PowerHeroes
by Springirl
PowerHeroes, a Forge and NeoForge addon for 1.20.1, introduces superpowers and hero characters drawn from comic and movie traditions, using a DNA-based progression system.
What it does
Players gain powers through a DNA-driven system: a syringe extracts DNA samples, and different combinations of those samples are tried in a process that JEI can help track. Each combination can grant a different power, and the power list is shown in the mod's content. The addon also adds new ores, weapons and custom suits, including comic-style Iron Man suits in Mark 1 and Mark 2 versions.
The mod is built as an addon pack for the Palladium framework and is meant to bring a superhero setting into a survival or adventure world, with characters and powers that echo the DC and Marvel style of events. Its world generation adds ores and related content to new worlds. Installation needs Palladium, which the addon pack depends on. PowerHeroes runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, with the latest Forge build at 1.0.4 and the latest NeoForge build at 1.0.1, both alpha.
