Master of Necromancy
by Red_hoop
Master of Necromancy lets players raise undead servants with Essential Saltes, mark distant creatures for them to attack, and trade with a visiting Evoker.
What it does
Zombie servants are summoned with Essential Saltes and wander near the player. Right-clicking a distant creature with salts marks it, and striking it with a blade or a ranged weapon also marks it. Servants armed with swords and axes go after the marked target, and sneaking while right-clicking cancels the order so servants return. Sneak-right-clicking a servant reclaims its salts. Salts are collected from Zombies, Zombie Villagers, Zombie Horses and Phantoms.
The mod adds an enchanted book that curses undead creatures to burn, and a dreadful alchemy book that a zombie must hold while it is used. Casting takes at least three seconds, and the alchemy book is consumed after a single use. After killing Evokers, a visitor arrives about 60 minutes later, offers a trade and can reveal his collection. A quill can be used to copy the enchanted book, and copying consumes books and pens. Players who do not want to wait can run a command to summon the trader directly.
Master of Necromancy is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only. It is licensed as All rights reserved and is not open source. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, and it has no required dependencies.
