Living Powers
Living Powers gives players a small set of superpowers, which they gain by collecting orbs dropped by squid-like creatures that live in water.
What it does
Squid-like creatures live in water and drop orbs when they die. Combining orbs with certain objects grants powers, and combined powers increase the player's own strength. The mod's main focus is a short list of powers that give the player a small edge during fights, even on a normal day, and it aims to add a small bonus section to gameplay rather than break the game.
The powers are grouped into tiers. Tier 1 provides strength 2, regeneration 2 and swiftness 2. Tier 2 lets the player press R to teleport 14 blocks, grants extra rows of hearts, and provides water breathing, night vision, haste and fire resistance. Tier 3 allows the user to fly. The top tier, GOD, places a single-use totem of undying in the offhand slot. Armor master changes the effect granted by each armor set, for example strength or regeneration.
Living Powers runs on NeoForge only and is published for 26.1, with files covering 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11 and 26.1 across five release versions. It is installed on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. The mod is All rights reserved and is not open source.
