About this Mod
DESCRIPTION:
Welcome to Withered Wanderers, a mod built for Minecraft 1.21 where there is two major themes present in the mod!
In the Nether, a new mob called the Withered Strider roams, being more tanky and doing less damage, but spawning in groups inside the Basalt Delta, Warped Forest, and Nether Wastes! Defeating these new mobs grants a Wither Fragment, and when mixed with the new use of soul sand to make soul essence, grants the Withered Soul Tools!
In the Overworld, the Glow-Berries get a new use! The Infected Glob is an Infection caused by the Glow-Berries, which can create 2 new blocks and a new Bow that has almost 3 times the durability compared to the Normal Bows 425 durability.
Overall, this Mod expands upon the Nether, allowing for more tools, mobs, and decorative blocks.
I used IntelliJ and Forge 51.0.33(Forge 1.21) to make this mod.
This project was made for a school project, if there are any bugs, please submit a review.
