Azure Magnet Staff

Quickstart

1. Craft the Azure Magnet Staff at a Crafting Table using the recipe below.
2. Hold it in your hand and use it (right-click / tap the Use Item button) to fire a magnetic wave.
3. Watch the band of blue orbs ripple forward in a sine-wave pattern — anything caught in its path gets blasted away.
4. Wait out the 20-second cooldown before firing again. If you try too soon, you'll hear a dull click.

Overview

The Azure Magnet Staff is a rare, enchant-ready magical weapon that launches a visible wave of magnetic energy. Instead of throwing a projectile, the staff stays in your hand and emits a traveling wall of animated blue orbs that push enemies back on contact. Its dramatic visuals and area-denial power make it a strong tactical tool in both combat and exploration.

What It Adds

---

How To Use

• Fire the wave — Use the staff while holding it. A band of glowing blue orbs spawns just in front of you at eye level and travels up to 20 blocks in the direction you're looking.
• Knockback — Any entity the wave passes through is pushed ~4 blocks horizontally and lifted slightly upward. The caster is never hit by their own wave.
• Cooldown — Each use triggers a 20-second cooldown. During the cooldown the staff plays a low click sound if you try to fire and does nothing else.
• Collision follows visuals — The wave's hit detection matches the sine-wave shape you see. If you see orbs pass through an enemy, that enemy takes the knockback.

Abilities And Mechanics

The Magnetic Wave

• The wave is a moving band roughly 4+ blocks wide and undulates vertically in a sine-wave pattern as it travels.
• It advances at 0.5 blocks per tick and expires after reaching 20 blocks.
• Entities are only knocked back once per wave — they cannot be hit multiple times by the same cast.
• A high-pitched sound effect fires when the wave is launched, giving clear audio feedback.

Durability & Repair

• The staff loses 1 durability per use (100 % damage chance).
• Repair it in an Anvil using Gold Ingots (64 durability restored per ingot).

Enchanting

• The staff can be enchanted in an Enchanting Table or Anvil using sword-slot enchantments (e.g., Unbreaking to extend its life).
• Enchantability value is 12.

Progression And Strategy

• Early crowd control — The 4-block horizontal knockback is powerful for creating distance from multiple mobs at once. Fire into a group to scatter them before engaging individually.
• Cliff edges & voids — Aim near ledges to send enemies into the void or off heights for environmental kills.
• Cooldown management — Because you must wait 20 seconds between shots, use the wave as an opener or panic button rather than a primary attack. Pair it with a sword or bow for sustained fights.
• Enchant for longevity — With only 256 durability and one use per cast, Unbreaking III dramatically increases how many waves you can fire before repairing.
• Repair investment — Keep a stockpile of Gold Ingots. Each ingot at an Anvil restores 64 durability, so a full repair from near-zero costs about 4 ingots.
