This mod adds scorpions to the game!
Brown and Emperor Scorpion spawns in the desert, while the Nether Scorpion Spawns in the Soul Sand Valley.
They will burrow themself in to the ground on daylight.
They drop Scorpion stingers that can be brewed into Venom Coat Potion.
After consuming this potion you will get a venom "armor" that will poison attackers!
If you have a spider eye in your hand then they won't attack you and are tempted by it.
So like that you can make them follow you.
Other mod biome compatibility!
Spawn config options:
- Biome name(s) where it should spawn
- Spawn rate (The higher, the more chance for spawning a group)
- Minimum and maximum number of a Group
- Poison Duration (20 means -> 20 seconds)
- Health Point
- Damage Value
If you want the scorpions to spawn in another mods biome.
You have to change the biome_name line:
For example to:
biome_name = "modid:name_of_the_biome"
To let it spawn in more biomes you have to put a comma (,) between the biome names like this:
biome_name = "modid:name_of_the_biome,minecraft:desert"
The 1.19 version doesn't have a spawn config.
The biome world generation changed a bit and now the spawn settings will be editable in json files.
To select the desired biomes for the mob you have to edit the biome tags.
(/data/scorpions/tags/worldgen/biome/...)
To edit the spawn settings you have to edit the biome_modifier
(/data/scorpions/forge/biome_modifier/...)
