About this Mod
Gnomes!
Cheeky little FREAKS have invaded Minecraft!?
👃 Gnomes! is a mod that adds a new, whimsical g'nome to Minecraft.
- Gnomes are a rare, interdimensional mobs that can be found in (almost) every biome.
- Gnomes are skittish creatures and will not hesitate to punch you if you get too close.
- You can sometimes find gnomes sleeping, eating mushrooms, riding foxes, hiding (poorly) from dangerous mobs, and more!
- Drops completely random loot and one guaranteed spawn egg.
- You can dye their hats. I don't know why you can do that, but you can!
- Flammable.
Spawning
Spoiler
Because gnomes can drop rare items, finding one can be tricky. Gnomes can spawn three different ways:
- They have a small chance to spawn in almost every vanilla biome (and some modded biomes). Spawn rate can vary from biome to biome depending on how many different mobs can spawn at that location.
- Gnomes can spawn inside specific biome-generated blocks, similar to silverfish.
- Gnomes can disguise themselves as other mobs.
A player's luck stat affects the chance to spawn as an entity or block, so be sure to buff your luck before gnome hunting.
