Maybe the ancient gods weren't myths after all?
Resources, both dark and light, have been scattered in the overworld after a clash of the gods.
From dark and light crystals to magic scrolls, you have a chance to wield what gods did.
But beware - they may be cursed. The more powerful the scroll, the more dangerous the curse may be.
Eventually you'll be able to make divine water and cleanse the cursed scrolls.
Scroll of Botanic Maturity
Grows plants like bonemeal. Drops from Skeletons. If used incorrectly, applies minor poison curse. Max uses: 9.
Scroll of Iron Touch
Turns coal ore/blocks into iron. Drops from Zombies. If used incorrectly, applies minor poison curse. Max uses: 9 ores/1 block.
Scroll of Transmootation
Turns cows into mooshroom or vice-versa. Drops rarely from cows or mooshrooms. If used incorrectly, applies minor hunger curse. Max uses: 1.
Most scrolls are obtainable/usable at any point.
Tools, weapons, and armor items require different tier crystals. Higher tiers are more powerful and worth obtaining.
Superior items are available as soon as you have enough dark crystals and emeralds.
Legendary items will require nether stars.
Mythical items will require killing the ender dragon.
Divine water (for purifying scrolls) will require mythical items.
