Craft and Equip the Stratagem Permissions !
All Stratagem Permission items are craftable. You can use a stratagem once its corresponding permission item is in your inventory.
OR!
The mod integrates with Curios so that you can also equip them in Curios slots ! I have made 10 slots for you so that you don't have worry about permission items taking up your inventory space! (even though it's just 9 stratagems now, be prepared for the future!)
Safe mode: Not destroying tiles by default
Safe Mode is enabled by default.
Explosive stratagems will not destroy blocks, allowing you to use them freely without damaging your world.
Right-click a Permission item to toggle Safe Mode.
Required mods
- Geckolib*:Required dependency for animations.
Also required to fully appreciate the democratic engineering behind the 500KG Bomb.
Melonrock's Recommended Experience!
