Description

This mod adds the Masquerader, a powerful illager boss who wears different masks, each giving him their own distinct attacks.

The Invitation:

NOTE: When opening the envelope, your game may lag for a couple seconds. This is because creating the map can take a bit to locate the structure.

The Ball:

The Masquerader:

No Mask:

The Masquerader does just about nothing in this phase except for run at you with a sword. As soon as he drops below full health, however, things get interesting...

Mask of Evocation:

  • Vexes: The Masquerader summons 15 vexes, each with 2 health. They die automatically when he puts on a new mask
  • Fangs: The Masquerader can summon fangs in four different patterns: concentric circles centered on him, concentric circles centered on his target, lines, and directly and rapidly on top of his target

Mask of Displacement:

  • Clones: The Masquerader creates 9 clones of himself all around you and they start shooting you with their bows. Find the real one, or wait a little while for them to disappear
  • Mirror Image: Once his clones are gone, he can create four mirror images of himself that can't be hit, just like the Illusioner
  • Blindness: Once his clones are gone, he can give temporary blindness to his target
  • Fireworks: Once his clones are gone, he shoots fireworks instead of arrows in a triple shot pattern

Mask of Fury:

  • Roar and Charge: The Masquerader roars and then charges forward in a straight line, knocking back and setting aflame mobs he hits
  • Crossbow bursts: The Masquerader loads his crossbow and fires five bursts of five flaming arrows in rapid succession
  • Axe: When not using another attack, he runs at his target with an axe

Mask of Arcanity:

  • Potion Rain: The Masquerader rapidly brews many potions and throws them in the air, causing them to rain down all around him
  • Throw Potions: The Masquerader throws potions at his target, which can be a variety of enfeebling effects and sometimes even be lingering
  • Drinking: As soon as he puts on the mask, The Masquerader will drink a potion that grants him regeneration 2 and resistance 3. After a while, He'll drink a potion of healing. Any time while wearing the mask, he can also drink different potions under certain circumstances.

Loot:

Mask of Evocation: When worn, with an empty hand, right-click the ground to evoke a line of fangs. 2 second cooldown

Mask of Displacement: When worn, with an empty hand, right-click the air to teleport a fair distance horizontally in the direction you're facing. does not go through blocks. 10 second cooldown

Mask of Fury: When worn, with an empty hand, right-click the air to roar, rocketing nearby mobs away from you and granting you strength 2 and resistance 2 for a short time after. 15 second cooldown

Mask of Arcanity: When worn, with an empty hand, right click the air to gain a beneficial potion effect; Fire resistance if you're on fire, water breathing if underwater, regeneration if low on health, and swiftness if none of the others. 30 second cooldown

FAQ:

Can I use this in my video/modpack?

Sure! Just make sure to credit me and/or leave a link back to the original page here on Modrinth.

Can you make a port to version/mod loader? There are currently no plans for other version ports. As for mod loaders, no. I have never learned any other mod loader, nor do I plan to.

Do you have any more content planned? If so, what is it and when will it come out?

Next update the Masquerader will have a bossbar, but other than that no features are planned.

The Masquerader is heavily inspired by the bosses of Illage and Spillage, my personal all-time favorite mod

Thanks to Yellowbross Productions (creator of Illage and Spillage) for lending me the code for the forcefield system

Some code was borrowed and adapted from a couple of other mods such as Illage and Spillage, Enchant with Mob, Dungeons Mobs, L_Ender's Cataclysm, and Savage and Ravage

All unique sound effects from Minecraft Dungeons
