High Elf

Item-channelled magic and mana.

Impact: Medium
Best for: Magic-focused players who enjoy combining held items with contextual abilities.

High Elves deal and resist additional magic damage, possess increased mana in supported magic systems, and can channel the essence of ordinary items into specialized powers. They are physically fragile and perform poorly in heavy armor.

Abilities

  • Draw Essence: The Primary Active key performs a different action depending on the item held:
    • Ice block: Gain a Frost Walker-like Glacial Step across water.
    • Obsidian: Walk safely across lava through Extrusive Movement.
    • Golden apple: Right-click a zombie villager to cure it directly without first applying Weakness.
    • Ender pearl: Press Primary Active to teleport toward the point you are looking at, up to approximately 50 blocks.
    • Coal: Press Primary Active to cast a weak cone of flame.
    • Blaze powder: Press Primary Active to cast a stronger cone of flame.
    • Bottled dragon's breath: Press Primary Active to cast a strong magical flame cone that scales with Fire and Arcane/Ender spell power.
  • Mystic Affinity: Deal more magical damage and take less magical damage.
  • Highborne: Gain additional mana in supported magic systems. Secondary Active channels rapid mana regeneration, with a long base cooldown of approximately two and a half minutes.
  • Towering: Slightly taller and more slender than a human.
  • Elegant: Heavy armor slows you unless it has Featherweight. Maximum health is also reduced.
  • Fragile: Physical attacks deal increased damage to you, and your health pool is lower.
