About the mod
HephaestusPlus is an addon for Hephaestus that aims to add new tools, materials and modifiers to complement other Fabric mods.
General info:
- The dependencies are optional - you don't need every single dependency, HephaestusPlus will disable certain stuff if a dependency is missing.
Please note that currently HephaestusPlus does not add anything by itself, so without any of the dependencies HephaestusPlus is useless. - As Mythic Metals by itself adds quite powerful materials, some things may be overtuned.
Please suggest changes for traits or tool stats, or report bugs on this mod's issue tracker!
Additions:
FabricaeExNihilo:
- Modifiable Crooks and Hand Hammers,
- Crooking and Smashing ability that allows any Hephaestus tool to function like a FabricaeExNihilo crook/hammer.
Mythic Metals:
New materials for melee/harvest tools with their respective traits:
Mythic Metals materials - click to show
- Adamantite - Sharp (grants +0.75 damage per part) (reused from Hephaestus)
- Aquarium - Hydraulic (negates the mining penalty underwater and boosts mining speed underwater) (reused from Hephaestus),
- Banglum - Bang Bang (if Legendary Banglum is applied, the tool can blast tunnels, using up 2 durability per broken block),
- Carmot - Carmot Synergy (when Carmot tool is held, your Carmot Shield's maximum cooldown is shorter and it regenerates faster),
- Celestium - Unobtainable (only the person that forged the tool may hold it safely, others will take continuous damage),
- Durasteel - Durable (grants +12% durability, +4% mining and attack speed per level),
- Hallowed - Soul Powered (killing mobs stores souls inside the tool, increases damage based on the amount of souls stored),
- Kyber - Prismatic (grants +1% damage per light level per level),
- Metallurgium - Unobtainable (only the person that forged the tool may hold it safely, others will take continuous damage),
- Mythril - Magically Modifiable (grants +1 upgrade slot per level),
- Orichalcum - Solid (the tool takes less damage the more durability was used up),
- Palladium - Branding (inflicts Heat from Mythic Metals onto mobs),
- Prometheum - Regrowth (slowly, passively regenerates durability),
- Quadrillum - Cosmic (mines faster the higher you are, mines slower deep underground - basically reverse Copper),
- Runite - Freezing (has a 10% chance per level to immobilize the mob for 5 seconds),
- Star Platinum - Stellar Swiftness (grants +15% attack speed per part),
- Stormyx - Storm Spell (mobs hit with the tool have a small change to be struck with lightning, higher chance during a thunderstorm)
- A Legendary Banglum ability, which activates Banglum's Bang Bang.
- A Carmot Shield ability and Carmot Boost defense modifiers will give your Hephaestus armor Carmot Shield.
