Item Coating
A mod that allows applying potion effects to weapons, tools, and armor. Effects trigger on attack, block break, or when taking damage.
Key Features
- Apply Coatings: Craft item + potion OR grab potion and right-click item in inventory
- Remove Coatings: Grab milk bucket and right-click item to remove all coatings
- Three Item Types: Weapons (apply on attack), Tools (apply on block break with Inversion), Armor (apply when taking damage)
- Two Effect Types: Time-based (expire by timer) or Hit-based (expire after N hits for instant effects ≤1s)
- Extend Effects: Reapply same effect to extend (time-based: full/1/4 duration, hit-based: +1 hit)
- Loot Coatings: 8% chance for items in loot chests to spawn with coatings (1% chance for Coating Curse instead)
- Better Combat Support: Works with dual wield and offhand attacks
Enchantments
| Enchantment | Max Level | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Coating Capacity | III | +1 coating slot per level (base 1, max 4) |
| Coating Preservation | V | Extends duration: +5s + 20% × 2 × level (time) or +1 + 2 × level hits |
| Coating Potency | III | +1 effect level per enchantment level |
| Coating Curse | I | Prevents applying coatings (curse) |
| Curse of Inversion | I | Inverts effect application (extremely rare treasure) |
| Curse of Permanence | I | Makes coatings infinite and unremovable (extremely rare treasure) |
Item Types
Weapons
- Trigger: On attack
- Target: Enemy receives effect
- With Inversion: Wielder receives effect
Tools
- Trigger: On block break (requires Inversion curse)
- Target: Player receives effect (only with Inversion)
- Without Inversion: No effect (blocks can't receive effects)
- Note: Axes are treated as weapons, not tools
Armor
- Trigger: When taking damage
- Target: Attacker receives effect
- With Inversion: Wearer receives effect
- Full Set Mode: Optional config to require all 4 pieces with same effect
Curses
Curse of Inversion
- Effect: Inverts who receives the coating effect
- Weapons: Effects apply to wielder instead of target
- Tools: Effects apply to player when breaking blocks
- Armor: Effects apply to wearer instead of attacker
- Rarity: Extremely rare (1% of normal curse chance)
Curse of Permanence
- Effect: Coatings become infinite and cannot be removed
- Coatings never expire (no duration/hit countdown)
- Milk bucket cannot remove coatings
- Can still add new coatings if capacity allows
- Rarity: Extremely rare (1% of normal curse chance)
Visual Effects
- Particles: Colored particles around coated items (configurable)
- Tooltip: Real-time timer/hit counter, effect icons, Shift for descriptions
How It Works
Applying Coatings
- Crafting: Item + potion(s) → coated item + empty bottles
- Quick Apply: Grab potion → right-click item → instant coating
- Works in any inventory: Player, chest, shulker box, etc.
Mechanics
- Time-based (>1s potions): Shows "Poison II (1:23)", expires by timer
- Hit-based (≤1s potions): Shows "Strength II (3 hits)", expires per use
- On Trigger:
- Weapons: Applies effect for 3s (time) or 1s (hit) on attack
- Tools: Applies effect for 1s (time) or 1s (hit) on block break (with Inversion)
- Armor: Applies effect for 3s (time) or 1s (hit) when taking damage
- Extension:
- Time-based: Same level = full duration, different level = 1/4 duration
- Hit-based: +1 hit per potion (regardless of level)
Armor Full Set Mode
Optional config setting armorCoating.requireFullSet:
- Disabled (default): Each armor piece works independently
- Enabled: Effects only apply if all 4 pieces have the same effect
Configuration
Fully customizable via config/itemcoating/itemcoating.toml:
