About Luminous: Monsters
From ModrinthLUMINOUS: Monsters brings 16 new Zombie and Skeleton variants to the base game, each in their own respective environment. All of these variants can be found in my other mods -LUMINOUS: OVERWORLD and LUMINOUS: NETHER
Consider joining the LUMINOUS discord, where you can report bugs/get some sneek peaks on projects/updates! LUMINOUS:MONSTERS Adds 16 different Skeleton / Zombie variants to the game - all themed aroud vanilla environments/biomes!
Miner Zombie / Skeleton - These undergound monsters spawn in all cave biomes! The Miner Zombie has a 70% chance to spawn with either a stone, iron, or gold pickaxe in its hand!
Icy Zombie / Skeleton - These frosty variant spawn in all biomes with snow! They will inflict the "freeze" effect on the player when attacking!
Swamp Zombie / Skeleton - These variants are found in all swamp biomes! They will poison the player when attacking!
Dark Oak Zombie / Skeleton - These variants are exclusive to the dark oak forest, and have a chance to dorp mushrooms when killed!
Cherry Zombie / Skeleton - These colorful variants are exclusive to the cherry grove biome!
Savanna Zombie / Skeleton - These dried out variants are exclusive to savanna biomes, and will inflict slowness when attacking the player!
Hollow Skeleton - This skeleton variant takes the spot of the desert counterpart to the husk, and causes hunger when attacking the player!
Sunken Skeleton - These nautical looking skeleton variants are smarter than their drowner counterparts - as they much prefer to roam the beacher, where their bow will still work. They have a very rare chance to drop a nautilus shell!
Crimson Walker - This Crimson variant of the zombie spawns exclusively in Crimson Forest biomes, and when killed, explodes into a red cloud, applying a new effect - Hemorrhage, which causes players to take damage every time they attack another entity!
Revenant Skeleton - This skeleton variant roams the Soul Sand Valleys, and heals itself for every successful hit it lands on the player!
