About this project
What does Isekai Ascension add?
Isekai Ascension
Reborn in another world? Then you deserve a cheat skill.
Shatter an **Awakening Crystal** and the world decides your fate: you awaken one of **12 Unique Skills**, each with **4 abilities**, a passive bonus and an ultimate that triggers its own anime cut-in. Every skill has hand-made visuals: magic circles, lightning, beams, domains, tornadoes, screen shake and full-screen colour shaders.
> One soul, one power. Choose wisely… or rather, let fate choose for you.
✦ Features
- **17 powers, 78 abilities.** Fire, lightning, ice, shadow armies, infinity, devouring slimes, holy swords, blood magic, wind, time manipulation, ninjutsu, dragons, and five powers with six skills and a signature mechanic each: sound magic that fights to a beat, a forest that blooms inside your enemies, a gambler whose every skill is a bet, a martial artist with a combo meter, and portals you can push anything through.
- **Cinematic awakening.** Black letterbox bars, an orbiting camera, energy spiralling into you, a climax explosion, then your power's name and emblem revealed in an isekai-style **System** window.
- **Anime ultimate cut-ins.** Casting an ultimate flashes a banner with the skill's name across your screen.
- **Custom visuals everywhere:**
- 16 custom particle types
- rotating rune magic circles (unique per power)
- jagged lightning, beams and shockwaves
- glowing energy domes, ice crystals, tornadoes and phoenix/dragon wings
- **Screen effects.** Camera shake, flashes and anime speed lines. Time Stop drains the world of colour, and the Blood Moon turns it red.
- **Isekai "System" interface:**
- a skill bar with cooldowns and a mana bar
- typed-out notification windows
- a **Status Window** (press **H**) listing your power, passive and every skill
- **Summons.** Raise horned **Shadow Knights** (custom animated model with glowing eyes and a greatsword), or create **Shadow Clones** that wear *your* skin.
- **30 original sound effects** made for the mod.
- **Grief-safe.** No skill ever breaks blocks, and skills only hurt other players when PvP is enabled on the server.

✦ Requirements
- **Minecraft 1.21.1**
- **NeoForge 21.1.265** or newer (21.1.x)
- No other dependencies.
- Install on **both the client and the server** for multiplayer.
✦ FAQ
**Can I pick my power?**
In survival the crystal chooses at random. Server operators can grant any power with /setpower.
**Can I have two powers?**
No. A soul can only hold one Unique Skill, and the crystal refuses to work if you already have one. Use a Scroll of Oblivion to reroll.
**Will skills destroy my builds?**
No. Every explosion, meteor and lightning strike is purely visual for blocks; only entities take damage.
**Does it work in PvP?**
Skills only damage other players when PvP is enabled on the server, and never affect players in creative mode.
