Be sure to look at the [[Style guidelines|style guidelines]] first
Weapon Dimensions
The workable area for staves is a 12x12x35 area. This is the maximum size the weapon can be. The staff can be smaller to a minimum of 16 voxels from attachment point to tip.
The handle of a staff must have a minimum of 8 voxels behind the attachment point to balance out the design but may not exceed 14.
Your weapon must be lying face down pointing down the Z axis.
Handle size and attachment
Make sure you use only one attach point (255, 0 ,255 pink voxel) on the handle where you would like the character to hold your weapon. The handle portion where the player will hold the weapon may only be 1 voxel thick for a 3 voxel length and should be around the middle of the staff.
