Pumpkillager's Quest
by Serilum
Pumpkillager's Quest is a Halloween questline mod in which a pumpkin-harvesting boss character appears through rare encounters and then challenges the player to a final fight.
What it does
Players advance the story by taking a questbook from Pumpkillager, after which multi-block rituals and conversations move the quest along. Encounters have custom behaviours and cosmetic rewards, and the description carries spoilers only below a SPOILERS AHEAD header. The mod was first published on 2022-10-19 as a SpookyJam 2022 submission.
Pumpkillager appears with a 1 in 10 chance when a player breaks a pumpkin block, and the pumpkin block needs empty space on its north, east, south and west sides. The spawn chance and the creative-mode behaviour are configurable, and the final boss has a configurable health pool and experience reward. Collective is required, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest file targeting 26.3.
Key features
Multi-stage questline
A questline with several encounters leads to a final boss fight that rewards the player with a story payoff.
Custom encounter rewards
Each encounter has custom behaviour, and the rewards given stay usable after the quest ends.
Configurable spawn chance
The chance that Pumpkillager spawns when a pumpkin is broken can be set, and creative-mode spawning is off by default.
Boss fight tuning
The final boss health and the experience it grants both have configurable values, so server owners can adjust the difficulty.
