About this Mod
This mod adds a Character Sheet system which lets players customise their gameplay according to a combination of different datapack objects.
On first logging in, they are presented with a character creation screen, where they are prompted to choose a Species and any number of compatible Templates, each of which adjust their character and add a diverse array of configurable changes!
Your first step is to pick your Species. Venture out from the bowels of the Nether as a member of the hardy survivalist Orkin, or flit across the breadth of the End as a Crioch, a descendant from the long-forgotten uprising against the Enderman Empire, or dive for sunken treasures as the aquatic and mercantile Muckie!
Then customise your experience further by adding templates to adjust your Species. Perhaps you were gifted by the gods with the ability to fly, or mutated by deep magics into a disturbing insectile form that can climb walls with ease, or perhaps you descend from members of your kind that took to an amphibious lifestyle along a scenic coastline and became closer to a reptile in appearance. Each template has certain conditions that must be met, so choose them wisely, as choosing one may render another unobtainable!
Or just hit Randomise and see what the RNG gods select for you! You can take a look at your sheet at any time by hitting Preview in the editor or by right-clicking with the character sheet item. The item can even take a peek at the sheets of other players!
And if none of that particularly strikes your fancy, every aspect of this mod can be tailored to suit your server community using easy-to-understand datapack files!
What's more, other mods are fully able to expand the Character Sheet system dramatically, giving the free potential to take virtuous oaths, contend with bewitching curses, pledge yourself to unseen gods, or progress through the game with a level-based class system!
