About this Mod
Apocalyptic Scythes adds 5 powerful scythes to Minecraft, each with a unique ability activated by right-clicking.
Scythes
Fire Scythe — Summons fire structures and explosions in front of you. Grants fire resistance and slow falling after use.
Ice Scythe — Creates ice structures that freeze nearby enemies. Surrounds them with powder snow for extra effect.
Soul Scythe — Has two modes: right-click to place soul sand and soul fire traps, shift+right-click to absorb souls from nearby entities, increasing your attack damage temporarily.
Time Scythe — Creates a time bubble that slows all entities around you while granting you a speed boost. The bubble is visible as a temporary structure.
Black Hole Scythe — Creates a black hole that pulls all nearby entities toward a single point.
Upgrades
All scythes can be upgraded using the Scythe Essence, combinable in an anvil to increase damage. The cost in levels increases with each upgrade.
A scythe can be transformed into another using the Transformer block and Scythe Essence. Useful for duplicates!
Loot
Scythe Essence and scythes can be found in loot chests of specific structures, including Ancient Cities, Bastions, End Cities, Igloos, Pillager Outposts, Ruined Portals, Taiga Villages and Woodland Mansions.
