Obscure Revival

Currently available: Chainmail Armor Redux — a complete rework that makes chainmail scale in protection the longer you survive in combat. Fully stable, tested, and ready for your survival world.

⚔️ Chainmail Armor Redux ✅

Chainmail now specializes in slash-deflection defense. Its protection value grows dynamically the longer you survive a fight — rewarding endurance over brute force.

✅ Status: Complete & Stable

• Fully functional in singleplayer and multiplayer
• Network-synchronized via Minecraft's official tracked data system
• No known bugs

🏹 Fletching Table GUI & Modified Arrows — Alpha Preview

The Fletching Table is no longer a decorative block. It now has a fully functional GUI, allowing players to craft modified arrows with customizable effects.

🚧 What's Next (Coming in Future Updates)

These features are planned but not yet available. Follow development on GitHub!

• 🏹 Fletching Table: The remains that we are going to do next

• Special Effect Overhaul — The current Alpha uses placeholder effects. Future updates will fully implement unique behaviors for each material: heat waves (Blaze Rod), wind push (Breeze Rod), Spread Reduce (Ender Eye), and more — with both beneficial and detrimental effects to create meaningful trade-offs.

• Client-Side Visuals — Some special effect will receive its own visual feedback: particle systems, entity trails, hit impacts, and sound design.

• Code Architecture Refinement — Further decoupling and optimization to ensure the system remains maintainable and performant as more effects are added.

• Data-Driven Conflict System — Fully configurable via .json files. Modpack authors and players can freely define mutual exclusion rules between materials, deciding which effects can or cannot coexist on a single arrow.

• 🫧 Echo Shards: Warden-counter mechanics

• 🗺️ Dynamic Cartography: Structure-hinting maps
