Eternal Ascension
Eternal Ascension is a NeoForge RPG progression mod for Minecraft 1.21.4 that reworks combat attributes, magic damage tags and health scaling.
What it does
Eternal Ascension overhauls combat around character attributes. Strength and intelligence are invested over time, and they scale physical strikes and magical spells dynamically, so a build can lean toward melee, spells or a mix of both. The mod is built as an RPG progression layer rather than a set of standalone weapons.
The damage system is the core of the mod. Magic damage kinds are registered through tags that a data pack can extend, and those tags cover both vanilla and modded elements, so new elements can be added without changing code. Mitigation ratios are tied to each entity's maximum health, so the same hit weighs differently against a small mob and a boss. The mod is built natively for NeoForge and is published for 1.21.4 only.
Eternal Ascension is client and server: the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Custom attribute scaling
Strength and intelligence can be invested to scale physical strikes and magical spells as the character progresses.
Advanced damage system
Magic damage kinds are registered through tags, covering vanilla and modded elements alike.
Health-based mitigation
Mitigation ratios are set against each entity's maximum health, so resistance scales with the target's size.
Data pack extension
Data-pack tags let packs add elements, weapons and attributes that work with the core damage system.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Custom weapon packs
Weapon and armor packs can rely on the attribute and damage tags, so new items plug into the same scaling rules.
Modded element worlds
Modpacks that add their own magic schools can map those elements onto the mod's damage tags.
Who it’s for: Players who want attribute-driven combat and modpack authors who build content on top of the damage system. The mod runs on NeoForge 1.21.4 only.
