Lucky Craft — Evolution of Crystals and Luck
Welcome to a world where rare resources require a specialized approach! This mod introduces a new mining system, unique gear with dynamic effects, and fresh ways to interact with your environment.
💎 Core Mechanics and Resources
Mining and Processing
Forget about standard smelting! The journey from raw ore to a finished gem is now more complex and rewarding:
* New Ore: Generates deep underground (Y levels -30 to -40) and is rarer than diamonds.
* Crystal Processing Station: A new workstation required to obtain gems. To operate it, you’ll need a Diamond Hammer and Diamond Dust.
* Tools: The Diamond Hammer has 56 durability points and is essential for both the station and crushing diamonds into dust.
Luck and Drop System
The mod introduces a unique "Fortune" mechanic that depends directly on your gear and status:
* Rare Drop Chance: When using modded tools while sneaking (Shift) or under special effects, you can obtain rare items while mining or woodcutting (must be wearing the mod's armor).
* Luck Effect: A special potion increases your chances of getting high-tier loot (e.g., the chance for an Enchanted Golden Apple rises to 10%).
⚔️ Equipment and Combat
Armor and Weapons
* Unique Stats: A full armor set provides significant protection, while the sword boasts increased damage.
* Dynamic Buffs: If you are wearing the full set and holding the mod's sword, taking damage triggers powerful effects: Strength, Resistance, Fire Resistance, and Absorption. These buffs stay active only as long as the "Luck" state is active.
* Crafting: Creating items requires a Smithing Template, which can be crafted using diamond dust and gems or traded from a villager.
🌿 Alchemy and Trading
* Magical Flowers: Spawn rarely in the world. Use a bowl to harvest berries from them.
* Elixirs: Brewed from berries and special bottles, these elixirs grant Instant Health, Health Boost, and Fire Resistance II.
* New Villager: Offers trades for rare resources, including Smithing Templates at Expert levels. (Requires a Soul Campfire as a workstation).
📜 What’s New in Version 0.5.0-alpha?
* Complete Texture Redesign: Updated ore blocks, items, and icons.
* Furnace Smelting Removed: Gems can now only be obtained via the Processing Station.
* Reworked Advancement Tree: A logical progression path from helmet to tools.
* Improved Recipes: Template crafting costs have been adjusted for better balance.
Installation:
