Shrouded

This mod adds a dimension called Shroud, which can be accessed through the portal structure in an Ancient City. Simply take an echo shard, right-click anywhere within the pre-existing frame, and you will experience a portal being ripped open between the Overworld and Shroud.

Note: Ensure any sculk veins are cleared from within the portal frame, otherwise it will not light.

This mod also adds a dimension called 'Limbo' which is only accessible through commands. Currently, it serves as a testing ground for a proceduraly generated backrooms-esque dungeon. No content is yet tied to it however.

There are a variety of biomes in Shroud. Within them, you will find custom trees, plants, world gen features, and lots and lots of sculk. You will also find Shroud's custom entities; observe them for a while and you may see something creepy. And take care, for they have similar senses to the Warden.

At present, you will find one custom ore in Shroud called 'Eventide'. This can be processed and crafted into weapons, tools and armor which are slightly better than netherite. There are also a variety of blocks, vegetation, items and unique artifacts to find and acquire.

Ritual crafting is fairly straightforward and consists of two parts: the corrupted reliquary in the center which accepts items via right-click, hopper/pipe, or by having them dropped on top, and the binding pedestal(s) placed anywhere within 7 (horizontal) blocks which will trap any living mob lured onto or placed atop them.

Once the necessary mobs and items are in place, take a stone axe (temporary item to be replaced in future updates) and right-click the corrupted reliquary. This will initiate the ritual which will consume the items and drain a set amount of health from the entities trapped upon the pedestals. Afterwards, the resulting item will be dropped near the corrupted reliquary, or placed in a chest if present on any side of (or below) the reliquary.

Rudimentary JEI support is included in the intial release, and will display which items, mobs, and health cost from said mobs are required for the successful completion of the ritual. An in-game guide will come in future updates, as well as custom textures for the reliquary and pedestals.

KubeJS support is included as of version 0.6.0 for ritual crafting recipes. You can see an example of how to structure it in the spoiler below.

See the snippet below for an example of how to create a new ritual crafting recipe via KubeJS server events:

ServerEvents.recipes(event => {
    // Adds a sample ritual recipe
    event.custom({
        type: "shroud:ritual",
        items: [
            { item: "minecraft:nether_star", count: 1 },
            { item: "minecraft:amethyst_shard", count: 4 },
            { item: "minecraft:netherite_block", count: 1 }
        ],
        mobs: [
            { entity: "minecraft:zombie", count: 4 }
        ],
        mob_damage: 3.0,
        duration_seconds: 10,
        output: {
            item: "minecraft:oak_fence",
            count: 1
        }
    })
    .id("kubejs:ritual/test_ritual_1")
})
