Lore
by LegacyK181
Lore lets players take on the roles of Minecraft's historical figures and characters, each with its own set of abilities.
What it does
Lore is a Forge magic mod for 1.18.2 that aims to turn players into characters from the game's lore and give them access to a different set of abilities for each one. Progression gives players ways to become a character, and the abilities are meant to change how a player interacts with the world. The author plans future updates that add dimensions tied to characters and more ways to interact with the world.
The mod is also built for mischief. It includes a jumpscare mechanic, spooky sounds played through a key bind, a command that changes the time to night, and a lightning strike aimed at the block the player is looking at. A toggleable nametag visibility option and a toggleable invisibility option that works while armor is equipped support pranks on friends, and troll armors are included. Lore runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it works for Forge on 1.18.2 only, with 1.3.1 as the latest file from 2024-02-12. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source.
The mod also includes a sword, an entity and 303 armors, which the author describes as obtainable only in creative mode. Its armors look like vanilla armor but have guessed durability. Lore works with Emissive Textures so armor eyes can glow, which the author hopes will carry over to shaders. Cooldowns for abilities are planned to appear on the HUD, and many blocks and decorations are in development.
