AvM Staff
by opekope2
AvM Staff adds staffs to Minecraft Java Edition, a fan-made, mostly canonically accurate take on the staffs from the Animation vs Minecraft series.
What it does
Staffs from the Animation vs Minecraft series come into the game as items, each with a function written by the author. The author describes the mod as close to vanilla, and it adds a plain set of staffs rather than new dimensions or mobs. Textures for the royal staff and the staff infusion smithing template were drawn by a friend, and a bug fix came from a contributor named Ink&Soul.
The mod depends on Architectury API, Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and Kotlin for Forge, so each of those must be present on the matching loader. It runs on client and server, so servers and every player need it. Files exist for 1.20.4, 1.20.6, 1.21 and 1.21.1, with the latest Forge build targeting 1.21.1 and the latest Fabric and NeoForge builds marked as beta.
The project is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, with a public source repository, issue tracker and wiki. The author notes that the code is kept under that license and that a backport to older versions is possible but takes time. Command Block Staff and Anti Magick: Staff Mod are the two catalog mods that require it.
Key features
Royal staff
A royal staff and a royal staff head provide the high-tier staffs, with their own textures and recipes.
Faint staff set
Faint staff rods and a faint royal staff add lower-tier items that players can craft earlier in progression.
Staff infusion template
A smithing template lets players apply the staff infusion upgrade to supported items.
Items added over time
The author adds further items in small updates, and a GitHub discussion lists upcoming features.
