Shinsu
by Khoroshai
Shinsu is a Forge magic mod for 1.20.1 that adds Shinsu techniques, a handheld Baang weapon and a Shinsu Sword, based on the Tower of God webtoon.
What it does
Shinsu lets a player learn and use Shinsu techniques, which draw on a mana pool shown as current and maximum amount. The skills can be acquired by a right click on a discovered skill, by learning them directly from a right click, or through a Professor after a Pocket scan. Hovering over an item shows its information, so a player can see what it does before using it. Water is the default Shinsu element, and the mod aims to add Shinsu manipulation alongside the other content in its universe.
The Baang is a single handheld shooter that fires a long lasting laser-like beam, and several Baangs can float around the player at once. Shinsu waves push back nearby mobs, while the reverse-flow control freezes enemies and stuns them for a few seconds. Rare Old Books are found by exploring dungeons, mineshafts and other places. Shinsu is published for Forge 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
