Do you want to be a wizard, but you did not get into Hogwarts? Don't be sad, now you can be a wizard in Minecraft! You begin by crafting the wizard staff, like so:

You can view the inventory of the staff by equipping it, and pressing right click while crouching. Inserting different items into the staff will change what it does.
