Ethereal Blasters
by Beech11901
Ethereal Blasters adds twelve handheld blaster weapons in three tiers, each crafted from different ores and materials, plus a new ore called Ethereal Debris.
What it does
The blasters are grouped into three tiers by difficulty. Tier 1 covers the novice blasters, Tier 2 the challenger blasters and Tier 3 the legendary ones. Each blaster has its own recipe, and the mod notes that some recipes are easier to complete than others. Players are expected to gather several resources, smelt them and work up through the tiers, with JEI recommended for looking up specific recipes.
Ethereal Debris is a new ore that spawns in the overworld at the lowest levels, in the deepslate layer, and is similar in role to Ancient Debris. It has a silvery-blue look and a faint glow. Smelting one block of Ethereal Debris yields one Ethereal Scrap, which is used to make Etherium Ingot, the base for the blaster recipes. Heartstone Ore is also added to the world and gives its own materials for the Tier 3 crafting path.
The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge only, across 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The server and every player need the mod installed. Its license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
