Attention! PMSD Foundation finds SWG-001 'Invasion of The Shadows' particularly dangerous to interact with. It's advised that you're prepared for long fighting and for fierce onslaughts. Are you sure you want to proceed?
Invasion of The Shadows is a part-horror PvE mod that adds a new hostile faction - Darkborn Confederation, with lots of entities attacking your world. It all starts with Shadow Universe trying to infect your world and turn it into their own secondary home. Will you be able to stop them? Even if you do, there is a road to much higher power than you possibly could ever dream of. Beings from highest planes will take interest of you once you break the cosmic blockage of your world, so the end is far from near...
DISCLAIMER: The mod has never been tested in multiplayer. For better stability, use Java 21 and 47.4.10+ Forge version for Minecraft 1.20.1, otherwise there may be some crashes.
Disclaimer 2: Since current mechanics don't unlock all recipes, JEI is highly recommended. Geckolib is mandatory, without it the mod won't work.
DISCLAIMER 3: It was inspired by several horror mods (Voided Reality, In The Corners, Wonderland.jar, Beyond The Skybox and etc.), so don't be surprised if you encounter some elements slightly smiliar to those from aforementioned mods. But overall, it actually takes place in PMSD Foundation universe - the same universe where Dreamland and Blood Anarchy take place.
What can be expected now:
-90+ entities, each with unique features. Some of them even have several states. They can be divided into seprate categories: Darkborns have Shadows, Cosmic Shadows, Anomalies and The Abyssborns, as well as Shadow Spectres. While the light side has Souls and Celestial Machine Crew.
-20+ Dimensions, some of which are for bossfights, and the full home of Shadows - Shadow Domain! Also, a lot of them are actual planets - either Innerlands or Outerlands. Or Abstract Worls.
-30+ biomes, with lots of structures spawning on. Some are for decorations, but some have functionality. A good amount of them contains lore about the past servers and about Darkborns.
-Plenty of mechanics, including but not limited to: Raid Party - prepare a wide flat area and try to repel the attack of Civil Federation. Also, some killed (by Converted Shadows) entities have a chance to turn into Covnerteds! And watch out for corruption that can take over your world. Also, the mechanics of alternative ways to get Cores are present as well.
-High-tech stuff for techno lovers - get immense benefits from technology. And a big chance to successfully defeating Shadows. Some gadgets may provide useful information about World Progression and locate potentially lethal Shadows. The pinncale of technology is Shadow Computer - the latest invention of Shadow Industries.
-World Progression - the world can enter various stages, depending on the actions and events happening. The more corruption points Shadow Universe earns, the more the world descends into darkness.
-Five tiers of tools and armor, with certainty that there will be more.
-Codexes containing entries about all Darkborn entities, be it a Shadow or an Abyssborn.
-chat system with not only Void Dude, but with Sentient and Master Cosmos as well!
-Voiceover for Voidful Shadows and The Sentient, and custom sounds!
-New crafting blocks, like Rocket Workstation or Core Reformator.
-Rockets and interplanetary exploration - jump from planet to planet in a big quest to stop Msatermind of The Cosmos.
-(1.6.5 and onwards) Anomaly containment - Anomalies became active after Master Cosmos was banished. Celestial Machine, seeing your power and perseverance, decided to hire you for this task.
-Retextured assets of original Minecraft - Shadow Universe has strengthened its hold.
-Surprise events - during some seemingly ordinary processes, Shadows may suddenly ambush you!
-(Greatly overhauled) Lore and backstory. Darkborns have a record track of destroying several servers and worlds, as well as legends of emergence of certain famous personalities. Discover the Celestial Machine Crew's attempt to study them and then go to the final battle to stop Shadow Face - the real mastermind of Darkborns.
-Some cool tunes, including bossfight themes, ambient, main menu music, custom sounds and even memories section.
-configuration of some aspects, like The Void damage required to challenge Void Wire, Complex Shadows Chase Time Modifier or Display of welcome messages and even Iron Will Mode - a challenge for true hardcore lovers: can you complete the mod with 10 lives in total?
-And much more!
Upcoming Updates:
(Upcoming) 1.6.5, 1.7.0 and 1.7.4: Overhaul Era - the expansion and completion of the 3rd chapter, with new dimensions based on less known aspects of primordial horror rather than liminality, and more interactions with Celestial Machine. Formerly named Unforgotten Infinity Update, it will also become known as Overhaul Era due to the fact all the mobs that exist before 1.6.5 will be remodeled and changed to avoid misunderstanding and better encapsulate the setting of Darkbrons. (Starting from it, I stop saying release dates so you'll be calmer. The first update incoming is Overhaul Era Preview Update)
