Crying Ore

• Hardness: 61.8
• Blast Resistance: 1200
• Can be broken with: Diamond Pickaxe or higher
• Stackable: 64

Crying Ore is a rare ore that generates both in the Nether and the Overworld.

In the Nether; it has similar generation properties of the Ancient Debris, meaning it generates in the form of scatter ores. However, Crying Ore can be fully exposed to air unlike Ancient Debris and slightly generates more.

In the Overworld; it has the identical generation properties of the Diamond Ore instead and it generates as a normal ore, the only differences being Crying Ore generates 2x less and it can be fully exposed to air.

It can also generate in the surface in the overworld, between Y levels 60 and 72 (it's very biased to bottom). It can only replace the dirt or grass on surface. It has a 20% chance to not generate if it's exposed to air (water is not considered air).

When mined, it drops a Crying Residue which can be used to craft a Crying Ingot. It will drop itself if the pickaxe has Silk Touch. The block itself can be smelted into Crying Ingots as well.

Crying Tools

Crying Tools are crafted with:

• 1 Netherite Tool
• 1 Crying Ingot
• 1 Core Ingredient

The Core Ingredient of a Crying Tool is specified by the addition material in its recipe. Core Ingredients are listed below:

• Over-hardened Core With Eye (only for Crying Pickaxe and Crying Sword)
• Crying Ingot
• Netherite Ingot
• Diamond
• Iron Ingot
• Copper
• Gold Ingot

A Crying Tool's damage, durability, mining speed, and enchantability on its Core Ingredient. While Gold is the lowest tier, it has two perks—unlike every other tier, which has only one—and it's the only way to spawn a Granter Entity.

Tool Values

Core Ingredient	Durability	Enchantability	Mining Speed (All except Axe)	Axe Mixing Speed
Over-hardened Core with Eye	2,147,483,647	255	2,147,483,647	N/A
Crying	30,121	90	266.0	120
Netherite	26,357	80	206.0	100
Diamond	22,586	60	166.0	80
Iron	18,817	70	150.0	60
Copper	18,066	65	140.0	55
Gold	17,747	100	320.0	140

Note: Over-hardened Core With Eye can be used only on Crying Pickaxe (with Crying Ingot Core Ingredient) and Crying Sword (with Gold Core Ingredient).

Attack Damage

A Crying Tool’s total attack damage is the sum of its base damage and the bonus damage based on its tool type. A Crying Tool’s total attack damage will not change even if it has a rarer Core Ingredient (like netherite or Crying Ingot).

Base Attack Damages

Tool Type	Base Damage	Bonus Damage
Pickaxe	7.0	2.5
Axe	20.0	20.0
Sword	15.0	15.0
Shovel	7.5	5.0
Hoe	1.0	0.0

Perks

Each Core Ingredient has one perk of its own, except Gold which has two perks. The perks of Over-hardened Core with Eye are explained later into this README.

Netherite Core Ingredient

• Fire will heal you if you have a Crying Tool with Netherite Core Ingredient in your main hand.

Diamond Core Ingredient

• Carry any Crying Tool with Diamond Core Ingredient in your inventory, and suddenly every food looks like it was made by Gordon Ramsay. (Food will restore 2x hunger and saturation)

Iron Core Ingredient

• Any Crying Tool except Sword with Iron Core Ingredient can interact with any block to extract an iron ingot from it with 33% chance. If the block doesn't drop any iron ingots after interacting with it after 3 (12 for Block of Iron) times, the block will break and drop nothing, even if it normally would.

Copper Core Ingredient

• Lightning is summoned on any enemy Crying Tool with Copper Core Ingredient hits, and this lightning will not hurt the owner of the tool. It will not start any fire either. The chance of the lightning being summoned depends on the oxidation level of the tool.

Gold Core Ingredient

• If you hit an enemy with a Crying Sword (or a Crier's Sword) with Gold Core Ingredient while sneaking, they will drop one gold ingot.
• If you take damage while holding any Crying Tool with Gold Core Ingredient and don’t already have a Granter, one will be summoned for you.

