Sunken

by Mogswamp Team

Sunken turns nautilus mobs in the water into Withered variants, and drowned who ride them become a new kind of threat when lightning strikes.

What it does

Sunken changes how a storm affects nautilus encounters. A drowned that is struck by lightning while riding a nautilus is transformed into a Sunken zombie, and the nautilus it rides becomes a Withered nautilus. A Withered nautilus can be ridden, and its charge attack applies the wither effect to players and other mobs. Lightning rods pulled out of the sea during a storm are a way to bring these mobs about. The mod is server required with the client optional, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt on 26.1.1, with files for 1.21.11 and 26.1 as well.

Sunken is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Its optional dependencies are [EMF] Entity Model Features and [ETF] Entity Texture Features, which only matter for the look of the new mobs.

Key features

  1. Withered nautilus

    Nautilus mobs transform into Withered nautilus variants, which players can ride and steer through water.

  2. Charge attack

    A Withered nautilus charges at players and other mobs, applying the wither effect on contact.

  3. Storm-driven spawns

    Lightning strikes during a storm can turn drowned riders into Sunken zombies, so swimming near lightning rods brings these mobs.

Questions

Does Sunken need a client install?

No. The environment is server required with the client optional, so players can join without it, though the optional entity mods only change how the new mobs look.

What the author says

When a nautilus jockey is struck by lightning, the drowned is transformed into The Sunken and the zombie nautilus is transfromed into The Withered nautilus. When riding The Withered nautilus, using the charge attack on players or other mobs applies the wither effect.
