Runic Curiosities
by SavistarIT
Runic Curiosities adds a set of Forge talismans and artifacts that sit in the Curios accessory slot, from a time-stopping hourglass to a flying pair of wings.
What it does
Each talisman is an accessory item that grants a passive effect or an active ability while it is equipped. The Time Hourglass stops time around entities for about 15 seconds and recharges using Soul Sand. Fairy Wings grant creative flight, regeneration and luck. The Ignitor Shield makes the wearer immune to fire, sets attackers alight and reflects incoming projectiles. The Guardian Golem Necklace summons an Iron Golem that defends the wearer against enemies that attack, and it recharges using Iron Ingots. The Warden Beam channels a Sonic Boom from the chest, and the Spider Boots allow climbing vertical surfaces, negate fall damage and make no sound while walking.
The mod integrates with the Curios API, so each artifact occupies an accessory slot rather than the armor or hotbar. Geckolib is also required for the animated models. Custom time-stop audio can be added through a resource pack: a folder named with the exact file names custom 1.ogg and custom 2.ogg, loaded in the game, and a chat command selects the sound.
