☠️ Expanded Necromancy

Summary

Expands Hytale’s necromancy system with craftable grimoires, undead companions, mounts, spectral entities, necromantic weapons, armor, and progression-based summoning mechanics.

Description

This mod introduces Expanded Necromancy, a comprehensive collection of necromantic tools, grimoires, and systems for summoner-focused gameplay.

To access necromantic crafting, players must first create the Necromancer Workbench, the dedicated station for crafting necromantic items, grimoires, and upgrades.

Crafting Progression:

The Necromancer Workbench is crafted at a Level 2 Workbench.

Grimoires, necromantic ingredients, upgrades, and spellbooks are crafted at the Necromancer Workbench.

Necromancer Armor is crafted using Necrocloth at the Blacksmith Anvil.
Necrocloth is made from Necrocloth scraps, gathered from Void enemies and crafted into Necrosinew and Bolt of Necrocloth at the Loom (crafted via the regular Workbench).

Using these systems, players can summon undead allies, mounts, and spectral companions, which follow their summoner and act as loyal companions.

Consumes Essence of the Void.
