Xenith's Beacon Infused Armor
by XenithDMN
Xenith's Beacon Infused Armor lets players give armor pieces beacon effects, with a chestplate that carries three of them.
What it does
Each armor piece takes one beacon effect, and the effect depends on which piece it is. The chestplate is the one that gets three effects, so the number of possible combinations is large. A new effect starts at level one rather than at its maximum, and players raise it through an upgrade menu that opens with the U key.
Upgrades happen in steps. Moving an effect up two levels costs ten experience levels, and the next step costs fifteen. A built-in help book in the game gives more detail, and it opens with the V key. Geckolib is required, so it must be installed alongside the mod.
The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which is not open source. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The author asks that credit link back to the official mod page.
