This article is fictional! Happy April Fools Day! 
This article was written by a German wiki admin violine1101 as a April Fools joke. The staff was never in the game, and the development version 19w13b was uploaded only once by Mojang.
The images come from a data and resource pack made specifically for this April Fool's joke that was Github repository is publicly available.
HaydenBobMutthew translated the page since July 29, which is nearly 4 months after April Fools' day.


The staff is a weapon and a useful tool that can be used in a variety of ways, such as defending against hostile mobs. There are a total of seven different types of staffs.

The staff will be another overhaul of the combat system in Minecraft as part of Java Edition 1.15, which is likely to be added. The staff was inadvertently included in the development release 19w13b, which is why this part of the 1.15 update is already known. Only shortly after the release of the snapshot Mojang noticed the error and uploaded a new version of the snapshot that does not contain any wands anymore.

Obtaining

Natural generation

Mobs

If the regional difficulty is at least 4, zombies and skeletons can spawn with any wooden wand. If it is at least 6, the player can also spawn with iron bars. To be able to spawn with diamond rods, the regional difficulty level must be at least 8.

All mobs can use the wands as well as the player, the only difference being that when used, the wand does not become damaged.

Trading

Main article: Trading

Wooden staff can sometimes be bought from priests.

Fishing

Main article: Fishing

All wooden staff can be rarely be fished as a treasure. However, wielded wands can neither be enchanted nor upgraded into iron or diamond wands. In addition, they are used up after only one use.

Smithing table

Staff can be made in smithing table. How exactly is not yet known, however, the staff recipe data can already be found in the game data. However, the inventory of the smithing table has not been implemented yet.

The following ingredients are needed in addition to a stick to make wooden wands:

Staff Ingredient
Ice Staff
Ender Staff
Fire Staff
Poison Staff
Nether Staff
Mushroom Staff
Water Staff

To make iron staff, the player have to combine a wooden staff with an iron ignot, and to make a diamond staff, the player need an diamond and an iron staff.

Usage

Staff can be used by right-clicking. In this case, a beam of particles is emitted, which extends up to 100 blocks.

If the beam hits a block or a creature, something different happens depending on the type of wand. However, if the beam does not hit an obstacle after 100 blocks, the beam will fly straight down until it hits one. If the beam has not encountered an obstacle after 15 seconds, it disappears immediately.

The beam travels a distance of about one meter in one tick, that is about 20 blocks in one second.

There are a total of seven different types of wands, each of which performs a different action when the beam hits:

Ice wand

A player freezes a zombie with his ice staff.

Ice staff

The ice staff has an ice ball on top that rests on a golden mount.

With this rod can snow produce and freeze water. In addition, creatures can be frozen using the ice stick for about five seconds, so they can not move or attack the player.

Ender wand

A player teleports with his ender wand on a tree.

Ender staff

An ender staff is made up of a ender pearl mount that sits on a purpur (or a popped chorus fruit) mount.

Unlike the other rods, this rod does not change the world where the beam of the rod strikes. Instead, the player who used the staff is teleported to this location. This allows the player to teleport long distances without having to use the ender pearl.

Fire wand

A player sets a husk on fire with his fire staff.

Fire staff

The fire staff has a netherrack mount on which a flame blazes.

If the beam of this staff strikes a block or a creature, it sets these in flames.

Poison wand

A player poisoned a cow with his poison stick.

Poison staff

The poison staff has a spider's eye tip on a dark holder made of an indefinable material.

This staff can create poison clouds that look much like the clouds that lingering potion creates. If a mob or player steps into such a cloud, it will receive the Poison effect for 10 seconds.

Nether star wand

A player uses his nether staff to blow up a beautiful house.

Nether staff

A nether staff just has a nether star at the top.

This wand causes the area in which it hits to explode. He has the same explosive power as TNT. All blocks destroyed by the explosion drops.

Mushroom wand

A player pursued by zombies saves himself from certain death by turning the zombies into red mooshrooms with his mushroom wand.

Mushroom staff

The mushroom staff has a red mushroom on top that is located on a mycelium block.

With the help of this rod, even in broad daylight red mushrooms can be planted. However, these will drop as soon as they receive a block update.

If the ray of the mushroom staff hits a creature, that creature becomes a mooshroom.

Water wand

A careless player extinguished himself with his water stick after carelessly stepping into fire.

Water staff

The water staff has a heart of the sea at the top that is made up of a kelp plant.

The beam of this rod produces water at the point where it hits, which disappears after a short time.

Enchantments

Wands can be given the following enchantments:

  • Curse of Vanishing: Does not drop the wand at death, but vanishes.
  • Unbreaking: Extends the durability. Up to level III.
  • Mending: Repair the wand when collecting experience points.

