Cracker's Wither Storm Mod

 Next biggest CWSM update, focusing mostly on quality of life features and bug fixes.

• Sky ambience effects

The sky will now darken accordingly to the Wither Storm's current phase

• Mob panicking

Mobs near the Wither Storm will now panic and run away from the Wither Storm, depending on the phase

Any animal including most hostile mobs, such as zombies, creepers, etc. are affected by this feature

• Tainted block clusters on death

Block clusters full of tainted blocks will now drop during the Wither Storm's death animation

Useful for players who want to use the tainted blocks for building, etc.

• Added a separate tag for the Wither Storm's summoning blocks
• Added an option to disable the Withered Symbiont from summoning
• Config option to make debris render as 2D in later phases
• Disabled music by default

It was pointed out by a user that, while I was fully aware when developing this mod, that there could be potential copyright issues with the Wither Storm theme which is used. While myself and others have had no issues, to play it safe the boss music has been disabled by default
