Sons of Sins

Sons of Sins is a modification inspired by the concept of the seven deadly sins, with particular emphasis on the original sin. The mod is based on the idea that the greatest sin is attempting to become like God by creating life through supernatural methods such as necromancy. Collect souls, organs, and blood to give life to new forms of existence. However, be cautious: experiments with occult energies come with serious risks, one of which is the appearance of the Wistiver :)

The mod adds numerous magical relics that simplify gameplay in exchange for a small amount of Ether Ash. (it's recommended to install JEI to view all recipes)

Warning: the mod contains many sounds that may be disturbing or creepy. No living creatures were harmed during the creation of Sons of Sins sound design.

At night, you have a chance to encounter a Betrayed Guzzler. This creature leaves behind a Sickle and Flesh of Demise - important items for starting the mod's progression.

During rituals, you may encounter dangerous creatures (especially if you enjoy swimming in blood). They can be summoned intentionally by sacrificing 1 to 7 villagers in blood. Each of these creatures represents one of the seven deadly sins and has unique behavior:

• Wistiver (Gluttony - its attack and health increase with each victim killed, its thirst for power is insatiable)
• Walking Bed (Sloth - slow creature whose attack sends you into an aerial dance, giving it time to rest)
• Prowler (Pride - relentlessly pursues its victim, possesses high speed, weak but agile)
• Kelvin (Envy - out of jealousy towards its brothers, created a cybernetic prosthesis that only slows it down)
• Curse (Lust - avoids physical attacks, preferring to observe you from above)
• Blüd (Greed - never leaves its puddle, but is the most resilient creature, attacks with clots of blood)
• Butcher (Wrath - unlike others, it doesn't seek to purify the world but craves revenge)

After defeating each sin creature, you receive a unique relic: Wistiver's Jaws (strengthen with each strike), Puppet of Strife (uses organ abilities), Hand of Riot (makes enemies attack each other), Ether Engine (corrupts pure souls), Cursed Head (removes armor from enemies), Touch of Greed (sinks enemies into the ground), and Butcher Cleaver (the lower your health, the stronger the attack).

The mod adds bone tools that are easy to craft (bones and strings). These tools absorb part of the soul of killed mobs in the form of Ether Ash. The amount of ash depends on the health of the killed creature (Chicken: 1 ash, Iron Golem: 10 ash, Wistiver: 86 ash).

From iron and Ether Ash, you can create an alloy called Soul Steel. This metal is used in many of the mod's recipes and allows you to create extremely durable blocks that can withstand the Wither's most powerful attacks.

The new tool - Sickle of Struggle - allows for rapid attacks (at the cost of a small amount of hunger) and collecting blood in glass bottles. Blood can be mixed with ash in a bucket to create a healing bucket of blood.

Blood tools are bone tools thrown into blood. They have low durability but are very effective and powerful. Every 15 seconds, a blood tool restores its durability by consuming your hunger bar (similar to the Mending enchantment).

Using the sickle, you can extract organs from killed enemies (flesh, muscles, ribs, or hearts). Some mobs have special organs with unique abilities. Eating organs temporarily grants you these abilities:

• Regular organs provide the "Allure" effect (attracts monster attention, protecting allies)
• Creeper Ribs provide the "Last Breath" effect (explosion upon death by another creature)
• Enderman Muscles provide the "Instinct" effect (teleportation when attacked with slight damage reduction)
• Blazing Heart provides the "Boiling" effect (periodically creates a steam cloud that repels and ignites enemies; in rain or water, the cloud remains around you)
• Golem Cuirass cannot be eaten (but provides Resistance II and immunity to fall damage)

From collected organs and flesh, you can create a Flesh Carcass. Inside it, you can place chosen organs, Ether Ash, and a Bottle of Blood. Then the carcass must be thrown into a pool of blood to give it life.

After completing the ritual, a Gublèr will emerge from the fluid, bonding with the nearest player and gaining abilities corresponding to the inserted organs.

The type of blood used when creating the Flesh Carcass determines the form and abilities of your Gublèr:

• Blood of bipedal creatures (players, villagers, zombies) creates a fast and resilient companion
• Blood of winged creatures (bats, phantoms) allows it to fly and restore health by biting enemies
• Blood of aquatic creatures (guardians, dolphins, fish) grants swimming ability and ignores attack cooldown
• Blood of large creatures (ravagers, hoglins) turns it into an all-terrain mount that crushes enemies

To convert Ether Ash into useful energy, Crystallized Ether is required (obtained by throwing 16 units of ash into a pool of blood). Many of the mod's relics require ether to function. Ash can be stored in an Urn (the spiral in the center shows the fill level).

Ether Sword is a light weapon that restores part of the enemy's health with each strike (from 1 to 3 half hearts).

Shape-Shifting Tool is a relic that changes form depending on the block being mined. It can destroy any type of block (stone, sand, wood, clay, etc.).

Remnant's Armor is the most useful relic against the embodiments of the seven deadly sins. It withstands the most powerful attacks from these creatures, distributing damage among armor pieces, but doesn't make you invincible :)
