Prehistoric Rift 0.0.13

As always, you will need Geckolib for 1.12.2 and LLibrary for the mod to run.

Added Ankyosaurus

• Found in deserts
• Have an almost invincible shell and a thick club that they use as a weapon
• The shell can only be damaged by explosions
• Upon reaching 25% health, they will hide in the shell, and any attacks towards them will damage anything that hits them, and will regenerate inside
• Can be tamed with herbivore meals (and ridden as well)

New JSON configs and Spawning System!

All the creature specific config files have been revamped, and have since been turned into JSON files! This should be somewhat more convenient (at least on my end)

In addition, the mod has its own custom spawning system completely separate from vanilla (partially based on bedrock's). From now on, all creatures from the mod will randomly spawn around the player and will keep on spawning until all the creatures reach their density limits (a mob cap might be implemented soon)

Other Changes

• Locational damage for hitboxes finally implemented!
  • Note that when a mob is being attacked, the hitbox nearest to the attacker will be the one that's hit
• Some improvements to how target selection upon using left click while riding a creature works (especially when shoulder surfing is being utilized)
• When a tamed creature is used to break a block it can break, it will break a 3 x 3 area, with the block being targeted being the bottom (mainly so that you dont trap urself in a hole while riding)
• Added options in the general config where certain creatures will never spawn in a certain radius surrounding spawn (by default 512 blocks) until after a certain number of days (by default 3)

Crafttweaker compatilibity

The following image shows all the ZenScript functions associated with the semi manual machines. It should be noted that all the classes have a function that removes all recipes (its removeAllRecipes() btw), and that the semi manual hammerer barely has zenscript associated with it because its recipes are pegged to the bloomery's, so add recipes to it from there instead

New Items

• Added Pyroberry and Cryoberry
  
  
  • Pyroberries spawn in plains biomes while Cryoberries will spawn in tundra biomes
  • You can turn them into juices using either the semi manual extractor or these recipes
