Archaia

THIS MOD IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

Archaia is a mod created with the intent of telling a story and changing the way Minecraft works for those that are more interested in combat and world progression. It's still in its early stages of development, so there may be a few bugs or kinks every now and then, but it offers a vastly different experience from vanilla Minecraft. You will have to craft new weapons and materials, fight challenging boss fights, and explore 3 new dimensions to uncover everything this mod has to offer. Though it is intended to be experienced in singleplayer, multiplayer features do exist. If you do encounter a bug or otherwise broken feature, PLEASE do not hesitate to comment and tell me.

 Overview 

Plainsong is fallen, the Perennial Mind is gone, the gods are missing, and the universe is out of balance. Delve into a world long destroyed by the actions of those who came before you, discover crucial pieces of history and choose your own destiny, and ultimately decide the fate of the everything as you explore the world of Aamlooma, the last planet.

Archaia is intended to focus mainly on combat, lore, exploration, and occasional grinding. The mining aspect of the game is simplified greatly, and players almost never have to go mining if they don't want to. In Archaia, you will be challenged to survive in extremely hostile biomes as you scramble to gather resources and crafting materials which you will then use to take on boss fights. Progress at your own pace, check your achievements (or advancements depending on what you call them) to know where to go next, craft melee, mage, or techno weapons, and use the target dummies to test them.

 Sidenotes 

I HIGHLY recommend you play through this mod with Just Enough Items, and a mod that provides damage indicators. These mods are not required, but will save you hours of frustration when navigating long crafting chains. If you get stuck at any point in time and don't know exactly what to do, I suggest you fight the bosses in this order:

Cloud Guardian - Aerosphere
Amalgamate - Abyssal Offering
Mushroom King - Mushroom Crown
Royal Massacre - Abyssal Bone Relic
Titanium Golem - Statibot Signal Emitter
Mortis Prime - Advanced Remote
Starkrakyn - Starbit
Fallen Warden - Cosmic Energy Emitter
Cosmokrakyn - Cosmic Altar
Xarta - Fragmented Gilded Rune
Doken - Draconic Sigil
Ithar - Itharian Server Interface

If you are instead perfectly capable of navigating the aspects of Archaia and are looking for a more demanding experience, you should start your world in Hard difficulty and navigate to the "Difficulties" tab of the Utilities Menu, which can be accessed by pressing "g" on your keyboard. You may select any of the difficulties, so long as you are in hard difficulty. NOTE: Only "Legend Mode" actually affects gameplay, as "Champion Mode" and "Heir of Lasaurix" are not yet implemented and will instead do the same thing as Legend Mode. Custom difficulties only make boss fights harder and give better loot. The only other difference is the Death Gauge, which is an additional way to heal.

 Required Mods 

You must have AttributeFix, Geckolib, and Better Hurt Timer installed in your mods folder or you will be unable to play Archaia as it is intended. Make sure these mods are 1.19.2 as well.
