bagua

Each talisman is tied to one of the eight trigrams, and a player who forges all eight gets a set that shapes how the game is played. The items are meant to bring ancient Chinese philosophy into a Minecraft world, with each trigram standing for a different kind of help. A talisman can be chosen for the situation at hand, such as one for crossing oceans or another for surviving the Nether. The talismans have their own visual design and their own crafting recipes. Their effects only apply while they sit in the main inventory or the hotbar, so a talisman placed in a storage container gives no benefit.

The mod is built for NeoForge and targets 1.21.1 only. Both the server and every player need it, because the client and server environment means the items and their effects are handled on both sides.
