About this Mod

Introduction:

This mod is an ongoing attempt to bring a comprehensive Superman experience to Minecraft, created entirely from scratch through prompts made to AI. This mod is what it looks like the limits of current AI are tested in making the all-things Superman mod that I invision for Minecraft.

The mod is entirely self contained and has no dependencies on any other mods.

How to get Kryptonian powers and Superman's suit:

Cheaters:

/superman grant [player/s]

For real ones:

Begin by looking around in the standard Forest biome for a Baby Pod Crash Site

Baby Pod crater from above

Once found, right click the baby pod to receive a Pod Core and House of El Star Map, as well as being recognised by the Pod as the last son of Krypton and having your Solar reserves restored.

Use the House of El Star Map to receive the coordinates to the nearest Fortress of Solitude, these are found exclusively in snowy biomes.

Find the entrance side with the 9 snowy blocks in front, break the snow part on top of the middle one and use your Pod Core on it to open the doors.

Fortress entrance

From there use your new Fortress Key Crystal on the block nearest the entrance to open the solar apertures (a.k.a open roof) to allow direct sunlight onto the Genesis Crystal.

Right click the Genesis Crystal to begin Genesis Calibration (this process only works when you have opened the roof and during day time!), once this is done you will have your Kryptonian powers.

However most powers must be unlocked through training, a.k.a right clicking every other floating block in the room, before pressing the Genesis Crystal again to finalise your training and receive your suit.

As you complete each training, instructions are given on how to use each power, but in-depth controls can be found below.
