Mana Staves

Mana Staves 0.3.0

Native Mana is here!

Mana Staves can now provide Mana directly to players without requiring the Arcane Focus. Server owners can choose how Mana is provided to best fit their server or modpack.

What's New

• Added configurable Base Mana for players.
• Added configurable Arcane Focus Mana.
• Base Mana and Arcane Focus Mana can be used independently or stacked together.
• Set either Mana source to 0 to disable its contribution.
• Mana provided by other mods remains compatible and can contribute to the same native Mana pool.
• Added contextual Mana HUD support for the vanilla Fire and Ice Staves. The Mana bar appears while using supported staves and hides when switching to unrelated items.
• Updated /manastaves info to display the active Mana configuration and current player Mana.

Backward Compatibility

The Arcane Focus remains the default Mana source, preserving the gameplay of previous versions.

Default configuration:

{
  "ManaCost": 15.0,
  "BaseMana": 0.0,
  "ArcaneFocusMana": 100.0,
  "RequireArcaneFocus": true,
  "EnableArcaneFocus": true
}

Server owners who want players to have Mana without the Arcane Focus can set BaseMana to the desired amount and disable the Focus requirement.

Also Included

• Preserved automatic elemental essence fallback when Mana is unavailable.
• Preserved vanilla staff charge mechanics, stamina use, durability, projectiles, sounds and animations.
• Improved compatibility with other mods that use Hytale's native Mana system.
