3 years ago Also small suggestion for the item if you end-up adding it... It would be nice if there was some integration with Origins. Specifically the Merling Origin. Not talking about "this origin have special ability with crown" kind of deal, but rather "making sure one of the hard coded abilities in mod would properly interact with item from this mod".
I'm referring to his Gills ability which makes Merling able to only breath underwater. There were few interactions added to Turtle Helmet and Conduits and it would be great if new potential item also had those interactions for consistency.
First of... wow... this mod is actually a brilliant way to introduce both a fulfilling reward to a boss while connecting it to otherwise very difficult item to obtain.
It could be nice if we had another niche use for the Spike tho...
Perhaps an ability to upgrade Turtle Helmet with the Spikes to create sort of sea crown?
You could mix in Heart of the Sea/Conduit, Turtle Shell and three spikes to create more powerful Turtle Helmet-like item with stats equivalent to Diamond BUT with unique effects while your head is in (or when enters) water.
There are a lot of potential ideas for effects this crown would potentially bring in... but just to give few ideas:
Could be temporary Breathing for 10 seconds like turtle helmet. Good starting point, but perhaps not only perk of the item... Maybe build conduits have greater reach for players with this crown specifically? You would need a lot of Conduits for this one to work consistently... Maybe when you get hit while wearing said crown you sometimes deal damage back? You could empower it by having armor set with Thorns. This one is more useful also outside the water and at least allows you to potentially buff one of... let's say underplayed enchantment. Perhaps you become immune to Mining Fatigue while wearing the helmet? Would be only useful for raiding more Ocean Temples... unless there are mods which introduce more sources of getting Mining Fatigue? Maybe while wearing the crown all aquatic related potion effects have double the duration on you? Stuff like Water Breathing, Dolphins Grace, Conduit Power... which at least makes traversing oceans easier. Also in 1.18 update (as well as... right now I guess) having super long lasting Water breathing sounds like very useful effect for when you are going on a long caving session underwater.
Whichever buffs you end-up giving the crown, I think it would be great addition to the mod if you are okay with adding another item to the mod.
If you want this to be just simple mod which gives a reasonable and consistent way of obtaining Tridents, that's alright.
