The Plasma
by TheOman
The Plasma adds a plasma material with lightning-themed tools, armor, blocks and food for Forge on 1.20.1, with its items and effects built around the material.
What it does
Plasma is a new material that sits above netherite in strength. Plasma tools and weapons strike a target with lightning at impact, after a cooldown. The Plasma Hammer is a weapon of its own: it strikes with a longer cooldown and explodes on impact, pushing back nearby creatures and damaging them, though it attacks more slowly than other hammers. Plasma Pulsar is crafted from Gold Echo Shards, Ectoplasm and an Artifact at the center, and it knocks back nearby creatures on use.
A player who wears a full set of plasma armor gains a lightning effect, and being struck by lightning makes that effect stronger, with a Plasma Haste effect at level 3 while the lightning lasts. Ectoplasm can be brewed into a Lightning potion and is found through the Thunderer's table, where lightning strikes at random. The Thunderer is a villager profession added by the mod.
Plasma Drawer stores many items in one block and is solid and explosion-proof, as is the Plasma Lantern, a bright lamp. A Plasma Apple gives buffs when eaten. Plasma dynamite explodes where it lands and causes lightning, and the Plasma TNT block is ignited like regular TNT, then emits smoke and explodes with lightning. Plasma Nuggets are crafted from a plasma ingot and split into nine, and eight of them with an emerald at the center craft a music disc.