Note: Since Crier's Sword is crafted with Crying Sword with Gold Core Ingredient, these perks also apply to Crier's Sword.

Oxidation and Waxing

Tools with Copper Core Ingredient will always age, also known as oxidizing. Using a honeycomb and a copper ingot on a Crying Tool with Copper Core Ingredient will turn the tool into its waxed variant and deoxidize it, waxed tools will age 2 times slower.

Waxing is the only way to deoxidize a tool.

Oxidation Level	Time (Unwaxed)	Time (Waxed)	Summoning Lightning Chance
Unaffected	0 – 1,200 sec	0 – 2,400 sec	100%
Exposed	1,200 – 2,400 sec	2,400 – 4,800 sec	75%
Weathered	2,400 – 4,800 sec	4,800 – 9,600 sec	50%
Oxidized	4,800 – 9,600 sec	9,600 – 19,200 sec	25%

Granter

The Granter is an entity that'll travel with the closest player to it, and after 10 seconds it will descend and grant a random positive status effect to its target.

When summoned, a Granter will look for the closest player. When it finds one, it will fix its position above the player's head and follow them around for 5 seconds.

After that, it will start to descend and when it touches the player, the player will get a random positive status effect for 5 to 30 seconds. The status effect's amplifier is always 0 or 1. It will also heal 2 health.

Granter is biased to Regeneration, Instant Health and Saturation status effects so those effects will be chosen more often, but this does not mean any other positive effect will go unchosen.

It cannot be destroyed, or moved to another player if it's following one. Granter will not grant its player neutral or negative effects.

Evil Granter

Evil Granter is a variant of Granter that only grants a random negative status effect to its target. The length and amplifier of the status effect it grants is the same. Unlike normal Granter, Evil Granter is not biased to any status effect and the effect it'll choose is completely random.

Over-hardened Core With Eye Core Ingredient

Over-hardened Core With Eye Core can be used to craft a Crying Pickaxe with the Over-hardened Core With Eye Core Ingredient or a Crier's Sword.

How to obtain an Over-hardened Core With Eye Core is explained below.

Crying Pickaxe with the Over-hardened Core With Eye Core Ingredient

To craft one, you need a Crying Pickaxe with Crying Ingot Core Ingredient, a Gold Ingot, Over-hardened Core with Eye. After crafting, any existing Fortune or Silk Touch enchantments will be removed. But don't worry, Fortune and Silk Touch are still there.

If a player breaks a block with a Crying Pickaxe that has the Over-hardened Core With Eye as its Core Ingredient while NOT sneaking, the pickaxe "acts" like it has Fortune III. If player IS crouching, it "acts" like it has Silk Touch. For example, breaking Deepslate Emerald Ore while sneaking will drop the block itself. While not sneaking, it will drop between 1 and 4 four emeralds (due to it "having" Fortune III). This will work even if the pickaxe it was made with didn't have Fortune or Silk Touch.

Crier's Sword

Crier's Sword is crafted with a Crying Sword with Gold Core Ingredient, a Gold Ingot, Over-hardened Core with Eye.

Since the Crier's Sword's base has Gold as Core Ingredient, it has the perks of Gold Core Ingredient as well summoning an Evil Granter to any surviving mob it hits. It is the strongest weapon but will not damage players except it's a Crier using it.

Switching to another Core Ingredient

If you have a Crying Tool with a Core Ingredient that's not Over-hardened Core With Eye, you can switch the Core Ingredient for a different one. It doesn't matter which Core Ingredient or tool type it is, you can switch it with a Gold Ingot, Crying Tool and Core Ingredient of your choice (Crying Ingot, Netherite, Diamond, Iron, Gold).

Crying Shield

Crying Shield is a special kind of armor that blocks damage on its own but it's its effectiveness depends on whether the player is sneaking. It is crafted with 6 planks and 1 Eye.

When equipped it will spin around the player. For convenience, it is not visible in first person perspective.

If the player is sneaking while having Crying Shield equipped, the shield will have 90% damage protection and it'll reflect half of the damage it blocked. However if they are not sneaking, damage protection is 25% and shield will not reflect any damage.

