Phantom Attribute Staff

Quickstart

1. Gather the materials for a Mimic Soul Stone and craft it at a crafting table.
2. Use the Soul Stone to forge the Phantom Attribute Staff.
3. Hold the staff in your main hand and defeat mobs. Each mob you kill with the staff equipped is recorded as a usable form.
4. Double-use the staff quickly to open the Phantom Kill List, then select a recorded mob form.
5. Sneak and use the staff to transform into the selected form.
6. While transformed:
   • Use the staff once to activate that form’s Phantom ability.
   • Sneak and use the staff again to return to your true form.

A double-use must happen within roughly 0.4 seconds. A normal single use is briefly delayed so the staff can distinguish it from a double-use.

Overview

Phantom Attribute Staff lets you collect mob forms through combat and use their powers with a forged magical weapon.

The staff tracks the mobs you defeat, allowing you to choose from your recorded forms. Each form changes your displayed form name, grants form-based health and strength bonuses, and provides a unique ability with its own cooldown.

What It Adds

The Phantom Attribute Staff is enchantable as a sword and can be repaired with ender pearls. Both custom items have a maximum stack size of one.

How To Use

Recording Forms

Hold the Phantom Attribute Staff in your main hand while fighting. When you defeat a mob, its form is recorded the first time.

Each mob is recorded only once. After a successful recording, you will receive a message identifying the new form.

Forms remain available in your Phantom Kill List, so you can switch between all the mobs you have collected.

Selecting a Form

Use the staff twice quickly to open the Phantom Kill List. Choose a form from the menu to make it your selected form.

Selecting a form does not transform you immediately. It only chooses the form used by the next transformation.

Transforming

Sneak while using the staff:

• If you are in your normal form, you transform into the selected mob form.
• If you are already transformed, you revert to your normal form.

You must select a form before transforming. Your name tag displays the current form while transformed.

If you die while transformed, the transformation ends.

Activating Abilities

While transformed, use the staff once to activate the current form’s Phantom ability. Abilities may:

• Apply potion effects to you
• Damage or knock back nearby enemies
• Affect nearby players
• Launch projectiles
• Dash or teleport you
• Create explosions or summon entities

The action bar displays whether the ability is ready or how many seconds remain on its cooldown.

Crafting And Obtaining

Mimic Soul Stone

Craft the Mimic Soul Stone at a crafting table using amethyst shards, echo shards, and a nether star.

The first Soul Stone you claim is permanently assigned to you. Only one can be crafted per player; additional copies are removed from your inventory.

Phantom Attribute Staff

After obtaining the Mimic Soul Stone, forge the Phantom Attribute Staff at a crafting table using ender eyes, the Soul Stone, a netherite ingot, and a stick.

The staff is a sword and deals 8 attack damage. It has 1,561 durability, can receive sword enchantments, and can be repaired with ender pearls.

Abilities And Mechanics

Cooldowns use these approximate durations:

• Short: 5 seconds
• Medium: 15 seconds
• Long: 30 seconds
• Boss: 60 seconds

Passive Form Bonuses

Every transformation applies form-based health and strength bonuses. Stronger forms generally provide more powerful combat bonuses but often have longer ability cooldowns.

Recorded Form Abilities

Other Recorded Entities

Entities without a dedicated ability use a general Phantom Echo. This echo grants invisibility, slow falling, and speed, then damages and knocks back nearby entities.

Progression And Strategy

• Start by defeating common mobs such as chickens, pigs, cows, sheep, rabbits, and zombies to build a flexible early kill list.
• Use mobility forms such as Horse, Dolphin, Phantom, Vex, Enderman, and Rabbit for exploration and repositioning.
• Use defensive forms such as Turtle, Cow, Mooshroom, Dolphin, Magma Cube, and Strider for survival.
• Choose area-control forms such as Guardian, Shulker, Witch, Spider, Creeper, and Warden when surrounded.
• Save long-cooldown forms for difficult encounters. Wither, Ender Dragon, Warden, Ravager, and Elder Guardian abilities are powerful but take longer to recharge.
• Select the form you want before entering combat, then transform with sneak-use when you are ready.
• Watch the action bar after every ability use so you know when the power is available again.
