Soul Alchemy

Soul Alchemy allows the self to modify their own soul to their liking.

This datapack encompasses multiple things, but mainly is centered around allowing the player to change attributes about themselves (pun fully intended) like max health, speed, attack, and various other stats. This attribute change also includes the ability to permanently disable or activate various potion effects, or to disable their ability to use certain items. All of these changes can be done by using a non-renewable, yet non-consumable currency called Soul Points (or Soul Shards when in item form), which can be freely allocated and unallocated from everything previously described.

Some other things introduced in this pack include:

• Various Tomes, the main item used to change attributes about the player

  • The Knowledge Tome has info on how to use the custom crafter this pack has
  • The Tome of Insight allows the player to see their current stat allocation
  • Various stat tomes include:
    • Tome of Power (attack attribute)
    • Tome of Speed (speed attribute)
    • Tome of Agility (jump height attribute)
    • Tome of Heart (max health attribute)
    • Tome of Absorption (absorption attribute)
    • Tome of Iron (armor attribute)
    • Tome of Will (armor toughness attribute)
    • Tome of Stability (knockback resistance and explosive knockback resistance attributes)
    • Tome of Reach (entity interaction range and block interaction range attributes)
    • Tome of Water (oxygen_bonus and submerged_mining_speed attributes)
    • Tome of Luck (luck attribute)
    • Tome of Height (scale attribute)
  • The Tome of Abnormalities is the tome that allows the player to change their interaction with various status effects
  • The Tome of Prohibitions allows the player to disable their ability to use certain items in return for getting far more Soul Points, these items include disabling the elytra, disabling totems of undying, and nerfing the highest tiers of armor
  • Additionally, if the "Not Enough Attributes: Hunger" mod is installed, The Tome of Hunger can be used, which allows the player to change their max amount of hunger haunches

• A custom crafter used to create most of the items this pack introduces

• Experience Siphons, which, when used, creates Experience Vials, Flasks, and Beakers that hold 10, 20, and 30 levels respectively. These experience items can either be used for storage or used as a crafting recipe for certain other items

• Portable Spawn Points are items that can be used to temporarily set the player's spawn point to a specific location, Single spawn points can only be used once, while Infinite spawn points can be used an infinite amount of times (Admittedly pretty obvious).

• Hardcore Respawn Anchors can only be used in Hardcore mode, but can allow the player to respawn once per anchor

• Soul Shears, an upgrade to regular shears with 6x the base durability, and better compatibility with a certain enchantment

• Six custom enchantments that each have various purposes

  • The Soul Shearing enchantment is applied to shears, and specifically allows the player to use it to convert unallocated Soul Points into Soul Shards, physical items the player can either use in custom crafting recipes, or in multiplayer, trade between players.
  • Advanced Silk Touch allows the player to be able to pick up additional blocks that regular silk touch cannot pick up, namely Reinforced Deepslate, Budding Amethyst, and Monster Spawners, along with a couple other things
  • Breaching Arrows is essentially the breach enchantment, but for Bows. This version is slightly nerfed in its main ability, only ignoring 8% armor per level instead of 15%, and can only go up to level III.
  • Reinforced Wings is an enchantment that gives the elytra a little bit of armor and a small amount of the protection enchantment. This enchantment at max will only have leather effectiveness of protection.
  • Kinetic Dampener is another elytra enchantment that specifically protects against damage from flying into walls, and has a similar effectiveness as the Feather Falling enchantment
  • Unbreakable is an enchantment that makes any durability item it is applied to unbreakable, as well as making the item immune to outside damage such as explosions or lava (though for obvious reasons, it is not immune to void damage)

• Six additional crafting recipes increase the enchantment level of certain existing vanilla enchantments, which include Efficiency 8, Feather Falling 5, Respiration 4, Quick Charge 4, Sweeping Edge 4, and Mending 2

• Several advancements are also added that, when achieved, increase each players' amount of total Soul Points

This Datapack is still a WIP and might or might not need major balancing with help from outside testers.
