Auroral
This mod was made for WinterJam2025
"The sky gives and the ice remembers."
Auroral is a winter expansion mod that transforms cold biomes from barren wastelands into hubs of mystical progression. Harness the power of the Aurora Borealis to craft unique tools, armor, and magical potions without ever needing to visit the Nether.
The Aurora Event
During certain nights in cold biomes, the sky comes alive with shimmering ribbons of green and pink light. This celestial phenomenon is more than just beautiful, it is the key to Auroral's progression system.
When an aurora appears:
- Glacial Basins fill with glowing Liquid Aura
- Shimmersteel gear slowly repairs itself
- Aurora Blooms sprout on snow blocks and grow only to vanish forever come morning
Core Features
Glacial Basin
The heart of Auroral's crafting system. Place this basin under open sky in a cold biome, and during aurora events it will collect Liquid Aura. Right-click with materials to transform them:
- Unrefined Shimmersteel → Shimmersteel Ingot
- Woven Leather → Shimmerweave Fabric
- Frozen Petals → Aurora Shard
- Ice → Shimmering Ice
Shimmersteel Arsenal
Upgrade your iron tools at a Smithing Table with Shimmersteel Ingots to create powerful aurora-infused equipment:
- Shimmersteel Pickaxe → Fortune III for gems and minerals only
- Shimmersteel Axe → Right-click copper to force oxidation
- Shimmersteel Shovel → Inherent Silk Touch
- Shimmersteel Sword → Applies Slowness, executes low-HP enemies
- Shimmersteel Spear → Throwable with bonus damage during auroras
- Shimmersteel Bow → Fires Star-Shots using snowballs as ammo
Shimmerweave Armor
Crafted by upgrading iron armor with Shimmerweave Fabric:
- Goggles → Nearby hostile mobs glow through walls
- Tunic → Automatically extinguishes fire
- Leggings → Speed boost on snow, Soul Speed on soul sand
- Skates → Ice skating, Frost Walker, lava to obsidian, fall immunity on ice
Nether-Free Brewing
The Cold Brewing Stand uses snowballs instead of Blaze Powder, and Frozen Petals work like Nether Wart to create Awkward Potions. Complete your potion setup without ever visiting the Nether!
Flora & Food
- Aurora Blooms - Magical flowers that spawn on snow during auroras, harvested for Frozen Petals
- Glow Leeks - Grown on Shimmering Ice, grants Night Vision when eaten
- Frosted Cookies - A frosty treat with special effects
- Hot Cocoa - Warm up with a comforting drink
Special Blocks
- Hearthwood Log - Burns for 7 days, grants frostbite immunity nearby, and acts as an Aurora Catalyst
- Shimmering Ice - Glowing ice that never melts and hydrates crops
- Aurora Lantern - Portable light that protects against the Darkness effect
Auroral Snowlette
Use an Aurora Shard on a Snow Golem to create an adorable miniature companion! These tiny pets:
- Follow you like a tamed wolf
- Can be told to sit
- Heals when hit with snowballs
- Emits gentle aurora sparkles
Optional Integration
- GuideME - In-game guidebook with full documentation
Getting Started
- Find a cold biome (snowy plains, frozen peaks, etc.)
- Craft a Glacial Basin (Stone + Blue Ice + Iron)
- Place it under open sky and wait for an aurora
- Gather Frozen Petals from Aurora Blooms
- Create Aurora Shards in the basin
- Craft Unrefined Shimmersteel (Copper + Iron + Coal)
- Refine it in the basin to get Shimmersteel Ingots
- Upgrade your iron gear at a Smithing Table!
