The Divine Touch Midas' Curse Add-on (1.21.20+) V1.1 | Quality Update!

Experience the legendary curse of King Midas in Minecraft with The Divine Touch Midas' Curse addon. Transform the world around you into gold, face unique challenges, and embark on an epic quest to break the golden curse. This addon introduces a thrilling new gameplay mechanic that will test your survival skills and strategy like never before.

The Divine Touch Midas' Curse addon brings the mythical Midas touch to the world of Minecraft, offering players a unique and challenging experience. Here are the key features:

1. Midas Touch Mechanic:

The Midas touch effect transforms blocks around the player into gold. Here's how it works:

Vertical Effect (Y-axis):

• 1 block below the player's feet
• 1 block above the player's head
• 2 blocks occupied by the player's body (feet level and head level)

Total vertical range: 4 blocks

Horizontal Effect (X and Z axes):

• 8 blocks surrounding the player (north, south, east, west)

Total horizontal range: 8 blocks

Schematic representation (player represented by '@'):

'G' represents blocks turned to gold, '-' represents unaffected blocks.

Total affected blocks: 12 (if transformable)

Detailed breakdown:

• 1 block beneath the player
• 1 block above the player
• 4 blocks at the player's feet level (sides)
• 4 blocks at the player's head level (sides)
• 2 blocks occupied by the player (feet and head levels)

Important notes:

1. Blocks occupied by the player are also transformed. This is usually unnoticeable for solid blocks but becomes apparent for passable blocks like bushes.
2. Side blocks of passable objects (bushes, tall grass, etc.) are affected, as the player is considered to be "touching" them while passing through.
3. The effect area updates constantly as the player moves.
4. Diagonal blocks are not affected; only directly touched blocks transform.
5. Thin blocks, such as grass, fences or glass panes, are transformed into yellow stained glass panes instead of solid gold blocks. This maintains the thin nature of these blocks while still applying the Midas touch effect.

2. Special Items:

a) The Divine Seal: Permanently disables the Midas effect when equipped in the first inventory slot.

• Usage: To seal Midas' touch, place The Divine Seal in the first inventory slot (left hand). To unseal, simply remove it from this slot.

Crafting Recipe:

• 1 Nether Star (center)
• 1 Redstone Block (top center)
• 1 Dragon Egg (bottom center)

b) Midas Respite Pearl: Temporarily suspends the Midas effect for 10 seconds when used.

• Usage: Eat to activate the pearl's effect. A countdown timer will appear on screen. (10sec)

Crafting Recipe:

• 1 Totem of Undying (center)
• 2 Wind Charges (top and bottom center)
• 2 Ender Pearls (middle left and right)

3. Visual and Audio Effects: Gold transformation is accompanied by particle effects and sound cues, enhancing immersion.

Visual Effect: Golden Rain

4. Strategic Gameplay: Players must creatively manage resources and progression in a constantly changing golden world.

5. Unique Challenge: The addon adds a new layer of difficulty to standard Minecraft, requiring players to balance their Midas power with survival needs.

Story: Midas' Redemption

You awaken as a hero under divine punishment, your touch turning everything to gold - both a gift and a curse. As you learn to navigate this golden Minecraft world, whispers of salvation reach your ears: the legendary "Divine Seal" holds the key to your freedom.

Your journey challenges you with Minecraft's toughest trials. Surviving in a world of gold requires all your skills in resource management and progression. You delve into the Nether's depths, explore ancient ruins, and finally reach The End.

Here, your ultimate test awaits: the Ender Dragon. Defeating this legendary creature is not just about completing Minecraft, but also about obtaining the key to breaking your curse. After vanquishing the dragon, you claim the precious Dragon Egg - the final component for creating The Divine Seal.

With The Divine Seal in hand, you now hold the power to change your fate. By placing this sacred item in your left hand, you seal away the Midas touch, not only completing the game but also freeing your character from the curse.

The Divine Touch 'Midas' addon offers players a profound sense of accomplishment at the journey's end. Having conquered a world under the golden curse, overcome the most challenging obstacles, and finally gained your freedom, you become a true Minecraft legend.

This addon redefines the classic Minecraft formula, offering both experienced players a fresh challenge and newcomers a unique adventure. Will you succumb to the golden curse, or rise to become the master of your own fate in this shimmering realm?
