Description of feature request

I have an idea for the withered support beacons. You would put three wither skulls on that and a new type of Wither Storm segment spawns. This Wither Storm segment is like the original but it can follow you on its own. Its model will also be mirrored to look like the right segment because when you spawn the original segment by its self it always looks like the left one. It will also have the stuff flying around it like the original Wither Storm (phase 4-7.5). Its purpose is to aid the Wither Storm even before phase 6. It will be called a Support Wither Storm. They can be spawned after defeating and respawning the Wither Storm and will provide a much greater challenge. When summoned they will be many blocks away in the four directions: North, South, West, East. They’ll also act chunk loaders and still come for you. Be careful where you travel.

They won’t act exactly like the original segments, they stand alone.

They’ll spawn far away, too.

So just make wither storm segments follow the player and can be summoned.

Datapacks

rename this to "Option to summon Wither Storm Segments from Super Beacons"

Do you make one yourself or do you get one? I didn’t see any available on CurseForge.

You make them

The option is in recipes (inside the data folder of the mod). Look for mob names in there. You can copy the Wither Storm's file, and change the entity, add entities, and change items needed.

And make duplicates and different versions of entities?

I don’t see it. I tried searching for it in File Explorer.

rename the mod file extension from .jar to .zip. windows will give you a warning but ignore it. then open the zip (you may have to extract it) and find the data file inside.

Nonamecrackers2 said you can’t add new mobs with datapacks.

You technically can't.

So you can add entities, just not mobs?

What

So you want more Wither Storm Segments to be summoned from the support beacons?

So you want more Wither Storm Segments to be summoned from the support beacons?

Yes. And they’ll be separate mobs from the original segment and they’ll look like the right one.

They’ll have the internal name: support_wither_storm

Yes. And they’ll be separate mobs from the original segment and they’ll look like the right one.

Why do they need to be separate entities?

Yes. And they’ll be separate mobs from the original segment and they’ll look like the right one.

Why do they need to be separate entities?

Because they would be independent of the main Wither Storm unlike the original segments. If you summoned the original segment, it would be stationary.

The support Wither Storm will move on their own unlike the original Wither Storm segment.

We can also have an amulet that tracks them and the main Wither Storm. And the phasometer can check the type of Wither Storm if it’s the main or one of the support ones.

Hello? @WitherBean I just gave you the reason.

The support Wither Storm will move on their own unlike the original Wither Storm segment.

This could all still be the same entity, just will different nbt.

Because they would be independent of the main Wither Storm unlike the original segments. If you summoned the original segment, it would be stationary.

The segments could still move freely in the future.

What do you mean? You mean as a future feature?

What would the NBT be?

Interesting idea, but this is out of scope for the mod.
