Hallmarked

Designed for the Gearwright's Hollow modpack. Fully functional as a standalone installation, with default balancing tailored specifically for the pack.

Every forged thing bears a mark.

Weapons, tools, bows, shields, armor, and Curios baubles roll a Quality (Keen, Rusted, Masterful, Ascended…) and a Grade of Work (Shoddy, Common, Journeyman, Masterwork, Gearwrought) when found or crafted. Higher grades yield additional affixes with superior scaling, producing distinct titles—from a Honed Iron Sword of Haste to a named Ashen Vow.

Core Mechanics

Grades & Affixes: Luck scales the probability of higher-tier rolls. World-discovered equipment naturally outperforms crafted baseline items, though master smiths can achieve a Gearwrought tier. Complementary affix pairs fuse into named compound stats.

The Assay Anvil: Apply crafting materials to strike equipment and re-roll its markers, or appraise mysterious Unappraised finds discovered throughout the world.

The Ashen Altar: Gamble equipment pieces for a chance at ascension, risking corruption with a forbidden affix or permanent marring.

Named Gear Sets

Combat Procs: Dynamic offensive triggers including Bleeding, Staggering, Leeching, Cleaving, of Embers, of Reprisal, and of the Reaper.

For Modpack Developers

The entire framework is data-driven. Qualities, grades, affixes, fusions, sets, inlays, and loot tables are fully customizable via JSON, with item tags governing equipment classification.

Default Export: Execute /hallmarked defaults rebuild world|kubejs to export all default configurations into editable local files.

Scripting Support: Fully integrated with NeoForge events for KubeJS, providing a custom hallmarked:graded recipe ingredient and diagnostic test commands.

Legacy Compatibility: Older Quality Equipment datapacks and saved items convert automatically upon loading.
