This mod does not require any separate dependencies, it is optional to use Jei (to view crafts)
New update!!! 1.3.0 🛸
—Now the Hopkinblitz: when you receive the hypnosis effect and the overlay appears on your screen, it won’t last forever — it only lasts a few seconds.
—Added the Pombero mob; it spawns in jungles and sparse jungles. It can randomly climb walls and attacks you; when you get close, it starts whistling.
—Added a new structure, the Monolith Temple, which rarely generates in deserts. It contains a lot of loot, and it’s recommended to bring a brush for archaeology since you can find treasures in the suspicious sand inside the structure.
—Added the Monolithic UFO Attractor, which is used to lure UFOs. It creates four colored lightning bolts and can only be used during thunderstorms. To get a UFO, you must craft an Atmospheric Monolith Signal Decoder, then search for the signal that indicates a UFO is present; once it appears, hold the attractor in your hand and wait to be abducted to receive random rewards.
—Added an alien cow (a UFO reward) and a bucket of space milk.
—Added a Monolith Text Decoder, used to read Runic Text Fragments.
—Bug fixes.
—And various minor issues resolved.
The mod will soon be available on Fabric!
Phenominae introduces the possibility of unexpected encounters in the world, adding strange entities, rare structures, and events that may occur when you least expect them.
One of the new additions is a structure called monolith_ruins, which generates naturally in the jungle, plains, and sunflower_plains biomes. Inside these ruins, you'll find a series of mysterious monoliths. If one is broken, a purple lightning bolt strikes the area, and there is a chance for two unique creatures to spawn: Monolythian and Monolithrise. These hostile entities may drop a new item called monofragment when defeated.
Additionally, within the same structure, you may find a Domonolyth Head, an ancient relic that, when combined with monofragments and some regular stone, can be used to craft the MonoCore. This new block has the ability to summon a tameable entity that becomes your personal guardian. This creature has 40 health, attacks quickly, and behaves autonomously: when it detects a nearby monster, it will eliminate it immediately, similar to an iron golem. You can tell it to stop following you by simply right-clicking.
A new alien-like creature called Hopkinblitz has also been added. This strange being with unusual ears appears at night in the forest, beach, birch forest, crimson forest, dark forest, and flower forest biomes. It has the ability to make you levitate briefly and apply a visual effect on your screen, resembling a kind of hypnosis, causing discomfort or disorientation to the player.
In future updates, more phenomena will be added, such as ball lightning, red sprites, lunar and solar halos, floating light orbs, whispering voices in mineshafts, and many other strange anomalies.
