Adaptation: Compass

Each hit a player receives advances the compass by one sixth of a rotation. Once a damage type completes a full rotation at 6/6, that type becomes a lasting immunity for the player. Immunities are permanent, do not expire, and do not stack with each other. Once a damage type is adapted, hits of that type stop hurting the player and heal them by the same amount instead. Damage from the Out of this World dimension is excluded from the system, and a damage type that has not yet been adapted is simply negated once the player has built up that immunity.

The compass works through progression. Its crafting path uses Smithing requirements, the Elder's Worn Book, a base item and Netherite Scrap, so a player reaches it as part of the game's normal advancement. The mod supports common damage sources, including projectiles, explosions, fire, magic and environmental damage, and it picks up modded damage types automatically, so immunities keep working as more mods are added.

The mod is published for Forge 1.20.1 only. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The name is a deliberate irony: the compass knows the damage that has already hit the player, not where to go.