Crying Armor

Crying Armor is strongest tier of there is for armor. Wearing any Crying Armor will enable the Sanity mechanic.

Crying Armor is crafted with any Netherite Armor, one Crying Ingot and one Hard Crying Obsidian.

(The extra defense points will be shown with )

Armor Values

Enchantability and Hardness for all Crying Armor is 50 and 5 respectively, including Crying Horse Armor.

Crying Armor Piece	Durability	Defense Points
Crying Helmet	6,501	6
Crying Chestplate	9,456	16
Crying Chestplate with Elytra	9,456	16
Crying Leggings	8,865	12
Crying Boots	7,683	6
Crying Horse Armor	9,456	20

Crying Chestplate with Elytra

Crying Chestplate with Elytra is Elytra and Crying Chestplate combined into a single item.

This item makes it so the Elytra won't take damage while gliding with it, but will also break if the chestplate breaks.

To craft one, you need a Crying Chestplate, an Elytra and one Phantom Membrane.

Sanity

When you wear any piece of Crying Armor, you need to control your Sanity so the armor can give you more protection.

Your sanity level determines how much extra protection Crying Armor gives you. The higher your sanity level is, higher the extra protection the armor will give you.

Maximum sanity level can be increased with wearing more Crying Armor, for every 1 armor the maximum sanity level increases by 5. Since you can wear 4 armor, the highest it can be is 20.

The protection is calculated with the formula %20 * (MaxSanityLevel * (sanityLevel / MaxSanityLevel)), the protection is capped at 80%.

If your sanity level hits zero, armor will not give you any extra protection.

Your sanity will increase or decrease based on your actions, for example eating a poisonous food will drain your sanity. Your sanity will always regenerate unless it hits maximum level or it's collapsed.

• On Hard difficulty, sanity regenerates every 30 seconds.
• On Normal difficulty, sanity regenerates every 20 seconds.
• On Easy difficulty, sanity regenerates every 10 seconds.
• On Peaceful difficulty, sanity regenerates every 0.25 seconds.

Collapsing

If you do certain things, your sanity will collapse. If your sanity collapses, you can't regenerate sanity and you will not get the extra protection sanity grants you until your sanity recovers. You can see why it collapsed on the HUD.

Drinking water from a glass bottle will speed up the recovery process by 100%.

Actions that may cause sanity to collapse

• Getting your sanity drained by (max_sanity / 2) or more while wearing 2 or more Crying Armor (collapsing duration: 5 minutes)
• Staying in an area with lower light level than 4 for 30 seconds (collapsing duration: 6 minutes)
• Staying too long in a biome with a temperature of 0.3 or lower (collapsing duration: 7 minutes)
• Killing a villager, cat, tamed animal, wandering trader, iron golem, snow golem or an allay (collapsing duration: 15 minutes)
• Eating pufferfish (collapsing duration: 30 minutes)
• Eating rotten flesh (collapsing duration: 5 minutes)

Actions that drain sanity instantly

• Taking damage from any hostile or angered neutral mob or slime, drains (damage / 4) sanity
• Eating a food that's bad for you, drains nutrition / 2 sanity (pufferfish and rotten flesh are exceptions)
• Keeping HP under 50%, drains 1 sanity every 10 seconds

Actions that regenerate sanity instantly

• Drinking honey or water, regenerates all sanity
• Taming a tameable animal, regenerates all sanity
• Eating food that's not bad for you, regenerates nutrition / 2 sanity
• Killing an illusioner, regenerates 16 sanity
• Killing a witch, regenerates 8 sanity
• Killing an enderman, ghast or endermite, regenerates 5 sanity
• Killing an evoker, regenerates 4 sanity
• Killing an hostile entity, regenerates 1 sanity
• Eating a Crying Apple, regenerates 2 sanity

Every player has a counter that tracks how many Crying Foods they have eaten during their journey. As players consume more Crying Foods, their sanity improves and grants extra protection. This protection is capped at 80%. The formula for the extra protection is (eaten_crying_food_count / 9888) * 0.8%.

This extra protection is only active when the Sanity mechanic is activated.
