Create
Well duh
Bewitchment
An exccellent modernization of Witchery from the 1.7.10 days. Lends itself greatly to a fantastic multiplayer experiance. Wether thats polyjuice poitoins, voodo, or curses. Ontop of that is holds a whole host of magical things to explore.
Sortilege
A more vanilla focused magic mod that also reblances anvil reparing and enchanting. Enchanting now requires a third item allowing you to zero in on what enchants you actually want.
Consecration
A mod that makes PVE much less of a joke. The undead will not die, until you smite/burn them. Don't worry the villagers seem to have figured out enchanting. All guard villagers swords come pre enchanted with smite (No you can't steal it).
Core Features
Reworked Combat
Ontop of the obvious additions like Better Combat and Combat Roll. Malficarum includes a rework on natural generation. Making alternative healing sources much more usefull.
- Natural regen is nerfed below regeneration effects
- Sleeping heals
- Other mods introduce easier healing methods
Food no longer heals you to full mid combat all damage is meaningfull.
Distance Matters
Gone are the days of slapping down a waystone every twenty seconds to warp back home cause you forgot food. But also, gone are the days of spending 45 minutes trecking back to base. With Via Romania, forge fast travel paths between bases. Create trade routes or become a highway robber. Ontop of that ancient city frames have all been connected to a network allowing instant travel of insane distances
Dont forget the simple voice chat + radios mod. You can talk to people only when you can hear them. And yes, the magical omnipotent text chat is reduced to but a local one (Personal taste remove local chat if thats not your style)
Factions
Create factions, start wars and forge alliances.
Real Progression
Using End Remastered and Bosses of Mass destruction, getting to the End is no longer a simple grind up 12 eyes. Many bosses and structers from both dimensions must be defeated first.
Revamped vanilla bosses
To make sure the Wither and Enderdragon don't feel left out they have been buffed to high hell.
