TEMPORARILY BROKEN -- Graves - Prayer & Dread, Buffs & Debuffs

Create intact and broken gravestones to give your character buffs and debuffs

***************************************

Hi all. My newest mod will add a feature that was fundamental to the world of any Medieval person: How to memorialize life and respect death.

I have begun with a large set of over a dozen different grave stones, wooden markers, and ornate sarcophagi. Many can be inscribed. Many have “intact” and “desecrated/broken” variants. In Creative mode, they’re just a fun way to add something new to your worlds.

In Survival they get interesting! Because, as was believed in Medieval times, where you place your gravestone affects what that stone does to you. This mod also introduces a new voxel, “Hallowed Ground.” You can make a waterskin of Holy Water in your personal inventory, and use it just like a plow to turn any soft ground into a nice large patch of Hallowed Ground (pretty flowers, low grass). If you then place a gravestone on the Hallowed Ground, standing next to it for 10-15 seconds will give you a long buff to many of your stats and abilities. Regular stones give a small buff; sarcophagi give you a pretty intense buff. (Placing an intact grave on regular ground has no effect.)

Praying at sarcophagus:
1.25 run speed, 1.25 tool & weapon speed, 80% food-use reduction. Lasts 6 minutes.
Reflecting at gravestone:
1.15 tool & weapon speed, 30% food-use reduction. Lasts 3 minutes.

But there’s more! If you place a broken stone or sarcophagus on ANY ground that is not Hallowed Ground, that stone will instantly start debuffing you. It will drain your vigor, and the sarcophagus will even cloud your vision permanently until you find a healthy cemetery to “cleanse” at. (Placing a broken stone on Hallowed Ground has no effect.)

In Medieval times, belief in angels & demons was a core part of life. Praying at a beautiful hallowed space would fill a person with a sense of grace; stumbling upon a desecrated site would fill them with dread. Now you can bring that aspect of Medieval life to your Survival builds!

Gravestones are made on the crafting table. Simple ones take just a minute. Ornate sarcophagi take 30 minutes.

I also have added wrought-iron fencing to the Iron Bars mod, and a working small-block wrought-iron gateway in the Small-Block Doors mod. So you can make a full, proper graveyard if you'd like.

I hope you enjoy this. This mod is only possible because of Equinox’s “Voxel Power” script, and Mirzipan’s Voxel-altering script. Big thanks to them!
