*Orpheus mod is born from the frequent use of 'KeepInventory' , and the desire to earn it rather than just using commands. So, I turned to the story of Orpheus, who ventured into the underworld and returned. This, in a nutshell, is the goal: to obtain the Orpheus Lyre. Carrying this lyre in your inventory grants the KeepInventory effect (If you prefer not to have the KeepInventory effect from the Orpheus Lyre, there are other powers available. Check the last spoiler to see how the configuration works). Alongside this unique feature, the mod is steeped in mythology, boasting special armor, nods to ancient tales, dungeons, and much more. It's a mythological ride with a twist of fun and adventure!*
This mod is currently in its BETA phase, your feedback is invaluable, so please join the Discord community to share your ideas, suggestions, and recommendations. It will help a LOT.
This page is also in its 'beta' phase, and will continue to evolve.

How to get some items:
Get Calliope's Love (spoilers)If you are playing in Fabric or Forge Orpheus 0.8 I recommend you just to follow the advacements to know how to do it, Is cooler! So close this spoiler if that is the case!
SpoilerCalliope's Love: While on top of a mythos block, put flowers around, hold the Hellenic Codex and shift.
{ width=444 height=411 }Orpheus Lyre: The same but in the Nether, around magma, and holding "Apollo's Son."
{ width=446 height=468 }
Hi! This is easy. Go to your Minecraft folder, and you will see a "config" folder. Inside, you will find a file called "orpheus-config.json" – that's the config!
For now, there are two effects for the Orpheus Lyre: one keeps inventory, and the other makes you immune to arrows
{
"orpheusLyrePower": "keep"
}
If you input "keep" it will give you the KeepInventory effect. If you input "protect" it will grant you immunity to arrows. If you input the word "both", you will have both effects.
The KeepInventory effect is the default one.
Have fun!
