Zenith Renewed
Zenith Renewed (mod id zenith) is a Fabric port of Apotheosis, and it is the mod that actually runs the pack’s gear-rarity/affix system. It overhauls enchanting, adds “affix items” (gear with rolled stat bonuses and special effects), gem sockets, and a Reforging Table for re-rolling those affixes. On this server the Adventure, Spawner, and Village modules are disabled (config/zenith/zenith.cfg: Enable Adventure Module=false, Enable Spawner Module=false, Enable Village Module=false) while the Enchantment, Potion, and Garden modules are enabled — so Apotheosis’s boss/dungeon-spawner/village-trading features are off, but its enchanting rework and the affix-item/gem/reforging pipeline are live.
Zenith’s own rarity ladder (per its in-game guidebook, the “Chronicle of Shadows”) has 5 tiers: Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Mythic (no “Legendary” — that name belongs to Tierify’s separate ladder). Each rarity gates how many stat affixes, special-effect affixes, and gem sockets an item can roll: Common gets one stat bonus; Uncommon gets two stats and possibly a socket; Rare gets three stats plus a special effect, a socket, and a small durability bonus; Epic gets up to four stats, two effects, and two sockets; Mythic tops out at four stats, two-to-three effects, and three sockets plus a significant durability bonus. Special-effect affixes (“Rare+ only”) range from combat procs to utility — examples pulled from the lang file: Vampiric (lifesteal on hit), Thunderstruck (attacks deal AoE lightning damage to nearby enemies), Cleaving (chance to hit extra nearby enemies), Executing (instantly kills enemies below a % HP threshold), Telepathic (drops teleport straight to your inventory), and Festive (chance for a slain enemy to become a “Loot Piñata”). Gems (Cracked/Chipped/Flawed/[blank]/Flawless/Perfect quality prefixes, i.e. common→ancient) socket into gear via a Smithing Table and provide their own bonus, including boss/dimension-themed gems like the Gem of the Ravenous Blood Lord (Nether) and Endersurge Gem (End).
Reforging uses a Simple Reforging Table (up to Rare rarity) or an upgraded Reforging Table (Epic+), fed with rarity-tier materials (Mysterious Scrap Metal → Timeworn Fabric → Luminous Crystal Shard → Arcane Sands → Godforged Pearl → Manifestation of Infinity, for Common through Ancient) plus a Sigil of Rebirth as fuel; it offers three possible new affix rolls per attempt, similar to an enchanting table. Other utility items include the Sigil of Socketing (adds a socket), Sigil of Withdrawal (strips all gems), and Sigil of Unnaming (removes the affix name). Zenith Attributes Renewed supplies the underlying attribute framework this whole system runs on.
