1.20.1 FABRIC MOD: THE DECK OF ASPECTS | The Fabric Project | Page 1

Hiya!

I have a mod idea ive been developing for a while called "Grimoiric: Souls", and during this development i ended up creating a weapon called "the deck of aspects".

Ive ended up becoming incredibly attached to this weapon; so if anyone would like to take a crack at it while i continue making the assets for the other, bigger mod, itd be wonderful!

To be clear; i intend to use these on the SMP i run. (The items themselves tie into its lore!)

But that aside, im about to pitch the whole mod in detail.

#

On this server, a soul is made of eight aspects:

#

As such, the cards reflect these aspects!

#

When you shift + scroll with the deck in hand, you can select which card to use via this menu.

#

(Here are all the cards)

#

Depending which card is selected/at the top of the deck, an animated vignette can be seen by the player.

#

When a card is used, a sigil depending on the card appears behind the player.

#

this looks incredibly difficult but so incredibly cool

undone salmon Feb 10, 2025, 4:37 PM

#

😭 yeah ...

#

ORDER:

stops time in the surrounding chunk; freezing all entities inside. During this, a sepia/old movie filter is applied and the sound of clocks ticking can be heard.

#

SUN:

Hands the player a bow and arrow made of sunlight. When the arrow hits a player or entity, it does little damage and instead summons a massive beam from the sky to attack them. The bow and arrow vanish afterward.

#

STAR:

When used on a target (technically a ranged weapon), their vision is filled with stars, basically blinding them. To others, cartoon stars spin around their head to show they are stunned. This should last about ten seconds.

#

WIND:

UPDATED CONCEPT:

allows the user to snatch and force grab a target for however long they hold right click down, and the target is thrown in the aimed direction when the button is let go.

OLD CONCEPT:

the user is surrounded by whisps of wind that prevent entities from getting close, until they are shot up high in the air. (Elytra reccomended lmao)

#

SEA:

It traps the target in a bubble for a few seconds as they slowly rise, then inflicts them with infinite "mana sickness" effect until their next death.

(I will explain mana sickness later)

#

MOON:

Sets the time to night forcibly, and forces the target to stare at the moon until the given poison effect ticks them to half a heart, to which it sets itself to day and the target can look away. This should be slow, and a balck vignette should slowly take the players vision as its intended to have a little bit of horror to it.

#

STORM:

Enables the "Aspect Storm" event and gives the entire server darkness alongside preventing ANY other buff of any kind during the events duration.

The "Aspect Storm" event should also cause a custom skybox which sets the sky black, and the sun/moon to the storm symbol.

The storm takes five real life minutes to pass / one ingame night; OR can be cancelled out by someone else using the Sun Aspect.

(Also note: the symbols used in this mod are taken directly from the game 'wandersong'!)

#

Once a card is used from the deck, it should disappear. Basically giving the item 8 total durability.

#

And lastly; mana sickness is a canonical disease within the server i run. I do not have much concept art for this yet outside of the character who has the disease, but i will do more solid art of it in future.

Mana sickness:

causes a pink vignette to consume the edges of the vision, alongside supplementaries esque bubbles.
the player will hear a sirens singing fade in and out at slow, slow intervals.
the player sinks in water

#

🕺 💃 DONE !!

#

NO!! I MISSED ONE!!

strange prism Feb 10, 2025, 4:48 PM

#

HOW LONG IS THIS-

undone salmon Feb 10, 2025, 4:48 PM

#

HEART:

Links the health bar of the user and target until one or the other dies, to which the bond breaks and the health bars reset to normal.

#

Ok now im done :3

strange prism Feb 10, 2025, 4:49 PM

#

im just-

#

baffled.

undone salmon Feb 10, 2025, 4:49 PM

#

Im full of ideas 🙇

strange prism Feb 10, 2025, 4:49 PM

#

these are reaaaally good ideas and i would 100% make these if i knew fabric better

#

lmao

undone salmon Feb 10, 2025, 4:50 PM

#

Yeah i know nothing of any form of java coding.

