Description

✨ About
Ultimine is locked until you earn it. FTB Ultimine Addition is an add-on for FTB Ultimine that turns vein mining into a skill you work towards: clear mining challenges, learn Ultimine shapes one tool at a time, and unlock the full power tier by tier.
- 🔒 Locked by default: no Ultimine until a player has earned it
- 🎯 Challenges to clear: mining goals for the pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe
- 📜 Shapes to learn: each finished tier teaches one Ultimine shape for its tool
- ↩️ Ultimine undo: put a wrongly mined vein back
- ⚙️ Made for modpacks: synced server settings and data-driven challenges
📸 Screenshots are in the Gallery tab.
⛏️ How it works
- Craft a Skills Record. It's a clipboard that holds your Mining Skill Cards and a Pen, and tracks your progress.
- Add Mining Skill Cards. There's one card per tool: pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe. Each card gives you mining challenges for its tool, like "break 48 Iron Ore".
- Mine to clear challenges. Keep the Skills Record with you and break the blocks a challenge asks for. The Pen uses ink as you progress, so keep it filled.
- Tier up. Clearing a tier's challenges moves the card up: Unlearned → Novice → Apprentice → Adept → Mastered.
- Unlock Ultimine. Each finished tier grants a Shape Certificate that teaches one Ultimine shape for that tool. Master all four cards to craft the Miner Certificate, which unlocks every shape for good.
📋 Skills Record
- 🗂️ Holds everything: four Mining Skill Cards, a Pen and an Ink Chamber
- ⌨️ Opens with R, or by using it
- 🎨 16 colored editions: craft it with a dye; each has its own motif, animated background and HUD colors
🎯 Challenges
- 📖 All the details: each challenge's description, the blocks it needs, its progress and when you finished it
- 📌 Pin challenges to follow them on your HUD while you mine
- 🎲 Reroll an unstarted challenge you don't like, once per tier, for a little ink
- 🔥 Streaks and lucky finds add bonus points as you mine
📜 Shape Certificates
- 🏅 One certificate per tier for every card, and you choose which Ultimine shape it teaches
- 🧰 Learned per tool: a pickaxe shape doesn't unlock the axe
- 🔀 Shape Selector: pick the active shape
🧪 Mine-Go Juice
- ⚗️ A potion brewed from your cards that lets you Ultimine with its tool while the effect lasts
- 🎁 A short taste on tier up, so you can try your new power right away
↩️ Ultimine undo
- 👻 Preview first: press Ctrl + Z to see the blocks coming back as see-through ghosts
- 🌱 Press Ctrl + Z again to restore them; they grow back into place one after another
- ⚖️ No duplication: the items and XP they dropped are taken back
- 🕔 The last 5 operations within 5 minutes can be undone, and all of it is configurable
⚙️ Configurable
- 🖥️ In-game config screens:
/ultimine_addition config, or from the mod list / Mod Menu - 🌐 Server settings sync to every player, and changes apply live
- 🧩 Data-driven challenges: modpacks can add or change them with a data pack
🎮 Playstyle modes
Server owners can choose how players unlock Ultimine (general.playstyle_mode):
| Mode | How it works |
|---|---|
| Modern (default) | The full experience: Mining Skill Cards, Shape Certificates and the Skills Record. |
| Legacy | The original rules: unseal a Miner Certificate by mining a set number of ores. |
The mode can be changed while the server runs, and it applies at once.
