"Centuries ago in Japan, Nighlok monsters invaded our world, but samurai warriors defeated them with power symbols passed down from parent to child. Today, the evil Nighlok have risen once again and plan to flood the earth. Luckily, a new generation of heroes stand in their way. They are the Power Rangers Samurai."

The Power Rangers Samurai are now slashing their way into Minecraft! With this new addonpack powered by Palladium, you can now morph and fight as the world-renowned samurai rangers.

Required Dependencies:

The following mods are required for this mod to work:

Palladium
Gravestone Core
Rhino
KubeJS
GeckoLib
Pehkui
Architectury API
XL Packets
Curios (Forge)
Trinkets (Fabric)

Obtainment:

An essential element is needed in order to craft your samuraizer: Morph X. It's a powerful energy source that connects all rangers to the morphing grid.

As of right now, there are two methods of obtaining it:

#1: Crafting Recipe (Recommended) - The crafting recipe for Morph X can be seen in the media tab for this mod!

#2: Witches and Illagers - A few Witches and Illagers have recently stumbled across an odd substance, and plan to study it to better understand its true power. Anytime you defeat either of the two mob groups, there will be a small chance of them dropping Morph X!

Powers:

To transform into a samurai ranger, take your designated samuraizer and put it in your curios hands slot (or offhand slot). A menu will the pop up that will let you transform at the press of a button (literally). As a samurai ranger, you have access to several different abilities:

Physical Buffs: You can run faster, jump higher, have more resistance against attacks, and heal naturally

New Weapons: You gain access to your Spin Sword, a quick weapon with decent damage to boot, along with your ranger's special disk. Use this disk to unlock special abilities!

Elemental Charge: By pressing the designated key while you have your special disk equipped, you will enter a boosted state for about ten seconds. In this state, your Spin Sword will be charged and can do more damage. But be careful! Your symbol power is measured by a bar on the right side of your screen. It regenerates naturally when symbol power is not in use, but if you use all of it up at once, you'll become weakened for a few moments from the overuse of symbol power.

Special Weapon: While using your Elemental Charge, you can switch between your charged sword and your ranger's special weapon on the fly

Energy Blast: While using your Elemental Charge, if you left-click while crouching with your charged sword in hand, you will unleash a strong energy blast to devastate your enemies. However, doing so will deplete a good chunk of your symbol power, so use this wisely!

Special Attack: A move that is unique to each of the rangers. This can be activated when the ranger is either using their special weapon or charged sword.

Ranger-Specific Abilities:

Though each ranger has the same base gameplay, their special abilities can completely change the way you approach challenges in the Minecraft world. Experiment with all of them to find out which suits your playstyle.

Jayden: Samurai Red

Playstyle: Glass Cannon

Jayden has some of the strongest attacks out of all the rangers, but at the cost of his stronger moves leaving him vulnerable for extended periods of time. You'll have to play smart with your movements to maximize his potential

Weapon: Fire Smasher

When this thing hits, it hits HARD! Don't be surprised to see the poor animals going down in one hit from this hefty weapon. However, it has a very slow attack speed, and having it in your hand will slow you down considerably. Good thing the reach on this weapon is INSANE, right?

Special Attack: Cannon Blast Mode

Lock your Fire Smasher into cannon blast mode to unleash a final strike that is sure to destroy your enemies. Don't get too hasty, though. This attack takes a while to charge up, and you can't move or jump while it's charging. Once it's finally done, you'll be stuck with debuffs and locked out of your Elemental Charge for a full minute afterwards! Try to use it like an actual final move like they do in the show, alright?

Mia: Samurai Pink

Playstyle: Zoner

All of Mia's special attacks are either projectiles or AOEs, and they all knock enemies back a fair bit, so you can naturally gain a lot of leverage and control of the space while playing with her. Do be warned that enemies who aren't normally affected by knockback behave no differently with Mia's moves, and so she may struggle with beefier opponents.

Weapon: Sky Fan

Right-click to shoot out a small blast of air that does decent damage and knocks the opponent back. Perfect for keep away shenanigans or to give you some space to retreat.

Special Attack: Wave of Air

Launch an AOE attack that hits all enemies in the vicinity while pushing them back. As Mia says, "Buzz Off!"

Mike: Samurai Green

Playstyle: Rushdown

Hit 'em hard and hit 'em fast! If you agree with that philosophy, you and Mike will probably be very good friends! His special moves are great for getting up close and personal with enemies while dealing some quick and easy damage, though he lacks any ranged attacks besides his energy blast move to counterbalance this.

Weapon: Forest Spear

A weapon with serviceable damage, longer range than you regular sword, and very fast attack speed for near instant repeated hits. You also get a nice speed boost whenever you're holding this in your hand. What's not to like?

Special Attack: Power Thrust

After a short wind-up, you charge yourself at enemies. This is most useful for if you want to cover a lot of ground or attack multiple enemies at once.

Kevin: Samurai Blue

Playstyle: Support

As the only character with an actual support move, Kevin can fill in a very useful nice both in solo and multiplayer play, and is a great ranger for taking care of tanky or incredibly hard hitting enemies. However, his other special moves are fairly weak projectiles that leave him with below average offensive capabilities outside of the base moveset that all the rangers share.

Weapon: Hydro Bow

Right-click to shoot an arrow of pure energy at your opponents for low damage.

Special Attack: Swordfish Disk

Use the healing properties of the Swordfish Disk to clear any negative status effects (except Wither) and grant a some positive buffs like healing, resistance, and more! This ability also affects nearby players, making it an exceptional move for supporting groups.

Emily: Samurai Yellow

Playstyle: Jack of All Trades

This may be ironic, considering her placement on this list, but Emily is probably the ranger I would recommend most to anyone playing the mod for the first time. She has a pretty diverse moveset that gives her lots of flexibility in combat and makes her arguably the easiest to learn (she's also my favorite ranger in both the show and the mod, tehee). At the same time though, there's isn't really anything Emily does that other rangers don't do better. She's the "master of none" as they say.

Weapon: Earth Slicer

Right-click to throw your Earth Slicer for some good damage.

Special Attack: Primate Cyclone

Press the designated key with your charged sword in hand to blaze through the terrain and damage anyone in your path. Not only does good damage, but gives you some good movement options as well!
