The Blue Staff

[opekope2]

The in-game name of the blue staff will be revealed when update 0.21.0 drops (#72).
In The Raid episode, the armorer, the cleric (and the fletcher) villagers forge the blue staff.
I believe this should be the job of the weaponsmith, and not the armorer (one can clearly see a weaponsmith in the episode).
The vanilla weaponsmith has way fewer trades than the armorer (half as much).
In this mod, obtaining the blue staff will require villager trading.
I also have plans of adding a rare new item into the trail ruins to encourage exploration, and crafting it to a blue staff ingredient, before handing it to the villager to assemble the staff. I already have textures for these two items, but this idea is flexible (commissioning new textures may delay the update).

Nicee! :D Im excited

[TeboMC]

Will the blue staff be weaker than the normal staff? Or the same?

[opekope2]

The same, but data packs can customize which items can be used in the staff.

[TeboMC]

Will datapacks be there for the cmd block staff aswell?

[opekope2]

I'm still working on the details, but the goal is to allow anyone to add their own commands with mods or data packs

[mritaliano565]

thats actually huge, because if enough people do their own data packs and mods for the command staff, we could eventually get it functional with all blocks in the game (and maybe a few modded blocks like the lucky block and minecraft icon)

[opekope2]

Extend StaffHandler, register it, register an item renderer, and you're good to go!

[TeboMC]

You should add a custom enchantment only for the blue staff only called "Blue Staff Activation" or somthing, idk, like how the cleric uses the magic on the staff with enchanting table to make the blue staff, well, blue!

[opekope2]

This is as canonically accurate as I could get it (based on The Raid episode, but some details are ambiguous), however, the texture is missing color details IMO.
Should I keep it as-is, or change it to a non-canonically accurate texture with color details?

[TeboMC]

You should keep it as it is right now, and test it as a staff in-game, if it doesnt look right, then you can add texture detailing to it.
