📋 About This Mod

**Requires (https://modrinth.com/mod/guns-without-roses) and changes its recipes for diamond guns.** Adds a variety of **biome-specific mobs**, some of them wearing **guns** that you can **craft for yourself**! **15+ mobs, 16+ guns, 6+ bullets, 4 armor sets**, and **50+ decorative blocks** to make use of any mob drop you don't need. **Gunsteel** is dropped from **all gun-wielding mobs**, and is used to **craft nearly anything in the mod**, including bullets, or it can be made into decorative bricks. Other new materials are obtained from the corresponding new mobs, which are as follow: * In **Forests**, you can find **Gunomes** alongside **Shrubhulks** and **Shrubsnappers**. They are a source of **Caliberries**, both edible fruit and bullet with high knockback, and **Living Herb**, used to make an early **gatling** and guns that save on ammo. You can also make patterned lattices with it. * In **Deserts and Savannahs**, you can find **Cowbones**. They are a source of **Cowbones Horns**, used to make an early **shotgun** and fast firing guns, or an armor that boosts gun damage. They can also make a black decorative stone called Bovony. * In **Tundras and Taigas**, you can find **Zombie Seals**. They are a source of **Milspec Ice**, used to make an early **sniper** and slow but precise guns, or you can grill it to eat it. It can also make for some icy bricks. * In **Oceans**, you can find **Sunken Pirates**. They are a source of **Sunken Doubloons**, used to make guns that are very slow but deal **a lot of damage**. They can also make shiny golden bricks. * In **Mountains and Hills**, you can find **Patrollers**. They are a source of **Densgsten Cubes**, which can make for **powerful but heavy bullets**. They can also make deep purple metallic blocks. * In **Plains**, you can find the agile and deadly **Zombunnies**. They drop **Markspebbles**, which can make **Marksblades**, **melee weapons used alongside guns**, or a stratified rock. * In **Jungles** and **Lush Caves**, you can find **Abeillons**. They drop **Abeillonswax**, that can make **Burst Rifles**, an armor that boosts firing speed, or yellow decorative blocks. Gunomes will also be there. * **At the Deepslate layer**, you can find various kind of **Sentries**, deadly robots with high armor. They give **Damaged Devices**, which can make some unique weapons but mostly are **required to craft any diamond gun**. * In **Crimson Forests** (in the Nether), you can find large **Crimson Gunnubi**. They drop **Heptacles**, which can make a **powerful gun that hurts you**, an armor that boosts gun damage even more, or fire-colored bricks. * In **Soul Sand Valleys** (in the Nether), you can find **Ensouled Skulls**. They drop **Octacles** which can make glass, or **short range piercing bullets** that the **Pale Gunnubi** will be happy to demonstrate at you. * In the **Outer End**, you can find **Skybenders**, floating robots armed with a shield and a **gravitic blade that levitate you**. They are a source of **Graviolium Cells**, letting you make that weapon (or similiar bullets) for yourself, or blocks that propel whatever lands on them. **Biome mod compatibility:** most mobs use forge/vanilla biome tags for their spawn, so modded biomes that fill them correctly should host the appropriate mobs, **except**: * Crimson Gunnubi only explicitly spawn in Crimson Forests. * Soul Sand Valley mobs only explicitly spawn there. * Skybenders only explitictly spawn in End Highlands and Midlands. You can change which biomes host which mobs (such as having Skybenders spawn in modded End biomes) by changing the corresponding biome tags. Icon commisionned from (https://zaya.gallery/).
