Corrupted - Alternative to Netherite Upgrades

Looking to diversify your gear upgrade process in Minecraft? This datapack offers a unique alternative to the traditional transition to netherite - a system of corrupted diamonds!

What are Corrupted Diamonds?

In ancient cities, you can discover a special variety of diamonds - corrupted ones. These rare resources are used to create powerful equipment. To transform a regular diamond item into its corrupted version, simply place it in the center of a crafting table surrounded by four corrupted diamonds.

Unique Tools with Special Abilities

Corrupted Diamond Sword

This blade has the same attack power as a regular diamond sword but features a special ability - sonic boom. For 250 experience points, you can unleash a weakened version of the warden's sonic boom attack, dealing damage to all creatures in its path. Note: when using this sword, the offhand slot is temporarily blocked for proper mechanics functionality.

Corrupted Diamond Pickaxe

When mining blocks with this pickaxe, you have a chance to infest and break nearby stone-type blocks. Supported blocks include: stone, diorite, deepslate, smooth basalt, netherrack, tuff, calcite, granite, andesite, infested stone, infested deepslate, and sandstone.

Corrupted Diamond Axe

When hitting mobs with this axe, you might summon the warden to pull a nearby enemy into the ground, slowing their movement.

Corrupted Diamond Shovel

When breaking blocks with this shovel, there's a chance to receive sculk-related items.

Corrupted Diamond Hoe

The special ability of this hoe allows you to gain experience when harvesting crops. The amount of experience gained can range from a few points to entire levels!

Corrupted Diamond Armor

Initially, this armor has the durability of leather armor but provides significantly better protection. Its true power is revealed as you accumulate experience. Bonuses activate when reaching two threshold level values.

100 Experience Levels

Upon reaching level 100, your armor becomes completely unbreakable.

250 Experience Levels

At level 250 and above, you gain Resistance I and Strength II. These effects only work with the full armor set equipped and disappear when you lack sufficient experience. The full set also consumes 20 experience points per second.

Important Limitations

Attempting to upgrade corrupted items to netherite will cause them to explode, releasing experience, gold, and netherite scraps.

Achievements

The datapack adds 5 new achievements that appear in the "Adventure" tab after obtaining the vanilla "It Spreads!" achievement.

Commands for Administrators

Server operators can create any items from this datapack using the command: /function corrupted:give/<item_name>

Compatibility Issues

The datapack may conflict with:

• Mods and datapacks that unlock all recipes
• Non-vanilla shaders (affects corrupted diamond armor and vanilla leather armor)
• Some vanilla shaders (only corrupted diamond armor)
• Iris and Optifine (affects both mentioned armors)
• Datapacks using FancyPants without proper merging
• Datapacks using the same CustomModelData values for specific items
