Howling Moon
Last Updated: May 29, 2018 Game Version: 1.12.2
Forum Link:
This mod allows players to become werewolves.
Getting Started
In order to become a werewolf, a player needs to become infected by getting attacked by a werewolf (Full Moon nights) in forest areas. Once infected, the player will transform on the first full moon night.
Once a werewolf the player will gain access to a menu to see their werewolf stats and adjust their texture, model, and abilities.
1.12.2 - Version 0.9 Information
Keybindings
Transformation key default was changed to J.
Werewolf Menu: K
Text commands
/werewolf <true|false>
/werelevel <amount>
/wereprogress [0-8] [-1, 0, 1]
Moon Pearl
Obtain from killing hunters who hold them.
Required for werewolves to progress. (Every 5 levels, have Moon Pearl in inventory and go to sleep at night)
Can reveal the identity of non transformed werewolves close to the holder.
Will also be used in a future recipe.
Hunter's Lodge and Banner
May be created near villages. To protect villagers from werewolves and zombies.
Banner acts as a rallying point for hunters and can spawn hunters around it.
Banner can be picked up and moved. However it will not spawn hunters if placed by a werewolf.
Silver
Any Tool/Weapon that uses the OreDictionary's "ingotSilver" in it's recipe will work for Werewolves weakness.
Progression
Was slightly rushed in some areas to have it ready. Area will be improved in some areas for 1.0.
There is already a warning in-game but for the level 20 area, it is recommended to only have the moon pearl on you when you sleep. The final area is designed to kill instead of ejecting you out for failing the trial.
The Dimension prevents blocks from being placed or destroyed, except in creative mode.
Should you encounter any problems with getting stuck, either a npc failed to spawn or you get trapped (There should always be a hole you can fall through to exit, in a corner near the spawn area.). Try leaving (if able) and returning, that should fix npc spawn problems. Otherwise delete "DIM-HM-FOREST" in the world folder, don't do it while the game is running, and it'll be recreated. If a player logged out in the dim and the folder was deleted a "cascading worldgen lag" error might occur once they log in. This is okay don't worry.
Wolfsbane Texture
If you prefer the old wolfsbane texture you can replace it by:
Rename it to "wolfsbane"
Open this mod's jar (can use 7-Zip or WinRAR)
Place the texture in assets\howlingmoon\textures\blocks\
Installation Instructions:
Requires Forge
Recommend Version or higher.
Place the jar in the Mods directory.

Posted Oct 25, 2018Suggestions: This mod is on the right track. keep it up brother. You start out weak as all sin, basicly a wooden sword thats a bit faster, then you get to be the real horror story monster. Not invinceable but careful play, leveling, and gear/potions can make you very close
Hunters: They spawn just a bit too frequently regardless of your level of werewolf activity. If it is possible I think their spawning should be limited to villages and what your actual werewolf level is. the higher the level the more agressive the spawns or hunting parties but staggered so the werewolf doesnt get trapped in a dirt hut forever.
Werewolves:
*Becoming one could use some work. werewolf Wolves that don't aggro till you get close to a pack of normal wolves for example, maybe a villager is really a horror movie waiting to happen. Either way unless you have tinkered around with settings, surviving a werewolf encounter is possible but you have to cheese it pretty hard and not alert the two or three other werewolves in the forest.
*The red screen and sound effects were a nice touch on the night before transformation. That should stay but should change in its frequency. Once each time it becomes night after infected, then the day of the full moon it should happen with increasing frequency or perhaps the intensity. i watched the event carefully at its pretty close to being once every 1 (or was it 2?) hours in minecraft time. just enough time for someone to wonder whats going on but it should build tension. With existing werewolves, some alert that tonight is going to be a wolf night would be nice but needs not be as invasive (or it can be what it currently is, i like the audio and visual que and not being filled with 50 arrows while accidentally still in the village)
*Something to let you know you accidentally went werewolf instead of checking your map. maybe a wolf howl or something, maybe a few particles
*The impact of the Armor Perk and the damage reduction stat could both do with some form of visual aid.
The damage reduction stat instead of being turned off from having armor on could do with say, Improving what you get from the reduced armor effect that way you can be wearing armor like you normally would while not a werewolf (Im not a pro at the minecraft armor maths so I dont know what the information means, just that a visual aid would be nice and Really to think about it for a moment
This is how I think it currently works
Werewolf Resist > Unarmored Person
Werewolf Resist = Leather armored Person
Werewolf Resist < Iron Armored Person
Werewolf Iron Armor = Leather Armored person?
Werewolf Iron armor > Iron armor Person
Werewolf Iron armor > Enchanted anything Person
Werewolf Iron armor max resist = Iron Armored Person This should be the end game result with a tweek. some mods will still blow the werewolf out of the water but unless I dont understand the resistance at all, this ought to atleast keep it fair-ish
(!!!) The bleed effect is also suffering from a bad case of 'too little' mixed with unintended bug. First, about ten levels in you can two shot most things, one shot most others, hardly a point to have a half heart bleed (if it could intensify through leveling or stack like Bleed I to Bleed II and so on that would be nifty. Creepers that get the bleed Debuff that then explode, send the bleeding debuff to everything caught in the explosion. Is like a thrown lingering potion of Bleed. It made the creeper MORE dangerous. not terribly dangerous as the debuff is about like Wither...only longer lasting

