About this mod Author’s original text

Welcome to Crystalide

Crystalide is a mod that currently adds items only (for now).

The mod is inspired by a roleplaying game with friends, and draws from its universe.

At present, the mod introduces five unique items, with more in development.

Culpability Power (Tier 3 / Red Item)

Theme: Strength derived from guilt, kills, and the loss of allies.

Core Mechanics:

  • Gain +1 Culpability stack upon killing an enemy.
  • Each stack grants:
  • +1.2% to all base stats (damage, attack speed, movement speed)
  • +0.5 flat armor
  • +0.1 flat health regeneration
  • +0.05 flat critical strike chance
  • Maximum of 120 stacks per item instance.
  • If an ally dies:
  • Lose 50% of current stacks
  • Future kills grant +2 stacks per kill (instead of +1) for that stage.
  • All stacks reset upon the holder's death or the start of a new stage.
  • A buff icon visually indicates the number of Culpability stacks.

Gospel of Jealousy (Tier 2 / Green Item)

Theme: Envying and taking what others possess.

Core Mechanics:

  • At the start of each stage, copies 1 random item (+1 per stack) from another player's inventory.
  • Includes Lunar and Boss items in the copy pool.
  • In solo play: copies items from your own inventory instead (excluding this item).
  • This effect triggers only once per stage per player.

Theme: Embracing chaos for great power, at significant risk.

Core Mechanics:

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
