BETA
I finally feel comfortable releasing this mod into beta state. There will be many bugs, just bear with me as I sort them out.
This mod adds a total of 2 mobs to the game, 7 if Mekanism is installed, 4 if Create is installed, and 8 if Mekanism & Create are installed. The ideal of this mod is to add a bunch of tamable creatures to the game that have a very useful function to the player. I drew inspiration for this mod from Ark: Survival Evolved. A game that focuses on the capabilities of dinosaurs that can be tamed.
Mobs Currently added:
8x Rockies: A sentient stone that will excrete nibblets of their respected variant. These nibblets can be refined in a blast furnace and crafted into the respected ore. They can be tamed with rockies(not to be confused with the mob), a sort of 'Rock Candy' that Rockies just love! [2 Rockies are added from Vanilla. With Mekanism installed, 5 more rockies will spawn in your world. Create adds Copper if Mekanism is not installed, and adds Zinc.]
Iron and Gold Rocks
Mekanism
Uranium, Lead, Copper, Osmium, Tin Rocks
Create
Copper & Zinc Rocks
Rockie Breeding:
To breed a rockie, you must put two of them within proximity of each other. Afterwards, you simply have to wait until they lay an egg. Craft a Deep Pod Chamber in the meantime, and after the egg is laid place it in the chamber with fuel (coal block or blaze rod) and some nibblets for infusion. Within a few minutes, the chamber should hatch the egg on top of it. WARNING: Rockies do not like each other, and when in proximity to another, it will not produce any nibblets.
Dev Note:
I have future plans for 'gemstones'. Such as: coal, redstone, lapis, diamonds, emeralds, as well as fluorite. This is why they are not included in the current state of the mod.
Future Plans:
Rockies Overhaul
- Possible overhaul of how the production works.
- More Mod Support (Let me know which mods you'd like to see supported.)
Creatures:
- Crystal creature. These will be flying creatures that produce gemstones.
- Very Fast Mount. These will be an alternate to the horse, but will be much faster.
- Micro fighting friends. These creatures will be an alternate to the wolf. They will fight much like the wolf, but will have a few variants that have different abilities.
- Birb. This bird will be an amazing addition! Slightly annoying, but very useful.
