Usage

There are five special items provided by the datapack:

Ticket

• Triggered by using.
• Will break after one use.
• No default way to create these is provided in this datapack.
• Other datapacks provide specific types.

Wand

• Triggered by using.
• Will not break and can be reused.
• No default way to create these is provided in this datapack.
• Other datapacks provide specific types.

Bauble

• Triggered by getting hurt while having one in your inventory.
• Will break after one use.
• Created with the either:
• the magic:bauble loot table,
• the magic:bauble recipe that uses string, iron nugget, and ender pearl.

The effect triggered by the Bauble can be changed by dropping it alongside a Ticket or Wand; the second item will be destroyed and the effect will be copied, overwriting any previous effects it may have had.

Spell

• Triggered by being bought from a villager.
• Will break after one use.
• No default way to create these is provided in this datapack.
• Not intended to being actually held in an inventory.

This is a magic as a service provided by a villager trader; the item triggers instantly the moment that you buy it. It will not trigger by itself any other way, but it could technically be bound into a Grimoire.

Grimoire

• Can hold up to fifty-four effects and cast them at will.
• Obtained with the magic:book loot table.

The Grimoire can be edited by dropping it on a double chest; by doing so the Grimoire's and chest's inventories will be swapped. any Tickets, Wands, and Baubles bound to the Grimoire will then appear in its first six pages, and they can be used by clicking on their names.

Tickets and Baubles bound into a Grimoire will not break when used.

Overhead

Checks every player every frame to see if they used a carrot on a stick

Checks every player every frame to see if they have been hurt while carrying a bauble.

Checks every item in a 4-block distance of every player every second to see if it is a book that should be updated

Known Issues

Any magic item that replaces the held tool when cast should either have a safety check in the called function or it will destroy the book being held by the player.

When triggering any book slot, the datapack will check in order the player maihand, the player offhand, and finally raycast in search of a lectern, and trigger the magic from the first book it finds, regardless of the one the player actually used.