A '''bundle''' is an [[item]] that can store up to a stack's worth of mixed [[item]] types within itself in a single [[inventory]] slot. Items that stack to 16 occupy more space within the bundle, and items that do not stack occupy the entire bundle without allowing space for any other items.

|2=Item stack sizes (top row) and the number of bundle slots they take up (middle row). Sticks stack to 64, so they take up one bundle slot; ender pearls stack to 16, so they take up four; and swords do not stack, so they take up the whole bundle. So, for instance, a bundle may have 32 sticks and 8 ender pearls inside (bottom), which take up a total of {{Tooltip|(32×1)|32 Sticks}}+{{Tooltip|(8×4)|8 Ender Pearls}}=64 bundle slots.
}}
Bundles are used to store different [[item|item type]]s in the same [[inventory]] slot. This does not, however, increase the total capacity of the slot: each bundle has 64 "bundle slots" and each item placed in the bundle takes up these slots similar to how they take up space in a normal inventory slot: items that stack to 64 take up 1 bundle slot, items that stack to 16 (for example, [[egg]]s) take up 4, and items that do not stack (such as tools/weapons/armor) take up the whole bundle, all 64 slots.

Although bundles themselves cannot be stacked, a bundle can be placed inside another (nested): the inner bundle itself uses 4 slots plus the number of slots already occupied by the items in that bundle.<ref>{{bug|MC-203567||Bundles can be placed inside of bundles|WAI}}</ref>  

To place items inside a bundle, either (1) pick up the bundle in the inventory and right-click on the item(s) to be placed inside or (2) pick up the item(s) and right-click on the bundle. When placing bundles inside another bundle, the interface uses the first method: picking up Bundle A and right clicking on Bundle B attempts to store Bundle B inside A.  

Bundles can be {{ctrl|used}} inside the inventory to take out the last item put in. In this way, items are accessible LIFO (last in, first out). When {{ctrl|used}} outside the inventory, it dumps all the items out into the world.

Hovering over the bundle shows its contained items in its inventory slots. The number of bundle slots used is displayed as ''<fullness>''/64 in the tooltip. If the bundle is full, then the empty slots are greyed out with an <span class="invslot">{{SlotSprite|Bundle full}}</span>.

[[Shulker box]]es cannot be placed inside of bundles.

=== Mob loot ===

==== Pillagers ====

When killed, a [[pillager]] has a small chance (8.5%) of dropping a loaded or unloaded crossbow with random [[durability]]; the [[drop]] rate increases by 1% per [[level]] of [[Looting]]: 9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III. The [[drop]]ped crossbow can rarely (10% chance) be [[enchanted]] at level 5–19 regardless of being [[enchanted]] when it [[spawn]]ed.

Crossbows dropped by pillagers may have multiple enchantments, including duplicate enchantments on the same weapon.

==== Piglins ====
[[Piglin]]s have a chance of wielding a crossbow upon spawning, and they also have a small chance (8.5%) of dropping a loaded or unloaded crossbow of random durability when killed; this rate increases by 1% per level of [[Looting]]: 9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III. It can rarely (10% chance) be enchanted at level 5–19 regardless of being enchanted when spawned.

=== Weapon ===
[[File:Crossbowcooldown.gif|thumb|right|Charging and shooting the crossbow {{in|bedrock}}.]]
Crossbows are similar to [[bow]]s, but take longer to load and are slightly more powerful, shooting farther with slightly higher accuracy. Alternatively, they can be loaded with a firework rocket, which flies in a straight line.

Load them by {{control|using}} them, which makes the player move at sneak speed. Unlike bows, the [[arrow]] or [[firework rocket]] can be fired only if the player releases the use button after the crossbow is loaded{{Only|je}}  or if the crossbow finishes its loading animation {{Only|be}}. At this point, it ''must be used a second time'' to fire its bolt.

Once it has reached full charge, the [[player]]'s speed returns to normal. After that, shooting a charged crossbow does not delay any of the [[player]]'s current action like [[sprinting]] or [[swimming]].

The crossbow can even be placed in another [[inventory]] slot or into an [[item frame]] without the [[arrow]] or [[firework rocket]] being unloaded or fired. A charged crossbow also remains charged after enchanting it with an enchantment table or with an anvil.

In order to use the crossbow, at least one arrow or firework rocket must be present in the inventory. The player can choose the type of arrow to fire based on its location in their [[inventory]]:
* Arrows in the off-hand, or the selected [[hotbar]] slot if the crossbow is in the off-hand, are prioritized first. 
* If there are no arrows in the off-hand or selected hotbar slot, the arrow closest to slot 0 is selected. 
Crossbows take 1.25 seconds (25 ticks) to load. 

The player can load either an arrow, spectral arrow, tipped arrow (of any effect) or a firework (of any color/type).

[[Endermen]] teleport away from projectile paths, so they cannot be hit with crossbow [[arrow]]s. However, they can still get harmed by [[firework rocket]] explosions, if they can't detect the firework rocket.

=== Fireworks ===

[[Firework rocket]]s can be fired by loading the crossbow only while holding the rockets in the off-hand. They fly at 32 m/s. Firework rockets with higher flight duration have a longer time before they explode and therefore travel farther. Firing a firework rocket uses 3 [[durability]] points per shot.

|}
Firework rockets also work with the [[Multishot]] enchantment, enabling the [[player]] to shoot 3 firework rockets at a time. The increased durability usage stacks, resulting in 9 durability being consumed with each shot.

