RelicEX: Directors Cut

💎 What is RelicEx: Director’s Cut?

RelicEx: Director’s Cut is a modern port and expansion of the original RelicEx, rebuilt to integrate cleanly with the PlayerEx: Director’s Cut ecosystem and Trinkets.

It adds RPG-style relics, potions, and progression items that drop from mobs and loot chests, granting randomized attribute bonuses powered by PlayerEx. Every relic has a rarity, weighted stats, and dimension-aware drop settings, all fully configurable.

If you like:

• ARPG-style loot (Diablo, Path of Exile vibes)
• progression tied into PlayerEx stats and skills
• and configurable, modpack-friendly systems…

…this mod is built for that.

⚙️ Dependencies

Check the “Relations / Dependencies” tab for exact versions – this is just a quick overview.

Required:

• PlayerEx: Director’s Cut – attribute & progression system this mod hooks into
• Data Attributes (Director’s Cut version) – used for attribute handling
• Trinkets – for equipping relics in special slots
• Fabric (and/or Quilt) for 1.20.1
• Mod Menu + Cloth/Auto Config – in-game config screen for drop chances and settings

🧿 Relics & Items

Core Relics

Relics roll 1–5 random PlayerEx attributes, with values and rarities weighted by config.

| Item | Slot(s) | Source | Effect |
|———————-|———————-|——————-|———————————————————–|
| Helmet Relic | Helmet / Head Trinket| Chests & Monsters | 1–5 randomized attribute bonuses when equipped |
| Chestplate Relic | Chest / Body Trinket | Chests & Monsters | 1–5 randomized attribute bonuses when equipped |
| Amulet Relic | Necklace | Chests & Monsters | 1–5 randomized attribute bonuses when equipped |
| Ring Relic | Ring / Offhand Ring | Chests & Monsters | 1–5 randomized attribute bonuses when equipped |

Relics use a rarity system:

Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Mythical → Legendary → Immortal

Rarity is influenced by:

• number of rolled attributes
• strength of each roll
• attribute-specific weights

Higher rarity ≙ more and/or stronger bonuses.

Progression & Utility Items

| Item | Slot | Source | Effect |
|—————————|——|——————|——–|
| Relic Shard | – | Smelting relics | Consume to gain Experience Orbs. Great for recycling bad rolls. |
| Tome | – | Chests & Mobs | Consumed on use to grant a free PlayerEx level. |
| Lesser Orb of Regret | – | Chests & Mobs | Refunds 1 skill point into your PlayerEx refund pool. |
| Greater Orb of Regret | – | Chests & Mobs | Refunds all skill points into your PlayerEx refund pool. |
| Dragon Stone | – | Ender Dragon | Hard reset for your character: resets attributes, PlayerEx level, and all skill points. Requires a double right-click to confirm. |
| Small Health Potion | – | Monsters | Heals 2 hearts immediately when picked up. |
| Medium Health Potion | – | Monsters | Heals 3 hearts immediately when picked up. |
| Large Health Potion | – | Monsters | Heals 4 hearts immediately when picked up. |

Health potions cannot be stored – they trigger the moment they’re picked up. No hoarding, just clutch heals.

📦 Loot, Drops & Rarity

Relics and other items are injected into:

• Any mob that is an instance of Monster
• Any loot table of type chests/ (dungeons, structures, etc.)
• The Ender Dragon specifically for the Dragon Stone

Drop chances and item selection are managed via weighted distributions, with additional logic to:

• Choose dimension-appropriate relics (Overworld / Nether / End)
• Apply dimension-level multipliers for drop rate and rarity
• Include or exclude specific relics per dimension via config/weights

All of this is fully configurable.

🛠️ Configuration

RelicEx: Director’s Cut is built to be modpack-friendly:

• Global & per-dimension settings
• Control how often relics can drop in each dimension.
• Adjust rarity distribution per dimension (e.g., more Epics in the End).

• Rarity weights
• Tweak how likely Common vs. Immortal relics are.
• Configure attribute weightings (what rolls more often).

• Mob & chest drop rates
• Separate sliders for:
• “drop is a relic”
• “drop is an orb”
• “drop is a potion”
• etc.

• Safety features
• Dragon Stone requires two uses (double right-click) to confirm the reset.
• Orbs of Regret respect existing PlayerEx refund logic.

Configuration is handled through AutoConfig (with Mod Menu integration if present), plus weight JSONs for finer tuning.

🎭 Armor Relics & Visuals

• Armor Relics are implemented as actual armor pieces with relic stats baked in.
• They:
• Integrate with armor attribute calculation (armor, toughness, etc.)
• Can be visually distinguished (custom model/renderer)

🔄 Integration & Compatibility

• Built specifically for PlayerEx: Director’s Cut and Data Attributes DC
• Uses Trinkets for equippable relic slots
• Plays nicely with:
• other attribute-driven mods
• most loot-injecting mods (Custom Structures, Dungeons, etc.)
• packs that heavily tweak PlayerEx balancing

If you’re making an RPG pack, RelicEx can be used as:

• a core loot system, or
• a side progression layer on top of your existing gear.

❓ FAQ

Q: Is this the same as the original RelicEx?
A: This is a port + rework tailored for PlayerEx: Director’s Cut and its attribute system. The core idea is the same (relics with randomized bonuses), but internals and integrations are updated for the DC ecosystem.

Q: Can I change how strong relics are?
A: Yes. Both the drop chances and the rarity/attribute weights are configurable. You can make relics extremely rare and powerful, or common and mild.

Q: Is this safe for existing worlds?
A: Generally yes, but:

• Adding it to an existing world will start injecting relics into future loot and mob kills.
• Removing it will invalidate its items/attributes. For modpacks, plan it as a long-term system, not a temporary add-on.
