What does this mod do? How does it work?

Hero Necklace introduces an exciting tiered progression system with powerful necklaces and gemstones, providing players with dynamic gameplay and combat-based rewards. This mod transforms the simple Hero of the Village status effect into a multi-tiered power-up gameplay loop, allowing you to unlock Hero of the Village buffs permanently through equipped necklaces that grow stronger as you progress through raids and collect rare gemstones from enemies.

Companion Mod Suggestion:

For your enjoyment you may find that the Guard Villagers mod (https://modrinth.com/mod/guard-villagers-(fabricquilt)) synergizes perfectly with this mod. Why? Because in the Guard Villagers mod when you have the Hero of the Village status effect you are essentially the general of any guard villagers allowing you to have them follow you/patrol areas and can change their loadout (armor/weapons/food for healing) normally when you wouldn't have the HOTV effect you would lose the ability to have them follow you/reassign them patrol areas.

Note: This is the latest version, and while it has been tested thoroughly, unknown bugs or mod incompatibilities may exist. Please report any issues you encounter.
