Amethyst Update
by redfox193
Amethyst Update adds amethyst arrows, an amethyst dust recipe and an Ancient Staff that players build from amethyst parts and enchant with a main enchantment.
What it does
Amethyst Shards gain a use in the mod. Amethyst Arrows are a new arrow type crafted from them, and they give a reason to collect amethyst. These arrows deal slightly less physical damage than standard arrows, but they apply a status effect called Bleeding when they hit, which reflects the sharp shards.
Amethyst Dust is a crafting ingredient, and collecting the parts needed to craft the Ancient Staff requires several steps. The staff is a weapon that needs at least 15 bookshelves to enchant. Its behaviour depends on its main enchantment, and two different main enchantments are available. A separate Tempered Shattered option is included as well.
The mod is published for Fabric 1.20.1 only among its listed game versions, with release files for 1.19.4, 1.20 and 1.20.1 and the latest file 1.1.1 for 1.20.1. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
