Rods from God - Superweapons for Modfest 1.21
This modification enriches the game with various super-powerful weapons specifically created for Modfest.
Mythology and Backstory
In ancient times, Golden Rods fell from the sky onto the earth. Their impact was accompanied by deafening explosions that leveled mountain peaks and shattered rocks. According to legend, this weapon was used by celestial lords to end the Realm of Fire and Bones.
When the ancient gods grew weary and decided to step down, they began searching for a successor. After numerous trials by fire and frost, an heir was finally found. The artifacts and relics possessed by the gods remained gathering dust in the sands of time. Many of them turned into meteorites and disappeared deep within the earth's crust, where their energy became trapped in the endless void of the cuboid world.
Key Elements of the Modification
Targeting Device and Tungsten Rods
The aiming device allows players to summon landing markers that indicate the impact point of Tungsten Rods. Moments after activation, the rod crashes from the sky and causes a powerful explosion. All explosion parameters - damage power, knockback, fire creation, cooldown time, and maximum simultaneous explosions - can be configured through item components or directly via NBT for the rod.
Smoke Bomb
A throwable projectile that creates a smoke cloud upon landing. Deals minor damage upon impact and generates smoke particles. Players within the affected area receive a gray visual effect simulating a smokescreen.
Lightning Potion
Can be created by brewing any splash potion (even plain water, awkward potion, or thick potion) together with a lightning rod. The resulting lightning potion retains all effects of the original splash potion.
Super Bouncy Slime Block
A nerfed version of the bouncing castle feature from the test snapshot 23w13a. Launches players approximately 100 blocks high. Crafted from 9 slime blocks arranged in a square pattern.
IMPORTANT: On multiplayer servers, using this block might result in being kicked for "flying".
Corrupted Star Fragment
Crafted from a creeper head and a nether star. When activated, prevents the player's death, freezes them in place, causes them to explode after a few ticks, and then delivers the final kill with a duplicated death sequence.
The One Watch
When used, executes tick commands. Configuration is performed through a special interface built into the modification. Players need to discover access methods to settings independently.
Gravity Increase
A status effect that makes players fall faster. Created by brewing potions using ancient debris and thick potion.
The Illager's Guide to Spellcasting: Volume 1 - Fangs
Upon activation, summons three sets of fangs similar to the Evoker's attack. The fangs automatically find and attack the nearest available targets within range.
Solar Prism Headset
Equipped with a built-in beacon, creates a laser beam from the player's eyes that functions as a solar laser. Active only during daytime and when the player is under direct sunlight. Deals damage each second and sets targets on fire. When overheating occurs (visually indicated by a special effect), the helmet can become lethal to the wearer, so it should be removed immediately.
Archimedes Lever
Alters the visual size of celestial bodies (sun and moon), creating the illusion of approaching the cosmos.
Synthesis Table
An advanced 5x5 crafting table for extended crafting recipes.
Μέδουσα Curse
When worn, turns all creatures that look at the wearer into stone.
Technical Requirements
The mod was created for Minecraft 1.21. For proper operation, installation of Sinytra Connector and Forgified Fabric API (FFAPI) on the NeoForge platform is required.
