SS-22 · Hyperion

Fabric 1.21.11

A skill that drops a small sun on your crosshair.

What this is

Adds one skill, SS-22 · Hyperion, to the skill remote the base mod provides.

The sky goes first — not dimmed, replaced: an ember night rolls in, the clouds are pressed flat, and a small sun tears loose 620 blocks out at a 34° angle. It crosses the sky for the better part of fifteen seconds, accelerating, going near-vertical for the last few. Prominence shards keep peeling off it on the way down, each dragging its own trail into a small impact of its own.

Then it lands. The ground melts into a bowl of glass, magma and scorched rock; thirteen fissures open outward from the rim, forty segments of molten spray ride the shock front, twenty-two rocks are thrown along ballistic arcs, and a beam of light stands up out of the crater floor. Everything inside the bowl is erased; everything at its rim burns where it stands.

What you get

• The skill: an 80-block crater at power 1.0, power slider 0.1×–10× (the remote warns above 3×, where it starts eating builds), 36 second cooldown
• A directed cutscene: six takes over roughly 19.5 seconds, from a high establishing shot to a pull-back over the crater; J skips it
• Title geometry standing in the sky: the name is built from stroke quads in world space — near face, far face, correct perspective as the camera moves — on screen for about 3.5 seconds
• Impact frames: eight ticks of posterised stills at the moment of impact (mono, inverted, cyan/blue, magenta/black, ember/black), plus a two-tick freeze
• Screen work: contrast, film grain, highlight retention, chromatic aberration, zoom blur, flash and vignette, all on their own time curves
• Sound: ten cues, from the remote's button click to the ember hum left in the crater

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.11
• Fabric Loader 0.17.0 or newer
• Fabric API
• The base mod, and the shared library it runs on

All required projects are listed under Dependencies at the bottom of this page. This addon will not load without them. If the library ever changes internally in a way this addon cannot follow, the skill disables itself and writes one line to the log instead of crashing the game.

Compatibility

• Other addons on the same remote can be installed alongside; the skill list stays in sync and every skill keeps its own key
• When every available skill is cast at the same moment, the camera goes to whichever cutscene starts first, and this addon's sun, tails and crater still appear inside it
• During a cutscene played by another mod, this addon stands down: no camera, no sky replacement, no screen composite, no HUD
• With a shader pack on, the effects go through baked glow textures instead of direct rendering

Known limitations

• Sky replacement rides on vanilla sky rendering, so it is not guaranteed to be seamless with every shader pack
• Only one cutscene can play at a time; in a multi-skill cast this addon's camera will most likely not be the one shown (its effects still are)
• Skill registration uses the shared library's internal structures, so a major library update may need a matching update here

Installing

1. Install Fabric Loader 0.17+ and Fabric API
2. Install the required projects listed under Dependencies
3. Put this jar into mods/
4. Launch, open the skill remote — SS-22 · Hyperion is in the skill list

Thanks to the authors of the base mod and its shared library, whose skill, remote, cutscene and shader systems this addon builds on.

If something misbehaves, attach logs/latest.log; the lines starting with [SS-22] say how far the effect got.
