Description

**** 02.02.2022  IMPORTANT NOTICE: POPULOUS IS GOING TO BE MIGRATED STEP BY STEP INTO A NEW MOD. FINALLY RELEASED, CHECK HERE FOR THE NEW MOD XII - THE HANGED MAN ***

  

 

======================================================================================================================

POPULOUS UPDATE

 

Date: 05.01.2022

Check changelog for full details

 

 

 

 

POPULOUS NEXT UPDATE

New mob: Centaur

 

======================================================================================================================

 

POPULOUS DESCRIPTION:

 
  

Populous is an ambitious and continuos project which will be constantly updated. The purpose here is populating our loved world with tons of new inhabitants which may include: animals, forest creatures, monsters, evil essences, legendary mobs, fantasy beings and so forth. Each will come with its own custom (homemade) drops: funny weapons, strange ranged items, evil mobs, lovely drops, powerful blocks, backpacks, weapons, equipment and more and more.  

Populous mobs and items are very rare, if you don't find a mob is just cause it's rare to be found but all entities naturally spawn. Just keep on searching. Each mob comes in his correct biome (no penguin in the desert or camels in swamp) and we do not have any over number of mobs, all spawn weights are perfectly calibrated

If you don't drop an item is just cause it's rare, the more mobs you kill the better chances to drop rare stuff you have.

 

 

POPULOUS HELP:

Lot of people are asking me for a Wiki so I decided to give some hints here below. Populous is a SURVIVAL mod. Playing on Survival mod is the funniest and more challing way to play Populous. I know mod has become quite complex and articulated this is why I'm now showing some mechanisms, procedures and else. Take in mind that all ingame items have an accurate description of their use so if you just switch to creative mod you can learn a lot about Populous

OTHER MODS:

 

** For recipes please use Jei

 

** Compatibily with most of other mods including the most famous Biomes mods (Biomes o plenty, Biomes you'll go etc...). Populous mobs also spawn in these mods biomes (in some cases Populous mobs will ONLY spawn in some not vanilla biomes). Most of Biomes type mods just offer not populated biomes, now with Populous all other mods Biomes will finally have life inside

 

** Ok for Modpacks, you can add Populous and please credit author
