Description

Second Chance Feautres

minecraft has tens of mobs and hundreds of features, and there are many that are not only barely used, but only act as nuisances. this mod's purpose is to lightly overhaul them and their usefullness mainly by adding more utility

currently the mod adds a little content and utility to:

-Glow Squid/Squid

-Bat

-Phantom

-Polar Bear

-minor sniffer/goat additions

-squid life cycle: starts as baby (baby version) > develops into adult (regular version) > develops into elders (regular squids are 1.3x their adult size, and glow squids are 1.5x their adult size). when a squid develops into a new stage it has a chance to drop an inc/glow inc sac.

-breedable squids: you can now breed two squids with raw salmon/cod

-inc dispenser: dispensers with inc inside will shoot the inc sac, which would inflict blindness on any mob within a radius of 3 blocks

-inc cloud: when hitting a squid underwater, you get blindness, and glow/night vision when hitting a glow squid

-new enchantment: glow sense enchantable on helmet. when holding inc in the off hand and pressing R, blocks within a 32 blocks radius will glow

-Phantom membrane trimmable: phantom trimmed armor pieces will reduce mob detection range by up to 40%

-Scarecrow: when placed, it'll attract nearby phantoms and emit a subtle glow when nearby. phantoms will attack it until it's destroyed

-blindness arrows: craftable with 8 phantom membranes and an arrow

-fear of light/fleeing: phantoms will flee and get a chance to drop a membrane when confronted by light during nights

-guano: occasioanlly dropped from a bat; craftable into bonemeal and haunted soil

-pellet: has a small chance of dropping on death; can be eaten or brewed into potion of Perception (gives mobs within 32 blocks the glow effect)

-bat wing: has a small chance of dropping on death; can be brewed into potion of Echo (gives mobs within 64 blocks the glow effect + blindness)

-haunted soil: crafted from guano + phantom membrane; can fully grow crops at night and also nether warts

-breeding: you can now breed two adult bears. they will not attack the player for several minutes unless hit

-tamable: you can tame baby polar bears, which will grow into adult bears in about an in-game day. a tamed bear will attack mobs that attack or are attacked by the player. when grown into an adult, the player will be able to ride it (it's much faster in water)

-dash attack: when riding a bear and holding > releasing space the bear will dash forward, dealing knockback and damage to mobs in front of and around it

-Sniffers can now dig up all of the vanilla seeds, ores, and everything in the archeology loot table

-the Pitcher Pod (one of the anicent vanilla plants) is now edible and will give haste/saturation

-Goats give "goat milk" when milked - which gives a short regeneration
