About this Mod
Feedback is appreciated!
This is a small mod that adds Helians! Small, cute sunflower creatures who live in a temple in the sunflower plains biome! Trade with them to get “Helian Fragments”, a new material used to make blocks but more importantly, Helian Alloy Ingots, which you can use to make armor, tools, and weapons.
The structure in where Helians live, the Helian Temple:
Items, armor, and blocks:

Mobs:
Spoiler
Helian:
The normal helian variant, this type of helian can trade helian tokens in exchange for gold bars, these tokens are an essential part of the mod, as they allow the player to trade them in exchange for Helian Bundles.
Helian professionals:
The helian professionals can trade Bundles corresponding to the profession of the helian, these sacks contain profession-related loot also including helian fragments, an essential part of the mod, alongside Helian Upgrade Smithing Template, and rarely some Hydrosun, a Helian beverage.
Helian Blacksmith:
This Helian variant is one of the most important ones as it is the only one that can forge Helian gear for the player (All Helian armor, Helian tools and Helian shield).
GUI
Helian Miner:
The Helian Miner has a very unique use, as you can trade it 8 of any stone block (Cobblestones, Netherrack and Endstone) and one Helian Token and it will mine them, giving you resources based on the type of stone.
GUI
Helian Painter:
You can multiply dyes with this Helian! Just give it some Tokens and the Dye you wanna multiply, but keep in mind that you have to give the Helian Painter the same amount of Tokens as Dyes. The Helian Painter Bundle gives you a ton of dyes and can give you paintings too.
GUI
Helian Redstoner:
This genius Helian can trade you some redstone components in exchange for 3 Helian Tokens.
GUI
Helian Empress:
The monarch of all Helian kind. She doesn't really do anything, and it's merely for decoration.
Helian Warrior:
The Helian Warriors serve as te guards of the temple. If you hit an Helian, they'll attack you.
Helian Golem:
The Helian Golems protect the temple along with the Helian Warriors. They're very resistant and are quite strong.
Helian Sprite:
The Helian Sprites inhabit inside of the Helian Golems, and only spawn after killing one. Even tho they're small and die easily, they pack a punch.
This mod also adds some new sunflower-related paintings:
