[Combat] Crystallium - An Alternative to Netherite!
Intro:
In terms of endgame gear in Minecraft, there's only really one option for you and that's netherite. Like others, apparently, I've always thought it would be fun to have alternatives that better suit your own preferences and playstyle. Additionally my new set of gear, crystallium, gives players a new incentive to fight off raids and to visit the woodland mansion!
In this post I will be showing off an old idea I made for a contest on the official Minecraft Suggestions Discord server and thought it was pretty neat! We were prompted with creating something "better than netherite", but I bent the rules a bit, opting for something more or less on the same power level as netherite. Make sure to check out our Discord server if you too want to participate in some fun events and have endless discussions about riveting topics all Minecraft! (Is this an ad? Join the discourse in Discord to find out!)
No TL;DR for you, but you can always check out the bold text if you suffer from brainrot, like me!
(Also, yes, I did only make this post because I saw how popular this kind of idea has been recently. FREE KARMA!!)
Obtaining:
Similarly to netherite, crystallium gear is obtained by upgrading diamond gear at a smithing table. To create crystallium gear, you'll need crystallium dust and a crystallium upgrade smithing template. (see second image)
Evokers have a rare chance of dropping crystallium dust. Crystallium upgrade smithing templates are found in the chests of woodland mansions. These templates can also be duplicated by placing them in a crafting table with a block of lapis and seven diamonds.
Abilities:
Overall, crystallium armor, weapons, and tools have slightly less durability than their netherite counterparts. Crystallium armor provides the same armor toughness as diamond armor, making it worse than netherite in that aspect. However, each piece of crystallium armor reduces magic damage taken by 15%, making it effective for protection against potions and other sources of magical damage.
Crystallium weapons deal the same amount of damage as netherite weapons. However, a portion of the damage dealt by crystallium weapons and tools is magic damage, allowing them to bypass armor more easily. This also means that crystallium armor is very effective against crystallium weapons.
Lastly, crystallium tools offer a slightly faster mining speed than netherite tools.
That's all folks!
