Aw, shame that is.
Thanks for respondin' back at least. :)

Nothing I can really do about that unfortunately, this seems to be an issue with tModloader rather than any individual mod. Why TML wouldn't sync configs to the host is beyond me.

Love usin' this mod. But it seems that unless I tell the other players to change their config to match mine they cannot join a world.
The config is small and it is an easy fix to guide people towards, but is there a way to have the server's configs take president and override or allow players with miss-matched numbers to join in so that I don't have to instruct each person to change configs before play for hostin' a server? :p

The bestiary shows the odds of shards dropping, but if you mean a way to calculate how rare the shards will be when you configure the amount needed for a full crystal, I can add that quite easily, it just won't be dynamic (meaning you'll have to do the math yourself, but it'd be better than nothing)

Do you think you could display the drop chance in-game? Messing around in the config I was worried that the shards were not dropped by enemies, so I think it'd be neat if the drop chance was at least displayed in there to let players know enemies can drop the shards and with whatever the odds are from the shards per crystal selected. (I'm not asking to be able to configure it, I just want to see it in the config so I can easily view the odds)

It does, in fact

Does this affect life crystal boulders?

I could def make that a config option, not a bad suggestion. There's a few complications I can see myself running into but otherwise it's doable.

Is it possible for this mod to alter Life Crystal recipes to instead give Shards of Life? One of the mods i have installed (Thorium) adds in a recipe that allows Life Quartz to be crafted into Life Crystals, and because the amount of Life Quartz required to craft it is so low it makes it easier to obtain & kinda defeats the purpose of this mod

Actually, this combined with https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3247893611 Slowly Lose Max HP by First Fractal will be monstrous. Welcome to torture-ville.

you torture meee...

thank you for giving me a suffering mod for my modpack

Oh well, It was a good idea that I as proud off.

Gonna shut you down right there, the way you obtain mana crystals is a lot different from life crystals, so I don't really see a reason to have a mod like that for mana.

A idea comes to mind. If combined with this mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3123513619&searchtext=mana we would have Shards of Mama, with vanilla mana crystal crafting recipe disabled. This would make a big impact on the gameplay.

works well with remnants where there's at least 4 life crystals on every screen for some reason

Thanks, but i dont wanna waste another 10 hours just to find enough material for one section of my area. I have 10 hours building it already, because i also wanna to make it look kind of cool!

tryhard battlefield builders when the heart lantern becomes x4 as expensive

Oh yeah in my experience 4 shards per life crystal is quite a lot even in singleplayer, feel free to set it to a lower requirement if you want, though do note that doing so will make enemy shard drops rarer.

Probably something someone else will have to do. If you're looking for a Dark Souls fix, The Story of Red Cloud exists, though it hasn't been ported to 1.4.4, still waiting for that myself...

Actually a mod that reworked the player to have Darksouls-like stat bonuses would be really cool, especially if came with a change to dropping currency on death with it

It's just like Dark Souls Zelda

so like, zelda

zelda ocarina of time be like:

Earlier comment already stated my "Legend of Zelda" comparison

Sounds cool

Please support Life Crystal Boulder

Because I could, honestly I wasn't expecting this to get as popular as it did, it was one of those one-off ideas I had one day

why

This is basically the life heart system from Legend of Zelda.
Nice, going into my mod active list.

finally! a mod to keep people from getting 400hp their second boss fight

Simple & effective! The abundance of life crystals always bothered me because you can cap out 400 health long before you enter hardmore. Thanks for this!

Looking into it more, yeah no idea how I'd conceivably modify a sequential item drop rule. The people who actually fish for life crystals are spared for now.

That said, you do have a point. I didn't touch golden crates because I couldn't be bothered changing its loot table.

Only a fool would resort to fishing, a naive fool indeed, for life crystals are a 1-in-8 drop from golden crates, which in themselves are exceptionally rare.

And then golden crates happened
