!IMPORTANT MESSAGE!
=====================================================================
I’ve been thinking about doing a complete re-write of this mod, it would still have pretty much the same base concept (mostly story/lore wise), but there would be quite a few changes! :P
And I’m not sure how everyone would react to that sorta thing, as it would break A LOT of what’s already been implemented (probably like 90% of it), IDK thought! ';. /
Please let me know your thoughts on this in the comments, I'd really appreciate it!! :D
=====================================================================
Development of this mod has been put on hold until further notice due to a lack of spare time/energy to further it’s development.
My apologies for the inconvenience!
This mod adds a few new features including a small hidden story line, yes that means LLOORRE as MatPat would say!
Other then that there's a new block set "shadow blocks" and a few new items, and even a simple magic system.
There's also a config-file for some of the features of the mod, so please check it out if something isn't quite to your liking!
That being said this mod is still in development!
As my intention was (and sill is if I can) submit this to the 2023 SpookyJam, in other words some features ended up being a bit rushed and or cut to save time, and so this version should only be considered a teaser/beta version of sorts.
But even still I hope everyone who plays this enjoys!
