CAUTION: Version 0.5.0 and above are not backwards compatible and need BluBasics as a core Library
The main focus of this mod is a custom Power system in wich players can find the favor of old gods and use their powers. The main point was to give each player a unique power. So each player can only gain the favor of one god and each god can give its favor only to one player.
This mod was made specifically for a server i wanted to play on with friends, so some features may be a bit out of scope and just included for fun/as a reference to freinds.
Content
Main Mechanic
While playing normaly you can sometimes perform actions that make a specific god take notice of you.
- They will offer you their power, give you a small boon and a quest to unlock more of their power.
- When you recieve the power you are bound to that god.
- When you finish their quest your power is awoken.
- When an awoken player kills another awoken player he can gain the ascended status.
- An ascended player that is killed by a player that is atleast awoken, becomes only awoken again.
Bound: being bound gives you a small passive buff related to your god.
Awoken: while being awoken you can use a keybind and a golden idol in your inventory to use an ability related to your god.
Ascended: while being ascended you can use a keybind and a blessed idol in your inventory to use an ascension/ultimate ability.
