📋 About This Mod
This mod has no effect on gameplay on its own. It's intended as a tool/framework for mod makers to create mods with varied functionality.
Mistycore is a core mod I made with many small functions that I don't think deserve their own mod. It's used by my redux mods for a more immersive experience. (While I'm not sure "-core" is the right term, it's the closest I can think of.)
This mod has some of the following functionalities:
-
[]Custom hoe dirt textures
[
]Custom location backgrounds, just like IslandNorth's sky.[]Adding critters to locations depending on chance and/or conditions.
[]Requirements to fish in a location, and alternative fishes to give if those requirements aren't met.
[]"Object hunt" command, which lets you make searches similar to the egg hunt.
[]Custom tile actions, like:
-
[]Conditional warping.
[
]Questions with consequences (via trigger actions).[]Changing the game map after giving an object to the player, just like the golden scythe.
-
[]Custom game state queries.
[]Custom trigger actions.
[]Custom event commands.
- Playing an event after you make a tree fall down.
