Mech Origins Minecraft Mod

Overview

Mech Origins is a Minecraft mod that introduces a unique gameplay mechanic where players can collect and equip different modules or parts, each altering the player's abilities. The mod is designed to provide a modular and expandable system, allowing for easy addition of new items and equipment.

Initial Setup

• Spawn Equipment:

  • Upon spawning, players start with the base core, arms, and legs equipped.
  • These initial parts have no direct effect on the player's abilities.

• Basic Attributes:

  • Regardless of the equipped parts, players experience a slightly lower jump height (only just a full block), slightly reduced movement speed, and faster falling speed (increased Y velocity, so you will fall faster as well).
  • The base attributes serve as a foundation for the modifications brought about by different equipment.

Equipment Acquisition

• Item Sources:

  • Items can be found in chests scattered throughout the world. (in Development)
  • Certain mobs have a chance of dropping relevant items. For example, a Blaze may drop the Fire Arms.

• Equipping Mechanism:

  • To equip a new item, players right-click (or the "use" button) with the item in their main hand.
  • Equipping an item replaces the currently held item with whatever item that was last equiped.
  • Reverting is possible by re-equipping the base version, ensuring players always have somthing they like, and cant be softlocked by the lower jump height of the wheel legs.

Development Structure

• Modularity:
  • The mod is designed with a modular structure, making it easy to add new items and equipment.
  • This modular approach allows for continual expansion, even after the mod reaches Alpha and Beta stages.

Implementation Notes

• Development Stage:

  • The mod is currently in development, with plans for Alpha and Beta releases.

• Continued Expansion:

  • The modular design facilitates the addition of new items, ensuring the mod can evolve with future updates.

With Mech Origins, players can experience a dynamic and customizable gameplay experience, where their choice of equipment significantly influences their abilities in the Minecraft world.
