Features Showcase

🏛️ The Resonant Court

• Naturally generates across temperate biomes (Forests, Taiga, Plains, Meadows, Savanna).
• Features gates, corridors, side courtyards with loot chests, broken bell towers, and the central court.
• Locate the court using: /locate structure relicward:resonant_court
• Built-in arena protection prevents griefing, block breaking, or explosions from ruining the arena during combat.

🔔 Boss Encounter: Bell Warden (执钟者·玄铎)

Ring the Teaching Bell / Altar in Survival or Adventure mode (non-peaceful difficulty) to awaken the guardian:

• Two Phases: Phase 1 features sweeps, slams, ground shockwaves, and charges. Reaching 50% HP triggers a transition into Phase 2, unlocking double sweeps, resonance double-waves, and puppet reinforcements.
• Three Resonant Pillars: Each standing pillar grants 10% damage reduction (up to 30%). Bait the Warden's charge into the pillars to shatter them, triggering a 5-second Stagger window where armor is disabled and incoming damage increases!
• Shockwaves & Armor Fracture: Time your jumps to leap over advancing ground shockwaves. Getting hit inflicts Armor Fracture, temporarily lowering armor and armor toughness. Slams, charges, and shockwaves cannot be blocked by vanilla shields.
• Supergravity: Phase 2 restricts player speed, flight, and jump velocity—yet jump heights are precisely balanced so timed jumps can still dodge the shockwaves.
• Fair Drops & Retry:
  • Defeat drops include: Bell Core x1, Bronze Fragments x6–8, and Bronze Bricks x12–20 (Looting applies to fragments and bricks).
  • Eligible players automatically receive the Warden Trophy directly in their inventory on first victory (full inventory items are safely preserved and auto-delivered later).
  • 5-minute respawn cooldown, or consume 5 Bronze Fragments on the altar to immediately restart!

⚔️ Equipment & Companions

• Echo Maul: Hold right-click (0.9s windup, 0.5s downswing) to slam the ground. Deals 14 base damage in a 5-block/120° cone with 5s Armor Fracture.
• Resonant Bell: Right-click while grounded to release expanding shockwave rings (384 durability, 8s cooldown).
• Warden Shield: Instant block with zero vanilla delay. Parrying within the first 0.5s negates durability loss, clears Armor Fracture, and repels nearby attackers.
• Bell-Forged Armor: 18 armor, 4 toughness, and +20% knockback resistance for the full set. Repaired with Resonant Plates.
• Warden Pendant: Curios necklace item. Absorbs 30% damage from hits of at least 6 damage (25s cooldown).
• Bell Anvil: An unyielding bronze anvil that never breaks, wears out, or falls due to gravity.
• Court Puppet: Tame wild puppets patrolling the court using Binding Seals. Right-click with empty hands to toggle Follow / Wait, and heal them with Repair Paste.

Configuration & Commands

• config/relicward-common.toml: Customize structure generation distance (courtDistanceBlocks, default: 2000).
• config/relicward-client.toml: Toggle impact camera shake, custom boss health bar, and original battle music.
• Testing Command: /relicward place_court generates an instant court north of the player for testing.
