If you don&#8217;t know how to make a data pack, here is a link to a tutorial to help you get started: Creating a data pack.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t already, you&#8217;ll want to create a `data` folder in your data pack folder. Then you&#8217;ll want to a create a folder named `wacky_wheel` within your `data` folder. After which you will have to create a folder called `spell_type` in the `wacky_wheel` folder. <\/p>\n<p>Your file path should look like this: `<your data pack folder>\/data\/wacky_wheel\/spell_type`. <\/p>\n<p>Now you&#8217;ll want to create a JSON file in  `<your data pack folder>\/data\/wacky_wheel\/spell_type`. For the purpose of this example, we&#8217;ll call it `free_diamond.json`. <\/p>\n<p>The first thing we&#8217;ll want to do is give a spell a name that will be displayed to the player when they roll that spell on the wheel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;`<br \/>\n{<br \/>\n  &#8220;name&#8221;: &#8220;Free Diamond!&#8221;,<br \/>\n}<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n<p>We can also optionally set a specific color for the name text and add some flavor text to be displayed underneath it:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;`<br \/>\n{<br \/>\n  &#8220;name&#8221;: &#8220;Free Diamond!&#8221;,<br \/>\n  &#8220;titleColor&#8221;: &#8220;#ADD8E6&#8221;,<br \/>\n  &#8220;flavorText&#8221;: &#8220;Enjoy your free diamond :)&#8221;,<br \/>\n}<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n<p>Next, we have to provide our spell with an item id that corresponds to an in-game item. This item will be used to represent the spell on wheel slices. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;`<br \/>\n{<br \/>\n  &#8220;name&#8221;: &#8220;Free Diamond!&#8221;,<br \/>\n  &#8220;titleColor&#8221;: &#8220;#ADD8E6&#8221;,<br \/>\n  &#8220;flavorText&#8221;: &#8220;Enjoy your free diamond :)&#8221;,<br \/>\n  &#8220;itemID&#8221;: &#8220;minecraft:diamond&#8221;,<br \/>\n}<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n<p>The next field we have to define is `castingTime`, which represents the amount of time (in ticks) that it will take to cast the spell after the wheel lands on it:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;`<br \/>\n{<br \/>\n  &#8220;name&#8221;: &#8220;Free Diamond!&#8221;,<br \/>\n  &#8220;titleColor&#8221;: &#8220;#ADD8E6&#8221;,<br \/>\n  &#8220;flavorText&#8221;: &#8220;Enjoy your free diamond :)&#8221;,<br \/>\n  &#8220;itemID&#8221;: &#8220;minecraft:diamond&#8221;,<br \/>\n  &#8220;castingTime&#8221;: 60,<br \/>\n}<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n<p>The last step is the provide the name of .mcfunction file that will be used to provide the actual spell effect. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;`<br \/>\n{<br \/>\n  &#8220;name&#8221;: &#8220;Free Diamond!&#8221;,<br \/>\n  &#8220;titleColor&#8221;: &#8220;#ADD8E6&#8221;,<br \/>\n  &#8220;flavorText&#8221;: &#8220;Enjoy your free diamond :)&#8221;,<br \/>\n  &#8220;itemID&#8221;: &#8220;minecraft:diamond&#8221;,<br \/>\n  &#8220;castingTime&#8221;: 60,<br \/>\n  &#8220;onCastFunction&#8221;: &#8220;give_diamond&#8221;<br \/>\n}<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we&#8217;ll actually have a create a .mcfunction file named `give_diamond.mcfunction` in `<your data pack folder>\/data\/wacky_wheel\/functions`. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;`<br \/>\ngive @s diamond<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that the `onCastFunction` by default will target the player who initially spun the wheel. <\/p>\n<p>To test our new command, enter the \/wheel free_diamond command into chat and receive your free diamond. <\/p>\n<p>### Spell JSON Properties<\/p>\n<p>`name`: The name of the spell.<\/p>\n<p>`titleColor` (Optional) : Color of the name text\/title.<\/p>\n<p>`flavorText` (Optional): Additional information that appears underneath the spell&#8217;s name. <\/p>\n<p>`flavorTextColor` (Optional): Color of the flavor text subtitle. <\/p>\n<p>`itemID`: ID of the item used to represent the spell on the wacky wheel. <\/p>\n<p>`castingTime`: Time in ticks that it takes to cast the spell.<\/p>\n<p>`onCastFunction`: Name of the .mcfunction file that executes to create the spell effect.<\/p>\n<p>`executeOnCastFunctionAtPlayer` (Optional): Set to true to execute onCastFunction AT player instead of AS player. <\/p>\n<p>`duration` (Optional): Time in ticks that the spell lasts.<\/p>\n<p>`onTickFunction` (Optional): Name of the .mcfunction that executes every tick that the spell lasts.<\/p>\n<p>`executeOnTickFunctionAtPlayer` (Optional): Set to true to execute onTickFunction AT player instead of as player.<\/p>\n<p>`onEndFunction` (Optional) : Name of the .mcfunction file that executes when the spell ends. <\/p>\n<p>`executeOnEndFunctionAtPlayer` (Optional): Set to true to execute onEndFunction AT player instead of AS player. <\/p>\n<p>## Credits<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/github.com\/HyperPigeon<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/github.com\/lumiscosity<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/lumiscosity.neocities.org\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mod that adds a carnival prize wheel that has the chance to either fabulously reward or horrifically punish players!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":169775,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"wheel-of-wacky","_minecraft_project_id":"JwRk761J","_minecraft_author":"HyperPigeon","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":8094,"_minecraft_follows":35,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"wheel-of-wacky.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":2437364,"_minecraft_version_count":16,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-17T00:06:31.696760Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2024-06-24T10:35:26.597559Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-04-30T00:02:49.583437Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/wheel-of-wacky","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":169775,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-09T20:29:41+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"3e44b032e2103c41c1f238161d3e8c0e","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[87,43,97,122,158],"mod_loader":[99,160],"minecraft_version":[62,37],"class_list":["post-169774","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-adventure","mod_category-cursed","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-magic","mod_category-neoforge","mod_loader-fabric","mod_loader-neoforge","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
