NEXT UPDATE: Amon ra spawns in The Nether and is a boss
SHORT MOD EXPLANATION
Basically this is an Adventure / Rpg mod based on populating the world with many of new mobs, entities, creatures, animals and all come along their own items, biomes and so on. The structure reproduces the one of a classic Rpg game based on the scheme mob / drop where all items here are customized: advanced mobs models, high level textures, custom items, weapons / equipments with custom effects, personailzed biomes, new dimensions and so on.
All models,which took me quite a lot of work and got many appreciations in the past for their uniqueness and high quality, are taken from my previous mod and here improved.
The main feature here is a fully configurable system directly ingame. Inner menus allow you to change all aspects of the game:drop rate, spawn rate, mob aspect, mob boost and so on.
XII - The Hanged Man is valorized if played in Survival mode: there you can really prove yourself and try to survive in a very hostile world by using your strategy and some luck
