Relics Core Mechanics
Leveling and Experience
Relics gain Relic Experience through specific actions related to their function (e.g., dealing damage, taking hits, or using active abilities). As a Relic levels up, it gains Upgrade Points which can be spent to enhance its stats or unlock new ability tiers.
- Experience Spreading: By default, 25% of experience gained by one equipped Relic is shared with all other Relics in the player's inventory, allowing for passive progression of secondary gear.
- Relic Experience Bottle: A rare loot item that can be consumed to grant a flat amount of experience to an equipped Relic.
Ranks and Prestige
Once a Relic reaches its maximum level, players can Rank Up the item. This resets the Relic's level to zero but increases its Rank (Prestige). Higher Ranks unlock more powerful ability tiers and higher stat caps, allowing for long-term progression.
Quality and Rerolling
When a Relic is first discovered, it rolls a Quality percentage. This determines the initial strength of its randomized stats.
- Rerolling: Players can reroll a Relic's stats by spending 50 Minecraft Experience levels
- Luck System: Every time a reroll fails to improve the stats, the player's internal "Luck" for that Relic increases, improving the odds of a better roll on the next attempt
Research System
In newer versions (1.20.1+), the physical Research Table has been replaced by an integrated GUI. Players can access the Relic's management screen (typically via a keybind like Left-Alt or by clicking the item in the inventory) to view stats, spend points, and manage abilities.