Which is why with the WAY bigger mod i mentioned at the start; im trying to make all the assets i could ever need before i have to sit down and learn Java and the Fabric API

strange prism Feb 10, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

i could probs do something decent on this with spigots api

undone salmon Feb 10, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

Spigot, like a plugin?

strange prism Feb 10, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

yep

#

i know my wat around spigot really well

undone salmon Feb 10, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

My only concern is that may not run on the server i intend this to be made for? Unless im wrong

strange prism Feb 10, 2025, 4:52 PM

#

a mod is probably best for this anyway

undone salmon Feb 10, 2025, 4:52 PM

#

Ya 😔 i appreciate the sentiment tho !!!

strange prism Feb 10, 2025, 4:52 PM

#

you wouldnt be able to get the effects looking as good as the art / the idea for it

undone salmon Feb 10, 2025, 4:53 PM

#

Yeah the only thing i can really provide is whatever assets this would need sound/art/model wise

strange prism Feb 10, 2025, 4:54 PM

#

once im done with the mod im making ill think about helping you on this if you want

#

gonna take a while tho

#

want to remain in touch?

undone salmon Feb 10, 2025, 4:54 PM

🕺 💃 unless someone else comes along before yourself, id love to!

🙏 thank you

vagrant frost Feb 10, 2025, 6:03 PM

#

i could have written the code for this masterpiece if it weren't for my overloaded head.

undone salmon Feb 10, 2025, 6:28 PM

#

🙇 i appreciate the compliments and i hope ur doing ok!!

hollow mountain Feb 10, 2025, 7:13 PM

#

This is a really cool idea, I might try to look into doing maybe one of the features. I want to learn how to render stuff so this seems like it could be a cool thing to mess around with

undone salmon Feb 10, 2025, 7:14 PM

#

💃 🕺

hollow mountain Feb 10, 2025, 7:16 PM

#

Quick question, @undone salmon do you want it to be a server sided only mod? Or are you fine with players needing to download it

undone salmon Feb 10, 2025, 7:17 PM

#

Im fine with players needing to download it!!

#

I assumed theyd need to anyway, given its a whole mod and such

#

The only specifics i need are 1.20.1 om fabric version 0.16.10

hollow mountain Feb 10, 2025, 7:18 PM

#

Okie I’ll try to at least make one of the cards to see if I can do this

undone salmon Feb 10, 2025, 7:19 PM

#

I wish you good luck!

#

If you cant handle the whole deck i can always provide alternative sprites and you can release the item standalone without the card concepts !

#

Make it a sword or whatnot

is there anything you want the person in the bubble to do or is it simply just making them rise up and get the effect?

hollow mountain Feb 10, 2025, 11:12 PM

#

this is a dev texture for the bubble but i got the bubble kind of thing working, what do you think @undone salmon

i got the mana sickness working aswell, i turned up the bubble spawning rate for showcasing the effect.

#

while under the effect, you can not swim upwards, you are pulled down towards the bottom of the water

lofty steppe Feb 11, 2025, 4:43 AM

#

Looks Cool 😎

#

Can you link repo so I can see the progress and how things are going

hollow mountain Feb 11, 2025, 4:46 AM

#

lofty steppe Can you link repo so I can see the progress and how things are going

i havent uploaded it to github as of yet

Ah alr 👍

yeah feel free, i just tried to go off of what you said

undone salmon Feb 11, 2025, 4:55 AM

#

The bubble should pop quite early on, (ill provide any sprites needed!)

Alongside, the bubbles can appear more often ; and if you can vary the sizes thatd be amazing.

Im absolutely chuffed with this :D

#

Once i wake up properly ill go ahead and make the bubble, alongside an icon for the mana sickness affect :3

hollow mountain Feb 11, 2025, 4:59 AM

#

Do you mean the card bubble? Or the mana sickness bubbles for popping early on, also they are already varied in size but not by that much. I can increase that as well as the spawn rate

undone salmon Feb 11, 2025, 5:01 AM

#

Ah, yeah sorry i should specify;

The body bubble pops early on,

The UI bubbles can be increased in rate and varied in size further :3!

#

Oh: also, i assume its like this because youre in singleplayer, but it is meant to target enemies/not yourself.

Sorry if im pocking at something thats just there for development 🙇

hollow mountain Feb 11, 2025, 5:03 AM

#

undone salmon Oh: also, i assume its like this because youre in singleplayer, but it is meant ...

