Ancient Classes
About the Modification
This mod introduces a class system into the game based on classic gaming roles. You can start using the system through a special branch menu activated by pressing ALT + C.
For better visual experience, it's recommended to enable particles at least at reduced level.
Main Features
- Configurable balance for all branches through the ancientclasses-server.toml configuration file
- Ability to customize interface placement in ancientclasses-client.toml
- 5 unique classes, each with 5 abilities and their own signature weapons
- Dynamic in-game documentation using Patchouli
- Integration with popular mods: Create (chocolate berries), BYG (all berries), AppleSkin (stone passive ability), Optifine (additional item effects), Enchantment Descriptions (enchantment effects), Embeddium/Rubidium Dynamic Lights (lantern flail light properties)
Branch System
Classes are represented as development branches. After learning a branch from the main menu, it becomes locked for further changes.
You can reset a selected branch by drinking a mundane potion. Important to remember that this action will reset all progress in the current branch.
Ability Structure
Each branch includes 4 active abilities and 1 passive ability:
- Active abilities are activated using ALT+1,2,3,4 key combinations
- Passive ability strengthens depending on the overall branch level, which is the sum of all ability levels within the branch
- Each ability can be upgraded to level 3 using experience points
Resource System
Some branches use a new resource - Soul (also known as Mana). Soul can be restored in the following ways:
- Glow berries - restore 2 soul units
- Sweet berries - restore 1 soul unit
- Instant Soul (drinkable, splash, lingering potions and arrows)
- "Bone Branch Bargain" ability
- Soul stealing using sickles
- Killing mobs
Available Classes
Currently available are 5 development branches:
- Stone Branch: serves as a tank
- Diamond Branch: specializes in magic
- Bone Branch: acts as a healer
- Feather Branch: represents an archer
- Leaf Branch: embodies a druid
