Overview

Infinite Upgrades adds a repeatable gear infusion loop built around souls, reputation, and two ritual paths.

Defeat mobs to collect soul orbs into a Soul Cage, place an Angel Statue or Demon Statue, then use the statue UI to attempt upgrades on weapons, armor, and mining tools. Successful infusions increase the item's upgrade level and permanently improve its managed stats. Failed infusions shift your reputation and can roll back the latest upgrade batch.

Main Systems

Soul Cage

The Soul Cage stores soul units. Soul orbs are collected automatically when the player has a Soul Cage in the offhand, hotbar, or main inventory.

The cage tooltip shows the stored soul total. The infusion UI consumes soul units from the cage before the attempt starts.

Angel Infusion

Angel infusions are the consistent path. On success, Angel touches every eligible stat on the item:

• Vanilla combat attributes present on the item, if enabled by config.
• Block Speed for mining tools.

Angel uses the Angel ritual multiplier from the server config.

Demon Infusion

Demon infusions are the focused path. On success, Demon chooses exactly one eligible stat and applies the Demon ritual multiplier to that stat only.

When several stats are eligible, the chosen stat is weighted by the attribute rule weights. Block Speed can also be chosen for mining tools.

Reputation

Each player has one reputation value:

• Positive reputation favors Angel.
• Negative reputation favors Demon.
• The side you use adjusts reputation after each attempt.
• Reputation modifies success chance, then clamps the bonus or penalty so it cannot grow without limit.

Supported Gear

An item can enter the infusion slot when it is either:

• A mining tool recognized through vanilla mining tags or the digger-item fallback.
• A combat item with supported combat attributes.

Default supported combat stats include attack damage, attack speed, armor, armor toughness, and knockback resistance. Modded attributes can be added through server config.

Block Speed

Mining tools receive a custom Block Speed stat instead of relying on a vanilla attribute. The bonus is stored on the item and affects block breaking speed when the held tool is correct for the block being mined.

The Block Speed bonus appears in tooltips and in the infusion details panel.
