SoulTale
by Tubbor
SoulTale is a Fabric mod that brings soul-based combat rules into Minecraft, with marks, hate stacks and a single revive.
What it does
Combat effects follow the health of the player. Below half health, attacks apply Weakness, 3 seconds of Wither and damage that is delayed and causes hitstun, while the player gains armor, and at 4 HP or less the armor and damage bonuses grow further. Negative effects on the player last half as long and positive effects last twice as long.
Getting hit marks the attacker, and hitting a marked enemy deals extra damage. Killing a player grants a hate stack that raises damage by 5 percent per stack, up to 50 percent, and stacks last 10 minutes and reset on death. Each player can also revive once upon death, with a 15-minute cooldown. The mod is published for Fabric only, with a single build, 1.0, for 1.21.1, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.
