Fantasy Illagers
by Melberry8
Fantasy Illagers adds new Illager mobs and fight structures for players to explore, including the Devourer's Keep and a set of named bosses.
What it does
Fantasy Illagers places new Illager structures across the world. The largest is Devourer's Keep, reached by climbing up snowy mountains, where the Devourer boss waits, and where a Temptation Altar offers a blood-based challenge. Players who defeat Illagers can take weapons and abilities from them.
Among the new mobs, the Distortioner twists reality to disorient foes, and the Occultist calls up Shades during a fight. The Machinist relies on a set of machines to bring down targets. Vampires and Vampire Chefs gather at Devourer's Keep by invitation, and a few other mobs such as Vampling, Moochanical and Unicorns and Rats appear as well.
The mod is built around survival and recommends JEI so players can look up crafting recipes. Some structures generate with blocks from Mel's DeCo, which is required for those structures to work. Distortion effects from the Distortioner and Disceptre need Pehkui on version 1.20.1 and on 1.21.1, while Pehkui is otherwise optional. Installation runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files cover 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4 for Forge and NeoForge, and the code is released under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
