Dampened
by h_rtz
Dampened adds power-dampening content for Palladium powers on Forge 1.20.1, with blocks, handcuffs, a belt and a jammer that suppress a player's abilities.
What it does
Several items and blocks switch off the powers of a player who is affected by them. A dampener block emits a field, an EMP jammer disables nearby powers, and handcuffs or a tech-dampening belt keep a wearer from using abilities while worn. The creative dampening block is provided for testing and building. Palladium supplies the power system the content hooks into, so Palladium's power files are what the dampening acts on.
The mod is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with the latest file 1.0.2 dated 2025-07-27. Curios API, Geckolib, KubeJS and Palladium are required and must be installed next to it. Client and server both need the mod, and the license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Addon packs can build on it, and the author's instructions describe how to add compatibility.

Use cases
Villain roleplay on a server
Server owners can hand out handcuffs or place dampener blocks to restrict specific players during a scenario.
Addon pack development
Addon developers can build their own powers on top of the dampening content and wrap them so the effects stay safe for the player.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Palladium-based power content, and addon pack developers who want their powers to interact with dampening effects. The mod is not needed by players who do not use Palladium powers.
How it compares
Phantom Jammer is a Forge 1.20.1 mod with client and server environment, released under the MIT License, so its code is open source; Dampened is not. Palladium Extras is also a Forge 1.20.1 client and server mod, licensed All rights reserved and not open source, and extends the power system rather than dampening powers. CoreWithStuff is another Forge 1.20.1 client and server mod under All rights reserved, not open source.

Dampened is an addon for Palladium that adds blocks, effects, and interactions that will allow addonpack developers to allow for cross-pack power dampening.
