THE ETHEREAL BLASTERS

8 Unique Weapons. 4 Weapon Classes. 3 Upgrade Tiers. 24 Blasters.

At the heart of ETHERION lies its signature arsenal: eight unique blaster weapons, each with its own appearance, firing characteristics, sounds, and special abilities.

Unlike traditional Minecraft ranged weapons, ETHERION's blasters utilize a hitscan-based firing system, allowing their energy blasts to strike targets through instantaneous raycasting rather than conventional traveling projectile entities.

Every blaster belongs to one of four specialized weapon classes:

• Snipes: Precision, range, and controlled firepower.
• Shotblasters: Spread-based weapons designed for crowd control.
• Stolis: Lightweight, rapid-firing weapons for aggressive combat.
• Heavies: Devastating weapons that exchange firing speed for extraordinary damage.

Every weapon is available in Etherion, Arcanite, and Ultrinium grades, allowing players to upgrade their favorite blasters as they advance through the mod.

The following weapon statistics describe their base Etherion-grade versions.

SNIPES — Precision and Power

Snipes are the balanced marksman weapons of ETHERION, offering excellent range, respectable damage, and moderate reload speeds.

THUNDERSTRIKE — The Wrath of the Storm

 

Base Damage: 13
Reload Time: 24 ticks
Element: Copper / Lightning

Forged around the conductive properties of copper, Thunderstrike is an electrifying weapon capable of turning precision shooting into an elemental assault.

Its signature ability rewards consecutive successful attacks. After five successful hits, Thunderstrike summons a powerful lightning bolt upon its unfortunate target.

Whether you're hunting dangerous enemies from afar or looking to bring the fury of a thunderstorm onto the battlefield, Thunderstrike provides a shocking combination of accuracy and elemental destruction.

THE VINDICATOR — Vengeance Never Fades

 

Base Damage: 12.5

Defeated enemies also have a chance to drop an additional Emerald.

The Vindicator is an excellent choice for players who prefer sustained precision attacks with useful secondary effects.

SHOTBLASTERS — Crystalline Crowd Control

Shotblasters are ETHERION's futuristic interpretation of traditional shotguns.

Rather than firing a single concentrated blast, these weapons release a spread of up to nine hitscan pellets, making them especially effective against groups of enemies or large targets.

Their unique crystalline effects also provide additional battlefield control.

SONOROUS SHOTBLASTER — The Sound of Shattering Quartz

 

Base Damage: 10
Reload Time: 18 ticks
Element: Quartz

The Sonorous Shotblaster channels the properties of quartz into a devastating close-range weapon.

Its special ability can trap enemies within a temporary Quartz Crystal Cluster, immobilizing them before the formation violently shatters.

The resulting explosion inflicts additional damage and applies the unique Stentorian Thorns effect.

This weapon excels at disrupting groups of enemies and creating opportunities to escape dangerous close-quarters encounters.

RESONANT SHOTBLASTER — The Amethyst Menace

 

Base Damage: 11.5
Reload Time: 16 ticks
Element: Amethyst

The Resonant Shotblaster is the more aggressive counterpart to the Sonorous Shotblaster.

Harnessing the resonating properties of amethyst, it delivers stronger attacks with a faster reload time.

Its special ability traps enemies inside an Amethyst Crystal Formation, which eventually explodes and inflicts the unique Resonant Thorns effect.

With its improved damage, rapid firing, and crowd-control capabilities, the Resonant Shotblaster is a formidable weapon for close-to-medium-range engagements.

STOLIS — Small Weapons, Serious Trouble

Stolis are lightweight, single-handed blasters specializing in rapid attacks.

Although their individual shots deal less damage than larger weapons, their extremely short reload times make them exceptionally dangerous during close combat.

PIGLIN DEADSHOT — The Forgotten Gilded Weapon

 

Base Damage: 6.5
Reload Time: 4 ticks
Element: Gold

According to ETHERION's lore, the Piglin Deadshot was once wielded by the earliest and most powerful Piglin warriors.

Now lost to history, its technology can be rediscovered and wielded once again.

Its signature ability inflicts the Midas Curse, surrounding enemies with a golden glow and temporarily preventing their movement.

Defeated enemies may also drop an additional Gold Ingot.

With its extraordinarily fast firing speed, the Piglin Deadshot is perfect for aggressive players who want to overwhelm enemies while controlling their movement.

GOLEM'S FIST — The Guardian's Lost Strength

 

Base Damage: 7
Reload Time: 8 ticks
Element: Iron

Long ago, the earliest Villager Guards wielded the Golem's Fist to protect their settlements from hostile invaders.

According to legend, an ancient curse eventually robbed these guardians of their ability to wield such weapons, leaving their technology forgotten.

The Golem's Fist combines offensive pressure with combat-enhancing effects.

Successful attacks can inflict Weakness upon enemies while granting the wielder Strength.

Defeated enemies also have a chance to drop an additional Iron Ingot.

This makes the Golem's Fist particularly useful for players who frequently alternate between melee attacks and ranged combat.

HEAVIES — Uncompromising Destruction

Heavy Blasters are the most powerful weapons in ETHERION's arsenal.

Their enormous damage output comes at the cost of substantially longer reload times, rewarding players who carefully time their attacks.

DMND-246 — A Diamond-Fueled Catastrophe

Creating and Processing Ethereal Materials

The journey toward these powerful alloys begins with exploration and resource collection.

Discover Ethereal Debris, mine the mysterious Corestone, and gather the resources necessary to begin advanced alloy production.

The Elemental Infuser serves as the central workstation for creating important materials, including Ethereal alloy ingots and Arcan.

Once the appropriate alloy has been created, its ingots can be converted into Metal Sheets, an essential component of advanced equipment crafting.

The progression is designed around upgrading existing equipment rather than constantly discarding and replacing it.

Netherite → Etherion → Arcanite → Ultrinium

For example, tools can be upgraded through the Smithing Table using their corresponding upgrade templates and alloy ingots.

Each new tier opens access to more powerful equipment, more advanced upgrades, and additional crafting possibilities.

ETHEREAL ARMOR — CHOOSE YOUR COMBAT STYLE

4 Specializations. 3 Material Tiers. 12 Unique Armor Builds.

ETHERION introduces an extensive armor system designed to give players meaningful choices beyond simply selecting the equipment with the highest defense.

Each material tier features four specialized armor subsets:

Marksman, Bastion, Vanguard, and Recon.

Every specialization has its own unique helmet and set bonuses, while the chestplate, leggings, and boots complete the corresponding material-tier armor set.

To activate a specialization's full-set abilities, players must wear the appropriate specialized helmet alongside the matching chestplate, leggings, and boots.

As players advance from Etherion to Arcanite and finally Ultrinium, their chosen specialization becomes increasingly powerful.

MARKSMAN — The Long-Distance Specialist

Role: Ranged Combat • Precision • Blaster Efficiency

Marksman Armor is designed for players who prefer to eliminate enemies before they can close the distance.
