Talismans
by Wisoven
Talismans adds attribute-boosting trinkets, a transmutation system and a rune-based crafting block to survival play on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.
What it does
Talisman items give simple attribute buffs when equipped in the offhand slot, and each one is built from extractable Cores that set the potency of the effect. Combining several Cores of the same level produces a special trinket with multiple attribute bonuses. Overworld loot tables now include Talismans, Omnislates and Rune Splitters, so the items show up during exploration without being crafted first.
The mod also brings an ancient transmutation table for transforming Talismans into Omnislates and components, and a new advancement tree that tracks progress through the system. The transmutation mechanics are layered, so the advancement tree is the practical place to learn them. Talismans is published as a server-required mod: the server must run it, while players may add it for the new items. It also ships as a data pack for server platforms, and the author notes that features highlighted in the documentation may change as the pack receives updates.
