    Overview

    This data pack adds the Atlan trident, a powerful endgame weapon that seeks only a worthy wielder. Atlan has countless abilities, the most notable of which being the fact that it can be toggled between riptide and ranged (loyalty) modes. Each mode comes with a specialized set of abilities, and each brings about a devastating power to your world.

    Summon lightning and wind bursts anywhere, anytime with ranged mode’s Stormstrike ability. Soar through the skies and drift with the wind using the Cloudstep and Updraft abilities, and unleash catastrophic force upon your enemies with riptide mode’s Grand Slam. Charge Atlan’s power, and conjure an overwhelming whirlwind coupled with a barrage of tridents using the Maelstrom special ability. Find out how Atlan rewards its wielder, both in combat and in water.

    Crafting

    Place a heart of the sea, nether star, dragon egg, and regular trident on an anvil to summon the weapon. If lost, it may be recovered by placing another heart of the sea and a recovery compass on an anvil.


    Abilities

    General

    Atlan is a modified trident, and therefore it has all the possible enchantments of a trident. In riptide mode, the trident has riptide 5, while in ranged mode, the trident has loyalty 10. Atlan also has increased attack speed and attack range compared to a base trident, as well as increased damage due to the addition of enchantments that are typically reserved for swords. This includes sharpness V, bane of arthropods V, smite V, fire aspect II, knockback II, and looting III; as a result, it is stronger than a sharpness V netherite sword. The weapon is also, of course, unbreakable.

    To switch between Riptide Mode and Ranged Mode, simply equip the trident in your offhand and the mode will be swapped. You can then put it back in your mainhand with the new mode equipped. This does not prevent you from having other items in your offhand!

    Ranged Mode
      
    1) Propel - Throw Atlan directly at your feet to propel yourself off the ground
    2) Stormstriker - Throw Atlan at any enemy or the ground to summon a lightning bolt and wind burst at the position of impact.
    3) Cloudstep - While midair, throwing Atlan will temporarily summon clouds that will lift you up. Combined with intermittent bursts of slow falling, it'll feel like you're hovering in the air.


    Riptide Mode

    1) Updraft - Propelling yourself using Riptide activates slow falling when the wielder is midair, allowing for increased airtime as well as air control.
    2) Grand Slam - When midair, propelling yourself towards the ground or an enemy at high speed will create an impact that damages nearby enemies and sends them flying.


    In Water

    
    1) Conduit Power and Dolphin's Grace - When held in the mainhand, Atlan grants the wielder permanent conduit power and dolphin's grace. Combined with the weapon's built in depth strider and aqua affinity attributes, you'll be zooming through the oceans.

    2) Hydrosurge - When the wielder enters water, a protection dome will be activated temporarily, which gives the wielder certain effects for a short period of time. This dome will not be activated again unless the player leaves and re-enters water, and the effects have wore off.

    Maelstrom
    
    By using Atlan, the weapon will be charged. When Atlan is fully charged, you may use its special ability by equipping it in ranged mode when on the ground and striking it directly at the sky, from which an animation will begin to play. This ability summons a whirlwind at all nearby enemies and sends tridents barreling down from the sky. Picking up Atlan at the ability's end will cause all the tridents to then disappear.

    This datapack is the first draft of a huge passion project of mine that I’m thrilled to see come to life! I’m fairly new to datapacks so please let me know if you notice any bugs or have any questions about how anything works. Thanks for playing!

    Encountered some problems with the datapack


    1.For the datapack to start working you have to enter the command /function atlanmain:load or /relaoad

    2.This is probably a compatibility issue with my mods but the texture pack changes all tridents to the new texture for me

    3.Switching from riptide to loyalty doesnt work (havent been able to test riptide abilites because of this)

    4.The recovery ritual requires the chunk to be unloaded and loaded again for it to start (probably intended beacuse i had the trident in my inventory while doing it)



    Tested on paper server 1.21

    Here are some recomendations (just random ideas i had)

    1.Upgrades for the trident (getting them:ritual,number of mob/player kills,structures where the trident can be upgraded (in the form of maybe bossfight or ritual);upgrades:Increased damage,range,passive effects while trident in inventory(strength,regen,exc.)



    2.Weakness to lava/heat sources (for balance reasons)




    3.New abilites (in the form of upgrades)


    1) Maybe a bad idea but teleportation (when you activate the ability water surrounds you and you get struck by lightning and teleported to your chosen coordinates,coordinates are input in gui or /function command)
    2) Pocket dimension / Training grounds of some sort (dimension of just water,teleport to it with the same animation as 1.)

    3)Wrath of poseidon Ultimate ability for last resort situations (Floods surrounding area,kills entites within that area but permanently depowers trident,can be done only 3 times before the trident breaks permenantly)

    My problem is that when I leave the items on the anvil, they disappear, but the trident does not come. When I try to try it with the rescue compass and the heart of the sea, the heart of the sea disappears even as it beats from my hand. How do I solve it?[img title="Topluluk Tarafından Doğrulandı simgesi" width=16 height=16]blob:www.planetminecraft.com/270cb1cf-d9c8-40fa-b731-5507c799532f[/img]
