Description
AuraCraft (Fabric)
AuraCraft adds a persistent, point-based aura system for SMP-style gameplay. Players choose status effects as auras through an in-game UI, upgrade them over time, and defend them in PvP. Server admins control balance through GameRules and config.
Features
- Press Y (default) to open the Aura Picker at any time - even with no points to spend.
- Selected auras persist across sessions and are reapplied automatically on login.
- Picking the same aura again upgrades it (e.g. Speed I -> Speed II), up to a configurable max level.
- Combined cap prevents overstacking:
selected auras + unspent points ≤ max_auras. - Restoration Queue - auras lost to PvP or voluntarily withdrawn are remembered. Using an Aura Plus restores the most recently lost aura automatically before granting a new point.
- PvP loss system: dying to a player removes your most recent aura (or a point if you have none). The killer receives an Aura Plus drop if
drop_plus_on_killis enabled. - Multiplayer handshake gate - clients without AuraCraft or on a mismatched version are rejected on join.
- Mod Menu config screen with per-aura enable/disable toggles and upgrade caps.
