About this project

What does SpireCore add?

Spire Core

A spire rises at the centre of your world. A hundred floors. Only one way to see the end: climb. Une tour se dresse au centre de ton monde. Cent étages. Une seule façon d'en voir le bout : monter.


🇬🇧 English

Spire Core adds a giant spire to Minecraft, built automatically at world spawn, and a full progression to climb it. It works on its own, in any world, and is also the heart of the Rise of the Spire modpack.

What the mod adds

  • 🗼 A spire choice screen on first launch (8 spires planned; the Clock is playable).
  • 🧩 100 floors in the spire's own dimension, each with a holographic riddle and hints that appear over time.
  • 🎯 8 trials, randomised per world and harder as you climb: the Dial and its hands, the pendulum bridge, the chasm and its second hands, the chimes, the memory path, the lever race, the gears, the machine room (with Create).
  • 👑 10 animated guardians (GeckoLib), with their own attacks and an enraged phase.
  • 🔮 The Runic Stone to travel between sanctuaries, and a way down on every floor.
  • ❄️ A frozen world around the spire: creatures stand still and you cannot leave the circle, which grows with every floor and vanishes at the summit.
  • 🎁 Reward chests per stratum (loot mods add their items).
  • 🏆 10 stratum advancements, one per guardian defeated.
  • 🌅 A summit, end credits, then Ascension: the same spire, harder.
  • 🛡️ The spire is protected: no breaking or placing blocks inside, no structures generated around it.

Compatibility

  • GeckoLib (required): the guardians.
  • Create (recommended): animated decor, machines and a dedicated trial. Without Create, the mod uses vanilla blocks and adapted riddles.
  • The Forgotten Gates (optional): the mods of your choice unlock stratum by stratum, set in config/spire_core_gates.json.
  • Decor also uses blocks from Farmer's Delight, Iron's Spells, Apotheosis, Sophisticated Storage, Biomes O' Plenty… when installed, otherwise vanilla equivalents.

Commands (operators)

/spire floor <n>, /spire info, /spire boss, /spire summit, /spire rebuild <n>…

🇫🇷 Français

Spire Core ajoute à Minecraft une tour géante, construite automatiquement au point d'apparition, et une progression complète pour la gravir. Il fonctionne seul, dans n'importe quel monde, et sert aussi de cœur au modpack Rise of the Spire.

Ce que le mod ajoute

  • 🗼 Un écran de choix de la tour au premier lancement (8 tours prévues ; l'Horloge est jouable).
  • 🧩 100 étages dans une dimension propre à la tour, chacun avec une énigme en hologramme et des indices qui apparaissent au fil du temps.
  • 🎯 8 épreuves, tirées au hasard dans chaque monde et plus dures en montant : le Cadran et ses aiguilles, le pont des balanciers, le gouffre et ses trotteuses, le carillon, le chemin de mémoire, la course des leviers, les rouages, la salle des machines (avec Create).
  • 👑 10 gardiens animés (GeckoLib), avec leurs attaques et leur phase de rage.
  • 🔮 La Pierre Runique pour voyager entre les sanctuaires, et une descente à chaque étage.
  • ❄️ Un monde figé autour de la tour : les créatures sont immobiles et l'on ne peut pas sortir du cercle, qui s'agrandit à chaque étage et disparaît au sommet.
  • 🎁 Des coffres de récompense par strate (les mods de butin y ajoutent leurs objets).
  • 🏆 10 succès de strate, un par gardien vaincu.
  • 🌅 Un sommet, un générique de fin, puis l'Ascension : la même tour, en plus dur.
  • 🛡️ La tour est protégée : impossible d'y casser ou d'y poser des blocs, pas de structures générées tout autour.

Compatibilité

  • GeckoLib (obligatoire) : les gardiens.
  • Create (conseillé) : décors animés, machines et une épreuve dédiée. Sans Create, le mod utilise des blocs vanilla et des énigmes adaptées.
  • The Forgotten Gates (facultatif) : les mods de ton choix se débloquent strate par strate, réglés dans config/spire_core_gates.json.
  • Les décors utilisent aussi les blocs de Farmer's Delight, Iron's Spells, Apotheosis, Sophisticated Storage, Biomes O' Plenty… s'ils sont installés, sinon des équivalents vanilla.
