Arcane Wands

Arcane Wands

Adds a small but complete elemental magic system to vanilla Minecraft — three craftable wands, a per-item mana pool, and the recipes to make and recharge them. No new dimensions, no bloated tech tree — just three good spells and a reason to hoard amethyst.

Features

3 elemental wands, each with its own feel in combat Per-wand mana pool (0–100) shown right in the item tooltip Passive mana regen while a wand is held, plus instant recharge by sneak + right-clicking with a Mana Shard Simple, vanilla-style shaped crafting recipes — no new workbenches or tools required Fully compatible with JEI / recipe viewer mods — all recipes are standard minecraft:crafting_shaped / crafting_shapeless recipes

The Wands

Wand of Flames🔥

Right-click to fire an instant bolt of flame down your crosshair. Ignites and damages whatever it hits.

Cost: 12 mana Cooldown: ~1 second Cheap and fast — your everyday spell.

Wand of Frost🧊

Right-click to burst a cloud of frost at your target, slowing and weakening them for several seconds, with a bit of direct damage on top.

Cost: 10 mana Cooldown: 1 seconds Less about the kill, more about control — great for kiting or shutting down something dangerous.

Wand of Storms⚡

Right-click to summon a real lightning bolt at the targeted point and knock the target back. The slowest wand to recast, but hits the hardest.

Cost: 25 mana Cooldown: 3 seconds Your finisher.

Mana & Recharging🔮

Every wand tracks its own mana out of 100. It regenerates slowly on its own while held, or you can top it up instantly:

Sneak + right-click a wand while holding a Mana Shard in your inventory to refill 40 mana immediately.

Crafting🛠

Mana Shard — the core reagent, crafted from an Amethyst Shard + Redstone (shapeless, yields 2 per craft).

Wand of Flames — Blaze Powder, two Sticks, and a Mana Shard.

Wand of Frost — Prismarine Crystals, two Sticks, and a Mana Shard.

Wand of Storms — a Lightning Rod, two Sticks, and a Mana Shard.

Requirements

Minecraft 1.20.1 Fabric Loader Fabric API

Compatibility

Built entirely on vanilla registries and recipe types, so it plays nicely with JEI, REI, and other recipe-viewer or QoL mods out of the box.
