Memento Mori - Add-on for Requiem
Memento Mori is a content and balancing add-on for the Requiem mod, requiring its presence to function. Tested with version 1.5.1, but may work on earlier releases.
Core System Changes
Reworked Attrition System
The Attrition effect now lasts 20 minutes by default (configurable via game rules). When the timer expires, the effect doesn't disappear completely but decreases by one level. For example, Attrition level IV will completely vanish over 80 minutes.
In mob form, Attrition increases instead of decreasing, which can be prevented with the "Satiation" effect. When reaching the configured duration, Attrition resets to 1 with an increased level. Reaching level IV results in player death.
New Satiation Mechanics
Players can gain the Satiation effect by attacking certain creature types while possessing a mob. "Humans" of the Minecraft world provide the most Satiation:
- Villagers
- Pillagers
- Golems (both types)
- Witches
- Evokers
- Vindicators
Piglins provide 4 times less Satiation. 20 damage (Villager's maximum health) equals 5 minutes of Satiation.
Soul Damage
Soul damage doesn't reduce health but increases Attrition duration. 3 soul damage adds 3 seconds to Attrition. Exceeding the configured duration increases the effect level.
Default soul damage sources:
- Soul fire
- Wither
- Dragon breath
Mobs dealing soul damage:
- Phantoms: 60
- Vexes: 15
- Evoker fangs: 5
Enhanced Phantoms
Phantoms now spawn every 10 seconds at night in numbers corresponding to the player's Attrition level. No Attrition means no Phantoms spawn, level IV spawns 4 creatures. They attack even when possessing a mob and deal 60 soul damage.
New Items
Roasted Spider Eye
An inexpensive way to gain weakness. Cooking a spider eye with a campfire weakens the poison, allowing consumption with moderate nerve damage.
Eau De Mort
Allows separation from a host while keeping items intact for the next possession. Not recommended for consumption in human form.
Acquisition methods:
- Finding in loot (primarily in the Nether)
- Crafting: brew a Potion of Withering from a Withered Rose and basic weakness potion, then use a Totem of Undying for conversion.
Enchantments
Soul Cleaving
Maximum level III, available through enchanting table or Nether loot. Deals 30 × (level) soul damage.
Reaping
Single level, two effects:
- Deals 3 × (target's Attrition level) magic damage
- Converts regular fire to soul fire on mobs and arrows
Creating "soul flaming" weapons requires both Reaping and the corresponding fire enchantment.
