Faded Conquest II

This is a very, very special mod. Not only in design, but to me as the creator.

        In mid 2020, I along with another, had a dream. A dream to make a Minecraft mod. It started small and honestly sub-par, as most MCreator mods start. It added several things: A boss called BoxBot, the Faded King; and non-functional Nether Reactor Cores. It was very simple. The mod quickly grew from this humble start to something extremely extensive, having a little bit of everything. New plants, dimensions, high-tech sci-fi features. It had it all (note this inconsistency of features becomes important.) It was like a modpack within a mod. The most important of these was an expansion on the Faded King, incorporating three other bosses, together all four were based on The Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse. Unfortunately, these designs were very flawed, and were based on my friend's minecraft avatars. Although this did not hold up, following its port from 1.12.2 to new versions, it had had its third major makeover. The Horsemen concept was scrapped altogether, and BoxBot was replaced with Dyrolian, and so forth. New Lore was originally created for the mod, but that was its downfall.

        Faded Conquest strived too much for two people to make and may I say: was bound by the boundless game. This new extremely complex, story based concept along with the constant addition of unrelated features caused updates to be extremely unorganized. Instead of adding the main features, we added on to the cooking mechanics and plants; and this killed it. Faded Conquest had officially died. Deeply distressed from the loss of my “golden child” of projects, I quit Minecraft altogether for a few years, and did not dare touch modding for a few more.

        Until very recently, a new Minecraft server was created. A modded Minecraft server of which I was given the opportunity to make a mod for. So I utilized my main interest in wildlife to create Critters n’ Crawlers. I relearned my modeling and texturing skills all within a month, and completely learned animations from scratch all within a month. And as a tribute for the old mod, I wanted to make a remodel of the Faded King. Surely I wouldn’t use it, right? foolishly, I decided to use this in a new mod.

        This mod was not uploaded specifically as content, but as a sort of closure for me, as the human behind this mod, not the online developer who's writing this. I've finally accepted that things can and will change, whether for good or not, and it's okay to fail or let things change, because many new opportunities can come after, you know? But after all, this is a RPG mod made in a month for a competition for a blocky children's video game made by some crusty old guy that was bought off by Microsoft, not some revolutionary creation. Soon, I will move on with life, and probably completely forget about this whole thing. At least I will finally have no need to feel like that time was used for nothing.

        My final point and conclusion is to chase your dreams, but sometimes dreams are simply that. It's ok to say goodbye to past dreams that you no longer crave, it's ok to fail at things, and sometimes it's a sign that something better is waiting. Whether this be with a project like this, personal goals, hell! Even finding a romantic partner or finding a career, this still applies to you.

        Now that soap-opera is over with, you may begin your conquest!

Dyrolian, The Faded King Lore - The wicked and demented warlord and harbinger of war. He spoke to what lied beyond the stars, and he and his people payed for his greed. His final deed was guarding the key of war and gifting the other keys to his greatest subjects, while lying of their true use. Boss Info - This boss has two phases and multiple attack types: including dash attacks, leaping attacks, and summoning minions to aid it.
