Vharkel: The Children of Vharkos

An alien race flees its dying world and arrives on Earth. Vharkel adds the Vharkel people to your world: traders who want to share the planet, hunters who believe it belongs to them, a tameable companion, and a dormant Oracle that remembers the fall of their home. Explore five structures, fight four bosses, and build a full armor set.

Story

The Vharkel come from Vharkos, an arid world that orbited a giant, dying star. They are tall and thin, with grey-violet skin and four eyes that glow in the dark. Their chest holds a living crystal called the Core. For thousands of years they took crystal from the heart of their planet until it destabilized. In three generations Vharkos became uninhabitable, and the Great Diaspora scattered thousands of ships. The survivors found Earth: a young planet with a stable core and rich minerals.

Three factions came out of the Diaspora:

• Custodians want to share the world and learn from it.
• Reapers believe Earth belongs to them by right of survival.
• Wanderers are explorers who lost their ships and survive as they can.

Characters

All of them are in the Vharkel creative tab as spawn eggs. The eyes, runes and cores glow in the dark.

Structures and blocks

Five structures can be placed with /place template:

• Rescue Ship: hostile, medium size.
• Harvester: hostile, giant, home of the Great Reaper.
• Mother Ship: hostile, enormous, home of the Sovereign Reaper.
• Custodian Village: peaceful, with a wall, market, forge, library and crops.
• Custodian City: peaceful, with a wall, market, forge, library and crops.

The mod adds 10 blocks that appear only in these structures. No mob from the mod despawns on its own. They only disappear when they are killed.

Materials, armor and weapon

The progression goes like this:

1. Defeat bosses to get the Reaper Core.
2. Mine Stellar Shards from Star Blood with a stone pickaxe or better.
3. Combine them into the Vharkel Ingot.
4. Craft the Vharkel Armor, a full set with night vision and fire resistance.

The Laser Cannon (a beam that pierces enemies) drops from the Great Reaper and the Sovereign Reaper, or you can craft it.

Multiplayer

Install the mod on the server (or on the LAN host) and on every client, with the same Forge version.

Configuration

There is no config file.

Notes

• Bosses have no boss bar. Players find out how a boss is doing from its messages in chat.
• Mobs are only removed when killed. Nothing from the mod disappears by itself.
• Language: the dialogue and text are in Spanish, with English included so the mod reads in any game language.
• Custodians and Kael'Thun flee from Reapers.
• Found a bug? Report it with your Forge version and your mod list.
