Len Souls

An Exposure camera mod addon that adds an elemental damage system, boss phantom spectacles, and a Soul Photography ability system.

📖 Overview

Len Souls is a feature expansion for the Exposure camera mod. It introduces a complete elemental damage system, boss phantom spectacles, and Soul Photography abilities driven by in-game photography and soul items.

✨ Features

🔥 Elemental Damage

Four elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Ender — each with configurable damage multipliers and entity weakness values
Customizable via data packs (data/lensouls/entity_weakness/) — reload with /reload
Multiple elements stack additively for bonus damage

Entity Weakness (data/lensouls/entity_weakness/<namespace>.json):

{
  "minecraft:zombie": {
    "fire": 1.5,
    "water": 0.5,
    "earth": 1.0,
    "projectile": 1.0
  },
  "minecraft:blaze": {
    "fire": 0.0,
    "water": 3.0
  }
}

Values: > 1 = weak (takes bonus damage), < 1 = resistant, 0 = immune. projectile is a general weakness for projectile damage. Unconfigured entities default to 0.1x.

Item Activity (data/lensouls/item_element_activity/<item_id>.json):

{
  "values": {
    "lensouls:fire": 2,
    "lensouls:water": 1
  }
}

Levels 1-5 map to activity multipliers 1.2 / 1.5 / 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0.
