About this Mod

Purposeful

This mod adds vanilla-friendly additions to existing unused features.

Some sprites

These additions include:

  • New powerful potion effects obtainable from the sniffer's plants.
  • Crafting recipes for uncraftable potions such as luck, wither, dolphin's grace.
  • New mob drops for mobs which don't drop loot.
  • Powerful but balanced weapons crafted from ingredients found in ancient city chests.
  • New endgame food types with their own advantages and disadvantages over steak and golden carrots.

Recommended to use with JEI for new crafting recipes.

Enjoy!

Crafting recipes:

  • Heart of the Abyss: Found in the ancient city chests and drops from the warden. Used to craft the Sculk Crossbow.
  • Golden Beetroot: Crafted by surrounding a beetroot with 4 golden nuggets. Offers less saturation a than a golden carrot but can be eaten at full hunger.
  • Diamond Tool Fragments: Found in the ancient city chests.
  • Diamond Battle Axe Head: Crafted by placing 7 diamond tool fragments like a ladder.
  • Diamond Battle Axe: Crafted with the axe head and a stick. Does a lot damage but it is also very slow. Can be enchanted with both axe and sword enchantments.
  • Netherite Battle Axe: Crafted by upgrading the diamond version at the smithing table.
  • Sniffer Steak: Offers significantly better nutrition and saturation compared to steak but it is harder to farm since sniffers take very long to breed.
  • Goat Meat: Worse than steak, better than mutton.
  • Dolphin Fin: Drops from dolphins. Cannot be eaten. Used for brewing.
  • Resilience Potion: Recovers health upon getting hurt with a 5 second cooldown. Brewed with pitcher plant and awkward potion.
  • Ablaze Potion: Damages,knocks back and burns nearby players and mobs upon getting hurt. Brewed with torchflower and awkward potion.
  • Crystal Skin Potion: Makes the player immune to projectiles. Brewed with amethyst cluster(obtainable with silk touch) and awkward potion.
  • Dolphin's Grace Potion: Brewed with dolphin fin and awkward potion.
  • Luck Potion: Brewed with sea pickle and awkward potion.
  • Wither Potion: Brewed with wither rose and awkward potion.
  • Sculk Crossbow: Crafted in 3x3 -> Place a Tripwire Hook in the center, with a Heart of the Abyss directly beneath it. Put Echo Shards on each side of the Tripwire Hook. Above the Tripwire Hook, place a Netherite Ingot, with Netherite Scrap positioned on each side of the Netherite Ingot. Shoots faster arrows(which means more damage) and reloads quicker than a regular crossbow, better than a power 5 bow when enchanted.

Drops from vanilla mobs:

  • Bee: Honey combs.
  • Frog: Slime balls.
  • Dolphin: Dolphin fin.
  • Fox: Leather.
  • Sniffer: Sniffer steak and moss block.
  • Goat: Goat meat and wool.
  • Warden: Heart of the Abyss.
