Highlights#
- A real Java mod. 7.3 was an addon pack held together with
KubeJS scripts,
Palladium functions and
CoreWithStuff. 8.0 is
rebuilt from the ground up as a standard Java mod that's still a
Palladium addon, so it's faster, more reliable and needs far fewer
other mods. - Every stone got bigger. Around 25 new abilities, including Mind Illusions, Mind Reading, Disguise, Spatial Lock, Jump Teleport, Energy Blast, Super Punch, Rocket Burst, Power Cyclone, Soul Storage, Soul Heal and Soul Drain.
- A new gauntlet. Any stone fits any slot, its own stone menu opens with G, the stones stay on the gauntlet item, and skins belong to the gauntlet.
- A new Snap. Four separate abilities you press twice to confirm, and Kill Half really kills now.
- New ways to travel. Space Stone portals rebuilt from scratch, see-through portals with Immersive Portals, and a Tesseract that jumps between dimensions.
- Everything under
/infinity. All commands moved there, with new admin commands. - Built for addons. JSON systems for custom stones, skins, gauntlets, ground items and skill tree themes.

The Infinity Gauntlet#
| 7.3 | 8.0 | |
|---|---|---|
| Stone menu | CoreWithStuff's menu, one fixed slot per stone | Its own menu. Any stone fits any slot, addon stones too |
| Opening it | Right-click in the main hand, or the Open GUI ability | The G key, or right-click in the main hand |
| Where the stones live | On the player | On the gauntlet item, so they go wherever it goes |
| Where it gives powers | Off hand, main hand, Curios hands or Trinkets glove | Off hand or Curios hands |
| Skins | 17, belonging to the player | 19 (new: Cheeselander and the Burnt Gauntlet), belonging to the gauntlet |
| Other things as gauntlets | Omnitrixes and the Black Panther necklace, built in | Any item or power, through custom gauntlet files |
The gauntlet also shows its stones properly in its tooltip, has a first-person look based on
Lucraft Core's, and no longer has the
syncing problems 7.3's tree warned about. See The Infinity Gauntlet.
The Snap#
- 7.3's Snap wheel with five options is now four separate abilities: Kill Half of All Entities, Kill All Hostile, Kill Other Players and Destroy Stones. Each one needs pressing twice within 3 seconds, so you can't snap by accident.
- Kill Half really kills. In 7.3 the snapped half was sent to the Soulworld. Now they turn to dust. Kill All Hostile and Kill Other Players still send their targets to a locked cell in the Soulworld.
- Bring Back the Snapped is gone, since nothing is stored in the Soulworld any more.
- Destroy Stones is a 7 second ritual with a burst for each stone, and it earns Peace in our Time.
- The burn works the same way: half a heart and locked abilities for a Minecraft day.
More on The Snap.
The stones#
- All six now work in the
Curios head slot. In 7.3 only the Mind Stone did. - Each stone's skill tree is drawn in its own color, and most passives have a free toggle so you can switch them off.
- The Power Stone's power is now
infinity:(it waspower_stone infinity:).power_stone_passive
Power Stone#
- New: Energy Blast (a damaging bolt that scales with your power level) replaces 7.3's Impower, which gave Health Boost and Resistance.
- New: Super Punch, Rocket Burst and Power Cyclone.
- Changed: Cosmic Explosion was a ring of TNT around you. It's now the unlock for Rocket Burst and Power Cyclone.
- Changed: Meteor Storm breaks a moon apart over the spot you look at, sized by your power level, instead of dropping 20 deepslate meteors.
- Changed: at full power, Power Blast explodes where it hits instead of summoning TNT.
- Changed: holding the bare stone used to set off a ring of TNT and give you Wither. Now the stone becomes unstable, and a cyclone of energy fires rockets around you.
Space Stone#
- New: Jump Teleport (a portal pair to the block you look at) replaces 7.3's look-at Teleport.
- New: Spatial Lock freezes whatever you hold with Telekinesis in place.
- Removed: the Teleport Command and
/space_tp. The rebuilt Teleport GUI menu does the same job without
CoreWithStuff. - Changed: Telekinesis picks up blocks as well as mobs, is a toggle instead of a hold, and throws what you hold like a projectile.
- Changed: Black Hole follows where you look and can be thrown, instead of staying put.
- Changed: the tree starts at Force Field instead of being one long line, and the portals work with
Immersive Portals.
Reality Stone#
- Changed: Block Duplication, which added blocks you looked at to your inventory, became Copy Block and Paste Block. Copy any block, then turn other blocks (or everything around you) into it.
- Removed: Effects, which gave everything within 100 blocks Blindness, Nausea, Darkness and Slowness.
Soul Stone#
- New: Soul Storage, Soul Heal and Soul Drain. Kill things to store up to 50 souls, spend them on healing, or pull the soul out of a mob.
- Changed: Exit Soulworld sends everyone back to the exact spot they came from. In 7.3 it dropped them above the same X and Z in the Overworld.
- Changed: Effect Immunity stops bad effects from being applied at all, instead of clearing them every tick.
Time Stone#
- Changed: Stop Projectile catches every projectile within 6 blocks (not just a set list), holds it as long as it's near you and lets it go 2 seconds after.
- Changed: the Time Command uses
/and always moves time forward.infinity time set - Changed: Slow Time and Freeze Time talk to
Chrono API directly instead of running its commands, and keep you moving at
normal speed.
Mind Stone#
- New: Mind Illusions, Mind Reading and Disguise.
- Changed: Intangibility has a 10 second cooldown.
Containers and items#
| 7.3 | 8.0 | |
|---|---|---|
Cosmi-Rod | A separate item for each stone | One rod with a socket for any stone, addon stones included, plus the Shockwave ability |
Orb | The same 15-turn combination in every world | A random combination per world, with its length in the config |
Eye of Agamotto | Taking the stone out left an Empty Eye | One animated Eye you open, take the stone from and put it back into |
Tesseract | Only held for the Space Stone's power | Right-click to jump to the next dimension, and it opens with a burst of rays |
Aether | Broke open straight away | Its lids swing open and red light pours out first |
| Dropped stones and containers | Props on invisible armor stands | Proper ground items that can't be destroyed, and stones are rescued from the void |
| Telephone | Only worked if the Guardian was loaded | Finds the Soul Guardian wherever it is, and it always gets home |
Also new: the Temple Beacon. The old Black Hole item is gone.

Worlds and exploration#
- Vormir's Edge is built one chunk at a time as you explore, instead of all at once, so
Huge Structure Blocks isn't needed. - The Garden is now a planet in
Ad Astra too. - The world remembers whether the Power Stone and Time Stone were taken in its own save data, instead of a barrier block on Morag.
- Six new advancements, including a hidden one. See Advancements.
- Old 7.3 worlds are converted when they load. What changes is on Configuration.
For addon makers and server owners#
- Custom stones, gauntlet skins, custom gauntlets with their own menus, ground items and skill tree themes, all from JSON.
- 43 ability types and 14 conditions you can use in your own
Palladium powers. See the Ability Reference. - A config file and /infinity ability disable to switch any ability off on a server.
