Staffs & Tomes

Magic weapons in the mod can cast a basic spell on right click, a crouch spell when the player crouches while clicking, and a sprint spell when the player sprints while clicking. The mod ships as a data pack, so it is added to a world or server by copying the pack into its datapacks folder and activating it. aolu Common Resources must be installed alongside it, and the server and any client can run the mod with the dependency present.

The magic weapons take their values from the attributes the player already has, so status effects such as Strength and Weakness change their output. Haste and Mining Fatigue also affect how quickly spells can be cast. Holding a magic weapon in the offhand lowers attack damage and attack speed, while a weapon in the main hand with an empty offhand gains extra attack speed and armor points.

Staffs & Tomes adds its own enchantments for these weapons, including Swift Strike, which raises attack speed by 0.1 per level up to level 3, and Brute Force, which adds 1 attack damage. Brute Force cannot be combined with another damage enchantment. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering game versions 1.21.4 – 1.21.11, and the mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
