Greetings! Me and my friend Echo have been working on this mod for a long time! Its meant to add alternative progression to minecraft with difficult boss-like creatures and mobs. Currently the mod is small but we will expand it with more and more updates!
Lets go through some of the current creatures:
First we must venture into the nether where we will find the Boneguard! This boney beast walks around soul sand valleys, they don't have much use right now, but they will be important later!
Right now they just add ambiance to soul sand valleys
After that we have our first boss! The Arctic Arachnid, a strong spider like beast that is quite hard to beat, but the loot is worth it! It has unique attacks, consisting of an AOE attack that damages you and summoning minions that shoot at you! Defeating this mighty beast will grant you unique and rare materials which will allow you to craft some very strong gear with unique effects.
Remember! Only fight this monster when you are ready, and then venture into a snowy biome to summon it.
Now this big spider isn't on it's own! Introducing the Yeti spider, these plump spiders spawn in snow biomes and throw ice at you! They are quite hard to deal with, but their meat is very filling! They also drop the summoning item to spawn The Arctic Arachnid.
Look at how cute they are!
Illagers are a very interesting set of mobs, they have so many types, how about a summoner? Introducing the Beetle Tamer this Illager variant is pretty strong, he summons death beetles to attack you and can put up quite a fight, is his loot worth it? Yes it is! His staff breaks while you are fighting him but you can use the broken staff to upgrade iron to a new level! Its completely optional of course, but the whole tool set has unique effects!
Don't talk to me or my son ever again.
Last but certainly not least we have the little critters that roam around the overworld, these are Beetles, Snails and Butterflies. These little guys will spawn all over the place, they are meant to liven up the world and not be to difficult to deal with, aren't they just the cutest?

The mod is still in early development and there is a lot to be done! And it might take some time to be perfect, but we are working on it!
