Clanging Howl

Clanging Howl is a futuristic sci-fi mod with some horror elements. The project aims to expand the cold biomes, adding new items and weapons with their own properties to aid your survival, as well as new terrifying techno-flesh creatures. Extraterrestrial objects from space will grant you access to new technologies, but with these gifts comes a curse: alien creatures will appear in your world, seeking to spread. Develop and utilize the technologies you've discovered, and confront the alien creatures, or become part of them...
The mod is still in fairly early stages of development, so there are a lot of interesting things to come.

The mod requires GeckoLib

Extraterrestrial objects
Your immersion into the mod's content begins with Extraterrestrial Objects (currently in limited numbers). You'll find them periodically throughout the world, but most often in cold biomes. Extraterrestrial objects encountered in cold biomes are often larger and carry more resources. Extraterrestrial objects themselves carry new resources you need to progress further in the mod, but you'll also occasionally encounter new lifeforms with them that aren't particularly friendly.

Items
The mod features various resources and items you need to craft new items and tools. Most items can be crafted, but some resources will need to be found in the world or harvested from mobs. Below are the main functional items. To learn the recipes for specific items, we recommend using JEI

Extraterrestrial Steel

One of the mod's primary resources. You can find it in Extraterrestrial Objects as meteorite ore, and also as ore in the world in cold climates at altitudes of 100-40 (the higher the altitude, the more common). You can also obtain some steel from new mobs.

Extraterrestrial Energy Crystal

The primary source of energy for your advanced tools. They can be found growing on the surface of Extraterrestrial Objects. You can also grow these crystals using a Crystal Former; the colder the biome, the larger the crystal will grow.

Extraterrestrial instruments

Crafted from Extraterrestrial Steel, their stats are somewhere between diamond and iron tools, but they are highly enchantable, similar to gold tools. Attacks with these tools also inflict Cosmic Irradiation on the enemy, reducing the target's maximum health by 15% and attack damage by 10%. These tools also deal increased damage to Techno-Flesh creatures (4 more damage)

Extraterrestrial Hammer

It's a melee weapon that, like the Extraterrestrial Tools, applies Cosmic Irradiation to its attacks and deals increased damage to Techno-Flesh creatures. It also has some tool-like properties. You can right-click on some industrial blocks to damage them (for example, you can turn a Steel Plate Block into a Damaged Steel Plate Block). You will also need a hammer to craft Steel Plates.

Industrial Adjustable Wrench

Allows you to turn some industrial blocks on and off by right-clicking. You can also use it to repair damaged industrial blocks and golems by right-clicking, but this will consume the wrench's durability.

Energy Batteries

They are an essential component for some crafting recipes and also act as energy carriers, which you can then transfer to your industrial tools using a Portable Charger. Batteries come in two types: regular (2000 energy) and Energy-intensive (7000 energy).

Portable Charger

It can store up to six different energy batteries. To open the battery storage, press the right mouse button while holding the Charger. When active, it passively transfers energy from the batteries stored within to all your advanced tools with insufficient energy. Every second, it transfers 20 units of energy to all advanced tools. Discharged batteries are automatically removed from its storage.

Blaze Fuel Cylinder

Provides fuel for the flamethrower when it runs low. Stacks up to 16 at a time.

Blaze Burner

It's functionally identical to flint and steel, but it's significantly more durable. If you hit someone with it, the target will catch fire.

Advanced Tools
Unlike regular tools, advanced tools use energy or fuel and have no durability. All advanced tools are highly effective in their respective areas and also have a number of unique enchantments. You can charge tools using a Portable Charger or a Stationary Charging Station. If your tool runs out of power, you won't be able to use it until you recharge it at least a little.

