Shatterspace

Quickstart

1. Open your inventory and find Shatterspace items in the Equipment, Items, and Nature creative tabs (or use /give with the identifiers below for survival testing).
2. Grab a weapon such as the Shardblade or Void Cleaver and hold it in your main hand — the action bar will display "Shatterspace: silent monochrome reality surrounds you" to confirm the mod is active.
3. Use (right-click / hold interact) any weapon with an ability or any artifact to trigger its active effect immediately.
4. Eat a Ghost Berry or Fogroot Soup to restore hunger.
5. Place Pale Stone, Mirrorstone, or glowing Silver Crystal blocks to start building in the monochrome aesthetic.

Overview

Shatterspace transforms your world into a haunting black, white, and silver realm. It adds 22 decorative and structural blocks, seven foods, seven weapons, and six usable artifacts. Every piece of gear with an active ability responds to a single Use press, granting effects, teleportation, area attacks, or exploration hints. Holding any Shatterspace item in your main hand displays a persistent atmospheric message on your action bar.

How To Use

Action Bar Feedback

Any time you hold a Shatterspace item in your main hand, a grey atmospheric message appears on your action bar. This is purely cosmetic flavour — it confirms the mod is running and your item is recognized.

Triggering Abilities

Artifacts and most weapons have an active ability triggered by pressing Use (right-click on Java-style controls, or hold the interact button on touch/controller). The effect fires almost instantly.

• Mirror Heart — tap Use for a 20-second Speed II burst, great for escaping or closing distance.
• Echo Stone — tap Use to blink ~8 blocks straight ahead (slightly upward). Aim carefully to avoid landing in walls.
• Monolith Fragment — tap Use for 20 seconds of Resistance II, reducing incoming damage significantly.
• Ghost Lantern — tap Use for 30 seconds of Night Vision, illuminating dark ruins and caves without placing torches.
• Shatter Compass — tap Use to receive a chat message: "The compass pulls toward silent ruins beyond the fog." Use it as a roleplay signal when exploring.
• Crystal Eye — tap Use for 30 seconds of Haste II, speeding up mining through Shatterspace stone.

Weapon Abilities

The Mirror Spear, Shardblade, Echo Scythe, Void Cleaver, and Monolith Hammer all have area-attack abilities triggered with Use. This spawns a large explosion particle and deals damage to all nearby non-player entities:

• Mirror Spear, Shardblade, Echo Scythe: 6 damage to all entities within 4 blocks.
• Void Cleaver: 10 damage to all entities within 4 blocks — the hardest-hitting burst.
• Monolith Hammer: 6 damage to all entities within 7 blocks — the widest sweep.

The Shatter Dagger and Ash Bow are standard melee and ranged weapons without active abilities.

Crafting And Obtaining

No crafting recipes are defined — all Shatterspace items and blocks are obtained through the creative inventory or /give commands. In a survival context, source them however fits your world (loot tables, trades, or admin distribution).

Abilities And Mechanics

• Ghost Berry and Crystal Nectar have can_always_eat, meaning you can consume them even at full hunger — useful for keeping their minor nutrition topped off as snacks mid-combat.
• Fogroot Soup provides the highest nutrition (7) and solid saturation, making it the best meal for extended expeditions.
• White Obsidian is the most durable Shatterspace block with 12 seconds to mine and near-total explosion resistance — suitable for fortifications.
• Monolith Stone and Monolith Bricks share the same extreme hardness and blast resistance, ideal for imposing structural builds.
• The three crystal blocks (Silver, Shadow, Pale) emit light and use a translucent render, making them useful as atmospheric light sources embedded in walls or floors.
• The three glass variants (Echo, Mirror, Fractured) are translucent and fragile, similar to vanilla glass.

Progression And Strategy

1. Establish a base aesthetic — lay down Pale Stone or Dark Stone as your foundation, use Monolith Bricks for walls that resist explosions, and accent with glowing Pale Crystal or Silver Crystal for ambient lighting.
2. Stock up on food early — Ghost Berry and Crystal Nectar can be eaten any time, so keep a stack for emergencies. Brew up Fogroot Soup for serious exploration sessions.
3. Choose your artifact loadout — Ghost Lantern + Echo Stone is a strong exploration combo: blink ahead and keep vision clear. Mirror Heart + Monolith Fragment suits combat, giving you speed to engage and resistance to survive hits.
4. Use the right weapon ability for the situation — Monolith Hammer clears wide crowds in tight corridors; Void Cleaver maximises burst damage in a tighter radius. Save the Echo Stone teleport for escapes after triggering a weapon burst.
5. Build toward the aesthetic — Shatterspace is designed as an atmospheric building set. Mix translucent crystal blocks with opaque marble and stone to create broken-realm structures, shrines, or vaults that suit the silent monochrome world.
