Description

Bonified 🔗

Some new features related to the bones you get from dead players in MTG.

Also changes the appearance of the 'bones' block to a pile of bones with a proper 3D model.

Bones, Bone Meal, & Fertilizer 🔗

Bones are a new item you can obtain from bone piles, randomly from various kinds of soil, and from a few other sources listed in later sections.

If not disabled in the mod's settings, you can make bones into Bone Meal, which speeds up the growth of crops, saplings, cactus, and papyrus, causes numerous kinds of plants to spread, and can be further made into fertilizer which has an even greater effect.

Bones can also be made back into bone piles, and into bone blocks, which are decorative and a crafting ingredient.

Bone Tools & Armor 🔗

Bone tools are made from bone blocks, and are comparable to bronze tools in terms of capabilities. However, as their durability goes down they gradually start to dig faster and deal more damage up to a limit of 2x at 0 durability.

Bone armor is simply normal armor similar in defense to bronze armor. The 3d_armor mod is required for bone armor to be available. If '3D Armor Gloves Redo' is installed, gauntlets will also be available.

Bone equipment can be recycled into bone meal (unless this feature is disabled by the user) with the amount of bone meal returned varying based on the remaining durability of the item.

Fossils 🔗

Ancient Fossils can be obtained from fossil ore, which spawns in stone and permafrost. Fossil ores also drop bones.

Fossil tools are crafted with ancient fossils and use bones instead of sticks, and are equivalent to mese tools but with more durability. Fossil armor sits between steel and diamond (i.e. fills the gap where mese armor would go), and is made with Ancient Fossils and bronze ingots.

Ancient Fossils can also be made into fossil meal, which is similar to bone meal and fertilizer and has the highest effect of the three.

Dungeon Loot 🔗

Various items from Bonified can be found in loot chests in dungeons, including bones, bone meal, fossils, and tools and armor. Icy dungeons have a higher chance of generating certain items.

Decorative Nodes 🔗

Bone blocks and fossil blocks can both be made into bricks, which can be made into slabs, stairs, and chiselled versions. Fossil bricks can be made into walls, and there are bone fences and fence rails made from bones and bone blocks.

One coal lump and one bone can be made into six bone torches, which can be crafted into ancient lanterns using fossils and bronze.

Compatibility 🔗

Bonified is compatible with mobs_skeletons, and if enabled, skeletons will drop bones.

Support is also provided for x_bows, with a bone and fossil arrow. Bone arrows are crafted in batches of six, and have a 1/5 chance to break on impact. Fossil arrows are equivalent to mese, and are crafted with both bones and fossils in batches of 12. If both mobs_skeletons and x_bows are enabled, skeleton archers will also drop bone and/or fossil arrows rather than steel arrows.

If moreblocks is present, shape variants of bone and fossil bricks will be registered with its' circular saw rather than the stairs mod, resulting in a much wider array of decorative nodes.
