About this Mod
Depths of Madness
Depths of madness is a mod submitted for the 1.12.2 Modding Coalitions fall mod jam. This mod consists of a new horrific being that lies at the bottom of the very ocean. To locate this creature, you'll first have to boat out into the ocean and look for something that doesn't quite belong there.

-The Forsaken Temple: A new structure found in the ocean biomes, you can find this by looking for the statue poking out of the water
-The Thrall: A new enemy found within the temple, screaming and whining in pain as it'll try to attack you
-Claw Trap: Another new enemy that seeks to tie you to it's position and finish you off from the other dangers in the temple
- The Hierophant: The boss of the temple, it's eerie presence haunts your travels throughout the halls, challenging you as you get closer to the middle
-Staff of the Forgotten: The item dropped from slaying the Hierophant, a staff capable of harnessing the Hierophant's powers
-Temple Stone: A new complete set of building blocks acquired from the Temple. Strong as Obsidian
- Many configuration options ranging from spawnrate of the temple, to health and attack damage of the enemies, and much more!
This mod will be receiving another update or two before we consider it complete, just like End Expansion: The Lamented Islands.