Advanced Hand Drill

Holding the right mouse button allows you to quickly mine stone and earth blocks. The drill will also deal one damage every half second to all mobs in front of it while active. Each second of use consumes energy. You can charge the tool using a Portable Charger or a Stationary Charging Station. The drill can be enchanted with vanilla Minecraft enchantments such as Fortune, Silk Touch, and Efficiency. However, the drill can also be enchanted with a number of new enchantments specific to Advanced Tools, as well as one unique rare enchantment specific to it.
The drill can be enchanted with the following new enchantments:
-Energy Efficiency. For each level of the enchantment, reduces energy consumption by one. Maximum enchantment level III.
-Ecological Energy. A tool with this enchantment passively charges when the player is exposed to direct sunlight. Also, when the player is struck by lightning, the tool charges 400 energy. 
-Tunnel Driller. Unique to the drill only. Conflicts with Fortune and Silk Touch. While the enchantment is applied to the drill, it will dig in a 3x3 area, but when the player is sneaking, it will only dig one block. Significantly increases energy consumption.

Advanced Chainsaw

Holding the right mouse button allows you to quickly mine wood and plant blocks. The chainsaw will also deal three damage every half second to all mobs in front of it while active. Each second of use consumes energy. You can charge the tool using a Portable Charger or a Stationary Charging Station. The chainsaw can be enchanted with vanilla Minecraft enchantments such as Efficiency, Sharpness, and Looting. However, the chainsaw can also be enchanted with a number of new enchantments specific to Advanced Tools, as well as one unique rare enchantment specific to it.
The chainsaw can be enchanted with the following new enchantments:
-Energy Efficiency. For each level of the enchantment, reduces energy consumption by one. Maximum enchantment level III.
-Ecological Energy. A tool with this enchantment passively charges when the player is exposed to direct sunlight. Also, when the player is struck by lightning, the tool charges 400 energy.
-Overdrive. Unique to chainsaws only. When using a chainsaw with this enchantment, the player enters a state of overdrive, increasing their movement speed by 40% and chainsaw damage by 4. The enchantment increases energy consumption.

Advanced Chainsword

Functions like a regular sword, but deals significantly less damage when fully discharged. A critical hit with the chainsword reduces the opponent's maximum health by 5%, and subsequent critical hits increase the effect, up to a maximum of 25%. Attacks also deal more damage to techno-flesh creatures (7 more damage). Each attack consumes energy. You can charge the chainsword using a Portable Charger or a Stationary Charging Station. The chainsword can be enchanted with vanilla Minecraft enchantments such as Sharpness, Looting, Fire Aspect, Knockback and Sweeping Edge. However, the chainsword can also be enchanted with a number of new enchantments specific to Advanced Tools, as well as one unique rare enchantment specific to it.
The chainsword can be enchanted with the following new enchantments:
-Energy Efficiency. For each level of the enchantment, reduces energy consumption by one. Maximum enchantment level III.
-Ecological Energy. A tool with this enchantment passively charges when the player is exposed to direct sunlight. Also, when the player is struck by lightning, the tool charges 400 energy.
-Killer Charge. Unique to chainsword only. Killing a mob with a Chainsword with this enchantment will cause a small electrical surge where the mob dies, damaging other nearby mobs, temporarily slowing them down, and will also cause all advanced tools in the player's inventory to gain 40 energy charge.

Flamethrower

Holding the right mouse button launches a stream of flame that burns everything in front of it. Enemies hit by the stream of flame take 60% increased fire damage. Every second of use consumes fuel. Fuel is automatically replenished when you use an empty flamethrower with a Blaze Fuel Cylinder in your inventory, this action consumes one Cylinder. The Flamethrower can gain a number of enchantments unique to it.
The Flamethrower can be enchanted with the following enchantments:
-Fuel Saving. Reduces fuel consumption for each level. Maximum enchantment level III.
-Napalm Stream. For each level of enchantment, increases the base damage dealt and the duration of burning of the enemy. Each enchantment level grants +1 to Fire Stream damage and +5 seconds to target burn time. Enchantment increases fuel consumption. Maximum enchantment level III.
-Chain Burn. Conflicts with Fuel Burst. When the stream of fire hits an enemy, it applies the Inner Heat debuff. After the enemy dies, it explodes in a fiery blast that deals 5 fire damage to everyone within a 3-block radius, sets them on fire, and also applies the Inner Heat debuff.
-Fuel Burst. Completely changes the flamethrower's operating principle, from a continuous stream of flame to a single-click burst of flame that powerfully pushes back all mobs and projectiles in front of it, after which it goes into a short reload. Enchantment increases fuel consumption.

