Haunted Sands

A StationAPI mod for Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 that adds new sand types, graves, and lost souls.

• Special thanks to DRAGON-STUDIO and HorrorSoundsAsWav over on Pixabay for the mob sounds!
• Credit to K1W1XD and Mimihanne for the skins used to make the lost soul entity.
• Mod works on Multiplayer with GlassConfigAPI version 3.0+ used to sync configs!
  • Requires ZastavkaAPI to work on servers, until StationAPI fixes its falling blocks.
• All features can be enabled/disabled through GlassConfigAPI as well.

Other Features

• Ability to create a lost soul on player death that is wearing the dead player's armor
  • Lost soul is a new flying mob that can no clip through blocks
  • The lost soul attacks by charging the player
    • Charge speed increases as the mob gets closer to their player target
    • Lost souls can charge a second time if they are in a solid opaque block
  • You can trap lost souls in translucent blocks like tree leaves, ice, glass, snow layers, tall grass, etc.
    • If you are having trouble with lost souls the surface is your friend!
  • Lost souls drop stolen armor on death along with a locked chest (used in the Grave crafting recipe)
  • No lost soul will be created if player inventory and armor slots are empty
  • Lost souls also spawn rarely when soul sand is broken
• Ability to create a grave on player death that contains main inventory items (including hotbar)
  • The grave will not contain armor or modded slot items
  • Grave vanishes on use and items are dropped (a permanent version can be crafted, see recipe below)
  • Grave is blast resistant to creepers
    • A creeper standing on it may still be able to blow it up (usually only happens with slab graves)
  • Grave will be a slab if less than half or half the main inventory slots are filled
    • Grave slabs combine using beta slab logic
  • Grave will be a full block (Columbarium) if more than half the main inventory slots are filled
  • No grave will be created if player main inventory is empty
• Pigs will now seek out sugar and brown mushrooms when they are in item form
  • Pigs will eat the sugar healing them 0.5 hearts if they are hurt
  • The pigs are rather finicky and sometimes won't seek out or do anything
    • You can try to push/prod them to get them moving again, but it won't always work
  • Saddled pigs also have a slight pathing preference for sugar cube and brown mushroom blocks (not noticeable in small quantities)
    • Saddled pigs lose their slight pathing preference for grass blocks since they are now seeking the other blocks

Crafting Recipes

All crafting recipes can be turned on/off from the mod config menu.

• All sands/cubes are crafted by placing 4 of the correct item in a square.
  • If enabled sands/cubes can be de-crafted back into 4 of the item used to make them. (default disabled)
• Graves can be crafted with soul sand, any vanilla slab, and either a regular chest or a locked chest.
  • Locked chests are a vanilla block that is normally unobtainable but will drop when a lost soul mob is killed.
