It currently powers *Amethyst Imbuement* and other upcoming mods in that family. While being magically themed, this library has a lot of other functionality too!<\/p>\n<p>See the **wiki** for more details, as well as the KDoc within the source.<\/p>\n<p>![Bisect Hosting Banner](https:\/\/bisecthosting.com\/fzzyhmstrs)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;display:table\"> <span> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:inline;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/iXATO6K.png\" width=\"265\" height=\"122\"> <\/span> <span> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:inline;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/U7qHdp4.png\" width=\"288\" height=\"108\"> <\/span> <span> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:inline;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/cf27a9e31c423f6b3d0d02a644a395f05508f678.png\" width=\"288\" height=\"108\"> <\/span> <\/span> <\/p>\n<p>There is a lot you can do with Amethyst Core, including but not limited to:<br \/>\n* Implementing your own Modifier System; a parallel alternative to _Minecraft&#8217;s_ Enchantment system<br \/>\n* Creating extensions for _Amethyst Imbuement_<br \/>\n* Creating distinct magic mods that have compatibility with _Amethyst Imbuement_<br \/>\n* Implementing a consistent and auto-syncing configuration system<br \/>\n* Building a magical wand with any number of abilities<br \/>\n* Building modular _Trinkets_<br \/>\n* Easily registering custom item models a la the Trident<br \/>\n* Registering to a ticking Event Registry<br \/>\n* Building and registering additions to loot tables easily<br \/>\n* Spawn particles that track the player and visually appear where desired on the player&#8217;s screen<br \/>\n* Register persistent effects that you want to trigger over time without needing to track the effect within custom ticking code<\/p>\n<p>And much more!<\/p>\n<p>## Modifiers<br \/>\nThe Modifier Framework is a flexible and extensible system designed as a parallel to the vanilla Enchanting system. Modifiers aim to solve two of the biggest problems I found with Enchanting: They are easily removable, and they do not internalize their functionality (besides a couple damage methods). Enchantments are also more boring than they could be, displaying their tier with a simple number. Modifiers aim to fix all of those issues!<br \/>\n* Modifiers are designed to be permanent, acting more like affixes. Grindstones can&#8217;t remove them, for example.<br \/>\n* Modifiers internalize their functions, and can be called as one unit rather than piecemeal.<br \/>\n* Modifiers act via a &#8220;family tree&#8221; that allow for flavorful tiers. Think of a sword going from &#8220;Rusty&#8221; to &#8220;Shiny&#8221; to &#8220;Gleaming&#8221; etc. <\/p>\n<p>_The library comes with builtin helper method for displaying modifiers_<br \/>\n![An example tooltip with modifiers shown in gold text](https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/49MU0vx.png)<\/p>\n<p>See the wiki link above for more details on these features. Once implemented, a Modifier system can do just about anything. _Amethyst Cores_ built-in `AugmentModifier` does things from affecting mana cost and cooldown, to changing spell damage or range, to even triggering advanced effects like afflicting every mob in a 12 block radius around the caster with Wither upon any successful spell cast.<\/p>\n<p>Modifers can be as simple as a container for passing vanilla `AttributeModifiers`, or much more complex than the `AugmentModifier` described above. They could even be used purely for flavor, if desired!<\/p>\n<p>## Magic Mod Utilities<br \/>\n_Amethyst Core_ contains everything you need to develop a magic-themed mod in the style of _Amethyst Imbuement_. The library, however, does not include any crafting or progression systems. This is up to you! YOu can either follow along exactly how _Amethyst Imbuement_ does, with imbuing recipes, and tiered augments in scepters, or craft your own unique systems. Blood rituals maybe? Nature-themed magic? Sky&#8217;s the limit.<\/p>\n<p>#### Scepters<br \/>\nA framework for building a wide array of _Amethyst Imbuement_ style Scepters is included, from the most barebone `AbstractScepterItem` you can take almost any direction, to a `DefaultScepterItem` that is almost fully implemented for creating an _Amethyst Imbuement_ compatible Scepter(s) of your own.<\/p>\n<p>#### Augments<br \/>\nBuild enhanced enchantments either for use with Scepters, or for adding to trinkets and equipment. Utilities for advanced functionality like passive ticking effects, effects on equip, etc.<\/p>\n<p>#### Trinkets<br \/>\nUtilities for building _Trinket_ compatible items that can utilize the Augment system. As seen in _Amethyst Imbuement_, this allows for modular trinkets and items that aren&#8217;t limited to predefined benefits.<\/p>\n<p>#### Mana-based Items<br \/>\nInterfaces and utilities for developing an item that uses &#8220;mana&#8221; instead of durability. Items won&#8217;t break at minimum durability, they can be easily &#8220;healed&#8221; and there is a Helper for auto-healing (mana regeneration). Items can also be checked to see if a certain action is possible with the current mana in the item.<\/p>\n<p>## And Much More!<br \/>\nLook through the wiki and source code documentation for all that _Amethyst Core_ has to offer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Library mod that powers the Amethyst Imbuement family of mods;
