📋 About This Mod
I present you the first mount mod with fully operational mounts. There are 150 mounts altogether, 70 ground, 20 flying, 20 swimming mounts and 40 transformations you can create, arranged by tiers. With new update you can upgrade all those 40 transforms from tier 1 to 11, so in a sense you can create 440 transforms. Every mount is individual, with his own unique set of animations, sounds, skills and techs and now mounts even have mining skill and they glow.
Mounts: Heres a list of how skills and tech are distributed among mounts:
