Basic Elements Mod 1.16.5/1.12.2 – The Elemental Sphere

Air Orb:

• Puts space between you and your enemy.
• Sprint towards an enemy, jump, then hit them in the face with one of these to perform a double jump over them.
• Flies the furthest of all the orbs.
• Shift + right click lobs the orb into the air above the player. After taking a step back, one can jump into them and get a nice little jump boost. *If the winds are in your favor and you have good timing of course.

Fire Orb:

• Flies straight when thrown as if gravity had no affect.
• On impact it will catch entities on fire. If no impact is made, the Fire Orb will decelerate, then explode.
• Has a lifetime of 105 ticks. If this hits a block it will “fail” making a nice little “plop” noise along with some particles.
• That doesn’t go to say it doesn’t damage blocks though. Only ignites creepers and explodes if it is not wet.
• Carries the Fuse and ExplosionPower NBT tags. For more details of how the NBTs work for this read, “Leaping Fire Orb”.
• Shift + right click will allow you to throw the fire orb a shorter distance, providing a more manageable way to blow things up. Half the distance to be exact.

Earth Orb:

• Hard to throw and landing fast.
• The Earth Orb does standard base damage to things it hits.
• Its dirt.

Water Orb:

• Does a nice/fair amount of damage to the following:
  • Enderman
  • Snowman
  • Blaze
  • Magma Cube
• Lobs through the air, going a bit further than the earth orb.
• If an entity hit with this is on fire, this will extinguish the entity.
• Also does minute damage to Slimes.
• Shift + right click lobs the orb slightly upwards then it comes down and splashes on you. (puts you out if you’re on fire.)

Nether Orb:

• Travels through things, like walls, and entities.
• If you find yourself in a situation of needing crowd control or hitting something from the other side of the wall, this is it.
• Flies almost as far as the air orb. (“If the specific gravity is greater than 1 the gas is heavier than air and the vapor will be found low;”)
• As it requires a diamond pickaxe to be able to craft one of these, and they are single use, these do just a little more damage than a diamond sword.

Aether Orb:

• Gives what you hit with it some health, regeneration, speed, and a jump boost. (also a slight dash of strength)
• Effects lasting 10 seconds.
• Good for villager safe keeping and elytra.
• Extremely strong against the undead. Hitting anything else with them will most likely result in death.
• Shift + right click will channel the aether orb through space and time to be called down from the sky and imbue its wielder with the energies of life.

Invisible Orb:

• Does a base damage of 3 to entities, can be customized with textures, particles, and things like that to create your own spell to fling around. assets –> guru –> textures –> entity –> invisible_orb
• .png must be named invisible_orb (case sensitive).
• Standard flight path entity.
• Can also be executed underneath an entity with a repeating command block to add upward lift.
• Does not originally damage players.

Creative Orb:

• Supports the same NBT tags as Fireworks. Is also invisible.
• Throws accurately and creatively.
• This is more like a detonation device or maybe something for beefy arrow trails. Good for volcanoes too. In Combination with explosions and other things (llama_spit being one of those things) these can demonstrate quantum mechanics such as cell division/growth, multidimensional quantum fields, and cellular differentiation.
• No pew noise.
• Example command:
  • /summon guru.creative_orb ~ ~ ~
    {Motion:[0.0,2.0,0.0],LifeTime:20,FireworksItem:{id:fireworks,Count:1,tag:{Fireworks:{Explosions:[{Type:4,Flicker:0,Trail:1,Colors:[16751365,16711680],FadeColors:[7017740]}]}}}

Leaping Fire Orb:

• Being a summon only entity, there is no item for this one. It is mainly for makings of creative fiery things.
• The way this entity flies is more like a snowball or arrow, in the way that if it goes up, it goes down. So, summoning it with the motion NBT tag will allow you to summon a fireball that’s not stuck going in one direction.
• These have explosive and fire damage that affect entities but not blocks.
• Fire orbs are visible at night, and in water.
• Can ignite creepers only if it is not raining.
• If summoned by a command block with ExplosionPower and the fuse goes off, these will damage blocks and entities.
• If summoned by command with Long fuse and explosion power, the Fire Orb must hit an entity for it to explode with given ExplosionPower.
• The fire orb supports the {ExplosionPower:#} and {Fuse:#} NBT tags.
• Example Command:
  • 0 for shortest fuse, 383 for longest.
  • /summon guru.fire_orb ~ ~11 ~ {Fuse:10,ExplosionPower:10,Motion:[0.0,0.0,0.0]}
