Command-based Spells

Quickstart

1. Open chat and run /spells to view every spell and its unlock cost.
2. Spend XP levels to unlock a spell. For example:
   • /unlock warrior
   • /unlock cloudwalk
   • /unlock mining
3. Cast it with /cast <spell>. Try /cast warrior to summon a Grave Warrior or /cast cloudwalk to gain temporary flight.
4. Assign a hotkey with /hotkey <spell> <key>, such as /hotkey warrior r. Press the assigned key whenever you want to cast the unlocked spell.
5. Use /myspells to view your unlocked spells, levels, active upgrades, and current effects.
6. Upgrade a spell with /upgrade <spell> when you have enough XP levels.

Hotkeys are shown under the Commandbound Grave Warrior category in the Controls menu. A spell must be unlocked before it can be assigned or cast.

Abilities And Mechanics

Warrior

Cast /cast warrior to summon a fast Grave Warrior a short distance in front of you.

The Grave Warrior:

• Is 1.5 times the size of a normal zombie
• Wears netherite gear
• Has powerful melee attacks and strong knockback
• Uses a flaming Power III bow
• Fights for you until its duration ends
• Does not burn in daylight

Its base duration is 5 seconds and doubles with each upgrade.

Cooldown: 5 minutes.

Project

Cast /cast project to leave your body in a bounded spectator projection. Your original game mode and position are stored while you explore.

• The projection begins with a 40-block radius.
• You cannot travel beyond the radius from your body.
• If you reach the limit, you are returned to the edge of the projection.
• Cast /cast project again to return to your body and original game mode.

Cooldown: 4 minutes when starting a projection.

Sanctuary

Cast /cast sanctuary to create a temporary white-spark sanctuary centered on your current position.

While inside the sanctuary:

• You are invulnerable.
• Mob hostility is suppressed.
• The sanctuary lasts for a limited time.
• Leaving the radius removes its protection.

Cooldown: 3 minutes.

Sanctuary must be fully upgraded before you can unlock Haven.

Haven

Haven is the final sanctuary spell. Unlock it with /unlock haven after reaching the maximum Sanctuary upgrade level.

Cast /cast haven to create a permanent 32-block sanctuary. It provides the same safe-zone behavior as Sanctuary without a duration or radius upgrades.

To remove it, stand inside its radius and cast /cast haven again.

Haven has no cooldown and cannot be upgraded. You must uncast an active Haven before using Sanctuary again.

Pacify

Cast /cast pacify to permanently calm nearby mobs. Green sparks mark the effect.

At lower levels, Pacify affects hostile mobs. Upgrades increase the radius, then unlock companion behavior.

At companion levels, affected mobs follow and fight for you. Cast Pacify again while companions are nearby to send existing companions away; they leave for about 30 seconds before disappearing.

Cooldown: 4 minutes.

Aura

Cast /cast aura to toggle a permanent ring of blue sparks around yourself.

The aura:

• Follows you wherever you go.
• Extends 6 blocks from you.
• Periodically damages hostile mobs.
• Does not damage pacified mobs or your summoned creatures.
• Deals neutral, no-knockback magic damage.

Its radius never increases, but its damage doubles with each upgrade.

Cast /cast aura again to turn the aura off.

Cloudwalk

Cast /cast cloudwalk to gain Minecraft flight.

The first four levels have a 2-minute cooldown. The maximum level grants permanent flight and changes the spell into a toggle: cast it once to enable flight and again to disable it. Permanent Cloudwalk has no cooldown.

Mining

Cast /cast mining to summon six floating pickaxes that mine automatically in lanes beside and behind you.

• The pickaxes clear two-block-high mining paths.
• They can begin working even if summoned inside blocks.
• Mined items, including ores, are transferred to your inventory when the pickaxes disappear.
• Only one mining cast can be active at a time.

The pickaxe material and duration improve with upgrades.

Cooldown: 2 minutes after casting.

Portal

Cast both portal colors to create a linked pair:

• /cast portal blue
• /cast portal red

Each portal appears in front of you. Once both colors exist, walking into one teleports you to the other. Mobs that enter a portal can also be transported.

Blue and red portals have separate cooldowns, so you can cast one color while the other is still unavailable.

Cooldown: 5 minutes per color.

Portals are visual spell portals and do not require crafted materials.

Tame

Cast /cast tame to tame every nearby mob within 4 blocks, excluding Grave Warriors.

Each cast:

• Costs 10 XP levels.
• Makes affected mobs follow and fight for you.
• Makes the mobs persistent.
• Can refresh mobs that are already tamed by you.

Right-click one of your tamed mobs with your main hand to switch its behavior:

• Stay mode: the mob remains completely still.
• Follow mode: the mob follows and fights for you again.

Tame has no upgrade levels or cooldown.

Protection

Cast /cast protection to protect every mob within 3 blocks.

Each cast costs 15 XP levels. Protected mobs gain:

• Increased maximum health equal to 20 health points, or 10 hearts
• Strong regeneration
• Ongoing protection benefits while they remain protected

The spell affects mobs already near you when it is cast, so stand close to the creatures you want to protect.

Protection has no upgrade levels or cooldown.

Crafting And Obtaining

There are no crafting recipes or spell items. Spells are obtained by spending XP levels with /unlock <spell>.

Use /spells to see the complete list and /myspells to check your progress. Once unlocked, a spell can be cast through chat or assigned to a keyboard shortcut.

Progression And Strategy

• Start with Warrior for a temporary combat ally.
• Unlock Cloudwalk for early exploration and vertical movement.
• Upgrade Sanctuary if you want larger and longer-lasting safe zones.
• Fully upgrade Sanctuary before investing in Haven, which provides a permanent 32-block sanctuary.
• Use Pacify on hostile mobs first, then upgrade it to create loyal companions.
• Use Tame when you want nearby mobs to follow you and fight immediately.
• Cast Protection while standing among mobs you want to strengthen.
• Use Mining in areas where you want automated tunnel clearing and ore collection.
• Set different spells to convenient keys and use /hotkey list to remember your assignments.
• Keep /cast project on an easy-to-reach key so you can quickly return from projection mode.
