Elemental Essences Mod 1.7.10

What Is Elemental Essences?
Elemental Essences has been my first experience with modding Minecraft, and as such, the features currently in this mod are not the most interesting features. This will change in time as I learn more about modding and about Java, as I have big plans for the mod which will be outlined in a spoiler at the end of this post. The basic concept of this mod is to demonstrated the interconnectedness of everything, as well as the influence ones mind has on their perception of reality, and by extension, reality itself. This concept is popularized by many philosophies and religious believes, and I intend to incorporate them into the mod, and create a very interesting perspective on their prospects.
Currently the main feature that this mod provides is through crafting recipes. Similar to Magical Crops in that you can create Minecraft resources by crafting modded resources into vanilla ones, however in an effort to deviate slightly until I have to modding knowledge to deviate further, ores instead of crops are used. These ores, can, through a series of refinement processes, be converted into any Minecraft resource. This is a simple feature that was very easy to implement and provides a backbone for me to work on new features.
Getting Started
Ores
ShowSelect |
|
In the world you will find 4 new ores added to the game:

Mundane Ore

Sodden Ore

Blazing Ore

Celestial Ore

Scrolls
ShowSelect |
|
When you find dungeons in the world, inside dungeon chests you may stumble upon an item called Thoth’s Divine Wisdom. This item will be very useful for this mod, however it is only used to get one of 5 scrolls.

Thoth’s Divine Wisdom
In order to get the first 4 Items or Legends, you simply need to right click the scroll. This will randomly return one of 4 legends, The legend of Geb, The legend of Mazu, The legend of Kali, or the legend of Izanagi.

These will be useful later on. The fifth scroll requires you to keep one Thoth’s Divine Wisdom, and use the runes you craft with the other legends to create the legend of Annunaki. The runes used to craft this will be explained later.

Crafting recipe for the legend of Annunaki.

Smelting

|
In order to refine these ores you first have to smelt them. This will give you their respective essences.

Essence of the Mundane

Essence of the Torrent

Essence of the Damned
Essence of the Divine

Essence Use
ShowSelect |
|
Essence has the primary use of being refined into runes which are used for most of the crafting in this mod, however it does have some uses outside of that.
One Essence of the Mundane in a crafting bench will yield 32 cobblestone.
One Essence of the Torrent in a crafting bench will yield 8 dirt.
One Essence of the Damned in a crafting bench will yield 16 netherrack.
One Essence of the Divine in a crafting bench will yield 8 sand
The essences can also be used to make 4 new decorative blocks, and 4 brick variations.

Mundane Stone and Sodden Stone

Blazing Stone and Celestial Stone.
The brick variants are crafted just like you would craft stone bricks.
To craft the next tier of Essence, or Runes, you will need 4 of the respective essence and the Legend of either Geb for earth, Mazu for water, Kali for fire, or Izanagi for air. This uses up the essence, however the legends do not get used up.

Crafting With Runes
ShowSelect |
|
NEI is a dependency for this mod, just because I haven’t implemented the code that assigns a mob to a spawner, this code is in NEI and will allow the mod to function fully. Besides that, it will be extremely useful because at present the majority of this mod is crafting recipes. In order to craft Minecraft resources using Elemental Essences, you need a rune of a specific deity, and another item to transmute. NEI should provide ample information on how to craft these blocks and items.
|
Crops
ShowSelect |
|
Currently these crops only are used to create a food item, however they will have many more uses as the mod develops.
There are 4 crops: Bodhi Crop, Rose Crop, Lotus Crop, and Cherry Blossom Crop. Their seeds are crafted with a rune and a seed.
Bodhi Seed = Rune of Geb + Seed
Rose Seed = Rune of Kali + Seed
Lotus Seed = Rune of Mazu + Seed
Cherry Blossom Seed = Rune of Izanagi + Seed
Once Planted They will grow on grass and dirt, and only during the day. They can be bone-mealed and have 4 growth stages.
They drop Bodhi Twig, Lotus Flower, Rose, and Cherry Blossom

They Can be crafted together to create Psychedelic Soup, which is a very good food that also gives you regeneration 1 and Strength 1.

Creating a Wither Spawner in Survival!
ShowSelect |
|
I have implemented an expensive recipe to create a Staff of Anarchy, a staff that when right clicked, transforms into a wither spawner. The spawner will eventually be a custom spawner, that can be controlled with a redstone signal, and the nether stars that are produced will be useful in this mod, and will be used quite heavily. To craft the Staff of Anarchy you will have to craft a few other Items.

Recipe for Rune of Annunaki. Recipe for Eye of Odin, and finally a recipe for The Staff Of Anarchy.
As dragon eggs are a one time item I have created a recipe to duplicate the Dragon Egg. Make sure you don’t use the last one though!

Along with the Wither Spawner, I have created blocks that are essentially wither-proof, however they can still be broken by a diamond pickaxe or higher.

This created a preservation stone. 4 of these in a brick pattern create a preservation brick, which has the same properties as the preservation stone, just a different texture.
These blocks can also be converted into Preserved Mundane Stone and bricks, Preserved Sodden Stone and bricks, Preserved Damned Stone and bricks, and Preserved Celestial Stone and bricks, which are essentially all preservation stones with different textures.
