Release Me Jar

Quickstart

1. Join a world — a countdown begins and teleports you to Copper-9, a frozen industrial wasteland with low visibility.
2. Explore and break things to collect salvage materials (bismuth, alloys, circuits, etc.).
3. Craft a Rocket Crafter to refine salvage into rocket components:

1. Work up through the crafting chain until you hold a Fueled Escape Rocket.
2. Sneak + use the Fueled Escape Rocket to cycle through destination planets. Use normally to launch.
3. While surviving, craft a Tactical Armorer Tablet to manage your firearms rank and loadout:

Overview

Release Me Jar turns survival Minecraft into an off-world escape sandbox. You begin stranded on Copper-9, scavenge industrial salvage, craft increasingly advanced rocket parts, and eventually launch yourself free — then explore 17 additional planets, each with unique collectible resources. Along the way you contend with a tactical firearms system, powerful artifacts, status effects, and timed horror events that ambush you without warning.

What It Adds

Items and Tools

Status Effects

• Paranoid — inflicted by horror encounters; impairs your senses
• Traumatized — a deeper debuff from sustained horror exposure

Firearms and Ammunition

The mod adds a full tactical firearms system with multiple weapon tiers and four ammunition types:

A top-tier fusion weapon is assembled by combining several advanced firearms at the crafting table:

Artifacts

Aztec Death Whistle — craft with obsidian, netherite scrap, emeralds, a skeleton skull, and bismuth:

The Cross — craft with gold blocks, a nether star, and a diamond sword:

How To Use

Copper-9 and Salvage

On first joining, a timer counts down before teleporting you to Copper-9. The environment is dark, cold, and industrial. Break structures and containers to find raw salvage: bismuth, copper alloy, steel alloy, titanium plates, cryo circuits, drone optics, oil canisters, coolant cells, and more. A Copper-9 Salvage Pack (stackable, up to 16) can be opened for a random selection of these materials.

Use an Ore Pulse Scanner to locate deposits efficiently — it has 256 uses before it wears out.

Rocket Crafter

The Rocket Crafter is the heart of progression. Use it to refine raw salvage into intermediate and advanced components:

• Raw materials → alloys and circuits
• Alloys and circuits → Reinforced Hull, Plasma Thruster, Navigation Core, Reactor Cell
• All components together → Fueled Escape Rocket

Launching and Planet Travel

Once you hold the Fueled Escape Rocket:

• Sneak + use to cycle through available destinations (an action-bar message shows the selected planet).
• Use normally to launch.

You arrive on a safe landing pad. A survey timer runs in your action bar; when it completes, you receive that planet's unique collectible material. Stay and keep surveying to accumulate resources.

Firearms and the Tactical Armorer Tablet

Weapons consume their matching ammunition from your inventory. As you use firearms, you earn XP and ranks that persist across sessions. Open the Tactical Armorer Tablet to review your rank, swap loadout options, and apply upgrades. A HUD overlay in the action bar shows current ammo status and rank during combat.

Horror Events

Five horror entities can ambush you at any time — The Man From The Fog, Entity303, Herobrine, Goat Man, and Siren Head. Each creates a dangerous timed encounter:

• Crouch to reduce the threat or delay escalation.
• Use an Emergency Repair Kit to counteract damage and status effects mid-event.
• Place a Horror Lure if you want to trigger an encounter on your own terms (useful for farming loot).
• Surviving events can inflict the Paranoid or Traumatized status effects.

Crafting And Obtaining

All five recipes available in this mod:

Most raw salvage materials are found only on Copper-9 or other planets — they cannot be crafted from standard Minecraft materials.

Abilities And Mechanics

Progression And Strategy

1. Survive Copper-9 — prioritise collecting bismuth and titanium plates early; these gate the Rocket Crafter recipe.
2. Craft the Rocket Crafter as soon as possible and start refining salvage into hull and thruster components.
3. Build firearms and rank up using the Tactical Armorer Tablet — higher ranks make horror events far more survivable.
4. Craft or find the Aztec Death Whistle and The Cross for powerful combat options; both require rare materials so treat them as mid-to-late goals.
5. Launch and survey planets — each world has a unique collectible that may unlock new crafting options or trade value. Cycle destinations with sneak-use to target specific planets.
6. Manage horror events — keep Emergency Repair Kits in your hotbar, never ignore the Paranoid/Traumatized effects, and consider using Horror Lures in a controlled area to farm event loot safely.