A shot firework rocket explodes instantly when it hits a [[mob]] or [[block]].{{only|java}} If the firework rocket has no explosion effect, it deals no [[damage]]. The explosion of a firework rocket deals {{hp|5}} to {{hp|6}} points of damage, with one [[firework star]]. The explosion has a radius of roughly 4 blocks, which is unaffected by the firework star's [[Firework Star#Effects|effect]]. Each additional firework star on the rocket deals an additional {{hp|1}} to {{hp|2}} points of damage, for a maximum of {{hp|11}} to {{hp|18}} with 7 firework stars. The flight duration of the firework increases the maximum range the firework can travel before exploding, but does not affect the damage output. Likewise, the damage remains the same regardless of any dyes used. The [[Piercing]] enchantment causes the firework rocket to pierce a number of entities based on its respective level before exploding.{{only|java}} Unlike an arrow shot from a bow, the firework does not slow down under water.

=== Repair ===

Crossbows can be repaired in an [[anvil]] or [[grindstone]] by combining two crossbows. Any loaded ammunition is retained from the crossbow in the first slot but sacrificed from the crossbow in the second slot.

===Enchantments===
{| class="wikitable"

!Name
!Description
!Max Level
|-
|[[Quick Charge]]
|Decreases the reloading time of the crossbow by {{code|level * 0.25}} seconds. Crossbows with [[Quick Charge]] III fire slightly faster than [[bow]]s. If [[commands]] are used to enchant a crossbow with Quick Charge V, the crossbow charges instantaneously. A crossbow enchanted with Quick Charge VI is effectively impossible to charge, which renders it useless. This can be done only {{in|je}}.
|III
|-
|[[Multishot]]
| Makes the crossbow fire a spread of 3 projectiles at once instead of a single projectile, which is useful for targeting mobs spread out in a small area. This works for both [[arrow]]s and [[firework rocket]]s. Firing with this enchantment still uses only one projectile, and because of that, it is possible to recover only one of the three arrows shot from a Multishot crossbow. Multishot crossbows use 3 [[item durability|durability]] points per shot, unless using fireworks for ammunition, in which case 9 durability is consumed. Mutually exclusive with Piercing.
|I
|-
|[[Piercing]]
|Makes [[arrow]]s shot from the crossbow pierce [[entity|entities]] they hit and continue their flight, which allows each arrow to hit up to {{code|level + 1}} entities. This is useful for targeting [[mob]]s closely packed together, and for conserving arrows, as they can be picked up after piercing entities. Arrows fired in this manner also ignore [[Shield|shields]]. Mutually exclusive with Multishot.
|IV
|-
|[[Unbreaking]]
|Causes a <code>(Level /(Level+1)) * 100%</code> chance a shot fired does not reduce the [[item durability|durability]] of the crossbow.
|III
|-
|[[Mending]]
|Allows a certain proportion of [[experience]] orbs collected to contribute toward repairing the crossbow, rather than raising the [[player]]'s experience.
|I
|-
|[[Curse of Vanishing]]
| Causes the crossbow to disappear instead of dropping on the ground when the player dies. The {{cmd|gamerule keepInventory}} overrides this.
|I
|}

[[Multishot]] and [[Piercing]] are mutually exclusive. Normal methods of [[enchanting]] allow only one of them to be applied to a crossbow.

Crossbows can receive 3 unique [[enchanting|enchantment]]s, and have a base enchantability of 1. Enchantments specific to crossbows include [[Quick Charge]], Multishot and Piercing.

===Fuel===
Crossbows can be used as [[fuel]] in [[furnace]]s, [[smelting]] 1.5 [[item]]s per crossbow.

==Trivia==
*Alongside [[pillager]]s, crossbows were inspired by ''[[Minecraft Dungeons]]'', even though they were added in the base game first.<ref>{{cite|url=https://discord.com/channels/579770991056519194/818903542139453480/819631528593588244| title = March 2021 developper Q&A|website=discord.com|date=March 11, 2021}}</ref>
*Crossbows [[enchanting|enchanted]] with [[Quick Charge]] VI and above get stuck on the first frame on the recharging animation because the resulting charge time is negative, and the game never reaches the time markers that tell it to advance the animation or the reloading procedure itself. It is technically possible to charge such crossbows, but this would require overflowing the value that determines how long the crossbow has been charged. This takes such an amount of time that this is practically impossible: for example, charging a crossbow with Quick Charge VI would take 69.4 years to complete.
*Although Piercing allows arrows to bypass [[shield]]s, they can't get through the wither armor.
*The crossbow's first-person loading animation in [[Bedrock Edition]] is different from [[Java Edition]].
*Even if a crossbow is already wound with a projectile, when it drops on the ground, it always looks uncharged.<ref>{{bug|MC-137552}}</ref>
*In real life, crossbows don't shoot the same arrows as bows, rather they shoot shorter, thicker, and oftentimes fletchless arrows (usually called "bolts") made to withstand the crossbow's increased power, which can shatter conventional arrows.
