DISCLAIMER: THIS MOD MAY OR MAY NOT BE DISCONTINUED, HOWEVER IF IT IS UPDATED IT WILL BE PORTED TO LATER VERSIONS SINCE THE ISSUES PREVIOUSLY STOPPING ME FROM DOING THAT HAVE BEEN RESOLVED.
Hey there! I HIGHLY recommend you at least read this part of the mod description before jumping straight into it. Also, please be respectful if you find bugs, since this is my first mod and it will probably have a few issues.
Also, this mod now requires Geckolib!
This mod adds Something, which is a hostile entity that is annoying at best. It utilizes the chat, and it watches you from afar, attacking you if you're close enough. If you're using this mod with other mods that modify the game a LOT, or that take over your world progressively (ex. Scape and Run Parasites) I recommend that you keep the gamerule somethingIsDestructive false so it doesn't cause issues with the other mods. However, if you aren't adding other mods that do stuff like that, I recommend turning somethingIsDestructive to true, because it's a fun (but stressful) experience! Why do I say this? Setting the gamerule somethingIsDestructive to true enables Something's ability to take over the world. It turns normal blocks into blocks of Something, which spread fast if you don't deal with them quickly. They are also very dangerous to step on. Also, if you find Something's text in the chat annoying, you can turn it off by setting gamerule somethingTalksToYou to false. If you feel like Something is infecting your land too fast or too slow, you can change the "somethinginfectionspeed" gamerule. 10 is the default, and higher values make it slower while lower values make it faster.
Alright, if you want to keep things a surprise, you don't have to read beyond this point! The mod has in-game tips for what you can do (via the advancements and some books), I still recommend reading though!
Something is very powerful on its own, having 75 hearts and dealing 5 hearts of damage. It also ONLY takes damage from player attacks. And they do not despawn on their own. Yeah, this mod's a bit rough on you.
Something has three forms. It's default form is the strongest, while the other two are more weak and easier to deal with.
Its default, landlocked form:
Its aerial form:
And its aquatic form:
If you kill one of these forms, you'll get an Essence of Something! (Sorry for the abhorrent image quality, the texture is tiny.)
You can use it to make a Something Scythe, though it heals Something and you cannot wield it without a Nothing Chestplate.
So, what else can you do with an Essence of Something? You can craft a block of Something, but that's not very useful as of now. You can also use it to brew a potion that just makes you experience hell on earth, but why would you do that? The main use is smelting it and turning it into an Essence of Nothing, which can be used to craft things that help you fight back against the invasion of Something. (if you have the gamerule somethingIsDestructive set to true, of course)
With an Essence of Nothing, you can craft multiple things:
A block of Nothing, which can be used to protect your land from being infected.
A Nothing Catalyst which when used with a corrupted heart can stop the spread of Something.
A Nothing Sword, which does extra damage to Something and it's aerial and aquatic forms.
A Something Purification Bomb, which is similar to TNT, but its stronger. It also doesn't need a flint and steel to light, when you right click it will give you a warning that it will detonate in 5 seconds. Like it's name implies, it's useful for getting rid of blocks of Something.
A Something Purification Flask (it's not a grenade but it's close enough.) which is similar to the bomb in the way that it's useful to destroy blocks of Something with, but it has a smaller explosive radius, it can be thrown, and it acts fast.
And a set of Nothing armor, which the boots enable to you to be able to walk on blocks of Something without taking damage! The chestplate allows you to wield the Something Scythe without taking damage as well!
You can also trade a villager for a missing texture bandana! It doesn't have a purpose yet. It just looks cool.
Something has some company! And a new rival.
Nothing is now here, with the purpose of trying to help you defeat Something. When you join a world it will try to help you via talking to you in chat.
Something Stalker: (credit to Violet for helping me come up with the design!)
It doesn't mean any harm, it just watches you from afar. It exists just to unnerve you.
Something Bomber: (credit to Fawn for helping me design this thing!)
It's similar to a creeper. It follows you but only explodes if you hit it.
There are also assimilated mobs! They are similar to Something, though they are weaker and easier to deal with. The assimilated versions of passive mobs are weaker, while assimilated versions of monsters are more difficult to deal with.
Assimilated Zombie:
Assimilated Skeleton:
Assimilated Creeper:
Assimilated Spider:
Assimilated Enderman:
Assimilated Chicken:
Assimilated Sheep:
Assimilated Pig:
Assimilated Cow:
Assimilated Wolf:
They don't drop anything useful, most of them only drop contaminated meat, which i HIGHLY recommend you do NOT eat. However, you can use the contaminated meat to tame the Assimilated Wolves!
There is also a biome called Something Plains, which is just land that Something has corrupted and taken over. There's also two structures (a shrine and an abandoned house!)
In later versions, there is now a beating heart underground in some areas. It's the key to stopping the spread of Something.
That about covers the main features of the mod! I will try to update it often so I hope you have fun with it! Also, please do tell me if you find any issues (of course, don't yell at me, tell me in a respectful way) so I can (try) to fix them!
