Absorbaholic

Sneak. Absorb. Become.

Absorbaholic lets you eat the world. Sneak with both hands empty, hold use on a block or a weakened mob, and absorb it: the thing is gone, and you keep one of its traits and one of its weaknesses. Obsidian makes you blast-proof but slow. A blaze lets you throw fireballs, and rain starts to hurt.

The mode is an Absorbaholic Mode button on the Create World screen, right below Difficulty, and it's ON by default. Operators can switch it any time with /absorbaholic on|off.

What it does

1. Sneak with both hands empty and hold use on a block, a lava source or a mob at 25 % health or less. Sneak and look first: a small hint shows what it gives.
2. After 1.5 s it's absorbed: blocks vanish without drops, mobs without loot or XP. Nothing valuable is destroyed by accident: full chests, hives with bees and mobs wearing gear are refused.
3. You gain its trait and its weakness at level I. Absorb it again for +1 on both, up to III.
4. Every absorption rolls: 15 % mutation (trait or weakness +2) or 2 % pure (no weakness gained).
5. Up to 20 sources at once. A new one past the cap pushes out your oldest.
6. A 10 s cooldown (relogging doesn't skip it), then go again.

Traits survive death by default (per world). The dragon egg doesn't care: its weakness wipes everything. Creative and Spectator players never absorb, and their traits sleep until they're back in Survival.

Notification settings

Every absorption shows a title, an actionbar line and a sound. Turn off the sound, the messages or both from Mod Menu (Mods → Absorbaholic → config: Absorb Sound / Absorb Message), or with /absorbaholic-notify sound off / /absorbaholic-notify message off. Saved on your computer, applied on every server.

Known quirks

• Players without the mod on their client can't absorb. Their existing traits still work on the server, except wall climbing, lava walking and gliding, and their messages are in English.
• Sources removed by a datapack stay on players but do nothing. /absorbaholic remove cleans them up.
• Chests, furnaces, lecterns and campfires with items, hives with bees, and mobs wearing or carrying gear are refused. Empty them first.
• You can't absorb where you can't break blocks: spawn protection, the world border, Adventure mode, claim mods.
• Bedrock is protected in the bottom 5 layers, under the Nether roof and everywhere in the End.
• An item in your off hand (a shield, a torch) blocks absorbing, so its vanilla use keeps working.
• Absorbing the Ender Dragon counts as killing it: the portal and the egg appear.
• Other mods' attribute bonuses stack with ours, and the caps apply to the total.
