Casting Spells

by Command

Any active learned spell can be cast by using the /cast command as long as the player has permission to use the command.

While not the fastest way to cast, it's the most basic and does not require any skill binding.

Quickcasting

Spells can be configured to be castable via a quickcast bar that can be quickly toggled on by hitting certain keys (the SwapItem key by default).

This allows players to quickly cast certain spells they've bound to the quickcast bar by tapping F and then the number of the binding, which will cast the spell that is bound to that slot if one is present.

Players can bind spells for quickcasting by opening the Spellbook (/spellbook) and right-clicking a usable spell, which will open the binding window.

Quickcast Options

Quickcasting can be configured to work in a variety of ways inside the config-spells.yml config file.

Planned types are:

• CAST_BAR - Player taps the number of a binding to cast that spell
• CLICK_COMBO - Player performs a click-combo to cast a certain spell.

Cast Bar

The cast bar can be configured with up to 8 different spells (the maximum). When the castbar is toggled on, the player simply taps the corresponding button to cast the spell

If configured to show spells in the ITEMS slot, spell icons will appear overlayed in the player's hotbar.

If configured to show spells in the ACTION_BAR slot, spell icons will appear as an action bar message using unicode icons.

Click Combos

not yet implemented

Spellbook

Active spells can be cast from the spellbook directly, which is a special menu opened using the /spellbook command.

When the spellbook is open, left-clicking a spell will cause the player to cast it.

Wands

not yet implemented

Wands are special items that can have a number of spells bound to them.

Depending on your configuration, left-clicking will cycle through the spells bound to the wand, and right-clicking will cast the spell.

Planned Features:

• Requirements or reagents for binding spells to a wand
• Special furniture/UI for binding
• Durability
