Description
The One Wish Willow is a rare, cursed handheld item that grants one of 7 selectable wishes you will find irresistible. Choose your wish wisely. You only ever get one. Treat the one wish willow with the reverence it deserves... or sell them to your friends (or enemies...WINK WINK) and set up shop in your server... Found in Woodland Mansions, Ancient Cities, or sometimes sold by the apathetic Representative — tap/use to open the wish UI, use again to cycle options and confirm (confirm plays a snapping sound and consumes the willow), and there’s a short 0.5s cooldown so you can scroll and pick without the item locking up. Choose one of seven twisted wishes — Wealth, Power, Love, Immortality, Knowledge, Flight, or Peace — each grants powerful benefits but also delivers dangerous, often lasting or permanent side effects like summons, curses, debuffs, hallucinations, or hostile spawns, so your choice matters. The Wealth wish has been reworked: it now guarantees a special Wealth Representative who spam-drops stacks of emeralds around you for about ten seconds, then curses you by spawning exactly ten creepers named Debt Collector nearby. I will probably do more with this mod down the line depending on how it is received. Inspired by the movie Obsession. This is the beta run to see if it is viable. REMEMBER YOU ONLY GET ONE WISH! ONCE USED, YOU WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO USE THE WILLOW AGAIN IF IN A NEW WORLD, THOUGH OTHER PLAYERS CAN USE THEIR WISH. Each has a benefit and a cost but not balanced mechanically. Immortality is objectively worse than Peace for most players. This is intentional. This mod mirrors the monkey's paw logic: wishes betray you. Sell this to your friends... they might betray you. I would like to consider the willow less as an item in the future and implement further developments to enhance the willow itself as a vector for betrayal, regret, and social manipulation on multiplayer servers. -Imbalance creates meaning (Immortality being worse is a feature, not a bug) Irreversibility creates stakes (one wish, ever, per world) -Scarcity creates regret (you'll wonder about the other six wishes forever) -Public action creates social consequence (the snap sound broadcasts your choice to everyone) -Betrayal creates stories (selling to friends becomes a social game) Play the mod and I will ponder on this: "How can I create a system where human nature, greed, deception, and regret—becomes the core gameplay?" Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

One Wish Willow
Quickstart
- Get the Willow — loot one from a Woodland Mansion or Ancient City chest, buy one from the Wealth Representative villager, or craft one at a crafting table (see recipe below).
- Hold it in your main hand — it glints with a dark-purple enchant glow.
- Tap/Use to open the wish menu. Seven wishes appear on your screen.
- Sneak + Use to scroll through options; Use alone to confirm your selection.
- The willow snaps with a violent cracking sound and is consumed. Your wish — and its curse — begin immediately.
Overview
The One Wish Willow is a single-use, epic-rarity cursed item. It grants one of seven powerful wishes, but every wish comes with a dangerous and often permanent price. The item can only be used once — confirming a wish destroys it. Choose carefully; there is no undo.
What It Adds
- One Wish Willow — a rare, hand-held, enchantment-glinting item with dark-purple tooltip text.
- Seven Wishes — each with unique benefits and twisted side effects.
- The Wealth Representative — a special villager that appears after the Wealth wish and showers you with emeralds before sending the debt collectors.
- Debt Collectors — ten Creepers that spawn after the Wealth Representative finishes paying out.
How To Use
Opening the Wish Menu
Hold the One Wish Willow and tap/Use to open the wish selection interface. A title banner reading "✦ One Wish Willow ✦" appears along with an action bar listing all seven wishes. An arrow (▶) marks your currently selected wish.
Scrolling and Confirming
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Use (while menu is open) | Confirm the highlighted wish |
| Sneak + Use | Scroll to the next wish |
There is a 0.5-second cooldown between interactions, giving you time to scroll without accidentally confirming. Once you confirm, the willow is removed from your hand and the wish fires immediately.
The Snap
When a wish is confirmed, a deep, resonant branch-crack sound plays at high volume and is audible from a significant distance. This signals to everyone nearby that a wish has been made.
The Seven Wishes
| Wish | Benefit | Twisted Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Wealth | The Wealth Representative spawns and drops stacks of emeralds around you for ~10 seconds | Exactly 10 Creepers named Debt Collector spawn nearby when the payout ends |
| Power | Unstoppable strength buffs | Dangerous lasting side effects or hostile spawns |
| Love | A devoted companion entity follows you | Lasting curse tied to the companion's presence |
| Immortality | Protection from death | A permanent corrupted-soul curse with recurring debuffs |
| Knowledge | Reveals hidden truths | Hallucinations or disorienting effects |
| Flight | Freedom from the ground | Debuffs or curses that linger after the flight ends |
| Peace | Ends conflict around you | Summons, debuffs, or other hostile consequences |
Note: After most wishes (excluding Wealth, which has its own sequence), there is a chance the enigmatic Representative villager will appear near you roughly three seconds later — a silent, apathetic observer of your choice.
Crafting And Obtaining
The One Wish Willow requires rare and dangerous materials, reflecting its cursed nature:
You can also find it in loot chests inside Woodland Mansions and Ancient Cities, or occasionally purchase one from the Representative villager trader.
Abilities And Mechanics
- Epic rarity with an enchantment glint and dark-purple hover text — it stands out in any inventory.
- Max stack size of 1 — you can only carry one at a time.
- Single use — confirming any wish permanently consumes the item.
- 0.5s use cooldown — prevents accidental rapid confirmation while scrolling.
- Corrupted Soul tag — certain wishes apply a lasting curse tracked across sessions.
- Immortality tag — the Immortality wish applies a special persistent flag that keeps you alive under lethal conditions.
- Love Companion — the Love wish spawns a dedicated companion entity that follows you; its presence is tied to the wish's ongoing effects.
Progression And Strategy
- Don't wish early. The crafting recipe requires an Enchanted Golden Apple, Ghast Tear, Warped Roots, and a Blaze Rod — materials that demand significant mid-to-late-game progression. The item's power level matches that investment.
- The Wealth wish is a trap for the unprepared. The emerald windfall is generous, but ten Creepers named Debt Collector spawn immediately after. Have an escape plan or strong armor before you take the payout.
- Immortality sounds safe — it isn't. The permanent corrupted-soul debuff applies recurring negative effects over time. Long-term survival may be harder than death itself.
- Loot first, craft later. If you explore Woodland Mansions or Ancient Cities early, you may find a Willow without spending rare crafting materials. Save those materials for other uses.
- The snap is public. The loud branch-crack is audible from far away on multiplayer servers. Other players will know a wish has been made.
