This mod started as an attempt to port over one of my favorite items from Terraria, the Snake Charming Flute.

The Wand of the Rope Snake can use up to 2 charges, which recover over time. The particle color around the wand indicate how many charges it has: Gold is 2, Violet is 1, and Red is less than 1.

At the cost of 1 charge, Right-Clicking with the wand will place a snake that expires after a while.

For 2 charges, Ability 2 (Default: E) will place a permanent (until dismissed) snake.

And interacting with the pot afterwards will dismiss it and recover one charge immediately.

The recipe for the wand can be found in the tier 1 workbench, under tools.

Note: The charges are tied to the player, not the wand. So having multiple copies of the wand won't let you place down a forest of snakes.

Future Plans: Custom model for the wand and pot. Animating the snake, once I work out some other ideas.

Known Bugs: When the temporary snake expires (due to timing out, not breaking or interaction), it erases the 20 blocks above the original pot's location. As far as I can tell, this is due to how Hytale currently deals with its prefabs. Erasing everything in the hitbox of the previous entry on the list when the next one spawns, regardless of if the previous entry spawned at all. I'm not sure how to fix this issue.

So, for now, maybe don't use it under your buildings.