Blocks
The mod adds a variety of blocks, both decorative and functional, which will give you access to new building ideas.

Extraterrestrial Stone
Most extraterrestrial objects are made of Extraterrestrial Stone, which is where you can actually mine it. The block has high explosion resistance, and there are many different variations.


Steel Blocks and Calcite Tiles
These are primarily decorative blocks for your futuristic structures. Damaged versions of steel blocks can be obtained by using the Extraterrestrial Hammer.

Stationary Charging Station

By right-clicking on a block with an Advanced Tool in hand, you can place it on the Charging Station. The tool will gradually charge while on the Charging Station (at a rate of 4 units per second). This type of charging is quite slow, but it doesn't require any additional resources. The block can also be used as a display for your Advanced Tools.


Crystal Former
While active, it creates a small cold zone that gradually freezes mobs and players near it, as well as gradually freezing nearby water. When the crystal former is active, Extraterrestrial Energy Crystals gradually begin to grow on it; the colder the biome the block is located in, the larger the crystals can grow. The crystal former can be turned on and off by applying a redstone signal or using an Industrial Adjustable Wrench.


Technoflesh Blocks
They're mostly decorative, except for the Technoflesh Nest. It will spawn a Heart of Decay near it. The block can't be mined without Silk Touch, and breaking it normally will grant XP. Blocks are mined faster with a hoe.

 
Techno-Flesh Creatures
This mod will introduce a new type of creature to your world: techno-flesh creatures. These creatures are extraterrestrial, intelligent parasites that infect living creatures, gradually transforming them into their own kind. This type of creature prefers cold and fears fire. As you survive, techno-flesh creatures will become stronger and more resilient, gradually increasing their stats and damage resistance. To disable their adaptive damage resistance, you'll need to set them on fire. Sometimes these creatures can hide inside the bodies of passive mobs, animals and villagers, interaction with an infected one will cause it to instantly transform, so be careful. After killing an infected, a Heart of Decay will appear from it. To avoid this, you need to set the infected on fire before killing it.

Heart of Decay

The most niche representative of the techno-flesh creatures, yet plays a key role in the initial spawning of other mobs. The Heart of Decay attacks all animals, villagers, and all types of zombies to infest them, after which the infected will eventually transform into one of the techno-flesh creatures. This monster can also perform well in combat due to its ability to crawl along walls like a spider, as well as its ability to periodically spit out a neurotoxic venom that damages the target whenever they move. However, this creature is most afraid of fire and, when caught on fire, will panic and run in circles instead of attacking. Take advantage of this weakness. 

Extraterrestrial Reaper

A creature that combines a decent melee fighter with a more effective spreader of infection. TThe monster can appear on its own at night starting from the 15th night, or it can appear as a result of the transformation of an infected humanoid mob such as Zombies, Villagers, and Illagers. The Reaper will actively infect humanoid mobs, gradually transforming them into its own kind. It's not particularly dangerous to the player, as all it can do is attack with its sickle-like hand. Although vulnerable to fire, it will not stop attacking its target while engulfed in flames.

Flesh Maiden

It represents pure aggression. Unlike its relatives, it is incapable of spreading diseases, but it can pose a serious threat to its opponents. The monster can appear on its own at night starting from the 15th night, or it can appear as a result of the transformation of an infected humanoid mob such as Zombies, Villagers, and Illagers. The Flesh Maiden has two types of attacks: a normal bite and a whip attack with a two-block range. During the ranged attack, she unleashes a whip-like, barbed tongue from her mouth that can damage opponents at a two-block range. This creature's attacks deal significant damage, so plan your battles accordingly.
