Minor Spell Visual Rework

Hello again, I am here to make a very small suggestion today. With the new 1.120 update coming out, and the general theme being reworking already existing stuff, I believe some minor spell changes would be very awesome.

1. Meteor should have a block actually crash into the ground. Right now it looks more like a firebeam hitting the ground and then exploding. If a cobblestone block held by an invisible armor stand was added, it would make the spell look much more interesting and feel more powerful, not a portable nuke.

2. Spin attack should have a small dagger than actually spins around. This will make the attack look like a real spin attack, currently it seems more like a particle shield.

3. Heal can have heart particles? only reason as that you healed...

4. Totem slam (Totem summon) Should cause the ground to shake when it hits the ground, alot like the warrior bash spell.

5. Multi-hit. I'm not sure of this is supposed to look like what it does...But its got a no-resource block break(the purple and black blocks MC has to show there is no resource image for it) Maybe instead you have redstone blocks breaking instead? That would give it a much better look in my opinion.

That is all the reworks I could think of. Reminder that is is just suggestion, the currect effects are find for what they need to do, I just think they can be improved. Feel free to give any ideas for what you think could change however.

 

1. You want a spell that feels more powerful than a portable nuke?? wut
2. I like the new Spell Animation tbh
3. I hate heart particles, the animation we have now looks a lot more clean and like a spell should look like in my opinion
4. Why not. I dont see the need for it but this could look good.
5. YES, 100% yes. Change the block (dont know if redstone would be the best tho)

 

I'm guessing they wanted if to feel more like a meteor rather than some sort of airstrike. And it wouldn't be the hardest thing to do. Falling blocks are easy enough to use (assuming they work well in 1.8. THere may be some difficulties I am missing).

 

hm
I like the meteor tho :I

 

exactly lol

________________________________

The current meteor is alright, its still intense, it just feels like the mass of the meteor is missing

 

in newer versions (literally anything newer than 1.12.2 i think) multihit appears without the purple and its not that bad honestly, not sure which i prefer, because i played in 1.13 for awhile for the fast swimming and noticed it till it grew on me. i think red is a bit too glaring, and something darker is more optimal.

 

hmm maybe obsidian breaking?

 

maybe a magma block instead? it would look more fiery

 

good idea! That sounds much more fitting

 

My comment to these would be:

1. I think maybe it should be a round player head that looks like a meteor that should come with the meteor spell because 1 Minecraft block
would look bad because of its cube shape and 1 Minecraft block would be big for the size of the spell, I think that a player head would be the perfect size. I really like this idea (The player head one for the meteor)

2. I like the idea of a dagger actually spinning but it would look odd because you would also be holding the dagger and if the dagger in your hand disappears while another one appears for the spin attack spell then that would be bad because you can still melee attack mobs while spin attack is doing its thing. Hard to think of an idea that works but I like it.

3. I like the heal particles as it is. I wouldn't mind if every heal pulse there would be 1 heart that pops up on top of your head, maybe if it were a heart, it could even be a different textured heart because the normal one is quite bright although I like that it would show where the player is because sometimes it hard to find a player amongst some types of mob fighting situations and it would be like a small indicator as to where the healer is if you need healing.

4. I'm not really sure what this would look like, I think the totem landing looks good.

5. I absolutely agreed this needs changing but it looks like it already has been changed. Just tried it out and its obsidian block breaking particles.

AND TO MY OWN SUGGESTION: I think that Arrow Shield should 100% have actual arrows circling the player, instead of ugly arrow items
