Glitchstorm Hammer

Quickstart

1. Craft the Glitchstorm Hammer using the recipe below, or find it in the Combat section of the Creative inventory.
2. Hold the hammer and attack a mob. Each successful hit triggers a Glitchstorm on the target.
3. You can also use the hammer on a living target to trigger the storm without making a normal attack.
4. Watch for glowing target outlines, portal particles, smoke, and a Wither sound. The target receives Glowing for 8 seconds and Wither II for 11 seconds.
5. Each attack or living-entity interaction consumes 1 durability. The hammer has 2,031 durability and cannot be stacked.

Overview

The Glitchstorm Hammer is a powerful combat item that adds a short withering storm to every living target you hit or use the hammer on. The storm visually marks its victim with glowing energy while applying Wither II.

The hammer also provides an additional +8 attack damage.

What It Adds

How To Use

Attack a target

Hold the Glitchstorm Hammer and attack a mob. On a successful hit:

• The target glows for 8 seconds.
• The target suffers Wither II for 11 seconds.
• Portal and smoke particles burst around the target.
• A Wither hurt sound plays.
• The hammer loses 1 durability.

Trigger a storm directly

Use the hammer on a living entity to trigger the same Glitchstorm effects. This also consumes 1 durability.

The effect is applied to the individual living target you hit or interact with; it does not automatically spread to nearby mobs.

Crafting And Obtaining

The hammer requires four Netherite Ingots, one Echo Shard, one Nether Star, and one Blaze Rod.

You can also obtain it from the Combat creative inventory.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Attack damage: +8 bonus attack damage.
• Glowing: Lasts 160 game ticks, or 8 seconds.
• Wither: Wither II lasts 220 game ticks, or 11 seconds.
• Visual storm: Portal particles and smoke surround the affected target.
• Durability: 2,031 uses.
• Stack size: 1.
• Targeting: The effect works on living entities.

Progression And Strategy

The hammer uses rare late-game materials, including a Nether Star, Netherite Ingots, and an Echo Shard. Save it for dangerous targets or encounters where the extra damage and Wither effect can make a difference.

Use direct interaction when you want to apply the storm to a living target without relying on a normal attack. Because every activation consumes durability, avoid wasting uses on harmless creatures and consider carrying another weapon for routine combat.
