Maxims_Core
by Tibsalta-IC
Maxims_Core is a Forge equipment mod that balances numerical growth in role-playing style play through a new combat system, unique accessories and a set of 18 maxims.
What it does
Maxims_Core works to curb rigid numerical inflation, so that a modpack with many integrated mods does not see player power grow too quickly under combined conditions. Early stages stay challenging, and late stages do not become overwhelmingly strong, which keeps the experience steady.
The mod opens with a unique accessory obtained at the start, and that accessory sets the tone for the equipment developments that follow. A quest series progresses toward a final goal, and the mod introduces a new combat system alongside its own accessories. Players gain items through the progression, and recipes become available only after the required adventuring experience is gained.

Key features
Unique starting accessory
The first accessory a player receives sets the direction of the mod and of the equipment that comes later.
Eighteen maxims
The Thousand Proverbs Scroll lists 18 maxim core blessings that shape gameplay and determine how equipment combinations are built.
Enchantment rebalancing
Stacking enchantment levels and types would collapse combat, so the mod adjusts enchantment requirements by quality and increases the requirements of treasure-type enchantments.
Attribute-driven equipment
Weapons, accessories and armor draw their values from the maxims, and those values set how effective each piece is across stages.

What the author says
Imagine, when playing a certain supermodel mod or a large integration Modpack, the numerical value inflates rapidly under the overlay of multiple conditions, resulting in an extremely steep player experience. Players may be excessively weak in the early stages and too powerful in the later stages, and both scenarios…
