About this Mod
Will add a few mobs from dungeon like games and shows, for now it only adds 4 mobs. But I will try to polish them all and give them good animations(With my Skills). This mod is meant to add more mobs that add a sense of danger. Below are all the mobs and things explained in a bit more detail.
The Mobs
The Mushmush
Spawns on mushroom islands and looks like a big living mushroom. Comes in to different types, brown and red mushroom. The brown mushroom types are rarer but can be gotten from striking the red ones with lightning. They spray out poison gas when hit and try to run away. They drop their mushroom type when killed and rarly their mushrom block, they also drop mushush meat and toxic spore when killed.
The Stalker
Creepy dudes made of stone and controlled by sculk like puppets. Spawn in the Deep dark or in dripstone caves. They will attack you on sight but will crawl under the ground to get to you fast. They will pull you into the ground when attacking and are quite strong. They drop Echo shards on death.
The Gargoyle
Stone Statues that appear in ruined stony structures usually underground, like the Stronghold. They do not attack on sight or roam around but sit in one place twitching every once in a while. If you brush against them they will get a little angry and if you start beating them up then the whole squad is after you if there is one. When killed they sometimes give some stone cores but usually give some cobblestone and random ores. They sometimes look a bit different.
Will-O-Wisps
Blue flames normally that live in swampy areas like swamps(really) and mangroves and even soul sand valleys. On sight they will try to attack you, but they float to you in a quite random way. However they apply the visions effect when they hit you which isn't good and the time which it gives is a bit exponential so get hit once and it's just for 20 seconds maybe but 6 times and it's like 4 minutes. They do not look like the picture below normally since they are normally just flame particles, but you can change a gamerule for them to look like this.
Hallucinations
Player like beings that start appearing when you have the visions effect. Can only be destroyed by sleeping or when they hit you.
Items
Mushush Meat
Gotten from Mushmush and is a little better than cooked beef. However it takes a long time to eat and has a small chance to poison the eater.
Cooked Mushmush Meat
Well it's cooked Mushush Meat. Half as good as mushush meat but eaten twice as fast without any bad effects.
Toxic Spore
Gotten from Mushmush and can be thrown to poison targets.
Toxic Bomb
Crafted with some gunpowder, leather, and some toxic spores. Can be thrown for a small explosion and a big poison cloud that of course poisons everything in it.
Echo Hood
Hood crafted from Echo shards, Sculk Vein, and a chainmail helmet. Gives the darkness effect when worn but applies night vision and steals hunger when sneaking. Can be enchanted with two new enchants, "Pure Sight" and "Dweller of Darkness"
Structures
Super Mushroom
Spawns in mushroom islands and is just a wider normal big mushroom, but it has a Mushmush spawner inside.
Other
Enchanting Bottle Recipe
These dudes can be crafted with echo shards, lapis and a bottle.
Will-O-Wisp in a Jar
Go Will-O-Wisp Hunting and right-click a little fella with a empty bottle to scoop him up. Can be placed down and is like a lantern but worse but better since it has a animated texture. However breaking the bottle will release them so be careful.
"Dweller of Darkness" Enchant
Only for the Echo Hood, Gives boosts when in darkness with speed at first and resistance at max level. Higher level means more speed. Incompatible with the Pure Sight Enchant.
Levels 1-3
"Pure Sight" Enchant
Only for the Echo Hood, gets rid of the darkness debuff. Incompatible with the Dweller of Darkness Enchant.
"Visions" Effect
Gotten when attacked by a Will-O-Wisp, it makes you slowly start seeing hallucinations that try to attack you while playing spooky noise too!
"Unbound" Effect
Brewed with Will-O-Wisps in a Jar and a phantom membrane up top, gives you low gravity. Has all the collectibles like tipped arrows, lingering potion, and a splash potion, along with the normal potion.
Advancements
"Hey! Who did that?"
Be hit by something (or someone) and realize it isn't real.
"Shackles No More!"
Discover "flight" and break your ties with gravity, even if temporary.
"Shrooms got to you?"
Get poisoned by a Mushush.
"Spotted"
Be seen by a Stalker, you probably shouldn't be reading this in the moment.
"Nobody Can Hear Me"
Obtain a Echo Hood, Blindness awaits!
It's a forge mod and no fabric. Post ideas on the github(or bugs)
Have fun! (thanks for 2000 downloads!!!!1!1? WAT)
