Lycanite's Mobs Core Mechanics

Beastiary and Knowledge

The Beastiary is the central hub for managing your interactions with the mod's creatures. You can access it via a hotkey (default 'G').

• Knowledge Rank: To interact with a mob (taming or summoning), you must first gain Knowledge of it. Knowledge is gained by killing the mob, using a Soulgazer on it, or through rare items like Knowledge Scrolls.
• Rank 1: Unlocks basic information and drops.
• Rank 2: Allows the creature to be summoned as a minion using a Summoning Staff.

Taming and Soulbinding

Many creatures in the mod can be tamed to serve as pets or mounts.

1. Treats: Each creature type requires a specific Treat (e.g., Avian Treat for Rocs). Feeding a treat to a wild creature increases its Loyalty. Once the loyalty bar is full, the creature is tamed.
2. Soulstones: Once tamed, use a Soulstone on the creature to bind it to your soul. Soulbound pets can be summoned or dismissed at will from the Beastiary and will respawn after a short cooldown if they die.
3. Mounts: Certain large creatures can be equipped with a saddle. While riding, you can use special abilities (default 'F').

Summoning System

Summoning allows you to call forth temporary minions or permanent soulbound pets.

• Summoning Staff: Uses Summoning Focus (a regenerating resource) to spawn temporary minions. The type of minion and its AI (Aggressive, Defensive, etc.) are configured in the Beastiary.
• Summoning Pedestal: A block that can be placed to automatically summon and maintain a set of minions to guard an area.
• Spirit: Soulbound pets use Spirit instead of Focus. You have a maximum of 10 Spirit points; each pet has a specific cost to remain active.
