About this Mod

About this mod

This mod adds two new neutral mobs to the game that have a chance to spawn when it is raining at night.

How the mobs work

Skelly has a chance of spawning when it is raining at night and will passively spawn Bones around him if Bones does not exist.

When traded with, they will give the player XP. The trades are random, and the enchantments on the trades are always randomized.

If Bones or Skelly is attacked, they will fight whatever is attacking them back, whether it be the player or an iron golem.

New Items

The Iron Pike is a new iron sword-like item that can be enchanted like a sword but is slower than a sword, though it does more damage than an iron sword.

The Iron Knight Helmet is the same as the Iron Helmet but with better states like armor toughness and knockback resistance.

Neither of these items can be crafted and have to be gotten by either trading with or killing Skelly and Bones.

The items can be repaired using iron blocks.

Config Settings and how to use the the Config

To use the config, you have to go into your Minecraft game directory, then go into the "config" folder and it should be there. You can edit the config with Notepad, Notepad++, or any code editor you may have installed.

Config Settings:

1: dialogue_when_close If set to true, then Skelly and Bones will talk in chat when close by; if set to false, they will not talk in chat.

2: spawning_sound If set to true, then a small tune will play when Skelly and Bones spawn in If set to false, then the small tune will not play when they spawn in.

3: spawning_message If set to true, then a message will show up in chat indicating that they have spawned somewhere. If set to false, then there will be no message that shows up in the chat when they spawn.

4: spawn_bones_around_skelly_only_when_raining_and_night If set to false, then bones will always spawn around Skelly. If set to true, then bones will only spawn around Skelly when it is nighttime and raining.
