Welcome to Crystalide

Crystalide is a mod that currently adds items only (for now). The mod is inspired by a roleplaying game with friends, and draws from its universe.

At present, the mod introduces three unique items, with more in development.

Culpability Power (Tier 3 / Red Item)

Theme: Strength derived from guilt, kills, and the loss of allies.

Core Mechanics:

• Gain a Culpability stack each time you kill an enemy.

• Each stack slightly increases your base stats (damage, attack speed, movement speed) and critical strike chance.

• Stacks are capped per item.

• If an ally dies:

  • You lose a portion of your current stacks.
  • Future kills grant double stacks.

• All stacks reset when you die or enter a new stage.

• A visual icon indicates how many stacks you've accumulated.

Gospel of Jealousy (Tier 2 / Green Item)

Theme: Envying and taking what others possess.

Core Mechanics:

• At the start of each stage, copies a random item from another player’s inventory.
• Gains more copied items with additional stacks of this item.
• In solo play: items are copied from your own inventory (excluding this one).
• Items with higher quantities are more likely to be chosen.
• This effect only triggers once per stage.

Gospel of Irresponsibility (Lunar Item)

Theme: Embracing chaos for great power, at significant risk.

Core Mechanics:

• Friendly fire is activated when multiple players are present.

• If the holder has the most or fewest total items among all players:

  • They gain a significant bonus to critical strike chance and damage.

• When under 50% health, gain increasing attack speed the longer you stay in combat.

• Movement speed is boosted for every Lunar item you carry.

• When surrounded by enemies:

  • Gain bonus damage, but lose armor proportionally.

• Upon death, the holder suffers a penalty:

  • Items from higher tiers are removed first.
  • If not enough items can be removed, the player receives a temporary debuff affecting random stats.

Shared Mechanic: Gospel Item Exclusivity

Players may only possess one Gospel-type item at any given time. The following items are exclusive:

• Culpability Power
• Gospel of Jealousy
• Gospel of Irresponsibility

Attempting to pick up a second Gospel-type item will fail, and a message will appear to notify the player. This enforces a deliberate choice of which "Gospel" path to follow.

🚧 Development Notice

The mod is still in active development. It may contain bugs or exhibit unintended behavior.
