Roost 2: Flying Higher

Roost 2 continues the original Roost mod. Its author presents it as an overhaul that fixes major bugs, optimizes the code and reworks many parts while leaving the familiar feel intact. Some features are replaced by newer ones, and this version is the primary line going forward. The roost is the main feature: a fast mount for traveling across the world, with new wings for gliding, and the ability to jump, take flight and explore. A roost is trusting and docile by nature, so it has natural predators, and a player can approach one and let it be ridden once a saddle is equipped.

Upgrades come from shards. A roost holds a shard imbued with power that adjusts its stats, and each shard boosts one of the roost's core abilities such as running, jumping and gliding. The Trinity shard is the top end game item and imbues a roost with the strength of three lesser shards. Roost riders are an elite force of pillagers trained to ride the roost with a deadly plated scythe. They deal heavy damage, often at the front lines of most raids, and their outposts in the savanna are where they train and patrol the world. The mod can be run with only one ride at a time, and every bird is a single mount.
