Wandering Orc FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I make orcs stop attacking me?
Find a wandering Goblin Trader and purchase the peace item from them—this will make the orc tribes friendly toward you. Once you've made peace, you can trade with female orcs in the tribe to unlock exclusive items and recipes.
What are infected blocks and how do I get rid of them?
Crawlers place infected blocks that boost undead monsters' strength when stepped on. You can clean them up by using treant essence dirt to convert infected blocks back into normal dirt, stopping the corruption spread.
Do orcs always spawn alone or in groups?
Common-tier orcs spawn randomly alone, but uncommon and stronger orcs travel together in organized patrols, making them more dangerous when encountered.
Can I control which mobs the orcs attack?
Yes—edit the orc_enemies.js tag file to customize which mobs orcs will target. This lets you protect specific creatures or change the mod's behavior to suit your world.
What creatures does this mod add besides orcs?
The mod introduces minotaurs, trolls, ogres, spriggans, crawlers, and goblins, giving you a variety of dangerous enemies and NPCs to encounter across your world.
How do I prepare for orc patrols?
Stronger orcs patrol in groups with higher health and damage, so gather good armor and weapons before engaging. Watch for patrol formations moving across biomes and plan your approach accordingly.
Can I adjust how often mobs spawn or how strong they are?
Yes—the config files let you customize spawn rates, damage values, and health pools for all mobs in the mod, so you can tune difficulty to your preference.
What's the difference between orc ranks?
Orcs come in common, uncommon, and boss tiers, with each rank having higher health and damage stats. Boss-tier chieftains are the most dangerous and typically lead tribes.
Do infected blocks spread on their own?
Infected blocks don't automatically spread, but crawlers will continue to place new ones as they roam. Cleaning them up with treant essence dirt prevents the corruption from accumulating in your world.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod adds many roaming mobs to your world, so performance depends on your hardware and config settings. You can reduce spawn rates and patrol sizes in the config files if you experience slowdowns.
