Aurora SMP Mod
by BillTheBall
Aurora SMP Mod is a Forge minigame in which kills and deaths change the effects a player carries, and a player who dies six times is banned.
What it does
Each death gives the player a negative potion effect, and each kill gives a positive one, so the effects shift as a survival run goes on. The effect system is similar in idea to other SMP effect mods that remove effects on death and grant them for kills. Items can be upgraded or downgraded by the effect system, and the author recommends the mod for life-based survival worlds.
The minigame revolves around kills and deaths. Players who reach six deaths are banned from the server, which creates a limited-lives format for multiplayer survival. The mod also changes some recipes: the golden apple recipe uses blaze rods, enchanted golden apples and cobwebs in place of the vanilla ingredients, and JEI shows the added recipes.
Aurora SMP Mod requires Forge and runs only for Minecraft 1.20.1. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source. The latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, published 2024-07-01.
