Strains of Ascension

by stonelabs

Strains of Ascension, a Fabric mod by stonelabs, adds strains and effects tied to depth that make travel deeper in the world more dangerous.

FabricServer-side onlyThe UnlicenseOpen source1.18 – 1.19.4

What it does

The mod is inspired by the Made in Abyss series. Strains build up as a player descends, and artifacts found throughout the world help explore the depths and fight the bosses there. Lore books describe the mechanics, and a small wiki covers more technical detail for players who want it.

The mod runs in a default depth mode, where strains and effects depend on depth. A command limits play to strains gained while ascending, a closer match to how the series treats them. Strains and artifacts stop working until the mod is reinstalled, so the mod must stay in place once a world uses it. Installed on a dedicated server, the mod is server-side only, and clients connect with unmodified vanilla Minecraft. Single-player play is possible by launching a Fabric server locally and connecting to localhost.

Files target Fabric for 1.18 – 1.19.4, with 2.9.0 for 1.19.4 the latest file. The Unlicense applies, and the source code is public.

Key features

  1. Depth-based strains

    Strains and their effects scale with depth, so going deeper in the world becomes riskier.

  2. Artifacts

    Artifacts found across the world help a player explore the depths and take on bosses.

  3. Lore books

    Lore books describe the mechanics, and a companion wiki gives more technical information.

  4. Ascension-only mode

    An optional command limits strains to those gained while ascending, closer to the series.

Questions

Does Strains of Ascension need to be installed on clients?

No. The mod is server-side only, so players join a dedicated server running it without installing anything, and clients stay vanilla.

Can Strains of Ascension run in single-player?

Yes, by launching a Fabric server locally and connecting to localhost.

Why do strains stop working after an update?

Strains and artifacts lose their function until the mod is reinstalled, so the mod has to remain installed on the server.
