Notable Features of the Ruinous Mod
New Mobs
- Villager Priest: Appears in priest temples and doesn’t attack. You can offer him gold, diamonds, or emeralds, each with its own donation value—Gold = 1, Diamond = 2, Emerald = 3. After donating, shift-right-click to receive various items depending on your total donations.
- Cultist: Found in cultist camps, this naturally hostile mob poses a challenge to players.
- Mortem: A formidable boss summoned through a specific ritual. In the first phase, it performs a normal attack and a ground slam, shifting to a second phase at half health that adds a spin attack to its arsenal. Mortem drops the powerful Axe of Mortem and inflicts the Death’s Curse effect nearby.
- Crocodile: A passive mob found in swamps and mangrove areas, which can become aggressive if provoked. It has a long-range attack.
- Mecha Croc: Another boss; players can spawn it with a spawn egg, featuring a normal attack and a devastating fire breath attack.
- Gladiator Piglin: A miniboss that spawns in crumbling wastelands and uses a combination of attacks, including a normal attack, ground slam, and fireball.
