Wheel of Adaptation

A Forge mod inspired by Mahoraga from Jujutsu Kaisen.

Craft and awaken a powerful adaptation wheel that gradually learns to resist different types of damage and harmful effects. The wheel appears above the player’s head as a visible 3D model and reacts to every new adaptation.

Features

• Progressive adaptation to different damage types.
• Support for custom damage types from other mods.
• Automatic detection and naming of modded damage.
• Adaptation to harmful potion effects, including modded effects.
• Support for effects applied with /effect.
• 12 adaptation tiers for each damage and effect type.
• Persistent adaptation data.
• Multiplayer synchronization.
• Configurable progression and resistance values.
• English and Russian localization.
• Custom sounds, particles, animations, and advancements.

Damage Types

The mod supports:

• Melee damage
• Magic damage
• Explosion damage
• Projectile damage
• Fire damage
• Fall damage
• Lightning damage
• Drowning
• Freezing
• Suffocation
• Poison-related damage
• Wither damage
• Thorns and cactus damage
• Sonic boom damage
• Custom damage types from other mods

Each damage type receives its own adaptation profile, progress, tier, resistance value, and display color.

Harmful Effect Adaptation

The wheel can adapt to negative effects such as:

• Weakness
• Poison
• Slowness
• Wither
• Blindness
• Modded harmful effects

Adaptation weakens harmful effects by reducing their amplifier or duration where supported. The regular wheel does not instantly remove effects.
