saintcorpse

Eight pieces of a saint are buried in eight different places — and the world was born with them already in the land.

Track them down, wear them, and stop being entirely human. Saint's Corpse is a relic hunt for Forge 1.20.1, inspired by JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 7.

Just a heads-up: this is an add-on mod made based on Roundabout: The JoJo Mod.

If you don't install the main mod beforehand, you can still play the game normally, but some content will be missing. Also, this mod has some one-way interactions with Roundabout, like The Heart being able to awaken D4C. But in reality, this feature is turned off by default because Roundabout hasn't updated D4C yet. And when it is on, awakening only ever happens on a character who has no stand at all — an existing stand is never replaced.

The hunt

Every relic structure exists from the moment the world is created — walk there and it is already standing, map or no map. All of them lie at least 20,000 blocks from world spawn (configurable), so the maps are not optional.

• Devil's Palms — two of them, hidden in desert and badlands. Brush the suspicious sand: one palm holds the heart, the other the left arm.
• The Eye Altar — a stone face on a mountain peak. The eyes sit right on its brow; one right-click each, take them off.
• The Sugar Tree — a colossal tree on snowy peaks with a spring at its heart. The man inside trades the ears and the right arm.
• The Guardian Wolf — a wolf roaming the snowy plains carries the legs.
• The Gravestone — the spine lies beneath it, in a village plains.
• Ocean ruins — shipwrecks and buried treasures hide the ribs, and only them.
  Corpse Maps turn up in any chests.
  Right-click one and it marks its target with a X — and it never points at a piece you already own. Reading a map also stops new ones from spawning for 10 minutes. While you hold a map, a white arrow above your crosshair keeps pointing the way — with the piece's name and the distance left. No waypoint mod required.
  The terrain decides the piece. If a map senses nothing nearby, it tells you which terrain to search next.
  Craft a map from an eye plus a blank map — the eye is not consumed.

The spring's price

The Sugar Tree's spring is not free — the way the manga tells it. From the moment you hold the paired ears and the right arm at the same time, the man inside the tree settles the price: someone's body begins to turn to wood, part by part — legs, then chest, then hands, then head. When the sun sets that day, the bearer becomes a wooden statue — permanently, and even /kill cannot touch it. The price is settled once per player: afterwards the mountain never bothers them again, no matter how many times the Corpse is taken apart or rebuilt. New players who pick up the parts can still be chosen.

• In single player the price is drawn at random between you and all of your tamed pets — with no pets, it is you, and a player statue dies the moment it completes. In multiplayer the nearest player pays.
• Hugh hints how it goes: "This spring rewards the honest — try casting something in…"
  As the day runs out, the bearer is quietly reminded at times 6000, 8000 and 10000 to use the parts up before sunset — and the last reminder suggests trading with someone.
• Three ways out, all instant: use a New Locacaca fruit on the statue; step into a Love Train / Sanctuary; or use the parts up — drop the ears and the right arm and let a third player pick them up.
• Eating a regular Locacaca fruit moves the wooden part to another spot on your own body (equivalent exchange), and the woodening continues from there.
• If the cure comes from a third player, the giver earns the hidden advancement One Who Dares Give Up Everything — a Bottle of Unfinished Wine (drink it for permanent Hero of the Village) and a Corpse Map.
• With FTB Teams on the server, the price always lands on a teammate of whoever traded — never merely the nearest player.

Wear them

Eight dedicated Curios slots: head, eyes, ears, heart, spine, ribs, arms and legs. Every part grants +1 heart, and left/right pieces combine into paired gear.

• Skull — Luck I, and a 20% chance to shrug off damage entirely
• Eyes — 30-block ore X-ray and permanent night vision
• Ears — nearby mobs are outlined through walls
• Heart — Regeneration I, plus 5 extra hearts
• Spine — blink to your crosshair (30 blocks, G), swim faster, and cheat death once by being flung 100+ blocks away
• Ribs — armor, knockback resistance, Resistance I and Water Breathing
• Arms — Haste I and Strength I (Strength II with both arms)
• Legs — Speed I, Jump Boost I, and you never trample farmland
  V toggles the ore X-ray, B toggles mob sensing.

Who gets to keep them？

Wearing a piece means someone can take it off you. If another player lands the killing blow, everything you are wearing drops where you fell — even with keep-inventory on.
Only the eight worn slots: your inventory, hands and offhand are untouched. A player's arrow or trident counts as the player; a wolf or a summondoes not. The pieces land with a short pickup delay, so the killer has to walk over and pick them up himself.
And the ledger does not reset. The pieces change hands, but the world still only ever holds one of each — killing for a relic does not mint a second one.

Not your game?
death.dropOnDeath in config/saintcorpse-common.toml turns the whole thing off.

The sanctuary

Assemble the parts into a corpse and place it. Inside the relic's reach, players take 80% less damage, are immune to negative effects, cannot be killed by commands, and hostile mobs neither spawn nor approach.
Crops inside the sanctuary always grow at maximum happiness — moist fertile soil, full light bonus and no same-crop penalty, no matter how you actually plant them. Only darkness still pauses growth, as in vanilla.

Lucy and Love Train

Enshrine Lucy Steele at the corpse and Love Train begins: a golden ring 50 blocks wide where nothing hostile spawns, with the light band drawn exactly on the boundary.

Compatibility

• Curios API — required. The eight slots are built on it.
• Roundabout — optional. Adds stand integration, plus the Locacaca fruit, which is the only way to end Love Train — and the way to move or cure the woodening curse.
• FTB Teams — optional. Makes the spring's price target teammates, not the nearest player.
• A config switch can hide the entire effect HUD — wearing eight permanent effects used to eat the right half of the screen; it also covers Inventory HUD+'s effects column.
• Part effects are individually configurable: night vision, jump boost, spine escape distance and cooldown, skull dodge chance, sanctuary radii, the minimum distance of the relic structures, and whether death costs you what you wear.
• Ships with English and Simplified Chinese.
  Requirements
