Wands and Roses

**Wands and Roses** adds a magical wand progression system with craftable rose-based materials, upgradeable wand variants, homing thistle projectiles, custom particles, ammo reloads, and shared combat abilities. **Current wand set:** • Wands and Roses: base rapid-fire rose wand. • Toxic Trouble: poisonous splash wand. • Scorching Scepter: fire wand with stronger charged shots. • Wand of Freezing: freezing wand with slow and splash control. • Staff of Jinxing: cursed wand that weakens high-health enemies through Jinx. **Crafting and progression:** • Craft Rose Petals from Rose Bushes. • Refine petals through risky crafting steps into stronger magical petals. • Craft the base Wands and Roses wand with sticks and Imbued Rose Petals. • Upgrade the base wand through smithing into Toxic Trouble, Scorching Scepter, Wand of Freezing, and Staff of Jinxing. • Repair wands with Lapis Lazuli through an anvil with a capped repair cost. **Wand enchantments:** • Thistle Damage increases wand projectile damage. • Thistle Damage I adds +4 base damage. • Thistle Damage II adds +8 base damage. • Thistle Damage III adds +16 base damage. • Homing Upgrade increases homing and red-crosshair targeting reach by 18 blocks. • Focus Recharge improves Focus regeneration speed. • Focus Recharge I reduces Focus recharge time by 1 second. • Focus Recharge II reduces Focus recharge time by 2 seconds. • Focus Recharge III reduces Focus recharge time by 3 seconds. • These enchantments can appear through normal enchanting systems such as enchantment tables, enchanted books, fishing, and villager trades. • Wands can hold the wand enchantments together, letting players build stronger specialized versions. **Telekinesis:** • While holding any wand, middle mouse can select, grab, move, release, throw, or anchor entities and blocks. • Selected targets glow so players can clearly see what is being controlled. • Scroll wheel moves grabbed targets closer or farther. • Left click throws grabbed targets forward. • Releasing blocks can turn them into falling blocks, while anchoring can place blocks back into the world. • Living entities can be temporarily anchored in place. • Self Telekinesis can be activated with Ctrl + middle mouse while holding a wand. • During Self Telekinesis, the player glows and can drift through the air by looking in a direction and using the scroll wheel to control movement strength. • Releasing Self Telekinesis gives a short Slow Falling effect for safer landing. • First middle mouse click is "Selection Mode", Second middle mouse click is "Locked mode or Grab mode", third middle click is the release. • To anchor a block or entity press "CTRL" and "Middle Mouse" while on locked mode. • Telekinesis uses Focus, a separate wand resource shown near the ammo display. **Focus and durability:** • Focus regenerates over time while holding a wand. • Telekinesis selection, grabbing, and Self Telekinesis activation consume Focus. • Holding telekinesis targets or Self Telekinesis slowly drains Focus. • If Focus runs low, raw XP points can be converted into Focus. • The exchange rate is 1 raw XP point for 10 Focus. • When XP is converted, the Focus display updates so players can see the refill. • When a wand reaches its final safe durability point, it can consume Focus instead of losing more durability. • Wands still do not fully break, but low durability, low Focus, and no XP can make them temporarily unusable. **Shared wand abilities:** • Time Snare: fires a large slowing projectile. • Arcane: grants temporary defensive buffs and limited burst attacks. • Goatify: temporarily turns enemies into goats. • Activate these three abilities by pressing the 123 keys above the WASD keys while holding any type of wand. **Server owner controls:** • Server owners can disable "block" telekinesis with /wandsandroses telekinesis blocks false. • Server owners can disable "Self" Telekinesis with /wandsandroses telekinesis self false. • These commands require permission level 2. • Both settings are enabled by default. • Entity telekinesis remains unchanged by these two commands. **Other features:** • Homing thistle projectiles. • Ammo and Focus display near the hotbar. • Custom wand particles and impact visuals. • Multiplayer-friendly projectile behavior. • Custom mob compatibility where possible. • Owned, allied, and supported plant-like mobs are ignored by thistle targeting. • Targeting and Focus systems include small optimizations for smoother modpack play.
