Withered Lands

This mod is a spiritual successor to Gravestone Mod – Extended.
It brings back all of the original creatures and expands upon them with new, unique mobs designed to enrich and challenge the gameplay experience.

The main goal of the mod is to make exploration more engaging and dangerous, especially during the early stages of the game. New enemies, behaviors, and encounters turn the world into a more hostile and unpredictable place, encouraging players to adapt, prepare, and survive rather than rush through progression.

Events:

Slime Rain – This event is triggered for the first time on the morning of the seventh day (if the weather is clear; otherwise, it will occur on the next clear day). After that, at least 7 days must pass before it can happen again. The base chance is 4% + 8% for each additional day after the seventh day, up to a maximum total chance of 90%.

When the event starts, you will receive the message: "Slimes start falling from the sky!" and see an event progress bar. The weather changes to rain, and various slimes from this mod (all except Molten Slime and Toxic Sludge) begin falling from the sky.

The event has 3 phases:

• During the first phase, only tiny slimes fall.
• During the second phase, medium slimes begin to fall.
• During the final phase, large slimes start falling.

The event ends after 10 minutes.

 

Compatibility:

• Infernal mobs - Some of mobs, added by my mod, should never be infernal(you can change it in cinfigs)
• Gravestone mod - Extended - Phantom diver has a rare chance to drop its costume. Potion of "Bone Skin" gives you protection of "Rust" debuff

Recommended mods to use with:

• Infernal mobs - makes some enemies much more harder.
• Forged in Blocks - additional challenge in game progression at the early/mid game.
• Sophisticated wolves - wolves can be trained to guard you base against slimes and other mobs

!!!Warning!!!

Additionally this mob restricts sleep by certain conditions. You can't sleep while hunger or under opened sky(it can be disabled in configs)

Vanilla hostile mobs cap increased to x2. In case of any performance problems(or any other reasons), it can be changed in configs to default vanilla value, or even increased.

Torches can't protect you against monsters in the caves anymore - Hollow Stalker extinguis them(only normal, copper and soul torches), so you should use another, more expensive sources of light to keep caves lighted.
