# Item Coating<\/p>\n
A mod that allows applying potion effects to weapons, tools, and armor. Effects trigger on attack, block break, or when taking damage.<\/p>\n
## Key Features<\/p>\n
– **Apply Coatings**: Craft item + potion OR grab potion and right-click item in inventory
\n– **Remove Coatings**: Grab milk bucket and right-click item to remove all coatings
\n– **Three Item Types**: Weapons (apply on attack), Tools (apply on block break with Inversion), Armor (apply when taking damage)
\n– **Two Effect Types**: Time-based (expire by timer) or Hit-based (expire after N hits for instant effects \u22641s)
\n– **Extend Effects**: Reapply same effect to extend (time-based: full\/1\/4 duration, hit-based: +1 hit)
\n– **Loot Coatings**: 8% chance for items in loot chests to spawn with coatings (1% chance for Coating Curse instead)
\n– **Better Combat Support**: Works with dual wield and offhand attacks<\/p>\n
## Enchantments<\/p>\n
| Enchantment | Max Level | Effect |
\n|————-|———–|——–|
\n| **Coating Capacity** | III | +1 coating slot per level (base 1, max 4) |
\n| **Coating Preservation** | V | Extends duration: +5s + 20% \u00d7 2 \u00d7 level (time) or +1 + 2 \u00d7 level hits |
\n| **Coating Potency** | III | +1 effect level per enchantment level |
\n| **Coating Curse** | I | Prevents applying coatings (curse) |
\n| **Curse of Inversion** | I | Inverts effect application (extremely rare treasure) |
\n| **Curse of Permanence** | I | Makes coatings infinite and unremovable (extremely rare treasure) |<\/p>\n
## Item Types<\/p>\n
### Weapons
\n– **Trigger**: On attack
\n– **Target**: Enemy receives effect
\n– **With Inversion**: Wielder receives effect<\/p>\n
### Tools
\n– **Trigger**: On block break (requires Inversion curse)
\n– **Target**: Player receives effect (only with Inversion)
\n– **Without Inversion**: No effect (blocks can’t receive effects)
\n– **Note**: Axes are treated as weapons, not tools<\/p>\n
### Armor
\n– **Trigger**: When taking damage
\n– **Target**: Attacker receives effect
\n– **With Inversion**: Wearer receives effect
\n– **Full Set Mode**: Optional config to require all 4 pieces with same effect<\/p>\n
## Curses<\/p>\n
### Curse of Inversion
\n– **Effect**: Inverts who receives the coating effect
\n – Weapons: Effects apply to wielder instead of target
\n – Tools: Effects apply to player when breaking blocks
\n – Armor: Effects apply to wearer instead of attacker
\n– **Rarity**: Extremely rare (1% of normal curse chance)<\/p>\n
### Curse of Permanence
\n– **Effect**: Coatings become infinite and cannot be removed
\n – Coatings never expire (no duration\/hit countdown)
\n – Milk bucket cannot remove coatings
\n – Can still add new coatings if capacity allows
\n– **Rarity**: Extremely rare (1% of normal curse chance)<\/p>\n
## Visual Effects<\/p>\n
– **Particles**: Colored particles around coated items (configurable)
\n– **Tooltip**: Real-time timer\/hit counter, effect icons, Shift for descriptions<\/p>\n
## How It Works<\/p>\n
### Applying Coatings<\/p>\n
1. **Crafting**: Item + potion(s) \u2192 coated item + empty bottles
\n2. **Quick Apply**: Grab potion \u2192 right-click item \u2192 instant coating
\n3. **Works in any inventory**: Player, chest, shulker box, etc.<\/p>\n
### Mechanics<\/p>\n
– **Time-based** (>1s potions): Shows “Poison II (1:23)”, expires by timer
\n– **Hit-based** (\u22641s potions): Shows “Strength II (3 hits)”, expires per use
\n– **On Trigger**:
\n – Weapons: Applies effect for 3s (time) or 1s (hit) on attack
\n – Tools: Applies effect for 1s (time) or 1s (hit) on block break (with Inversion)
\n – Armor: Applies effect for 3s (time) or 1s (hit) when taking damage
\n– **Extension**:
\n – Time-based: Same level = full duration, different level = 1\/4 duration
\n – Hit-based: +1 hit per potion (regardless of level)<\/p>\n
### Armor Full Set Mode<\/p>\n
Optional config setting `armorCoating.requireFullSet`:
\n– **Disabled (default)**: Each armor piece works independently
\n– **Enabled**: Effects only apply if all 4 pieces have the same effect<\/p>\n
