Shyvv's Trickier Trials
by Shyvv
Shyvv's Trickier Trials makes Trial Chambers harder by changing omens, keys, loot and weapon behavior on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1.
What it does
Trial Chambers are made trickier through a difficulty system built on Trial Omen levels. A Bad Omen is converted into a Trial Omen level, and the level alters how long the omen lasts and how much loot appears when an Ominous Trial is completed. Higher Trial Omen levels raise the difficulty and the amount of loot spawned on completion.
Ominous Trial Keys gain levels, and the mod changes what the vault ejects: Dense Ingots take the place of Heavy Cores in that role. Dense Ingots can be used in crafting Lances, Maces and Charge Chambers, which are new weapons obtained from the trial. The mod is for players who want a harder Trial Chamber, whether alone or on a server.
Shyvv's Trickier Trials requires Sinytra Connector. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, both for 1.21.1, with 1.0.4-1.21.1 as the latest build. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
