Aetherpunk
by KognitionMC
Aetherpunk adds a mace whose damage depends on how fast the player is falling or moving, plus a diamond bottle and an ancient core used to brew and craft its components.
What it does
The Aetherpunk Mace is a weapon built from an ancient artifact. Its damage is based on velocity: a faster swing or a longer fall before impact deals more damage. A portion of the stored velocity can be carried over into the next strike, and the mace can also launch the player forward. Channeled velocity is released on impact and creates an explosion that destroys blocks in a wave around the point of contact.
The Ancient Core is found by brushing trail ruins, and the Diamond Bottle is made by liquefying diamonds in a brewing stand filled with water from a diamond block. Together they form the path to the mace and a set of potions. Aetherpunk requires Cardinal Components API, Collectively, Fabric API and Lodestone. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Fabric only, across six game versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, under the MIT License, and the code is open source.
Key features
Velocity-based mace
Damage scales with how fast the player moves, so the mace rewards momentum and falling strikes.
Velocity carryover
Part of the velocity from the last strike is kept and used to boost the player forward on the next hit.
Impact explosions
Stored velocity can be channeled into an overloaded impact that destroys blocks in a wave.
Ancient Core and Diamond Bottle
The core comes from trail ruins and the bottle from diamonds, and both feed a set of potions.
