Scrycraft – The Art of Seeing Beyond

What was built

• Added a divination-themed progression set: Scrying Basin block (reveals nearby weather shifts, hostile omens, and cave mouth hints), Crystal Focus item (marks hidden ores with particles, highlights nearby mobs, and projects a direction/footpath), Thread Loom block (weaves Threads of Fate when fed string and amethyst), Astral Mirror block (shows ore veins, foreshadows creepers, and exposes sneaking players), and a Soul Marker teleport charm.
• Three consumable Threads: Fortune (Luck + brief glow), Avoidance (Avoidance Aura that stifles hostile spawns near you), and Return (binds your essence for a future soul marker drop on death).
• Custom effects Avoidance Aura and Fate Anchor plus event hooks to cancel monster spawns near protected seers and to drop soul markers on bound player deaths.
• Crafting, loot, models, blockstates, translations, and a creative tab entry for all new content.

How it works

• Scrying Basin: Right-click (any hand) to get whispered weather, mob, and cave intel; sprinkles end-rod particles when consulted.
• Crystal Focus: Use to pulse nearby ore blocks with enchant particles (name-based ore detection), glow up to six nearby mobs, hint at a distant settlement (spawn-based ping), and trace souls to your last death.
• Thread Loom: Consumes 1× string + 1× amethyst shard from your inventory and hands back a random Thread item with enchant particles and chimes.
• Threads of Fate: Fortune grants Luck for five minutes; Avoidance Aura lasts five minutes and can cancel most hostile spawns within ~24 blocks; Return binds your current spot for a future soul marker drop and applies Fate Anchor.
• Soul Marker: Dropped automatically on death while Fate Anchor is bound; using it teleports you to the stored position across dimensions.
• Astral Mirror: Activates with right-click, revealing a nearby ore vein (by name), giving a warning direction for the nearest creeper, and glowing any crouching players nearby.
• All items/blocks live in the Scrycraft creative tab for easy access.

Limitations and notes

• Ore detection relies on registry names containing "ore" or "debris", so heavily renamed custom ores may not be caught.
• The “structure” pulse from the Crystal Focus currently aims at the world spawn as a gentle exploration nudge rather than a true structure scan.
• Weather messages are qualitative (no exact timers) because of upstream API changes.
• Avoidance Aura cancels most but not all hostile spawns; packed monster spawners and scripted spawns are unaffected.
