Howling Gale Keyblade

Quickstart

1. Obtain the keyblade by crafting it, selecting it from the Combat creative inventory, or using: /give @s howling-gale-keyblade-2zya7ugl:howling_gale_keyblade_2zya7ugl
2. Equip it in your main hand or offhand.
3. Aim at nearby living entities and use the keyblade to fire a forward-moving tornado.
4. Sneak and use the keyblade to activate its wind barrier.
5. Try ordinary melee attacks as well—targets struck by the blade briefly levitate.

The crafting recipe is automatically unlocked for players.

Overview

The Howling Gale Keyblade is a glinting sword with three ways to control the battlefield:

• Melee attacks launch struck targets into the air.
• A forward gale pulls in and throws other living entities.
• A wind barrier pushes away nearby entities and reflects projectiles.

Using either special ability consumes durability and triggers a short cooldown.

How To Use

Cooldowns prevent the keyblade from being used again until they expire. The ability can be activated from either hand, but the barrier only functions while the keyblade remains actively held in your main hand or offhand.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the keyblade in a crafting table using a feather, two ghast tears, a diamond, and a stick:

The recipe is granted automatically when you join the world and is also available in the recipe book.

Abilities And Mechanics

Howling Gale

Use the keyblade while looking in a direction to send out a cloud-and-crit-particle tornado. The gale follows your aim, including upward or downward angles, and reaches roughly 20 blocks forward.

Other living entities caught along its expanding path become tornado victims. For about 12 ticks, the moving storm pulls them toward its center. At the end, each surviving victim:

• Takes 7 points of magic damage.
• Is thrown forward and upward.

The gale can affect multiple living entities at once, but it does not target the player who fired it.

Wind Barrier

Sneak while using the keyblade to surround yourself with a storm of wind for 100 ticks—about 5 seconds. Clouds appear around the player while the barrier is active.

The barrier affects targets within 6 blocks:

• Living entities take 2 points of magic damage and are pushed away and slightly upward.
• Projectiles are redirected toward their owner when possible. Ownerless projectiles are sent away from you.

The barrier follows the keyblade only while it is actively held. Switching the keyblade out of your main-hand selection and leaving it out of your offhand stops the barrier’s protective effects until you hold it again or the duration ends.

Melee Levitation

A successful melee hit against a living target applies Levitation for 60 ticks—3 seconds. Use melee attacks to lift individual targets, then follow up with a gale or barrier.

Progression And Strategy

• Use the gale at the start of a fight to gather several targets and launch them away.
• Aim along corridors, bridges, or open terrain so the tornado’s full path passes through enemies.
• Use the barrier when surrounded or when fighting projectile users.
• Keep the keyblade actively held after activating the barrier; placing it in another inventory slot suspends its protection.
• Combine melee hits with the gale: levitate a dangerous target first, then send it flying with the tornado.
• Watch the keyblade’s durability, since both special abilities damage the item when activated.
