Kitaegatana

A katana that learns from the damage it guards against.

Kitaegatana adds a unique katana that learns from incoming damage and converts that knowledge into additional damage against enemies.

・Learn from combat: Guard against enemy attacks to record their damage types and values.

・Unleash bonus damage: Deal additional damage based on what your katana has learned.

・Perfect your timing: Guard for a brief moment to block incoming damage, rewarding precise timing.

・Adapt to your enemies: Designed to respond flexibly to different enemy strengths, making the katana useful in a wide range of environments, from vanilla Minecraft to heavily modded modpacks.

・Customizable damage scaling: Adjust the bonus damage multiplier through the mod's configuration.

Master the art of parrying, learn from your enemies, and turn their own power against them.

Name Origin

Kitaegatana derives from the Japanese word 鍛える (kitaeru, "to forge" or "to temper") and 刀 (katana, "sword"), expressing the concept of Sword Forging.

Compatibility Note

When using Apotheosis and L2 Artifacts, certain player builds may cause damage values to scale dramatically. This is a potential balance consideration when combining these mods, especially in heavily customized modpacks.

Test Item Generation

The following commands can be used to obtain a test Kitae with predefined damage values for various damage types.

These values are intended to help test the damage learning and damage bonus mechanics.

Instructions

1. Place a temporary chest

Place a chest at the world origin (0 0 0) to use as an intermediate storage container.

/setblock 0 0 0 minecraft:chest

2. Obtain the test Kitae

/give @p kitae:kitae{LearnedDamage:{"minecraft:mob_attack":30.0f,"minecraft:mob_attack_no_aggro":2.0f,"minecraft:arrow":5.0f,"minecraft:mob_projectile":4.0f,"minecraft:trident":8.0f}} 1

Hold the obtained Kitae in your main hand.

3. Add damage data (Part 1)

Copy the Kitae into the chest:

/item replace block 0 0 0 container.0 from entity @p weapon.mainhand

Merge the following damage data:

/data modify block 0 0 0 Items[0].tag.LearnedDamage merge value {"minecraft:fireball":9.0f,"minecraft:explosion":85.0f,"minecraft:sonic_boom":10.0f,"minecraft:wither_skull":8.0f}

Return the modified Kitae to your main hand:

/item replace entity @p weapon.mainhand from block 0 0 0 container.0

4. Add damage data (Part 2)

Copy the Kitae into the chest again:

/item replace block 0 0 0 container.0 from entity @p weapon.mainhand

Merge the remaining damage data:

/data modify block 0 0 0 Items[0].tag.LearnedDamage merge value {"minecraft:sting":2.0f,"minecraft:magic":6.0f,"minecraft:indirect_magic":6.0f,"minecraft:dragon_breath":6.0f}

Return the Kitae to your main hand:

/item replace entity @p weapon.mainhand from block 0 0 0 container.0

The test Kitae is now ready.

Notes

・Execute the commands in the order shown above.

・The chest's first inventory slot (container.0) is used as temporary storage.

・Keep the Kitae in your main hand while performing the steps.

・If a block already exists at 0 0 0, it will be replaced when placing the chest.

Note: The listed damage values are approximate maximum values based on vanilla Minecraft gameplay. Actual damage may vary depending on difficulty, armor, entity properties, and other in-game conditions.
