Description
Ever looked a your world and wished there was a bit more challenge? Ever wanted to make early game a bit more dangerous? Well if you live by the sword... you might Die by the Sword!
You can contact me with feedback by messaging "dustfired" on Discord! You will have to add me as a friend first! Once accepting please let me know you're from Modrinth or I might think you're a scammer/phisher!
This Datapack is NOT recommended for new players! Especially if your world is set to HARD difficulty!
Already killed the Ender Dragon post version 2.8? Summon another one and kill it for even harder elites to spawn!
"What are the new features added by this datapack/mod?"
- Mobs have a small chance to appear as an "elite" variant boasting high stats, more damage, armor, and even some have special abilities! Currently 36 different elites!
- Find out information on the elite enemies by looking at them through a spyglass! The information is stored in a new advancement tab!
- 12 New Advancements with their own Advancement tree related to elites.
- A new tier of gear above Netherite! Empowered Netherite! Although it's somewhat expensive to empower!
- 2 new enchantments! With more to come in the future!
- 11 "Empowerment" upgrades to others items like Elytras, Maces, Tridents, and more!
- 6 new craftable and consumable items!
- 7 new exclusive "Legendary" rarity items that very rarely drop from elites! Can you get them all? (Note: Legendary Rarity items cannot be upgraded or repaired! Once their durability is used up you'll have to get a new one! Don't worry though they have MASSIVE durability pools!)
A perfect datapack to use in combination with custom structure datapacks like Dungeons and Taverns!
Currently the following hostile mobs are currently NOT supported, all other hostile mobs not listed here are supported:
- Vexes
- Endermites
- Zoglins
- Wardens

Die by the Sword adds new enchantments:
Spoiler
Spearing

This datapack has custom textures in it! Entity Texture Features (ETF) AND Entity Model Features (EMF) are REQUIRED if you want to see the custom textures! Once those two are installed simply place a second copy of the datapack into your resource pack folder as it functions as a resource pack as well!
Feedback is welcome! You can leave feedback by heading the bug tracker link! Or by messaging me on discord!
You are welcome to use this in a modpack/datapack group but do please credit me!
