Occultism Relics Bridge by Karl Karlmann

Bridges "Relics" and "Occultism" to overhaul item acquisition. Normal relic drops are replaced by parts. Craft unawakened Zodiac artifacts and perform demonic rituals to bind spirits into them. The summoned demon's tier determines your stats.

Description

The Problem

In Relics, finding an ultra-powerful mystical item in a random chest can feel a bit anticlimactic. Furthermore, rerolling their stats is a tedious RNG slot machine—you just click a button until you get good numbers. This mod bridges "Relics" and "Occultism" to completely overhaul this system, turning the acquisition and upgrading of relics into a dark, immersive, and ritualistic experience.

THE SOLUTION: EVEN MORE RNG!

Core Features

  • Scattered Pieces: Normal Relics no longer drop as plain loot in the world. Instead, the loot table will seamlessly replace them with "Relic Parts".

  • Zodiac Artifacts: You use these parts to craft one of 12 Unawakened Artifacts, based on the Zodiac signs. Every existing Relic in the game is deterministically tied to one of these signs.

  • Demonic Awakening: Unawakened Artifacts are just empty shells. To use them, you must perform an Occultism Ritual to bind a spirit into the artifact, transforming it into its true Relic form.

  • Tiered Power (Controlled RNG): The standard endless Relics reroll mechanic is completely disabled. Instead, your Relic's stat ranges depend entirely on the tier of the demon you used for the awakening ritual. While there is still some randomness, it is strictly bound by the demon's power: A low-tier Foliot will roll stats in the lower 40% bracket, while a high-tier Marid guarantees rolls between 80% and 100% of the artifact's absolute maximum potential.

  • Immersive UI (The Good Kind of Fluff): Awakened relics remember the specific demon possessing them. When you open the Relics description screen, you will be greeted by a custom portrait of your demon. While it won't hold a full conversation with you, it will mutter and ramble random flavor phrases based on a personality seeded by its randomly generated Occultism name.

Technical Details & Modpack Integration

  • No Bloat: This mod does exactly what it says. It integrates two specific mods tightly together without adding unnecessary new mechanics (aside from some cool UI fluff!).

  • Datapack Ready: The assignment of Relics to Zodiac signs is completely configurable via vanilla tags (e.g., occultism_relics_bridge:zodiac/aries). Modpack creators can perfectly tailor which Relic belongs to which sign.



    Update 1.0.2r added Configfile for relic grouping:

    Generates entries for all registered items with the relics class.
    Added small networkscript to sync serverconfig to the players.

    Should look like this:
    # Occultism Relics Bridge - Zodiac Configuration
    # ==============================================
    # Here you can manually define which relic belongs to which zodiac sign.
    # Allowed zodiac signs: ARIES, TAURUS, GEMINI, CANCER, LEO, VIRGO, LIBRA, SCORPIO, SAGITTARIUS, CAPRICORN, AQUARIUS, PISCES
    # To completely remove a relic from the ritual pool, write: BANNED
    #
    # Example:
    # relics:rage_glove = ARIES
    # relics:ice_skates = BANNED


    # --- AUTO-DISCOVERED RELICS ---
    # These relics were automatically assigned to a zodiac sign.
    # Remove the '#' at the beginning of the line to change the assignment, or set it to BANNED.