Posted Jun 12, 2018Uh one thing, Da wherewolves are too OP. Maybe make them weaker or make silver poisoning stronger.
Also add the thing from vampirism that you can become a hunter.
Also add compatability with Vampirism so when werewolf you can't become vampire and when vampire you can become werewolf.

Posted Jun 11, 2018Hey there were some things removed throughout the mod history I would want back.
First, I want howling back. Because the sound is cool and it fits in with being a werewolf.
Second, I would like the feature when you get to a certain level. You can change the morph of a character like into a wolf shape character.
Third, I want making packs back from 1.7.10. It was fun and it made it more entertaining.
Lastly, a thing that wasn't in the game ever but I think should would be able to change your eyes from normal to red/evil eyes because I don't really like the red eyes on my werewolf sometimes. I feel like I want more normal colored eyes.
Thank you for reading this comment.

Posted Jun 5, 2018I could be wrong, but I remember previous versions giving werewolves night vision...are you planning on reimplementing night vision for 1.12? And what about werewolf packs? Perhaps make it so players can either start a whole new pack, or find an already existing pack to join. maybe allow players to challenge the alpha of any packs they come across, and if they defeat the alpha they become the new one (pack alphas could serve as bosses and would be more powerful than normal npc werewolves, maybe even scale to player werewolf level to make them even more of a challenge) I also have a few final suggestions:
1) consider making it so that while players are pack alphas, they will sometimes be challenged by other werewolves and they have to defeat them to continue being the alpha (again, these would be stronger than normal werewolves, possibly even scaling to player level, and perhaps in multiplayer, players could challenge other players for the rank of alpha)
2) could you consider adding a config option to adjust how quickly werewolves can level up? Right now it's just too darn tedious and slow (in my opinion)
3) perhaps in a similar fashion to Maxanier's Vampirism mod, could you make it so that players could also become werewolf hunters? Perhaps add an injection, potion, etc. That players could use to become immune to lycanthropy, and they could use pearls to track werewolves, and silver weapons to kill them....perhaps you could also allow players to craft/obtain silver/silver tipped arrows for bows, maybe even silver armor that weakens nearby werewolves or gives player better protection from werewolves (maybe silver armor could ignore the "rend" ability that werewolves have which penetrates armor)

Posted Feb 4, 2018why do not you talk to the subject of the mod of vampirism so they can join and make a mod with the vampiric race the lycanthrope race the human race the vampire and wolf hunters and that there may be vampire and wolf hybrids and the bite of the wolves affect the vampires would be incredible that both join

Posted Nov 11, 2016In the 1.7.10 version, there is an issue with rendering various transformed models; the beast and dire forms show a black screen, while the normal and wolf forms have glitched textures. Despite these errors, I happen to like this mod quite a bit.
