Shrapnel Shard
by Shady1545
Shrapnel Shard is a Forge storage-and-equipment mod in which surviving a nearby TNT blast grants the player an Arc Reactor, the power source of an Iron Man-style progression.
What it does
Shrapnel Shard works as a survival companion to Satsu Iron Man Addon, which it requires. Once a player survives a nearby TNT explosion, they receive an Arc Reactor, and that reward is granted only once. The reactor must be installed in the body, and wearing it slowly exposes the player to palladium, which poisons them over time. Technology armor increases that exposure. Higher poisoning levels bring nausea, weakness and poison effects, and an expired reactor core speeds the poisoning up sharply.
Arc Reactors need replaceable Palladium Cores. Each core lasts three Minecraft days, and tier 2 reactors produce less poisoning than the first tier. Reaching tier 3 gradually removes the poisoning altogether. Removing the Arc Reactor cures the player, while poisoning that has built up stays until treated. The Stark Bench is the center of the Iron Man progression, where armor projects are built. Starting Mark 2 research requires Satsu's Blueprint Holder. Satsu Iron Man Addon must be installed alongside this mod, and JARVIS is included as a polished system.
