Minecraft’s desert biomes are very bland and do not have much detail to them. Desert Scourge Mod is here to make travelling through the deserts in Minecraft a lot more intense. The mod adds a new boss mob to desert biomes – The Desert Scourge. This new boss is a gigantic snake-like creature which swims through sand as if it were water. It can be summoned by using the Suspicious Horn in the desert. It has 250 heal points and attacks the player directly from underground, and indirectly, summoning its mini-worm minions, which jump out from underground and attack random players. Sand tornadoes also occur in deserts. The mod also adds a collection of new useful items.
Features:
- A new boss mob – The Desert Scourge
- Unique attack styles, both direct and indirect.
- Sand tornadoes that can fling a player into the air.
- More useful items to survive the desert.
- A crafting recipe for bundles.
