About this Mod

Features
Polydoodads adds server-side trinkets that give specific buffs to the player. They are crafted from a number of materials and cut gems, each one with its own base attributs.
Cut gems are created by right-clicking a grindstone with the selected gem in hand. E.g.: Emerald -> Cut Emerald. Cut Redstone and Cut Glowstone are made using Redstone and Glowstone Blocks, not Dusts.
This mod is fully server-side (provided you use Polymer's generated resource pack on the server) and also works in single player. Recipes can be viewed using Polydex.
Versions below 1.21.6 won't get updated with new features. It's far too much of a hassle to do so.
Materials & Gems
Each material has a base modifier and might have a secondary modifier. Gems only have a base modifier and value, with the latter being multiplied by the trinket's material gem modifier. Values with a + are added to the base, while values with an x are multiplied then added to the base.
ATTENTION! the modifiers for 1.20.1 are completely different, due to many not existing in that version. Please check the MODIFIERS.md file on GitHub.
As an example, a Quartz Iron trinket will grant the player [base] + 2 Armor, [base] + [base] x 0.05 Knockback Resistance, and [base] + [base] x 0.05 x 1.5 Movement Speed.
| Material | Base Modifier | Value | Secondary Modifier | Value | Gem Modifier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Copper | Armor | +1 | -- | -- | x1 |
| Iron | Armor | +2 | Knockback Resistance | x0.05 | x1.5 |
| Gold | Armor | +1 | Block Break Speed | x0.05 | x2 |
| Netherite | Armor | +3 | Burning Time | x-0.1 | x3 |
| Cut Gem | Modifier | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Quartz | Movement Speed | x0.05 |
| Diamond | Attack Damage | x0.05 |
| Emerald | Luck | x0.125 |
| Lapis Lazuli | Oxygen Bonus | x0.125 |
| Amethyst | Armor Toughness | x0.05 |
| Redstone | Max Health | +2 |
| Resin* | Block Reach | +1 |
| Glowstone | Attack Speed | x0.05 |
| Ghast Tear | Explosion Knockback Resistance | x0.1 |
- Resin is, obviously, only available in 1.21.4+
