Aspects

Each Aspect gives a character passive traits with upsides and downsides, such as faster movement in water and slower movement on land, more damage with tridents, or a self-repairing shell that absorbs small hits. Focus Powers are active abilities that trigger through unique Focus items, including a teleport that moves the player some distance forward and a camouflage that disguises the player as a block.

Essences are taken from mobs using the Evergrowing Blade and the Essence Cage, which can be held in the off hand. Harnessing Essences lets players forge new Aspects, and certain Essences combine automatically to awaken an Aspect. The full combination list is available in the game, and recipes become available as the player progresses through the guide.

Storage uses a Store and Retrieve feature that works with chests and barrels, and the data pack menu lists the Aspects, Essence types, custom items and custom enchantments. Aspects requires the server and is open source under the MIT License. Players may join without the mod, because the client side is optional. Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across the 12 release versions 1.21.5 – 26.3, with snapshot builds also published.
