Kings Staff
by Gregothey
King's Staff puts a magic staff in the hands of players, and the blocks bound to it decide what it does.
What it does
The staff takes its power from whichever block is bound to it. A player binds a block by holding Shift and right-clicking it, then uses the staff by holding right-click. Most blocks place themselves where the player is looking, and the staff's effect follows the bound block, so a redstone block fires a red laser beam and a mob head spawns the matching mob. A command block steps through a set of magic effects with varied results. Pressing M changes the staff's use mode, and the same screen lets players place or delete a command block and switch between wood and stone types.
The staff is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Hitting an enemy deals damage based on the bound block, with zero damage when nothing is bound. Wool produces a large knockback, and netherite increases it further. The staff is listed as creative-only, and the mod works with texture packs and modded blocks. The code is released under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Block-based staff power
The staff's effect depends on the block bound to it, so one item can work as a laser, a spawner or a command launcher.
Placing blocks by sight
Most blocks are placed where the player is looking, which speeds up building with the staff.
Command block cycling
A command block bound to the staff steps through a set of magic effects, each with its own result on hit.
Knockback and damage
Hitting enemies deals damage based on the bound block, and wool and netherite change how far enemies are pushed back.
