Blessed by Gems

📘 Overview

Blessed by Gems is an RPG-style progression mode that allows players to obtain powerful potion effects by sacrificing ritual stones known as Sacrificial Stones in their special Gems.

Each potion effect comes with its own unique Gem, and every Gem is available in four rarity tiers:
Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic

The Sacrifice Stones themselves also have four tiers, creating a complete ritual progression system that blends naturally into survival gameplay.

🔮 Key Features

✔️ 4 Sacrifice Stone tiers: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic
✔️ Unique Gem for every supported potion effect
✔️ Higher-tier Gems give more powerful/extended effects
✔️ Ritual-based “sacrifice” system (no brewing needed)
✔️ Balanced and vanilla-friendly crafting recipes
✔️ RPG, adventure and magic modpack friendly
✔️ Lightweight and performance-friendly

💠 How the Gem System Works

Each potion effect has a rarity level.

Example:

✔️ Gem of Night Vision (Common)
✔️ Gem of Hase (Uncommon)
✔️ Gem of Strength (Rare)
✔️ Gem of Saturation (Epic)

As rarity increases:

✔️ Crafting becomes more expensive
✔️ Required Sacrifice Stone tier increases

This creates a clear sense of advancement and encourages exploration, farming, and progression.

🪨 Sacrifice Stone System

Each stone sacrificed adds 5 minutes to the corresponding potion effect.

There are four Sacrifice Stone types:

• Common Sacrifice Stone
• Uncommon Sacrifice Stone
• Rare Sacrifice Stone
• Epic Sacrifice Stone

Each stone can only accept Gems of its tier.

Example:

• Common Stone → only Common Gems
• Common Stone → only Uncommon Gems
• Rare Stone → only Rare Gems
• Epic Stone → only Epic Gems

This ensures a balanced and rewarding ritual progression path.
