Coming Darkness

Survival data pack with my ideas to rebalance gameplay. It makes game passing a bit harder and longer.

Added

  • Moraltiy system (AKA sanity or harmony)

Morality

"Anti-cheat" against gamma & fast game passing on servers. It applies debuffs when drops under 50% (less morality -> harder debuffs), but it can be restored if player at light place or carry light emitting item.

  • Shows up when any pickaxe in hands
  • Has few factors that affects it
  • Much harder in the nether
  • Night vision effect, cakes and honey can help to avoid loosing morality too fast
  • Cookies and pumpkin pies restores some morality instantly when eaten

Vanilla mechanics changed

  • Stonecutter deals damage
  • Magma block deals damage when touching it from any side (and also sneaking can't prevent damage now)
  • Every ore block now drops cobblestone, cobbled deepslate or netherrack along with material
  • Iron and gold ores greatly nerfed

Iron/gold ore nerf

I noticed that I can mine enough iron for full iron kit too fast and easy, so now raw iron and raw gold smelts into iron/gold nugget. For balance this ores now dropping extra raw iron/gold.
