Doctor Who – Regeneration

Regeneration is the flagship feature of this mod. It is an ability that allows the player to prevent death for a maximum of 12 times, after which the player will die using vanilla Minecraft mechanics.

When the player regenerates, they will release a wave of fiery Regeneration energy, which heals the player, grants them multiple status effects and interacts with the environment, such as creating explosions, fire and knocking back nearby entities.

After the Regeneration process is complete, the player will gain unique abilities along with temporary side effects. See below for more details.

Upon death, the player will enter a state of “grace”. This allows the player to hold off their Regeneration for up to 15 minutes (configurable). This is especially useful if you are vulnerable or need to prevent nearby builds from burning.

If you wish to delay your regeneration for longer you just have to punch any block, and your hands will stop glowing. Keep in mind that you can only delay your regeneration for a limited amount of time, after which you'll die for real.

You can press 'R' (by default) to regenerate at any time while in a grace period.

Upon finishing the regeneration process, the player will be fully healed, fed and supplied with maximum oxygen, along with other temporary effects. Due to the traumatic nature of regenerating every cell in their body, the player can also experience additional temporary negative side effects.

In addition to experiencing post-regeneration side effects, the player will be able to gain a set of unique “traits” (aka “Genes”) as part of their new body. These can include traits such as:

• Non-flammable – Immune to fire damage!
• Hydrophobic – Nausea and Weakness when exposed to rain.
• Spider – Climb walls!
• And more!

The mod also allows you to change your skin after regenerating!

By placing skins in the .minecraft/mods/Regeneration/skins folder and using the in-game Regeneration Preferences, you can customize the skin file to use when regenerating.

The Preferences GUI also allows you to customise your regeneration energy colour, regeneration animation style and hand type.

Bio-container

The Bio-container allows you to retain your current body’s traits and passively store residual regeneration energy. This block can be made functional by inserting an amputated Hand into the Bio-container GUI.

You can retain your current traits by right clicking the Bio-container when regenerating. Note that you must target the block when regenerating.

You can also gain multiple Regenerations by Sneak+Right clicking the block when not in a regeneration state. Each Regeneration will use up 100 residual regeneration energy stored in the block.

Who knew an amputated body part could be used for achieving immortality?

Fob Watch

The Fob Watch allows you to store and gain a maximum of 12 regenerations.

Lindos Vial

The Lindos Vial is a 1.12.2 exclusive feature that allows the player to instantly begin regeneration or store a small amount of regeneration energy for later use.

Storing regeneration energy first requires the vial to be placed in water. The vial must then be filled with 100 Lindos energy, which can be gradually gained if the player holds a vial during the grace period and continues to hold it during the regeneration process.

Using a fully filled vial will immediately start the regeneration process and use up the stored Lindos energy, allowing for the vial to be reused in the future.

Hand

A Hand allows the player to store the player's current traits and add functionality to a Biocontainer.

The hand can be obtained if the player is damaged by a sharp object, such as a Sword, in the post-Regeneration phase. (By default, use Sneak+Right click with the sharp item)

Now, it may be shocking to see your hand missing after this, but don't worry! After the regeneration process has been completed, your residual regeneration energy will allow you to grow that hand back and you’ll be as good as new!

Lindos

Regeneration energy can be found in the form of Lindos energy particles. These particles can be stored by the player using the Lindos Vial.
