This mod adds a new threat to the old growth taiga.
Now you will find a new rare structure where you can find the moth man's head break the head or activate it using redstone and you will summone the moth man.
In the structure, you will also find the Ash Block, which has the special ability to destroy itself when any entity walks on top of it.
The Moth Man is a flying entity that is aggressive toward the player. It will dash at you and inflict blindness, making it hard to dodge. It has only 150 HP, so it’s not too difficult to defeat (I recommend using diamond gear).
If you manage to defeat it, it will drop a Moth Spear, an item that allows you to dash while riding (similar to the vanilla spear), and a Moth Egg, from which you can hatch your own Moth. Simply place it down, and a Moth will if you place it on a magma block. Once the moth has hatched, you can ride it.
