Melonrock's Democracy Expansion
by melonrock
Melonrock's Democracy Expansion, a Forge minigame for Minecraft 1.20.1, brings offensive stratagems inspired by Helldivers 2 into the game.
What it does
The mod is an unofficial, fan-made addition inspired by Helldivers 2. It adds stratagems, including an Eagle 500kg Bomb orbital laser, that a player calls in through an input sequence of the up, left, down and right keys. The stratagem panel is opened by holding the Left ALT key, and the keys can be rebound in the same Settings and Controls section as vanilla bindings. Explosive stratagems destroy blocks, so Safe Mode is enabled by default to protect the world; right-clicking a permission item toggles it off.
Each stratagem needs a matching Stratagem Permission item in the inventory before it can be used. Permission items are craftable, and the mod integrates with Curios, so they can be equipped in ten Curios slots and do not take up inventory space. Kills made with stratagems are counted, and the mod adds a shoulder-camera view for a third-person perspective like the original game, as well as enemies that work with other infection mods. Geckolib is required for the animations, and the mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1 with both the client and the server needing it. The code is not open source and is licensed under All rights reserved.
Key features
Offensive stratagems
Stratagems are fully functional attacks called in by key sequence, including the Eagle 500kg Bomb orbital laser.
Permission items and Curios slots
Each stratagem is activated by a craftable permission item, and the mod uses ten Curios slots so these items do not fill the inventory.
Safe Mode for block damage
Safe Mode is on by default, so explosive stratagems do not destroy the world, and a permission item can switch it off.
Kill counting
Kills made with stratagems are tallied, so players can see what they have destroyed.
