Origins: Psyker

Psyker (Fabric, 1.20.1)

Impact: 2

Playstyle differs noticeably from Human, but not by too much.

TL:DR – You know those squid guys from Larian Studios’s hit game Baldur’s Gate 3?

Traits + Abilities:

Atrophied (Passive):

_You deal less weapon damage, and benefit less from armor._

• Attack Damage, Armor, and Armor Toughness are each reduced by 33%
• Projectile Damage (i.e: arrows, thrown tridents, etc.) is reduced by 20%

_Your body cannot recover through natural means, only through psionics._

• You do not naturally regenerate health, and cannot be healed by the Regeneration potion effect

Psyforce (Passive):

_The source of your power. Maintain it at all costs._

• Running out of Psyforce will disable all of your other abilities until the meter fully refills (~20s without intervention), and greatly exhaust you.

• Killing an enemy with 8+ health or hitting a Stunned target will refill a small amount of Psyforce and double its regen rate for 2 seconds.

• You can cancel Psionic Grasp and Mind Blast prematurely with Save Hotbar Activator (default: ‘c’)

Psionic Grasp (Active – Attack):

_Strike a foe with an empty hand to subdue them with psionic energy._

• While restraining a target, you can trigger one of the following secondary effects with the Use key (1.5s CD between activations):
• Psionic Crush: Crush the grasped target, dealing 6 points of armor-ignoring damage to it.
• Psionic Fling: Launch the grasped target, applying a debuff to it and damaging anything caught in its path.
• Toggle between Crush and Fling using the Load Hotbar Activator (default: ‘x’) while you have nothing in your main hand.
• Can be ended by hitting the grasped target again, or by using Save Hotbar Activator (default: ‘c’).
• (Unlisted): A restrained target has greatly reduced Attack Damage and Attack Speed.

Psionic Ward (Passive):

_An adaptive barrier of psionic energy that twists to suit your every need._

• Cycle between one of three effects using the Load Hotbar Activator (default: ‘x’) key while you have something in your main hand and nothing in your offhand.
• Mending: While not taking damage for at least 1.5s, rapidly consume Psyforce to heal your wounds.
• Intellect Fortress: While using another ability (i.e: _Psionic Grasp_ or _Psionic Flight_), reduce all damage taken by 3 and potentially destroy incoming projectiles.
• Synaptic Static: Cloak yourself in a veil of psionic energy, making you much harder to detect (requires Pehkui for reduced mob detection), and granting you a 20% increase to movement speed.
• You can cycle in reverse by sneaking.

Psionic Flight (Active – Jump):

_Expel psionic energy to enter a state of suspended flight._

• In this state, the directional keys allow you to take more precise control of your movements.
• The Forward key allows you to ascend if you are looking upwards, and descend if you are looking downwards.
• Looking straight ahead will allow you to hover in place, but looking up or down will cause you to drift slowly in that direction.

Mind Blast (Active – Primary):

_Overwhelm your foes with raw psionic energy, damaging all enemies in a cone and potentially Stunning them for up to 4 seconds._

• A Stunned target cannot move, use items, or place blocks, and takes 75% more damage from any Psyker’s attacks or abilities (though harming it will shorten the Stun duration).
• Can be cancelled during its windup animation with Save Hotbar Activator (default c)

Notes:

To add this pack, navigate to your world folder, and find the ‘datapacks’ folder within it. Drag this baby in there and you should be all set to go.

Known Issues:

• Psionic Flight is very similar to creative flight, but just different enough that it clashes with some anti-flying cheat detection software. You might need to be careful with how you use it if you plan on playing on a server with those kinds of features.
• Scoreboards can sometimes get set up incorrectly (or not get set up at all!). In that case, try running (or asking someone with operator permissions to run) the following command:
• “ /function sapuspsychic:setup “
• If that doesn’t fix things, please DM me or create a thread in my Discord server, and I’ll get to figuring it out as soon as possible.
