ABOUT THE MOD

TBATE Craft brings a progression and combat system inspired by the world and power system of The Beginning After The End into Minecraft.

Instead of simply giving the player a collection of spells, the mod is built around character progression.

Choose your race, develop your Mana Core, master your affinity, train your abilities and gradually unlock more advanced forms of magic.

The project is still in active development, with many more systems, creatures, locations and progression mechanics planned for future versions.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MANA CORE PROGRESSION

Your character develops through a Mana Core system.

Core progression currently includes multiple stages, from the early Red Core levels up to White Core.

Progression is earned through systems such as:

• Mana training
• Meditation
• Combat
• Ability usage
• Mana control exercises
• Beast Core progression hooks

Higher Core stages unlock stronger techniques and new progression options.

Reaching White Core can also expand the player's combat possibilities by removing some of the normal restrictions between Augmenter and Conjurer techniques.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

ELEMENTAL AFFINITIES

The current elemental system includes:

🔥 Fire
💧 Water
🪨 Earth
🌪 Wind
✦ Pure Mana

The four standard elements have separate combat identities instead of functioning only as different colors of the same spell.

Fire focuses on aggressive pressure and explosive attacks.

Water focuses on flow, pressure and battlefield control.

Earth emphasizes defense, physical impact and heavy constructs.

Wind focuses on mobility, speed, knockback and cutting attacks.

Pure Mana is a special hybrid affinity centered around direct mana manipulation, precision, constructs, barriers and support abilities.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

AUGMENTER & CONJURER

Characters using normal elemental affinities follow one of two main combat paths.

AUGMENTER

Augmenters reinforce their own bodies, weapons and physical attacks with mana.

Their abilities focus on:

• Reinforced strikes
• Mobility
• Elemental melee attacks
• Defensive reinforcement
• Close-range combat

CONJURER

Conjurers specialize in projecting mana outside their bodies.

Their abilities focus on:

• Projectiles
• Walls
• Area attacks
• Fields
• Elemental constructs
• Long-range combat

At higher progression levels, especially White Core, characters can gain access to techniques normally associated with the opposite path.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

80 ELEMENTAL TECHNIQUES

Fire, Water, Earth and Wind each currently contain:

10 Augmenter techniques
+
10 Conjurer techniques

For a total of:

80 elemental techniques.

Abilities unlock gradually as the player's Mana Core develops.

Players can equip up to six techniques at once and switch between them during combat.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

PURE MANA

Pure Mana is not treated as a normal fifth element.

It is a special hybrid path that can reinforce the body while also projecting mana externally.

Pure Mana currently includes abilities such as:

• Mana Arrow
• Piercing Mana Arrow
• Split Arrow
• Guardian Arrow
• Guided Mana Shot
• Mana Construct
• Construct Array
• Explosive Construct
• Mana Transfer
• Mana Reservoir

Pure Mana users cannot obtain a normal secondary elemental affinity.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

DEVIANT MAGIC

Advanced characters may become eligible for Deviant abilities.

Current Deviant types include:

⚡ Lightning
❄ Ice
🌿 Plant
🌋 Magma
⛓ Iron
◉ Gravity
◖ Sound
✚ Emitter
◉ Premonition

Deviants are not automatically granted when reaching the required Core stage.

Eligibility can depend on race, elemental affinities, training and progression requirements.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

PREMONITION

Premonition is a special sensing ability available to eligible Elves.

While active, it can detect nearby entities even through terrain and structures.

Its effectiveness improves through mastery, increasing sensing range and efficiency.

Unlike normal spells, Premonition uses health as its primary resource rather than mana.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

PLAYABLE RACES

The current playable races are:

Human
Elf
Dwarf
Alacryan
Phoenix

Each race has different attributes, affinity options and special traits.

Examples include increased Mana capacity for Humans, increased movement speed for Elves, stronger mining and knockback resistance for Dwarves, natural armor for Alacryans and fire-related advantages for Phoenix characters.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

TRAINING SYSTEM

Progression is not limited to repeatedly killing mobs.

Players can improve through several forms of training, including:

• Mana Meditation
• Mana Control Training
• Mana Output Training
• Physical / Augmenter Training
• Conjurer Training
• Core Purification

Training includes progression limits and fatigue mechanics to prevent simple infinite farming.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

COMBAT & CONTROLS

The mod includes a six-slot ability loadout.

Default controls include:

K — Open the TBATE menu
R — Next equipped ability
Shift + R — Previous equipped ability
Z — Use selected ability
M — Meditation
F8 — Developer tools (development/testing environments)

Keybinds can be changed through Minecraft's Controls menu.

Some abilities support press, hold and release behavior.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CUSTOM INTERFACE

TBATE Craft includes its own RPG interface for:

• Mana
• Mana Core progression
• Selected ability
• Health
• Hunger
• Experience
• Character information
• Magic
• Training
• Codex

The interface is designed to support much larger RPG-style health and mana values without filling the screen with vanilla hearts.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MULTIPLAYER

Core gameplay systems are designed around server-authoritative logic.

Mana usage, cooldowns, ability validation, damage and progression are calculated by the server rather than being trusted directly from the client.

The mod supports dedicated Forge servers.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CURRENT DEVELOPMENT

TBATE Craft is still under active development.

Future updates are planned to expand areas such as:

Alacryan Runes and Spellforms
Decay Mana Arts
Beast Cores and Beast Wills
Mana Beasts and bosses
Weapons and equipment
Dicathen
Alacrya
Relictombs
Epheotus
Aether
Djinn systems
Story content
World generation
Additional abilities and progression systems

Expect mechanics, balance and visuals to evolve significantly between early versions.
