The Legend Of The Ten Rings: Shang Chi’s Legacy

# The Ten Rings

Ten rings. Two arms. One wielder. Become the master of the Ten Rings in Minecraft: punch, throw, whip, dash, slam and fly with ten living rings of energy that sit on your forearms, five on each arm, and answer every move you make, Play with friends, to witness the built in clash system, or duel the Your own ring rival, fitted with his own inteligent AI, that will not go easy on you. Pick your own way to use the rings, throw them, and keep your distance, or use its own custom hand to hand combat, the choice is yours

The Ten Rings is a combat mod for **Minecraft Forge 1.20.1**, built around one artifact that is fully animated, fully server-authoritative and made to look great with or without shaders.

—Finding the rings

Somewhere in the deep places of the world lies a Rift Sigil. It can turn up in Ancient City, Bastion treasure and End City chests. Use it beneath open skies, and a rift tears open: the Ten Rings pour out, circle you, and choose you. Five dock on each arm, elbow to hand, and your energy colour is set.

The rings are bound to you. Copies can’t be duplicated, lost rings can be called back with Rift Recall (**V** outside combat mode), and you can pass them on to another player with `/tenrings trust <player>`.

—Ring constructs

Master the Endless Trials and the rings learn to build the constructs

Each construct has its own health, cracks as it takes hits and shatters if broken. They unlock at wave 50 of the Endless Trials: the Ball on any difficulty, the Board on Master, the Dragon on Grandmaster.

—The Training Realm

Once the rings choose you, a portal opens into the Training Realm: your own temple courtyard on a floating mountain under a night sky. Everything you carry is kept safe and handed back when you leave.

– **The Trial of Mastery**: a guided tutorial that teaches every technique on practice targets, the straw training dummies, which flash, rock and fly when you hit them.
– **Free Training**: practice anything, anytime.
– **Endless Trials**: waves of monsters on four difficulties (Initiate, Disciple, Master, Grandmaster), with elite “ring-bound champions” and a champion boss every 50 waves. Rewards are banked as you earn them and never taken away. The trial pauses every 10 waves so you can stop safely.
– **The Altar of Vows**: kneel and swear vows (rings only, no armor, no healing…) for bigger rewards, or invite your other mods’ monsters into the waves with the Vow of Strange Foes.
– **Endless together**: invite friends into your trial from the players tab.
– **Your own island**: the Base gate leads to your own floating island in a dimension of its own, where only you can build.

—Duels and the Ring Rival

Open the **players tab** to challenge anyone in the realm to a duel with your own rules: best of 1, 3, 5 or 7 rounds, round length, the kit (rings only, iron, diamond, netherite or your own gear), totems each round, health, constructs and whip clashes on or off. Nobody dies and nothing is lost. You can also **watch** other players’ duels from the edge of their arena.

No one online? Fight the **Ring Rival**, the realm’s own ring wielder. It uses the full moveset: punches, uppercuts, throws, whips, the Dash, the Shield, the Sky Dash and the Slam. It also reads your moves, blocks, clashes whips and uses weapons, bows and potions. Choose its skill (**Novice** to **Legend**), name, ring colour, gear and the moves it may use.

### Whip clashes

When two sets of whips meet, they **lock**. The camera swings to the side and a cinematic tug of war begins: up to three exchanges of different skill checks (**mash, timing, key sequence, hold and release**), with the knot of energy racing toward whoever is losing. Win, and the loser is yanked off their feet.

—Look and feel

– Animated in the style of Wenwu in *Shang-Chi*: ring throws are straight punches, whips use a wide fighting stance, and walking and running stay vanilla.
– Hand-made pixel-art icons and items, a clean ability HUD with smooth cooldowns, and 11 energy colours plus independent rune colours.
– Effects designed for shaders: tested with **Complementary Unbound** and **BSL** through Oculus, and they look good without shaders too.
– Works with **Fresh Animations** (EMF) and **Punchy**.

—Multiplayer

Everything that matters (damage, hits, ownership, rewards) runs on the server. Rings deal less damage to players than to mobs, so PvP stays fair, and fist hits respect normal hurt immunity against players. Tested on a dedicated server with two players.

—Requirements

– Minecraft **1.20.1**
– **Forge 47.4.0** or newer
– No other mods required. Oculus, Embeddium, shader packs, Fresh Animations and Punchy are optional.

Server owners can tune damage, cooldowns, constructs, training and much more in the config, and players can adjust visuals and sound volumes in the Ten Rings menu (**K**).

This Mod is Made with the Help of AI, The Reason Ai is used is to bring this mod idea to life, if you do not support Ai, then you dont have to play the mod, sounds, and ability ideas are all my own, and this mod is inspired by Marvel’s Shang Chi.
