About Cackleheim

From Thunderstore

An alternative playable race in the form of an elaborate set of armor

An alternative playable race in the form of an elaborate set of armor

The base body dey Cackle uses the chest slot and only requires a single piece of wood to craft.

Note about Online: For it to work on multiplayer, everyone would need to have the mod on to be able to see each other.

Features:

Playable gnolls & frens with multiple color variants Custom crafting table Custom sets of armor for each current tier

Planned:

Custom hair and additional accessories if possible Model swaps for enemy mobs

##

Quirks

Swapping to a vanilla chest armor directly from the base [dey Cackle] will make the texture overlay of the chest armor not appear This can be easily fixed by just re-equipping the chest armor, or taking off the base before equipping the vanilla armor

Cons

Most existing armor doesn't fit anymore visually

Shorter beards will look a little silly poking out from the underside of the jaw, but bigger beards still kind of work well enough. I recommend making a new character, or finding a character editor to change your beard and hair.
