StaffSMP Resource Pack

The visual companion to the StaffSMP plugin. Five hand-modeled magical staves, two projectile effects, and a Class Reroller — all bound to vanilla blaze rods via custom model data. Drop the pack in, and your blaze rods transform into wizardly arsenal.

Built for Minecraft 1.21.4+ using the modern assets/minecraft/items/ model-selector format. Resolution: 16×16 (vanilla).

What's in the pack

Five class staves

Each class in the StaffSMP plugin gets its own unique 3D model. The model switches automatically based on the staff's class — no manual model assignment needed.

Staff	Class
Electric Staff	Electric Wizard
Mage Staff	Mage
Monk Staff	Monk
Druid Staff	Druid
Ranger Staff	Ranger

Two projectile effects

When the Mage's fireball flies or the Druid's healing ball arcs toward its target, they're rendered with custom 3D models that follow the projectile in real time — no more vanilla snowball or default fireball texture.

Effect	Triggered by
Fireball	Mage right-click
Heal Ball	Druid right-click

Class Reroller

A unique 3D model for the Class Reroller craftable item — the magical artifact players use to swap classes.

---

How it works

Each model is mapped to the vanilla minecraft:blaze_rod item using custom_model_data values:

CMD	Model
1000	Wizard staff
1001	Mage staff
1002	Monk staff
1003	Druid staff
1004	Ranger staff
1010	Fireball effect
1011	Heal ball effect
1020	Class Reroller

These match the values the StaffSMP plugin sets on items, so the visuals appear automatically with no manual setup.

Designed for

This pack is built specifically to be used alongside the StaffSMP plugin. Without the plugin running, you can still preview the models via:

/give @s minecraft:blaze_rod[custom_model_data={floats:[1000]}]

(Replace 1000 with any CMD from the table above.)

Installation

Client-side

1. Download the pack
2. Drop the .zip into .minecraft/resourcepacks/
3. In-game: Options → Resource Packs → enable StaffSMP Resource Pack
4. Join an SMP server running the StaffSMP plugin (or use the give command above to preview)

Server-side (recommended for SMP)

1. Host the pack on a static URL (Modrinth's own CDN works)
2. Set resource-pack=<url> and resource-pack-sha1=<sha1> in server.properties
3. Optionally set require-resource-pack=true to enforce it

---

Compatibility

• Minecraft 1.21.4+ required (uses the new items/ model definition system introduced in 1.21.4)
• Declared pack_format 46 with supported_formats 46–200, so it loads cleanly on every 1.21.4+ version without version-mismatch warnings
• Does not work on 1.21.1–1.21.3 — those versions use the legacy overrides system
