Intro
Boundless Flux is a mod that adds a variety of new energy based swords / bows, with many different models and textures available! These weapons all have upgrades available, and can increase their damage permanently by slaying enemies! The damage cap, damage conversion, and energy consumed on use can all be configured if you'd like to limit the strength of the weapons.
This mod also adds a config option (true by default) that allows the ender dragon to spawn eggs past the first one.
This mod has no innate way to generate power or autocraft Entangled Matter. I recommend a powergen mod such as Mekanism and a storage / autocrafting mod like RefinedStorage or AppliedEnergistics 2.
Weapon Styles
Weapon Bench
The Weapon Entity Entangler Bench allows you to insert a Boundless weapon into the middle slot, then insert up to 3 weapon enhancements in the available slots. Each upgrade applies a new enchantment to your weapon. The next / previous buttons allow you to cycle between all available weapon styles while keeping the stats / enchantments the same! Meaning you can swap between any weapon style without having to make a new weapon and grind new enhancements / damage.
Weapon Example
The Energy text is how much remaining energy your weapon has. Your weapons damage is based on your weapons CURRENT energy meaning the less energy you have remaining, the less damage you deal. By default, your weapon will consume 1% of your remaining energy on hit, then of that consumed damage, it will convert 0.1% of it to damage. So if you have 1,000,000 energy (default max), you will deal 1,000,000 * 0.01 * 0.001 = 10 damage. On kill you will gain MAX energy equal to the amount of energy consumed. So for that hit you would gain 10,000 MAX energy and once recharged, your weapon would now deal 1,010,000 * 0.01 * 0.001 = 10.1 damage. This damage growth is exponential since the more energy you have the more you can gain on kill. You can configure the max energy cap if you don't want these weapons to scale to ridiculous numbers.
Weapon Crafting
To craft the Bounded Sword, you will need 2 Awakened Entangled Matter, as well as 1 stick.
The crafting ingredients for a single Awakened Entangled Matter are:
1024 Redstone, 1024 Lapis, 256 Coal, 1024 Iron, 256 Gold, 64 Diamond, 16 Nether Star, 4 End Crystal and 1 Dragon Egg.
To upgrade your Bounded Sword to a Boundless Sword, it will take a third Awakened Entangled Matter that you will then craft into an Energy Crystal.
Energy Crystal
Energy Crystals are used to upgrade your Bounded Weapon into a Boundless Weapon, which supports energy, upgrades, and permanent damage increases. To upgrade your Bounded Weapon to a Boundless Weapon, you must hold a fully charged Energy Crystal in your offhand, with your Bounded Weapon in your main hand. Then at exactly midnight, look directly up into the moon and right click. You will be struck with lightning imbuing your weapon with the power of the crystal upgrading it into a Boundless Weapon.
