🌟 Overview

Ever felt like vanilla's endgame runs out of things to chase? Zenith Protocol turns boss-farming into an economy and superpowers into a deeply customizable class system. Mix and match 25 Gem paths and 90+ abilities to build the ultimate superhero — call down Orbital Strikes, bend Gravity, wield Ancient Runic magic, or assimilate the DNA of the world's creatures.

🧭 New — The Path to Zenith Questline

Not sure where to start? A built-in 35-quest, 7-chapter questline (open the 🎯 Quests screen from your loadout) walks you through the whole mod — from your first Ancient Token and Power Gem all the way to Zenith mastery. No wiki required.

💎 Getting Started

Powers are earned, not dug up:

Ancient Tokens are the master currency — from the Warden, Wither, Ender Dragon, and the mod's own Champions.
Blank Power Gems unlock your potential to absorb powers — found in Ancient Cities / End Cities, or bought.
The Gem Trader: place a Block of Amethyst by an unemployed Villager to hire a gem dealer.
The Gamble: buy Unidentified Geodes to roll for a random Power Gem.
Zenith Forge & Infusion: infuse gems, socket them into armor & weapons, and awaken netherite gear into unique artifacts.

⚔️ Champions & Elites

Hostile mobs can spawn as glowing, named, element-themed Champions — and rarer Elites that arrive with a matching retinue of bodyguards. They scale to your power, hit hard, and drop Ancient Tokens + loot. (And no, you can't cheese them from the air — they'll come to you.)

🏭 Build an Economy

A full progression of automated machines and structures: Slime, Gold, Iron, Blaze, Froglight, Shulker, Guardian & Bartering farms, the Wither Slayer, the Quantum Quarry, the Experience Obelisk, the Sentinel Nexus (keep an area mob-free), and the Arena — an Arena Core opens a powers-enabled PvP zone, with a survival-craftable Arena Leaderboard.

⚙️ Core Systems

25 Gem paths — Fire, Lightning, Frost, Time, Ender, Gravity, Force (Jedi), Flora & more.
90 Active Abilities across combat, utility, mobility and team support.
Custom UIs — press R for the Loadout Manager: equip 10 actives, manage passives/cores, with a live cooldown/toggle HUD.
Mastery System — using abilities earns points; hit 1,000 to Master a gem for permanent buffs + an ultimate.
Adaptive difficulty — mobs scale to your unlocked power, with a cushion that keeps it fair for newcomers.

🚀 Spotlight Mechanics

Smart Dimension Hopping (Ender): rift to the Nether (stand) or End (sneak) — finds a safe landing and remembers your base.
DNA Assimilation (Druid): scan mobs (H) and shift into their aspect — Enderman teleport, Spider climb, Creeper detonation…
Deflection Stance (Jedi): auto-deflect arrows, fireballs, and tridents back at attackers.

🤝 Multiplayer & Team Synergy

A built-in Team Manager — friendly-fire protection on AoE, team heals, Sanctuary Domes, and Guardian rescue-teleports.

👑 The Zenith Protocol

Collect and imprint all 25 Power Gems to trigger the Zenith Protocol: a permanent 15% cooldown reduction to every ability, permanent resistance buffs, and a cosmetic demigod aura.
