Effect Gems

by Gamingbarn

Effect Gems adds gem items that give status effects to a player who holds them in the off-hand or main-hand slot.

What it does

Gems are added through a datapack, so the mod needs no mod loader for its content. Holding a gem in the off-hand or main-hand slot applies the status effect it carries to the player. The mod is a server-side install: players join without installing anything, and the server runs the effects.

Key features

  1. Off-hand effects

    A gem held in the off-hand slot applies its status effect to the player.

  2. Main-hand effects

    A gem held in the main-hand slot applies its status effect as well.

  3. Datapack content

    New gem items are defined in a datapack, so their effects can be changed without writing code.
