OTHER THINGS

There is a required resource pack for this datapack, please be sure to download it as well!

Custom advancements can be earned by using each of the staffs' right click spell.

More staffs are planned to be added in the future! Release time TBD, but stay tuned for them!

The staffs may receive balance changes in future patches if they are deemed overpowered or underpowered.

For servers, use of the Galeforce Staff's Hover (right click) spell may result in getting fly kicked. If you are using this datapack in a server, it is highly recommended to enable flying in the server config to prevent this.

This datapack was created for version 26.2.
