"Control the Elements - Massive Elemental Abilities & Skills mod"

PLEASE READ: This mod is staying in 1.12, if you wish to pick it up and update it please do so. Sorry :/

Mod Showcase:

Introduction:
Inspired by other ability based games, ES is a highly configurable scalable skills mod with 18 Attributes and 66 Abilities for complementary use in Team based PVP and PVE; it offers the possibility of mixing, matching and specializing on different areas.

If you understand the borders and icons in City of Heroes, you will understand them in ES. There is also endurance, similar to mana in other games, which will keep you from being able to spam too many abilities. However, unlike alternative power mods, abilities are not a main source of damage or combat. It is still highly recommended to use a sword or bow with them since their cooldowns are fairly large. If you build into cooldown reduction and endurance however, that may be a different story. It's your build, your playstyle.

Play Your Way: Highly Configurable

* Necessary to balance your game.

Ender Skills is balanced for Modpack usage. However, the config of Ender Skills is as user friendly as can be. The global.cfg will allow you to quickly adjust the negative/positive effects of each power. Same thing with power costs and ore generation. If you want to use this in Vanilla, then tone down the global config and have at it! If you introduced Scaling Health to your modpack, then try scaling it up a bit!

How to Use: Recipes

You first need to create an Altar to even have access to Ender Skills. So first off, make sure you craft or find an ender pearl and get a book. You'll be able to craft an altar with those, some iron, and wood. This will give you access to get your first power if you have enough experience. Powers will cost vanilla XP which can be stored in the altar. XP can be taken out, but at a 20% loss. Each power will require you to be one Ender Level (EL) higher.

Ender Pearl Recipe

Altar Recipe

You can have one element from each class. This is when you'll need diamonds to start expanding. Craft the Ender Token and right-click with it in your hand. This will break the crystal causing you to gain Ender Levels. For your first level up, all you need is one. This is how you'll be able to add more powers to your skill tray. You'll need more and more as you level up.

Ender Token Recipe

To get the next tier of powers, you'll have to create a Crystal Block. This when placed in a 5x5 area around the altar will upgrade it. You'll need two Crystal Blocks to upgrade the altar to level two. When choosing a tier two power, you'll have to pick between one or the other. After completing the entire skill tree, you can then go back and claim the remaining two you missed. It'll take 32 Crystal Blocks to achieve full power.

Crystal Block Recipe

Once you get the altar to full power you'll need to craft the Ender Matrix. This is crafted with two diamonds and redstone. Make sure you protected it with some obsidian~! This will change the altar into an Ultimate Altar which you can bring anywhere. You don't need to have it in a crystal room anymore! (and it's safe, I promise. Sorry.)

                  - This will move the ability enderskills:heart_boost before enderskills:charm (automatic weighting) in the Group-Example list

Configuration:

In ES every calculation is done via a series of mathematical functions using a math parser library, where 'x' is the current level (or next level for the advancement section) and 'y' is the maximum level, multiple lines can be used to specify a level or a range of levels, this allows customization like never seen before.
