more_up_packs
Upgrade your upgrade packs so you can have even higher stats!
Affected stats are health and breath.
Higher stats, whaaaa?
The original upgrade_packs mod by Krock added four slots to the players inventory which they were able to fill with either +10 Health or +5 Breath each.
Using only that mod a player could have up to +40HP or +20 Breath.
I however thought that this wouldn't be enough for some reason.
So I've added more packs.
Introducing:
+20HP
+30HP
+40HP
+50HP
as well as
+10 Breath
+15 Breath
+20 Breath
That's all fine and dandy but how do you even craft them?
In order to craft one of these packs you take the previous level and surround it with the right items in order to upgrade the upgrade pack.

To craft a +10HP upgrade pack, you'll need:
4 copper ingots
4 mese crystals
1 glass bottleArrange it like this:
Put copper ingots into the four corners of the crafting grid. Put an empty glass bottle into the middle spot. Fill in the rest with mese crystals.
