Voidfire Watchblade

Quickstart

1. Obtain a Voidfire Watchblade by crafting it or using the command: /give @s com_voidfire_watchblade_wrk52uwa:my_sword 1
2. Equip it in your main hand.
3. Walk around. As you move, the blade leaves a trail of black concrete blocks behind you, with portal-like particles.
4. Attack an entity with the blade to produce an additional portal-like burst at the target.
5. To awaken a companion, drop a Watchblade on the ground near a player. The dropped blade is consumed and becomes a tamed Voidfire Watchblade Companion that follows that player.

You can also summon a wild companion directly with:

/summon com_voidfire_watchblade_wrk52uwa:watchblade_companion ~ ~ ~

Tame a summoned companion with bones.

Overview

The Voidfire Watchblade is a sword with a supernatural movement effect. While held in your main hand, it marks your path with black concrete and eerie particles. It also awakens into a loyal wolf-like companion when dropped near a player.

The companion can follow and defend its owner, attack hostile creatures, breed, wear wolf armor, and respond when interacted with.

How To Use

Leaving a Voidfire Trail

Hold the Watchblade in your main hand and move through the world. The blade places black concrete at foot level immediately behind you when there is air to replace.

• Existing blocks are not overwritten.
• The trail does not appear while the blade is in another slot or held offhand.
• The trail can be used to mark paths, entrances, bases, or explored areas.
• Portal-like particles appear above newly created trail blocks.
• The placed black concrete remains until it is mined or otherwise removed.

Triggering the Blade Effect

Strike any entity with the Watchblade to create portal-like particles around the point of impact. This visual effect is separate from the sword’s normal 7 attack damage.

Awakening a Companion

Drop a Watchblade on the ground within 8 blocks of a player. The blade awakens and disappears, spawning a Voidfire Watchblade Companion at its location.

The companion is immediately tamed by the nearest player in range and follows that player. Make sure you are close when dropping the blade, and do not drop your only Watchblade unless you intend to give it up.

Interacting With the Companion

Interact with the companion to hear its response:

“The Watchblade answers: I am here, my keeper.”

A tamed companion also supports normal wolf-style interactions, including sitting and standing. Its owner can leash it and manage its equipment.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the Watchblade at a crafting table using two Amethyst Shards and one Stick:

Amethyst Shards are also used to repair the blade. Each repair item restores up to 390 durability.

A companion can be obtained by dropping a Watchblade near a player or by summoning com_voidfire_watchblade_wrk52uwa:watchblade_companion. Summoned companions begin wild and can be tamed with bones.

Abilities And Mechanics

Watchblade Properties

Companion States

A wild companion has 8 maximum health and deals 3 melee damage. It can attack nearby skeletons, sheep, rabbits, foxes, and land-based baby turtles. Wild companions avoid llamas.

Taming a companion gives it:

• 40 maximum health.
• 4 melee damage.
• Owner-following behavior.
• The ability to defend its owner.
• The ability to teleport back when it is separated from its owner.
• The ability to sit and stay in place.
• The ability to wear wolf armor once it is an adult.

Tamed companions primarily target skeletons and can also respond when their owner is attacked or attacks a target.

Healing And Feeding

Companions can be healed with suitable meat and fish, including:

• Raw or cooked porkchop
• Raw or cooked beef
• Raw or cooked chicken
• Raw or cooked mutton
• Raw or cooked rabbit
• Fish and cooked fish
• Salmon and cooked salmon
• Clownfish
• Pufferfish
• Rotten Flesh
• Rabbit Stew

Companions panic around hazards such as fire, lava, campfires, magma, lightning, and freezing conditions, so keep them away from dangerous areas.

Wolf Armor

An adult tamed companion can wear wolf armor.

• Hold wolf armor and interact with the companion to equip it.
• Hold shears and interact with the owner’s companion to remove the armor.
• A sitting companion with damaged wolf armor can be repaired using an Armadillo Scute.

Breeding

Two adult, tamed, full-health companions can breed when fed any of the following:

• Chicken or Cooked Chicken
• Beef or Cooked Beef
• Mutton or Cooked Mutton
• Porkchop or Cooked Porkchop
• Rabbit or Cooked Rabbit
• Rotten Flesh

The parents produce a baby companion. Baby companions can be fed the same foods to help them grow, and mature naturally after about 60 seconds.

Coat Variants

The companion’s initial coat is selected according to the biome where it spawns. Awaken or summon companions in different biomes to discover the available appearances.

Progression And Strategy

• Craft one Watchblade for combat and trail marking before sacrificing another to awaken a companion.
• Use the trail to mark explored routes, but avoid placing it across areas where you need to preserve open ground.
• Repair the blade with Amethyst Shards before long expeditions.
• Keep your companion fed so it can reach full health for breeding and recover after combat.
• Use wolf armor to improve the companion’s protection.
• Let the companion fight skeletons and defend you, but watch for fire and lava hazards.
• If a companion wanders too far, it can teleport back to you under the appropriate conditions; keeping it nearby is still safer.
