EmpireWand

The Kingdom inspired plugin!

Give your players a wand. Right-click to pick a spell, left-click to cast it. EmpireWand has 29 spells on two wands: comets, lightning storms, explosions, flame waves, wolves, and a catapult made of blood. Every spell can be changed in a config file, you can copy a spell to make a variation, and you can build brand new spells without writing any code.

It runs on Paper with Java 25, needs no other plugins and no resource pack, and runs only on your server.

The two wands

Empire Wand (26 spells): Capture, Comet, Confuse, Ender Egg, Escape, Explode, Explosion Wave, Explosive, Flamethrower, Flame Wave, Launch, Leap, Lightning Arrow, Lightning Storm, Little Spark, Poison Wave, Spark, Burn, Fireball, Wolves, Kamikaze, Empire Block, Empire Protect, Freeze, Levitate, Lightning Spark.

Blood Magic (3 spells): Blood Spark, Blood Wave and Blood Block. Blood Block is placed first and then launched like a catapult: it rises, hangs in the air for a moment, then lobs at your target and explodes.

Controls

• Right-click: next spell. Sneak + right-click: previous spell.
• Left-click: cast the selected spell.
• A wand never breaks a block and never places one, so it is safe in builders' hands.

Change every spell

Each wand has its own file: plugins/EmpireWand/wands/empire.yml and blood.yml. Every spell lists all its numbers with a comment on each line: damage, radius, explosion power, fire on or off, durations, speeds, counts, chances, colours, particles, sounds, ranges, and the texts players see. Run /ew reload and it is live. A wrong value falls back to that spell's default and the server log says which one.

Switch spells on or off in game: /ew spells shows them as a list (green = on, red = off), click one to switch it.

Add your own spells, no coding

• Copy a spell and change its numbers. A "Big Comet" is a few lines.
• Build a new spell from effects (damage, potions, explosions, lightning, push, fire, particles, sounds, fireworks, healing, teleport). It can start around you, where you look, as a projectile, or as a wave along the ground.
• Make a whole new wand by copying a wand file and giving it a new name.
