Endermite Overhaul

Have you ever felt that endermites have wasted potential as a gameplay mechanic? If so, so do I. This mod attempts to fix that by changing and expanding on endermite mechanics.

As 1.7.10 is the main version of the game I still play, for now it will be the primary target version for this mod. If someone wants to port the mod to a different version of the game, please get in touch (see #Contributing)

Dependencies

Requires Et Futurum Requiem and UniMixins as a dependencies

Keep in mind Et Futurum Requiem might have dependencies on its own, so make sure to check this on the Et Futurum Requiem page.

Features

• Endermite eggs spawn in patches underground, in the nether and in the end.
• These eggs hatch after a while, or after they're trampled. Revealing a variable amount of endermites
• Endermen are drawn towards these eggs and will protect them
• Endermite eggs are the only source of endermen in the world (configurable)
• Endermen will aggro on anything that destroys the eggs
• Endermites have a chance to drop an egg on death (the chance increases up to 100% if the endermite is older than 10 minutes)
• An achievement is added for killing an endermen spawned near an endermite egg

Changes from vanilla endermite mechanics

• Endermen now protect endermites, rather than attack them
• (Optional) Disable vanilla endermen spawns, forcing the player to find endermite eggs in order to go to the end

Configurability

• Enable endermite egg generation (if this is disabled you can only get eggs by killing endermites obtained the regular way)
• Use a whitelist or a blacklist to configure where endermite eggs should spawn and how often
• Disable vanilla endermen spawns, forcing the player to find endermite eggs in order to go to the End
• Add an achievement for killing an endermen spawned near an endermite egg between "Into Fire" and "The End?"
