No experimental features required. Works on existing worlds.

What's Inside

New Ores & Mining Progression

Five new ore tiers with a clear progression path:

Silver — Tier 1. Common near the surface. Bonus damage vs undead.
Cobalt — Tier 3. Found at mid-depth. Tools gain Momentum (speed increases with use).
Ruby — Tier 3. Deepslate layer. Increased critical hit chance.
Tungsten — Tier 3. Deepslate layer. Immense durability with auto-repair.
Platinum — Tier 4. The rarest. Full armor set grants Strength I.

Each tier has a full set of tools (Pickaxe, Axe, Shovel, Hoe), weapons (Sword, Spear with extended reach), and armor (Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, Boots). Wear a complete set of the same material to unlock a set bonus:

Silver → Regeneration I
Cobalt → Haste I
Ruby → Strength I
Tungsten → Resistance I
Platinum → Strength I

Survival Systems

Temperature (Celsius): Your body temperature fluctuates based on time of day, altitude, weather, and nearby blocks.

35-60°C — Thirst drains faster, Mining Fatigue, Nausea & Heatstroke damage
15-30°C — Safe zone
-30 to 10°C — Slowness, Mining Fatigue, Hypothermia damage

Cool down: stand near water/ice, remove armor, drink potions. Warm up: stand near fire/lava/campfires, hold a torch, wear armor.

Thirst: Your thirst bar drains over time and faster when sprinting, jumping, or in hot weather. Drink Water Bottles (+6), Milk Buckets (+8), or Potions (+4) to stay hydrated. Swimming in water or standing in rain also helps.
