Warriors of Past Epoch

Warriors of Past Epoch is a modification that expands gameplay by adding thematic armor sets with unique characteristics and combat styles, as well as new mobs and structures. The mod is focused on the mid-game stage, offering variety in equipment choice and combat tactics.

In addition to armor and weapons, the mod includes various items that complement the thematic sets. All equipment is crafted from new resources and materials that can be found or crafted in the game world.

Compatibility and Requirements

The mod requires GeckoLib to function. It is recommended to use alongside the Better Combat mod, which adds various attack types and expands weapon capabilities.

The mod was created using the MCreator tool.

New Resources and Items

The mod adds many new resources and items necessary for crafting weapons and armor. Equipment sets have unique characteristics and gameplay styles. Maximum effectiveness is achieved when using a complete set from one category, but nothing prevents you from combining elements as you wish.

Forgotten Steel

A new type of ore that can be found in caves at depths from 10 to -64 blocks. Requires at least an iron pickaxe to mine. Used in most recipes for crafting new items.

Cistus

A new plant found in plains, meadows, and forests. Can be grown using bone meal. It is the main component for creating anti-plague serum.

Batwing

Regular bats now drop one to two batwings. This item can be eaten, but it will apply the Morbidity effect to you. It can also be used to make Bat Soup, which provides good satiety but also applies Morbidity. A more important use of this ingredient is creating morbidity concentrate.

Moldy Cheese

Can be found in new mod structures as loot. Can be eaten or used to tame a scavenger rat (using moldy cheese makes the rat follow you much faster). It can also be used to make a Stale Cheese Sandwich.

When consuming the sandwich, you receive the Aura: Rat Power effect for 5 minutes. Under this effect, the strength, durability, and speed of all tamed rats around you are increased.

Musketeer Set

Musketeer Armor

Light equipment for those who prefer to combine ranged and melee combat. Armor is crafted using Thickened Skin, Azure Fabric, and Forgotten Metal. Protection level is comparable to iron armor.

Bonuses when wearing a full set:

• Significantly increases musket reload speed (from 4 seconds to 1.5 seconds)
• Increases the power of the musketeer rapier's piercing strike (increases bonus damage, knockback power, and target slow duration)

Musketeer Rapier

Melee weapon with good attack speed and average damage. When performing a successful series of three strikes, the third strike is guaranteed to be a Piercing strike. A Piercing Strike at the moment of impact gives you strength, increasing damage dealt, knocks back the enemy and slightly slows them, while you receive a temporary speed boost allowing you to approach again or retreat. When wearing a full musketeer armor set, bonus damage, knockback power, and the duration of slow and speed boost are increased.

Musket

Powerful ranged weapon with long reload time. Requires musket ammo to fire. After firing, requires a long reload of up to 4 seconds, but when wearing a full musketeer armor set, reload time is reduced to 1.5 seconds.

Ammo Bag

Allows carrying a large amount of musket ammo, but ammo must be transferred from the bag to inventory before firing.

Plague Doctor Set

Plague Doctor Armor

Light armor set for those who want to use plague as a weapon. Make enemies suffer from various diseases and periodic damage. Armor is crafted using Sterile Tissue, Thickened Skin, Forgotten Steel, and Cistus. Protection is comparable to iron armor.

Bonuses when wearing a full set:

• You gain immunity to poison and all effects of diseases and plague
• Increases the duration and strength of the Rough Wound effect from surgical saw attacks

Surgical Saw

Melee weapon with average attack speed and damage. Saw attacks apply the Rough Wound effect to enemies.

Under this effect, the target receives periodic damage every 5 seconds, and all plague and disease effects are enhanced. When wearing a full plague doctor armor set, periodic damage dealt and effect duration are increased.

Plague and disease effects are new effects that can be applied to targets, each spreading to others, so use them carefully and only under Disease Resistance or with a full plague doctor armor set to avoid dying yourself.

Anti-plague Serum

Medicine created by brewing Cistus in a water bottle using a brewing stand. When consumed, grants the Disease Resistance effect, protecting you from all plague and disease effects for half an hour.

