What it does

The mod's stated aim is to bring Silksong content into Minecraft, and the author plans to add most of the game's related blocks, items and enemies over time. The current release is early and covers only a few items: the Needle, which serves as the main weapon and can bind heal and use abilities such as the silk spear, and the Hunter's Cloak and Drifter's Cloak. Both cloaks let the wearer dash, and the Drifter's Cloak also allows gliding in mid-air and pressing to glide, until the Swift Step ability replaces the dash in a later update.

Two bosses, the Moss Mother and the Skull Tyrant, are included. They are fought normally, spawning from an egg and placed inside an arena. More bosses are planned, usually around two per update, and the author notes that existing features are still being improved. The mod is compatible with multiplayer. The author says the next version will take longer because the Pharloom dimension is being added first. Files are published for NeoForge on 1.21.8 only, and the mod runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

What the author says

The world of Pharloom awaits in this mod! The plan for the mod is to add a majority of Silksong-related blocks, items, enemies, etc. At the moment the mod is not survival friendly so everything is accessible only in creative, but a dimension and survival friendly features are likely planned for the future.
