Zylty's Charms
Zylty's Charms adds collectible magical charms to Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1, each tied to an elemental essence that players gather from mobs.
What it does
Essences are dropped by defeating certain mobs, such as drowned, elder guardians, blazes, magma cubes, endermen, witches and cave spiders. The base drop rate is 5%, and a gamerule can change it. Essences can also be found in special structures in the world, and they are the material needed to make new charms available.
Charms are crafted from collected essences combined with common vanilla items. Each charm gives its wearer the abilities and perks tied to its element, along with a mix of potion effects. A special Charm Scroll lets a player carry up to three charms at once, so the buffs can be switched to suit exploring, fighting or surviving.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 1.0.1 as the latest file from 2024-11-30. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Elemental essences
Essences for wind, water, frost, flame, strength, shadow, venom and gale are collected from different mobs and structures.
Eight charms
Eight charms each take their power from one essence, giving passive and semi-passive buffs that change how a player explores and fights.
Charm Scroll
The scroll equips up to three charms at once, letting a player combine effects during a single trip.
Potion effect mix
Each charm combines potion effects with a special ability, so the same item offers several kinds of advantage.
