Unbalanced Exoskeleton
by soz69
Unbalanced Exoskeleton is a Forge chestplate that grows stronger as the player uses it, with five upgradeable stats that level up on their own.
What it does
The chestplate has zero armor and infinite durability, and it is meant to be the only piece of gear a player needs for stat growth. Its five stats are movement speed, jump height, attack damage, damage taken and maximum health. Each stat has a maximum level of 5, with a total level cap of 25 across all of them.
Stats level up automatically as the player performs related actions: walking, jumping, breaking blocks, and dealing or receiving damage. Upgrade Chips are special items applied by right-clicking the worn exoskeleton, and the chips available each push a single stat forward.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files exist for Forge and for two game versions, 1.16.5 and 1.20.1, with 1.20.1-curios as the latest file. The code is closed and the license is All rights reserved.
