LATEST MAJOR UPDATE - 30 Jul 2026

Version 2.2.0 - The Deep, Sandevistan and much more! Huge reworks for most supes and time control


fabric curseforge discord-plural modrinth-gallery

Dependencies:

  • Fabric API (duh)
  • PlayerAnimator
  • LambDynamicLights (You don't actually need this, but the visuals will look very half-baked without it!!)
  • SatinAPI NOW MANDATORY!!!

Forge version?

Forge port is planned, but not until the mod has most of the planned mechanics/powers/features already implemented.

As for now, sinytra connector is usable, but only with a special modified jar for version 2.2.1.
You can download the jar in the Discord.
Simply navigate to the #forge channel and follow instructions.
Do know that there are many bugs in this sinytra-compatible version and I dont intend to support this band-aid solution that much.


This mod adds Compound V and it's variants to the game.
Drink the V and gain a random power. Most powers are completely overpowered, and have an active ability.
All powers also give you varying levels of resistance, strength and regeneration. For example, becoming Homelander will give you a resistance IV effect, which is 80% damage reduction. Broken, yes I hear you, but balancing is a nightmare and the mod is still freshly made!

Admin commands:

/grantpower - Set any player's power to specified one.

/compound - edit configs of different powers or just the mod's in general.

  • /compound activePower - see current active powers of players and/or set new ones.

/badomen - Curse a player to prohibit them from entering seas and oceans. /souls - give a soul orb of a mob

/compound reset - Reset all configurations for the mod back to default.


Custom Features:

  • Custom Flight System
    • Creative Flight, but sprint is replaced by a faster, more immersive flight.
  • Energy System
    • A lot of supes have a special energy bar. Using abilities will spend energy.
      • Energy recharges automatically when idling.
      • Some supes have special energy systems, e.g. A-Train's energy is just a second hunger bar and Blood Manipulation users use blood dropped from entities.
  • Customization
    • A built in HUD editor that lets you re-arrange and resize the UI elements of the mod.
    • In-game menu where you can change the order of your abilities, their keybind and learn what they do.
  • Beam Clashes!
    • When two lasers meet, they will enter a beam clash. The stronger laser will push the weaker one back, eventually exploding at the end.
    • Equal beams do a stalemate and explode in the center of the distance between 2 players.
    • Granite Charged Shot can only participate in beam clashing with another Granite Charged. Trying to beam clash with any other laser will result in total defeat.
  • Gaining an ability will make you be unable to control it for a few seconds. Be careful!
  • V toxicity and V amount! Dying will cause you to lose 10% of your V in your blood, losing all will depower you! You can regain it by drinking more V, but be careful! Drinking V24 or the Ruined V will cause you to build up V Toxicity, which at higher stages will seriously debuff you. You can lose V Toxicity by either dying or drinking Anti V.
  • Time Control! Currently only A-Train can slow down time, but for fun there is a testing clock ingame to test out time slow/stop capabilities of the mod.

Current roster of Powers:

Spoiler

All supes get 4 abilities each, with some exceptions (depending on how unique the power is)
And they all do pretty much what you think they can do.

  • Homelander
  • A-Train
  • Stormfront
  • Queen Maeve
  • Oh Father
  • Starlight
  • Soldier Boy
  • The Deep
  • Butcher
  • Black Noir
  • Kimiko
  • Blood Manipulation
  • Translucent
  • Hughie
  • Malchemical
  • Lamplighter
  • Intangibility
  • Firecracker
  • Harper
  • Love Sausage
  • Jetstreak
  • Guest Ability: Granite Blast
  • Guest Ability: Necromancer

How to Obtain Compound V?

Typing it out and adding images is tedious, here is a big image instead:

infographic or something

What about V-One and Anti V? What the hell is a Horrible-Looking Mixture?

  • You get V-One from Ancient Cities, End Ships and Bastion Treasure. It is however extremely rare.
  • Anti V is brewed with a wither rose. Use it to remove your active power and reduce your V toxicity.
  • You make Godolkin Virus with the Horrible-Looking Mixture. It temporarily disables powers of the supes. Make sure to add redstone and gunpowder.

There are more items in the mod, but they aren't important here. You can always get a Guidebook in-game for everything after crafting the Compound Catalyst.
