Block Ring
Block Ring is a Forge equipment mod that adds a ring granting passive buffs tied to specific blocks, such as Netherite, Lapis and Obsidian abilities.
What it does
A Block Ring is a wearable item that grants passive effects according to the block it is imputed with, meaning the block linked to a given ability. Each ability is tied to one block: Netherite grants fire resistance, Lapis grants experience gain, Magma Block triggers a fiery explosion when mobs attack, Sponge Block and Water Breathing work together for underwater play, and Cactus, Obsidian, Snow Block, Green Stained Glass and Emerald Block each provide their own effect. A list of abilities shows which blocks are currently available.
The ring is crafted with an Iron Ring and a Block Ring upgrade template, so a player advances from a basic ring to one that holds more abilities. Hero Village is another ability in the set. Block Ring is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
