Divinity Engine
Divinity Engine is a Forge framework for Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 that adds a pantheon of gods, each with their own domain, blessings and curses.
What it does
Divinity Engine adds eighteen gods, each centered on a different divine domain such as light, shadow, the mountains or the sky. A player builds a relationship with every god separately through the Favor System, which has six tiers from Champion down to Enemy. Gaining favor comes from visiting shrines, praying, making offerings and completing quests, while falling into disfavor can bring the god's wrath and a unique curse. Building a relationship with one god can keep a player from discovering the rest of the pantheon.
The framework is modular and expandable, and the mod is designed both for players and for mod developers who want to build new content with the pantheon. Shrines are the main way players meet the gods. Each god has a dedicated shrine structure that matches its statue, and the shrines are spread across different parts of the world, so exploring is needed to find the whole pantheon. Trials, quests and stories shape how each relationship unfolds, and player choices carry consequences.
Installation requires Nightshade Core and playerAnimator, and the mod is published for Forge only. Divinity Engine is for 1.20.6 in its latest file, and its release range is 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 across six versions. The code is not open source; the mod is licensed as All rights reserved.
