Unicorn Wand

v1.1.1Minecraft 1.20.1 up to (not incl.) 1.21Forge 47 or newerclient + server

A wand made of sticks that turns horses into sparkling unicorns – and back again if you like.

Overview

With the Unicorn Wand you turn a perfectly ordinary horse into a unicorn: right-click the horse, a brief glitter, an amethyst chime – and it wears a shimmering horn with a golden spiral. Adult unicorns give off rainbow sparkles all the time, even more while moving.

The horse stays the same horse: coat colour, saddle, armor, owner and stats don't change. The unicorn state is saved with the horse and shown to all players nearby.

Transform

Right-clicking a horse with the wand turns it into a unicorn – with glitter, heart and sound effects and the message “✨ A unicorn! ✨”.

Turn back

Sneak + right-click turns the unicorn back into a horse (the server can switch this off).

Horn & sparkles

The horn sits on the forehead and tilts with the head. Rainbow sparkles appear around the horn, up to 48 blocks away.

Nothing gets lost

Saddle, armor, taming, owner, speed and jump strength stay unchanged – the unicorn is a marked horse.
