Diamond Spells

Overview

Diamond Spells is a magic datapack for Minecraft 1.21.4 that adds 20 new wands to Minecraft as well as a gacha system for obtaining them. Each wand comes with a Normal Attack and an Ultimate that vary in power.

Guide

The datapack comes with an in-game guide that any player can access (even without cheats) by using the command /trigger guide.

The custom wands in the game have both a Normal Attack and an Ultimate. The Normal Attack can be casted by right-clicking with the wand in your mainhand. The Ultimate can be casted by crouching while right-clicking with the wand. Every spell has a cooldown that is shown in the wand's description. Players can only hold 5 wands at a time.

Every wand can be ascended up to 5 times by using copies of the wand at ascension 0. To do this, put the wand you wish to ascend in your mainhand, and an ascension 0 wand of the same type in your offhand. Then, crouch right-click to use the ascension 0 wand to ascend your wand.

There are two ways to get the wands in-game: through commands or through the gacha mechanic.

1. Using Commands. To get all of the wands currently in the game, you can use the command /function ds:give/all. If you want all of the wands at a certain ascension, you can use /function ds:give/all_ascension_#, where # is the ascension number you want. If you want a specific wand, you can use the command /function ds:give/(wand_name). To get a wand at a certain ascension, use /function ds:give/(wand_name)_ascension_#.
2. Gacha Mechanic. The game comes with a gacha mechanic. You can use Spectral Stars to pull for wands and other items. Spectral Stars can be obtained through advancements given by the datapack, daily quests that are assigned every Minecraft day, and crafting them. You can see your daily quest by using the command /trigger daily, which works even when cheats are not enabled. You can craft a Spectral Star using 5 diamonds as so:

To allow the player to better choose which wands they get, the wands rotate around on banners. This can be viewed using the command /trigger banner. When a player gets a legendary, it is guaranteed to be the wand on the current banner. When a player gets a rare wand (note that a player might get a rare item that is not a wand), it is guaranteed to be one of the two rare wands on the current banner. If the player has used 99 Spectral Stars without getting a legendary, their next Spectral Star will always grant them with a legendary. If they have used 9 Spectral Stars without getting a rare or legendary, their next Spectral Star is guaranteed to give them a rare or legendary.

Installation

Download the datapack and the required resource pack. Put the datapack in the 'datapack' folder of your world, and put the resource pack in the 'resourcepack' folder of Minecraft. If you load up the world and you get the advancement "Diamond Spells," you have successfully installed the datapack! (If you install it into an existing world, use the command /reload to load your datapack.)
