# Noob Warrior **Noob Warrior** is a lightweight RPG-style ability mod for Minecraft 1.21.5 (26.1.2) that adds a mana system and unlockable combat/support abilities. It requires Fabric Loader >=0.19.3 and Fabric API. --- ## Why Install It? Vanilla combat is straightforward — left-click to attack, right-click (with a shield) to block. Noob Warrior adds **skill-based mechanics** that give you more options in combat and exploration without overhauling the entire game. Abilities are earned through gameplay, consume a resource (mana), and require timing and awareness to use effectively. It's designed to feel like a natural extension of vanilla. --- ## Mana System Every player starts with a mana pool of **5**. Key mechanics: - **Passive regen**: 1 mana per minute - **Food**: Eating any food gives 0.5–1.5 mana (based on nutrition) - **Sleep**: Waking from bed refills mana to maximum - **Max mana**: Permanently expandable by consuming Mana Ore (+5) or Purified Mana (+20) --- ## Abilities Abilities are permanent unlocks. To obtain one, enchant a book at an enchanting table (the ability enchantments appear randomly). Right-click the enchanted book to consume it and learn the ability. Cycle between your unlocked abilities with **Ctrl + Scroll Wheel** and activate with **R** (customizable in key bindings). ### Jump - **Cost**: 0.5 mana - **Effect**: Launches you 8 blocks forward and 3 blocks upward - **Restriction**: Can only be used while on the ground - **Use case**: Quick vertical mobility, escaping danger, reaching high places ### Critical Hit - **Cost**: 3 mana - **Effect**: Launches you upward, applies Strength VIII for during the ability - **Requirement**: Must be holding a sword or axe - **Restriction**: Can only be activated while airborne - **Visual**: Orange/yellow border glow appears while active - **Use case**: Powerful aerial attacks ### Mob Inspector - **Cost**: 0.1 mana per tick (while looking at a mob) - **Effect**: Displays the target mob's name, health, attack damage, and active potion effects on its name tag - **Use case**: Assessing threats, finding weakened enemies, checking ally status --- ## Items ### Mana Ore - **Recipe**: 4 diamonds (cross pattern) + 1 netherite scrap - **Effect**: Eating it permanently increases max mana by 5 - **Animation**: Standard eating animation ### Purified Mana - **Recipe**: 8 diamonds (full ring) + 1 enchanted golden apple - **Effect**: Right-click instantly consumes and permanently increases max mana by 20 - **Animation**: Custom blue soul-flame particles + totem-style item activation animation - **Note**: Does not use the eating animation — instant use ### Mana Tome - **Obtain**: Creative tab - **Effect**: Right-click opens an info screen listing all abilities with their descriptions and mana costs - **Navigation**: Arrow keys or page buttons to flip through pages ### Ability Book - **Obtain**: Enchant a book at an enchanting table - **Effect**: Right-click consumes the book and permanently grants the contained ability - **Visual**: Automatically gains a custom book model when it contains an ability enchantment --- ## HUD Elements - **Selected ability**: Displays the currently selected ability name at the bottom-right of the screen (with a semi-transparent background) - **Critical Hit overlay**: Orange/yellow border with rounded corners while critical hit mode is active --- ## Commands All commands require operator privileges: - `/ability give ` — grants an ability - `/ability remove ` — removes an ability - `/ability list ` — lists all abilities a player owns - `/mana get [player]` — shows current mana - `/mana set ` — sets mana - `/mana add ` — adds mana - `/mana-limit get [player]` — shows max mana - `/mana-limit set ` — sets max mana - `/mana-limit add ` — increases max mana --- ## Miscellaneous - **Multiplayer compatible**: All features work on dedicated servers - **Creative mode bypass**: Creative players can use abilities without consuming mana - **Abilities screen**: Accessible from the pause menu — shows owned and all available abilities - **Fabric API dependency**: Required ## Check out my other projects: [Mythralite](https://modrinth.com/mod/mythralyte) | [Housing Plus](https://modrinth.com/mod/housing-plus)
