Midas Playable Class

This datapack is part of the Playable Classes combo pack, which introduces new playstyles via classes that drastically alter gameplay.

Midas Playable Class adds a playable class to the game, Midas. Midas players are cursed to turn anything they hold or wear into gold, which is only reversed by water. However, they gain powerful buffs through the use of their Midas-touched gear and may also turn other creatures' gear into gold. While gold is inherently fragile, Midas players can take advantage of its flexibility to open up new enchanting opportunities and use their wealth to achieve new heights.

Give a player this class by running the command /tag <player> add dc_midas, and remove it by running /tag <player> remove dc_midas (requires op).

Abilities

• Shiiiny: All Piglins (even the more brutish variants) adore you and will never become hostile towards you.

• Golden Touch: Holding or wearing certain items makes them become Midas-touched, transforming into their golden variant.

  • This includes the following items:

    • Any armor, tool, and sword, including horse armor.

    • Foodstuffs with golden variants.

    • Various Copper, Iron, Diamond, and Netherite-based items, including ore, raw ore, ingots, nuggets, and full blocks.

  • Midas-touched item data is stored in the item's NBT, and thus is preserved using the same rules as item names and item lore. Certain actions such as crafting with the item or using it as the secondary item in an anvil may irreversibly remove the Midas-touched data, making the item permanently gold.

  • Items that are already gold cannot be Midas-touched, and are not considered Midas-touched items.

  • Armor and tool durability percentage remains constant when becoming Midas-touched, rounded up.

• Water Reversal: Submerging any Midas-touched item into water, including any currently held or worn item by a creature, reverses the Midas touch and returns the item back to its original state.

  • This also occurs in rain (unless holding an umbrella) and in Water Cauldrons.

  • Armor and tool durability percentage remains constant when reversed by water, rounded up.

• Midas's Greed: You gain beneficial status effects when using Midas-touched gear.

  • You have Regeneration when wearing at least two pieces of Midas-touched armor.

  • You gain 20% damage resistance from all sources when wearing a full set of Midas-touched armor.

  • You have Haste II while wielding a Midas-touched item in your mainhand.

• Midas's Revenge: Striking any armor-wearing creature with your bare fist has a 20% chance to Midas-touch their individual armor pieces. In addition, when struck by another player you have a 5% chance to Midas-touch their weapon.

• Midas's Prosperity: All Absorption effects stack, allowing you to replenish or gain more Absorption Hearts in increments of 2 hearts. In addition, all received Absorption effects last for at least 5 minutes.

  • Example. If you have more than 2 Absorption hearts but less than 4, eating a Golden Apple replenishes this to 4 Absorption hearts. Eating another Golden Apple results in 6 Absorption hearts total.

  • Up to 10 Absorption hearts (a full additional bar of health) can be gained in this manner.

  • Golden Carrots do not increase your Absorption level, but refresh the duration of the Absorption effect and replenish Absorption Hearts up to the nearest 2 hearts.

• Golden Apple Enchantment: You can throw a Golden Apple on top of an Enchantment Table and expend 30 levels to turn it into an Enchanted Golden Apple.

  • Midas-touched Enchanted Golden Apples lose their enchanted status permanently when reversed by water, but drop experience (slightly less than 30 levels) if reversed in this manner.
