Note: Requires Mod Helpers
Implements dynamic mob invasions. Use a
Crafted at a
Tinker's Workshop with:
- 1x Magic/Ice Mirror
- 5x Banners (any npc); specifies each invading mob's type
- 1x Music Box (any recorded); specifies invasion's music
- Mob types can be customized by crafting with their respective banner. All mobs (including modded ones) that drop banners can be added. Note: Some mobs won't want to stick around if they're not in their respective biome/time-of-day/event, currently. Hoping to fix this, soon.
- The Aggregator requires Eternia Crystals to summon. Cost increases with use.
- Config file: Documents/My Games/Terraria/ModLoader/Mod Configs/Dynamic Invasions Config.json
