Violet Lifedrinker

Quickstart

1. Craft the Violet Lifedrinker at a crafting table:

1. Equip it in your hand.
2. Strike an enemy with it. When the hit deals damage, you recover health equal to half the damage dealt.
3. Use the normal item-use control to throw it like a trident. It launches immediately without a charge-up.

You can also find the item in the Creative inventory under Equipment.

Overview

Violet Lifedrinker is a corrupted, enchanted trident-like weapon. It combines melee damage, ranged throwing, and life-draining attacks that restore the wielder's health.

What It Adds

• Violet Lifedrinker weapon
• Melee attack damage of 8
• Trident-style throwing
• A bright enchanted glint and Epic rarity
• A life-drain effect that restores half of the actual damage dealt
• 36 durability

How To Use

Melee attacks

Hold Violet Lifedrinker in your main hand and attack an enemy normally. After a successful damaging hit, the weapon restores half of the damage dealt to you.

Healing cannot raise you above your maximum health. Hits that deal no damage provide no healing.

Throwing

Use the item's normal throw control to launch Violet Lifedrinker at a target. The weapon throws immediately rather than requiring a charging animation.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft Violet Lifedrinker at a crafting table using:

• 1 Nether Star
• 2 Glowstone Dust
• 1 Trident

In Creative mode, select it from the Equipment category.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Each damaging hit calculates healing from the damage actually dealt.
• The healing amount is 50% of that damage.
• Overkill damage does not increase the healing beyond the damage the target actually received.
• Healing stops at the wielder's effective maximum health.
• Violet Lifedrinker has 8 attack damage and 36 durability.
• Its durability can decrease when it is used, so keep a replacement or repair plan ready.

Progression And Strategy

Violet Lifedrinker is especially useful when fighting groups of enemies or powerful targets that can survive several hits. Start fights with a ranged throw, then switch to melee attacks to recover health while continuing the battle.

Because the weapon needs to deal real damage to heal you, use it against targets you can consistently hit. Avoid relying on it as your only defense when enemies are heavily armored or when your attacks are being blocked.
