Trial Shrine

A non gear based challenge to gain hearts back after death

Instead of regaining hearts by simply eating a golden / enchanted golden apple, hearts are recovered through a one-time, structure-based challenge:

The mod adds a new world structure that can be located using an eye-like item (crafted with a specific block) that points to the structure.

Each structure acts as a Trial Shrine that teleports you into a Cataclysm arena and makes you fight its boss (L_Ender’s Cataclysm is required).

To keep the difficulty consistent for everyone, the shrine provides a temporary kit designed to:

preserve the intended boss experience, and

make the fight fair regardless of your prior gear or progression.

The kit is wiped when you clear the arena or die, so you can’t farm or carry the equipment out.

Each shrine is accessible only once per player, permanently—disconnecting, dying, or returning later won’t reset your eligibility.

The result: heart recovery stays meaningful and equally challenging throughout the entire playthrough, instead of becoming trivial once you’re geared.
