PowerStrike2
by vladssddss
PowerStrike2 adds Pyrus, Ventus and Darkus gauntlets, each carrying ability cards that grant buffs, debuffs and special attack effects during combat.
What it does
The mod adds six gauntlets and ten ability cards in total, split into four Pyrus cards, two Ventus cards and four Darkus cards. Ability cards apply buffs or debuffs to the holder or the opponent, and some of them add special attack effects. Certain abilities only work in one of the two gauntlet forms, so a card's effect depends on whether the gauntlet is in base or sword mode. Sneaking and right-clicking with the offhand switches the gauntlet between those forms. Some gauntlets shoot fireballs as part of their attacks.
The mod is a remake of the Bakugan Gauntlets Ability Cards mod, which was abandoned on an earlier Fabric and NeoForge release. The author recovered the mod logic with MCreator, and credits ThePhroge13 for another gauntlet. The author has said the mod will not be ported to the Fabric 1.21.1 version, and a older NeoForge build is named as incompatible, so NeoForge players should use the current build. Files cover 1.21.1, 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11 and 26.1.2, and the mod is released under the MIT License, not as open source.
