Have you ever wanted powerful passives in Minecraft, but felt that standard mods make the game way too easy? Arcanes Amulets introduces a set of extremely useful rings—but with a twist: they are heavily demanding to maintain. If you get careless, their upkeep costs will punish you instantly.
✨ Features (v0.1.0-beta)
🔴 Amulet of Preservation
Effect: Prevents item and XP loss upon death (KeepInventory effect). Upon respawning, your saved inventory, equipped rings, and remaining XP are completely restored!
Self-Repair: The amulet consumes picked-up XP to repair its durability. You can also crouch (sneak) while holding the amulet to manually convert your XP points into instant durability repairs.
Dynamic XP Cost: The cost to save your life isn't flat—it is dynamically calculated based on the total value, material rarity, and enchantments of your entire inventory!
Common Items & Blocks: Low cost.
Tiered Equipment: Higher costs based on materials (Wood/Leather < Stone < Gold < Iron < Diamond < Netherite).
Enchanted Gear: Adds an extra XP penalty per enchantment level.
Containers & Valuables: Ender Chests and Shulker Boxes carry severe XP weight penalties.
The Ultimate Penalty: If your current total XP is lower than the calculated inventory weight cost upon death, the amulet shatters permanently, and all your items drop on the ground as normal.
Self-Repair: The amulet consumes collected XP to repair itself. You can also crouch (sneak) with the amulet in hand to manually feed your XP into it for quick repairs!
Upkeep Cost: Each XP multiplication event adds exhaustion to your hunger bar.
The Penalty & Overload: If your hunger reaches zero, the amulet forcibly drains 0.5 Hearts (1 HP) per XP event down to a limit of 0.5 Hearts remaining.
Safety Mechanism: While equipped in a trinket slot, the amulet prevents you from dying directly to hunger damage. However, reaching critical health (0.5 Hearts) damages the amulet and forces it into a 30-second cooldown, temporarily disabling its multipliers.
🛠️ Mechanics & Customization
⚙️ Core Mechanics: Dynamic Drain
Unlike passive trinkets that give you free buffs, these rings feature a Dynamic Upkeep System.
They reward players with well-established resource farms (XP farms, food automation).
They force you to manage your resources carefully before embarking on dangerous adventures.
🎨 Customizable Ring HUD
Keep track of your active ring's drain and status in real-time! The mod features a dedicated HUD Screen that lets players move, scale, and customize the ring overlay position on their screen to fit any custom UI setup.
