Description

🌟 Dawn Star: Battle Preparation Introduction

This mod is an expansion pack for the base mod "Dawn Star." It adds a complete three-tier equipment progression line from Star-Shimmer Alloy to Lunar Alloy and finally to Solar Corona Alloy. New additions include alloy materials, alloy blocks, smithing templates, full armor sets, complete tool and weapon sets, totems, horse armor, nautilus armor, elytras, and shields. It also introduces two endgame mechanics: the "Solar Wrath" debuff and the "Demigod Ascension" invincibility effect. All new items are fireproof, explosion-proof, and do not despawn when dropped.

⚠️ Dependency: The base mod "Dawn Star" must be installed first for this mod to function.
