Balancing Traditional and Enhanced Combat Styles

Deciding When to Use Upgraded Ammunition

The Diamethyst Arrows Mod is intentionally designed as an optional layer over the Diamethysts mod. It provides arrow upgrades that diverge from the core mod's vanilla aesthetic, giving you complete freedom over how heavily you rely on special abilities.

1. Evaluate your preferred playstyle: decide whether you want to preserve a traditional, vanilla-feeling archery experience or expand your offensive arsenal with enhanced powers.

2. Save your upgraded arrows for high-threat scenarios, such as tough encounters or heavily armored enemies where additional abilities offer a decisive advantage.

3. Rely on regular ammunition for routine tasks like hunting or clearing common nighttime mobs.

Opting Out of Add-on Mechanics

Because the mod does not force upgrades upon your existing setup:

1. You can choose not to craft the add-on arrows at any point, allowing you to continue using only base Diamethysts equipment.

2. Store upgraded arrows in dedicated chests to prevent accidental firing if you want to maintain a standard survival combat balance during specific adventures.
