(Overhauled!) Magic Shield Minecraft Data Pack

Version 1.20+ only

*Not tested in multiplayer*

This datapack adds an unbreakable shield, with powers!

To use powers you need a special shield: to create it you need a regular shield, a block of amethyst, two blocks of lapis, two lapis, and an ingot of netherite; here is the crafting:
(The knowledge book is a placeholder)
To select power, shift right-click with one of the following items:

  # Ghast Tear
  # 8 Stone
  # Hopper
  # Ink Sac
  # Brick  
  # Blaze Powder  
  # Honeycomb  
  # Lightning Rod   
  # Slimeball  
  # Scute  
  # Ender Pearl
  # Heart of the Sea
  # Echo Shard
  # 8 Amethyst Shard  
  # Chorus Fruit 
  # Dragon's Breath

Ghast Tear
Heals yourself (absorption, instant health, fire resistance)

8 Stone
Stone spikes on attacker

Hopper
Sucks nearby mobs into the ground

Ink Sac
Smoke bomb (and invisibility)*

Brick

Blaze Powder

Honeycomb

Lightning Rod
Strikes the attacker with a lightning bolt

Slimeball

Scute
Gives yorself slowness and resistance. Kelps on the attacker

Ender Pearl

Heart of the Sea

To activate, block a damage with the shield

OMG this is the exact datapack I was looking for in a survival world. ....Although a lot of the mobs you will fight are probably not worth the resources to use magic powers on, and you wouldn't be able to use a totem. Still an epic idea, and a great datapack!

I know it would possibly be annoying to change but what if instead of Grey dye to suffocate enemies you use echo shards instead since they are practically useless already, giving Echo Shards a use and a more magical one for that would definitely cause players going to Ancient Cities and Expanding what you could do with magical items.. ^u^

Grey dye then could be used to maybe summon fangs like the evoker or whatever you would want it to be..



Also an idea for the Amethyst if none as of right now, maybe it can be another distraction type magical ability where it will play a sound at a specific location to distract entities so like a beautiful music charm..

Would draw the Warden to that location temporarily or make Allays dance around that area and be a fun little spell..

May not be the best but something to do with sound feels right for amethyst imo.. ^u^




And what if dropping an EnderPearl instead of using it allows you to teleport directly at an entity stunning them for less than 5 seconds so enough time for the player to react before the entity does so for example if you teleport at a Creeper it doesnt insta-Kaboom you but cause its so little time the entity is stunned for the player needs to act quick..



And another idea for the Eye of Ender (may not be a super great one but), if dropped it can teleport player to their last set spawn location, being the world spawn, their bed or even respawn anchor..





I hope these ideas/suggestion were okay, if you dont like any of them I am fine with that and understand..

I just love suggesting things and coming up with ideas, I always like to think even if its a terrible idea it may be able to be good enough to spark an even better idea and it also shows I am interested in the specific project which I am..

I love the concept and am one for this..

Keep up the good work.. ^u^

Thanks for the ideas! This is my first datapack and it is (and was) a test. It would be great to do an upgrade! Unfortunately, I'm at school at the time, so I don't know if I'll have time to do it.

you also have to go to _tick.mcfunction, at the bottom there are two commands you need to edit.
