Reckoners

Reckoners is an unofficial fan project inspired by Brandon Sanderson's Reckoners series (Steelheart, Firefight, Calamity). It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Brandon Sanderson or Dragonsteel Entertainment, LLC. The series, its characters, world and terminology belong to them. This mod contains no book text and all its art and sounds are generated. If the rights holders object, it will be removed.

You start as an ordinary person. When an Epic falls near you (or after ten Minecraft days) the magic left behind awakens you, and you choose a power and a weakness from a menu, or describe your own and have it forged.

• Epic powers with real weaknesses: forcefields, healing factors, decoys, reflexive teleports, water, shadow and more. Every weakness is a rule you can exploit, in a notebook you fill in by watching.
• Cities to visit: Newcago, Babilar and Ildithia, with villagers who run from hostile Epics.
• The Reckoners as characters you can talk to and recruit (optional AI-driven conversation, see below).
• Gear: the Reckoner Rifle, the P328 gravatonic minigun, the Gravatonic Harness and tactical suit, drink balloons, an Epic scanner, and the wheeled Gravatonic Cycle.
• A campaign from awakening to the villain Obliteration.

AI features are optional. NPC conversation and "describe your own power" use a language model. A server owner can point it at an Anthropic API key (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) or the claude command line; with neither, NPCs use scripted lines and you pick pre-made powers. Chat text sent to NPCs goes to that provider. The mod never ships a key.

Dev commands (/reckoners ...) are operator-only. Install on the client and the server. See the in-game objective (top left) and press J to open the awakening menu.
