Cave Dweller Overhaul

Overhauls the Cave Dweller with improved AI, features adapted from the original and Bedrock versions, plus some new additions


 

Overhauls the original Cave Dweller with improved AI, a new appearance, variants, mechanics, and some features from the Java and Bedrock versions.

 

LIST OF FEATURES:

 BEHAVIOR

On each encounter it selects one of the new and previous reactions:

  • Stroll: wanders around and can now open doors
  • Chase: moves toward the player. Has a short wind-up animation before it starts moving
  • Stare: stops and looks at the player. Can escalate into chase or flee within the amount of time preventing it from becoming stagnant
  • Flee: triggered by low health, catching fire, prolonged chase or randomly during a stare
  • Active Stalk: moves slowly toward the player and can escalate into chase, flee, or disappear within the amount of time
  • Leap: lunges at you within distance and can stick to walls while doing so
  • Camouflage: becomes transparent depending on the interaction or environment
  • Disappear: Can happen from an unresolved stare and becomes transparent
  • Sticks on Ceilings: sticks to a ceiling and stays there until the player gets too close or looks at it

VARIANTS

Added new variants that spawns depending on how deep you are in caves or in specific areas:

  • Cave Dweller: average health and damage, camouflages when around nearby mobs
  • Deep Cave Dweller: high health and damage, breaks doors rather than just opening them and disables shields. Becomes more common the deeper you are in caves and more likely to spawn in deepslate areas
  • Ancient Cave Dweller: higher health, damage, and camouflages often. Becomes more common the deeper you are in caves and more likely to spawn in Ancient Cities

ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS

Added more interactions to blocks and items:

  • Armor Piercing: can sometimes ignore player armor
  • Doors, trapdoors, fence gates: can now open or break them while wandering or stalking. While chasing, tougher variants break through instead of opening
  • Fire: catching fire causes it to go into panic mode for a set duration before going back to chasing a player
  • Shields: can put shields on cooldown or instantly break them
  • Torches: torches starts flickering and unlit around Cave Dwellers

ON DEATH

Rewards players who are lucky enough or die trying:

  • A player-death animation, similar to Bedrock, triggers under certain conditions
