The Philosopher's Stone

Description
Works well with my Trinket Stacking+ mod, which give more unique effects to golden trinkets!

The Philosopher's stone is a new active item in the shop item pool that can be used 3 times. Upon use, it will turn some of the pickups on the ground into their golden variants! This includes coins, keys, bombs, pills, batteries, chests, trinkets, and trollbombs! It will also temporarily freeze enemies in the room into golden statues. Use it wisely, as it can only be used 3 times, and costs 20 coins to buy instead of the usual 15.

Now includes a new Challenge: "Gold Rush!", which gives you a 6 room charge Philosopher Stone that can be used an infinite amount of times

Note: The item will turn pickups into gold even if you don't have the golden pickup unlocked. For example, hearts will still be converted into golden hearts even if you dont have challenge #21 completed
Update!
  • Now has Mod Config Menu support to edit the number of uses
  • Fixed the challenge not always giving you the Stone, and made the challenge coop compatible
Item Conversions
You can even convert some item pedestals into their golden counterparts. This includes
  • Iron Bar ->Midas touch
  • Razor -> Golden razor
  • Teleport -> Teleport 2.0
  • Circle of protection -> Dad's ring
  • Brother bobby -> King baby
  • Latch key -> Mom's key
  • There's options -> More options
  • Options? -> More options

How to edit the number of uses
  • Option 1: Use Mod Config Menu, and edit the Max Uses under "Philospher Stone"
  • Option 2: Edit the "MaxUses" in data/philosophersstone/save(saveNumber).dat (the save file will only appear after starting a run and exiting to the menu) The value must be 0,1,2, or 3. Setting it to 0 will give it infinite uses
Compatibility
  • Has Extenal Item Descriptions support
  • Has Mod Config Menu support
Known Bugs/Issues:
*Sucking it up with void instantly uses it

Love it, amazing idea for a mod <3
but PLEASE make it so that it turns regular cards into their tarot cloth empowered versions 🙏

@WarlockArcher that's a good idea

maybe the custom wisp would apply a midas touch affect to enemies that come in contact with the wisp

@WarlockArcher I did not add a custom book of virtues wisp, so it probably just gives you a basic blue wisp or none at all

how does this work with the book of virtues?

@jnadler this mod is repentance only

repentance?

@ToasterJosh sooo sorry about that and ty for the help, I really messed up some of the logic last update, just pushed a new update to fix it.

Also if anyone is interested, I'm trying to get some feedback on how I should release future mods, it would be helpful if anyone wants to fill out this quick google survey, its only 3 questions https://forms.gle/2Sif4Fn5WWoheim4A

Seems to be broken at the moment? Every time I have bought it in the shop so far it's been infinite-use instead of breaking after 3 times. The sprite doesn't even "change" to show that it is breaking/cracking on use. I've tried changing it's max uses in the mod config menu but that also doesn't change anything. When using the Dev Console to give myself the stone, only the 2nd and 3rd stage of the stone seem to work correctly.
example:
giveitem c732 (Broken, never actually deteriorates after use)
giveitem c731 (works as intended, progresses to 3rd stage)
giveitem c730 (works as intended, deletes itself on use)
Hope this helps, that is if this isn't just a problem caused by something on my end. If it is feel free to call me an idiot and ignore me.