Morbidity Concentrate

Created by brewing Batwing or Rat Carcass in a water bottle using a brewing stand. When used, grants the Contagious Touch: Morbidity effect for half an hour, which applies the Morbidity effect to everyone you hit. Under this effect, the target receives the Weakness effect, and if also under the Rough Wound effect, receives movement speed slowdown. Every 5 seconds, Morbidity spreads to all nearby mobs and players from the infected mob.

Plague Serum: Decay

Created by brewing Rotten Flesh in Morbidity Concentrate using a brewing stand. When used, grants Contagious Touch: Decay for half an hour, under which your attacks apply Plague: Decay to the target. Under the Plague: Decay effect, protective effects are removed from the target and it receives periodic damage every 3 seconds, undead receive more periodic damage, and the presence of the Rough Wound effect also increases periodic damage dealt. The plague spreads to everyone nearby every 3 seconds.

Plague Serum: Pestilence

Created by brewing Crimson Fungus in Morbidity Concentrate using a brewing stand. When used, grants Contagious Touch: Pestilence for half an hour, causing your attacks to apply Plague: Pestilence to the target. While affected by Plague: Pestilence, the target loses any healing effects, and your attacks on the target heal you, while if the target is affected by Rough Wound, you are healed more. The plague spreads to nearby mobs and players every time an infected mob is attacked.

Plague Serum: Black Death

Created by brewing Wither Rose in Morbidity Concentrate using a brewing stand. When used, grants Contagious Touch: Black Death, causing your attacks to apply Plague: Black Death to the target. This effect is the most dangerous. It deals periodic damage every two seconds; if the target also has the Rough Wound effect, periodic damage is scaled based on the entity's current health. What makes it even more dangerous is that it spreads over a large distance from the infected every 2 seconds, and unlike other plague types, this effect never ends until the infected dies or is cured of the disease. If you lose control of Plague: Black Death, it can destroy everything in the area.

New Mobs

In the world, you will encounter new mobs; they can be either aggressive or neutral. Each mob is thematically linked to a specific armor set. Meet enemies representing a bygone era or find new friends and pets.

Skeleton Musketeer

Aggressive undead that can be found in any biome, as well as in Musketeers Fort. This skeleton is protected from sunlight and extremely dangerous due to its long firing range and high shot damage, however, after each shot, the musketeer needs to reload, which takes 3 seconds, during which it is vulnerable. If its shots hit blocks such as Gunpowder Barrel or Dynamite, it causes an instant explosion.

Drops when killed: Bones, Azure Cloth, Gunpowder, Nugget of Forgotten Metal, and very rarely a Musket.

Scavenger Rat

Neutral mob that appears in biomes such as plains, meadows, dark forest, and taiga. In groups of one to three individuals. Has a rare albino variation. With its attacks, the rat applies the Morbidity effect to the target, and the rat itself is immune to plague and disease effects, however, it can spread diseases to everyone it attacks if it is under this effect itself.

A rat can be tamed as a scavenger using Rotten Flesh or Moldy Cheese (using Moldy Cheese makes the rat follow you much faster). A tamed rat will follow you and help in battles with mobs (note that the effect of the diseases it inflicts can transfer from the enemy to you, so use them as battle pets when you have Disease Resistance or are wearing a full plague doctor armor set). You can order your pet to sit by right-clicking if you want to leave it at home. The Rat is an ideal pet for those playing through the plague doctor armor set and plague effects, due to its immunity to diseases and ability to spread them to everyone it attacks.

When killed, a rat drops a Rat Carcass, which can be used to create Morbidity Concentrate.

New Structures

With this mod, structures will generate in your world, thematically referencing armor sets, where you can find mod items and new mobs.

Musketeers Fort

Generates in plain biomes, contains a fairly large amount of loot, and is a spawn point for Skeleton Musketeers, making this place dangerous, but worth the risk due to the value of the loot. The structure also contains many Gunpowder Barrels, which if hit by Skeleton Musketeer shots can cause an explosion, making this place even more dangerous.

Forgotten Shack

Generates in all taiga biomes. It is a dilapidated hut that once belonged to a doctor. In it, you can find mod resources, mainly related to preparing medicines and morbidity concentrate, as well as sometimes materials necessary for potion-making that cannot be obtained in the Overworld.

In addition to loot, you can find many Scavenger Rats in this building.
