Soul's Shuriken's

Soul’s Shuriken's is a combat-focused Minecraft mod that adds a range of throwable shuriken's, each with unique elemental effects and gameplay interactions. Developed as a personal passion project outside of university, the mod demonstrates proficiency in Java, object oriented programming, and the Forge API.

The project supports multiple Minecraft versions and includes a custom rendering system in newer builds to simulate realistic spinning animations for the shuriken's, enhancing both visual feedback and player immersion. Designed with modularity and scalability in mind, the code follows SOLID principles and utilizes reusable class hierarchies for weapons, effects, and item behaviours.

With over 5,000 downloads (including earlier server-side releases), Soul’s Shuriken's has gained a small but active player base. I have actively engaged with the community to gather feedback and implement user suggested features, reflecting both my technical adaptability and collaborative mindset.

Skills Practiced:

• Java programming and object-oriented design

• Integration with the Minecraft Forge API

• Custom renderer implementation using dynamic transformations

• Modular class hierarchies for scalable gameplay systems

• Version compatibility and build maintenance across releases

• Community-driven development and feature iteration

• Debugging and optimization for real-time game performance
