Warden & Sculk
by vicalisito
Warden & Sculk adds a hostile Warden mob to the Deep Dark biome, along with sculk blocks that can summon it.
What it does
The Warden is a large hostile mob with 500 points of health, which is 250 hearts. It has two forms: a ranged Sonic Boom attack and a melee attack. Its health, attack range and speed can be changed in the sculk-common.toml config file. Difficulty changes its health, with 18 points (9 hearts) on Normal and 30 points (15 hearts) on Hard, and the mod also lowers the Warden's health by 100 points because it breaks some blocks.
The sculk blocks cover the summoning side. A sculk sensor detects vibrations caused by players and summons Wardens near it. A Sculk Shrieker summons Wardens once it is active. A block gives the darkness effect in two states, and a sculk catalyst placed during survival world generation cannot summon Wardens. A compass made from 8 echo shards and one compass is crafted into an item that shows the direction of the last death position.
The mod runs on the Forge loader for 1.18.2 only. It requires GeckoLib and TerraBlender, and it uses the GeckoLib API 2.6.0 with TerraBlender in the 1.0.0.59 – 3.0.0 range. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.