Ah, I didn’t realize it was for enemies that’s why it spawned around the player lol, I can change that

#

I thought it was supposed to be some kinda mobility card type thing

undone salmon Feb 11, 2025, 5:03 AM

#

Wonderful, ty!

Is there any more assets you need other than the bubble and the effect icon?

undone salmon Feb 11, 2025, 5:04 AM

#

hollow mountain I thought it was supposed to be some kinda mobility card type thing

Ah no; mana sickness (atleast, in the story) is actually very feared :3

#

Also like. If you ever need art for a mod hmu 🙏 thats the only way i can think of showing my gratitude lol

hollow mountain Feb 11, 2025, 5:11 AM

if you want the body bubble would be kinda nice to have

undone salmon Feb 11, 2025, 5:11 AM

#

Wonderful, will do!

hollow mountain Feb 11, 2025, 5:11 AM

#

heres the template for it

#

i tried to scribble on there in aseprite which side is which

undone salmon Feb 11, 2025, 5:12 AM

#

Actually im realising i already have this exact model thanks to making the concept for a figura once!! I can go grab that,

What file format would you need the bubble sent as?

hollow mountain Feb 11, 2025, 5:13 AM

#

currently i just render it as a ~~square~~ rectangle and apply the image i sent on it as a texture

undone salmon Feb 11, 2025, 5:13 AM

#

Oh awesome, ill go borrow my own texture then :3

#

Ill still need time to do morning things but ill get right on that

hollow mountain Feb 11, 2025, 5:15 AM

#

alrighty, no rush. i got work soon anyways so it will be a bit till i can work on this again tomorrow

undone salmon Feb 11, 2025, 5:15 AM

#

No worries!! Tysm!!

undone salmon Feb 11, 2025, 7:38 AM

#

alright! these images in order are:

a custom bubble particle
the icon for the mana sickness effect
and the texture for the bubble the target gets trapped in!

im realising i forgot to say this in the pitch; but is it okay if the potion particle the player emits while under the effect of mana sickness is the bubble particle?

hollow mountain Feb 11, 2025, 1:10 PM

#

These look awesome, I’ll implement those as soon as I get home

#

Also for the water card, how do you want it to apply to the opponent? Via a projectile shot from it, or directly applied while looking?

opal sluice Feb 11, 2025, 2:18 PM

#

I could try to help work on this if you'd like

hollow mountain Feb 11, 2025, 3:45 PM

#

Yeah I can post the GitHub later today

strange prism Feb 11, 2025, 4:07 PM

#

A resouce pack cannot add shaders

#

As far as i know

#

Its probably a ton of work for little to no gain imo; i could try tho

undone salmon Feb 11, 2025, 7:14 PM

#

Applied via looking; iirc thats what i envision for most the cards. These are intentionally busted lmao

hollow mountain Feb 11, 2025, 10:34 PM

#

@undone salmon how often do you want the bubbles to spawn? currently its every 1.5 seconds a couple spawn

undone salmon Feb 12, 2025, 5:55 AM

#

Ill go ahead and look at the spawn rate they have on the player model and we can reference that :3

undone salmon Feb 12, 2025, 9:07 PM

#

It read 1,10 so i can assume its basically double what it is now

undone salmon Feb 13, 2025, 10:37 AM

#

I had a better idea for the wind aspect; just noting that its been updated.

hollow mountain Feb 14, 2025, 5:14 PM

#

Sorry for the lack of updates for the past couple days, I’ve been busy

#

I got the sea card working on other players, do you want it to be only players or entities too?

austere thistle Feb 14, 2025, 7:41 PM

a question I have, the pink color in the screen, is that a shader? im trying to do something like that but with green, yellow and red and Im a little bit very lost XD

hollow mountain Feb 14, 2025, 7:42 PM

#

austere thistle a question I have, the pink color in the screen, is that a shader? im trying to ...

That’s actually just a texture. I just used a reverse circle gradient in gimp with a 512x512 file

austere thistle Feb 14, 2025, 7:44 PM

#

oh

hollow mountain Feb 14, 2025, 7:44 PM

Then I rendered it the same way the powdered snow overlay renders

austere thistle Feb 14, 2025, 7:44 PM

well that makes sense yeah

undone salmon Feb 14, 2025, 11:52 PM

yep, both! generally when i write "target" i refer to any entity that is not the player themselves :3 also dont worry!! take ur time!!
