✨ Pixiesque
You are winged, and stand a quarter block tall.
Reach, attack range, and walk speed are reduced.
Attack speed is slightly increased.

☀️ Dancing Lights
Create pixie dust near sources of light (more in daylight).
You glow brighter based on how much pixie dust you have.

At zero dust, you turn invisible.

🎩 Blessed by a Fairy
You can ride anything (even players).

💜 Gemstone Conduit
Channel pixie dust through amethyst shards to fly.
Hold in your offhand to float down.
Affects mounts.

☁️ Float, 🪽 Flutter, 💨 Dash

🔥 Paper Frame

💀 Tragic Coincidence
Golden and iron tools are much less effective.

Despite being able to fly, this should be faerly challenging origin.
All abilities have particle effects.
Gemstone Conduit should work while riding players (à la Tinker Bell)
Gemstone Conduit grants 20 seconds of slow-falling to ridden entities, to mitigate any potential damage...
Fluttering is much faster than walking. You can flutter forever in daylight, and float forever near artificial light.
Pixiesque: you are VERY small. Turn off "view bobbing"


v2
I didn't realize how difficult I made this class until I played it on my own server.
You have 3 hearts, and can't wear iron armor.
If you can't find light, you can't fly.
The Nether is dark.
The *End* is (apparently) dark.
Terrifying.

This actually, surprisingly, created a fun (once I buffed the health) game loop of
"search frantically for any light source as zombies chase you" and
"hope you remembered to pick up your only torch before dropping into the ancient city"

Glow litchen was my ally in many caves.
Lava became a lifesaver for night travel in the overworld...which, half the time, guess what? Is dark...
You don't realize how dark Minecraft is until you depend on the light for all of your survivability.

Wanting to preserve this "seek the light" gameloop but make the origin...fun...I've buffed and reworked several abilities.

You have 7 hearts (so the game is playable without iron armor) and are taller (90% of a block tall)
You have a new ability, Flash, that lets you jump backwards.
The Float ability can be used with no dust, letting you hover in place whenever.
Several other things like air speed modifiers or wearing an elytra lets you use rockets.

To compensate a little, fire damage was increased, and metal tools are completely (rather than obnoxiously) unusable.

This created a very difficult in the early game as you scavenge for a way to get diamond tools/armor.
Late game, the only downsides are fire, swimming, less health...if you lose your armor...late game is still difficult.
But at least it's fun. And you don't die to everything. And can fly. Sometimes. If you have some lava.

Also, people could see your legs while riding on their heads. Now they can't, you are invisible.
And can still give people 20 seconds of slow falling.
Should be fun.
