Surviving the New Mobs, Status Effects and Damage Types

Forge Forge Frontier adds more than 5 new enemy mobs, 7 new status effects and 3 new damage types. You don't need to memorise them in advance. These habits help you learn them safely.

Learning What Hit You

1. Read your status effects. When an effect lands on you, its icon appears in the top right of the screen. Open your inventory to see the effect's name and how long it lasts.

2. Read your death messages. If something kills you, the death screen text is a quick way to work out which of the new damage types you ran into.

3. Note which mob caused it. Each time you meet a new mob, take a mental note of how it fights and what it leaves behind.

Staying Alive

• Carry milk. In vanilla, drinking a milk bucket clears status effects. It's worth trying on the mod's effects when one turns bad. Keep a few buckets of milk for exploring.
• Bring healing. Golden apples and healing potions buy you time while you work out an unfamiliar threat.
• Wear your best armour. New damage types can catch you off guard.
• Fight from a safe spot. Until you know a mob's attacks, use a bow or crossbow, or build a quick barrier.
• Use the mod's gear. Over 140 items and tools are aimed at combat and gathering. Check your drops and the creative inventory to find weapons worth trying.
