Features Summary

13 Elemental Combat Staves & Netherite Upgrades

• Mob & World Identities: Cast fireballs (Inferno Rod, Ghastfire Staff), continuous water beams that scale with user Max HP (Guardian Lens), freezing orbs (Frostbolt Wand), targeted lightning streams (Arc Caster), sonic booms (Resonant Echo), homing bolts (Shulker Seeker), dragon clouds (Dragonfire Scepter), wither skulls (Wither Scepter), toxic webs (Webcaster), wind blasts (Wind Staff, backported with Wind Charges to Forge 1.20.1), and defensive taunting constructs (Evoker Fang Staff).
• Omni Staff: Fires homing crystal orbs that auto-select the optimal reaction against your target's active aura, or press <kbd>R</kbd> / <kbd>Tab</kbd> to open the radial wheel and lock a specific element manually.
• Vanilla Progression: Powered by vanilla durability and cooldowns, enchantable with Elemental Mastery I–III, repairable in an Anvil with matching Elemental Essences, and upgradeable to Netherite via the Smithing Table.

Elemental Reaction System (EGT)

• 7 Elements (+ Omni): Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, Electro, and Dendro linger as Auras (1U–3U gauges with natural decay and standard ICD), while Anemo and Geo act as universal Triggers.
• 20 Combat Reactions: Trigger Vaporize / Melt (x1.5 / x2.0), Overloaded, Superconduct, Frozen & Shatter, Electro-Charged, Burning, Quicken / Aggravate / Spread, Bloom / Hyperbloom / Burgeon (physical 3D Dendro Cores), Overvape, Swirl, and Crystallize (orbiting elemental shield shards).

Imbued Swords, Resonances & 4-Staff Cap

• Element-Imbued Swords: Combine any sword with an Elemental Essence in an Anvil to apply 1.0U on full-strength swings (>= 90% charge) while keeping existing enchantments.
• 8 Elemental Resonances: Carry matching element pairs (or 4 distinct elements for Protective Canopy) in your inventory for passive combat buffs, balanced by the 4-Staff Cap (Arcane Overload).

Living Environment & Smart Mob Ecosystem

• Interactive Blocks & Weather: Water/rain applies Hydro and conducts Electro; Redstone, Amethyst, Sculk Sensors, and Tesla Coils (Lightning Rod atop a Redstone Block) emit Electro arcs; Fire/Magma, Powder Snow, Mushrooms/Slime/Honey, and Pointed Dripstone interact directly with combat.
• Innate & Mutated Mobs: Creatures carry natural elemental affinities and resistances (configurable mutation rates in TOML, including dual-element Charged Mutated Creepers) plus pathfinding hazard avoidance (8.0F weight) so mobs avoid stepping onto harmful aura blocks unless forced.

Codex, Artifacts & Compatibility

• In-Game Guidebook & HUD: Includes the interactive 9-tab Elemental Codex (9 languages), 3D floating damage & reaction popups, overhead aura icons, JEI integration, Jade / WAILA tooltips, and 11 custom Advancements.
• Utility Artifacts: Void Translocator (safe blink teleportation with zero fall damage) and Magic Mirror (instant recall to bed/spawn, cross-dimensional on Netherite).
