Welcome to Crystalide

Crystalide is a mod that currently adds items only (for now). The mod is inspired by a roleplaying game with friends, and draws from its universe.

At present, the mod introduces four unique items, with more in development.

Culpability Power (Tier 3 / Red Item)

Theme: Strength derived from guilt, kills, and the loss of allies.

Core Mechanics:

Gain +1 Culpability stack upon killing an enemy.
Each stack grants:
- +1.2% to all base stats (damage, attack speed, movement speed)
- +0.5 flat armor
- +0.1 flat health regeneration
- +0.05 flat critical strike chance
Maximum of 120 stacks per item instance.
If an ally dies:
- Lose 50% of current stacks
- Future kills grant +2 stacks per kill (instead of +1) for that stage.
All stacks reset upon the holder's death or the start of a new stage.
A buff icon visually indicates the number of Culpability stacks.

Gospel of Jealousy (Tier 2 / Green Item)

Theme: Envying and taking what others possess.

Core Mechanics:

At the start of each stage, copies 1 random item (+1 per stack) from another player's inventory.
Includes Lunar and Boss items in the copy pool.
In solo play: copies items from your own inventory instead (excluding this item).
This effect triggers only once per stage per player.

Gospel of Irresponsibility (Lunar Item)

Theme: Embracing chaos for great power, at significant risk.

Core Mechanics:

Aura of Chaos:
- Enemies within a 25m radius of the holder are buffed:
  - +50% Attack Speed
  - +50% Movement Speed
- The holder has a visual indicator for this aura.
Wealth/Poverty Bonus (requires 2+ players):
- If the holder is among the richest or poorest players (by total item count), they gain:
  - +30% critical strike chance
  - +30% critical strike damage
Low Health Attack Speed Bonus:
- While at or below 50% HP and in combat, gain +0.05 flat attack speed per second (accumulates).
- Resets when leaving combat.
- A buff icon displays the accumulated bonus.
Lunar Movement Speed Bonus:
- Gain +25% movement speed (multiplicative) per Lunar item owned by the holder, per stack of Gospel of Irresponsibility.
Proximity Damage/Armor Effect:
- Holder gains +4% total damage per nearby enemy (within 25m) per item stack.
- Simultaneously, holder loses 2 flat armor per nearby enemy per item stack.
Death Penalty:
- On death:
  - Attempt to remove 1 random Red item.
  - If unsuccessful, attempt to remove 5 random Green items.
  - If still unsuccessful, attempt to remove 10 random White items.
  - If insufficient items are removed, suffer a 30-second debuff reducing 2 random stats by 50%.

Gospel of Timidity (Tier 1 / White Item)

Theme: Vanishing in the face of danger, especially near chaotic allies.

Core Mechanics:

Every 12 seconds, become invisible and invulnerable for 2 seconds (+0.5s per additional stack, max 6s total).
If an ally holding the Gospel of Irresponsibility is nearby (within 15m), the holder of Gospel of Timidity becomes invisible (without invulnerability) as long as the main 12-second effect is not active.
- This proximity invisibility is managed by an internal, non-visible buff.

Shared Mechanic: Gospel Item Exclusivity

Players may only possess one "major" Gospel-type item at any given time. The following items are exclusive with each other:

Culpability Power
Gospel of Jealousy
Gospel of Irresponsibility

(Gospel of Timidity is not part of this exclusivity rule).

Attempting to pick up a second conflicting Gospel-type item will fail, and a chat message will inform the player of the restriction. This enforces a deliberate choice of which "Gospel" path to follow.
