Introduction

The starlight charger can enhance materials substantially by applying the Star Charged enhancement to them. It also requires a pseudo multi-block structure with four pillars, but only cares about the caps of the pillars.

Charge

The starlight charger gains energy during the nighttime, but only when exposed to the sky. The stored charge is used when charging a material. The amount of charge used depends on the charge tier (determined by the catalyst and pillar caps) and the tier of the material.

Chargeability

Chargeability ("charge-ability", like enchantability) is a gear property (stat) that determines how well a material responds to supercharging. How exactly this affects different properties varies, but most multiply the starcharged level by chargeability and do something with that. Some properties will ignore chargeability. Some properties (like durability and armor durability) have exponential increases.

Catalysts

Charging requires a catalyst item in addition to a properly set up starlight charger. The available catalysts can be controlled with item tags. The defaults are listed in addition to the tags.

The tags are found in data/silentgear/tags/items/starlight_charger_catalysts/. Simply override the tag JSON's with a data pack if you want to change/add catalysts.

• tier1.json - blaze gold dust
• tier2.json - azure silver dust
• tier3.json - starmetal dust

Refer to the Minecraft wiki if you are not familiar with tags: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Tag

Implementation Details

Charging adds a material modifier to the item (or an enchantment in earlier versions of the mod), which you can only get through the charger block/structure. It is not transferred to crafted gear and has no effect on them, but the materials used to craft gear parts save their original item data for property recalculations, which Silent Gear does occasionally.

Enchanted Books

In earlier versions of Minecraft, you may encounter enchanted books with a "Star Charged" enchantment on them. These are not meant to be obtained and have no use.

Setup

Pillars

Four (4) pillars must be built around the starlight charger, with the pillars being at the corners of a 7x7 square area and the charger in the center. The blocks used for the floor do not matter, nor does line of sight.

The pillars must be three (3) blocks high. Only the topmost block matters, the other two can be any block you wish.

NOTE: After you finish the pillars, give the starlight charger up to 15 seconds to detect them.

Pillar Caps

The pillar caps determine the maximum charge level that can be applied. You can still charge to lower levels by using a catalyst of that level.

• Tier 1: crimson steel block
• Tier 2: azure electrum block
• Tier 3: tyrian steel block
