Encounter the explosive Shattered and mysterious Skywarden, with End shrines, Elytra enchantments, and smithing reinforcements.
Description:
Skywarden & Shattered introduces an armored predator beneath the surface and a mysterious trader on the outer End islands.
The Shattered stalks players through dark underground areas with a hunched approach before closing in for an explosive attack. Its armored shell makes it a tough opponent, and its explosions respect mobGriefing. Collect its shards, craft shell blocks, and smelt them into Shattered ingots.
Combine an ingot with compatible equipment in a smithing table to improve mining speed, melee damage and knockback, or armor knockback resistance and explosion protection. Adding a Shattered head enables a stronger reinforcement tier. Existing item data and upgrades are preserved, and bonuses do not stack indefinitely. Heads can drop from rare player kills or a charged-creeper kill.
Explore the outer End islands to discover Skywarden shrines. These rare custom traders offer four specialized Elytra enchantments:
-
Aether Glide slows descent while gliding.
-
Void Lift provides an upward burst during flight, with a cooldown.
-
Slipstream increases horizontal speed while diving.
-
Feather Fall (Elytra) reduces landing damage during or shortly after gliding.
Skywardens also repel Endermen within a 50-block radius. Nearby hostile Endermen lose their target and attempt to teleport away to a safe location.
Requires Minecraft 26.1.2, NeoForge 26.1.2.114, and GeckoLib 5.5.2. Install on both server and client. The current release is a beta.
