tModLoader Hardmode Plus Mod

[sOvr9000]

This mod is about adding extra content to the game post-Wall of Flesh. Get ready to fight some new bosses, craft new weapons, and have a great time!

This mod can be found in and installed from the tModLoader mod browser.

Join me and the community on our Discord server! There you can propose suggestions or simply talk about things in the mod.

>< -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ><
The destruction of the three mechanical contraptions has stimulated the bloodthirsty core of this entity. It will thrust hell upon the hero who managed to defeat its long-lived mechanical servants.

Alone, this metallic being hasn't much in the way of attack. However, over several millennia, it acquired and perfected the ability to materialize many things with its own matter, oftentimes with the intent of killing for coldblooded satisfaction. Never has it come across someone so... powerful.

Have you challenged its power?
It's going to find a way to terminate your viral existence.

>< -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ><
This force is all but a figment of your imagination. You've laid your eyes on the most repulsive things in the dungeon, and now it is coming after you -- all of it. Will you overcome the hallucination before it overcomes you?

• The Illusion...
  • can no longer be fought outside of the dungeon.
  • can now be summoned with an Ectoplasmic Distortion.

  • has significantly less health itself.
    • So, once you destroy the figments of your imagination, you can finally eliminate the source of the illusion.

Many extra features are planned for this mod, including new accessories, armor, biomes, lore, and more!

Thank you for checking out my mod! I began developing it on September 14, 2017.

If not implemented already, you should add support for Boss Checklist.
The forum thread tells you how.
Nice mod otherwise though, has lots of potential

Thank you for the feedback! I'll go ahead and add support for the boss checklist mod.

Can't wait to see this mod in a later date! This mod definitely has potential

Hey! I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy this mod! Here are my specific reasons for why:

1: Mechoraum is really tough, far tougher than the other mechanical bosses, and the weapon you can craft from its parts is pretty good!
2: The Illusion is pretty cool, and adds a fear factor to being in the dungeon!
3: I like every weapon that this mod adds to the game!

Now for some criticism and bug reports...

1: The original Blade of Hell doesn't work underwater, and I'm not sure if it's supposed to or not... It's also slightly overpowered at the point that you can craft it, so I'd increase the crafting requirements so it can be obtained after beating at least one mechanical boss.
2: It was unclear to me how to craft the true version of said weapon, since asking the guide about where to craft it shows nothing... I had to come to this page to learn how.
3: The Illusion follows you back to your spawning point without its minions, making it impossible to kill.
4: Split Second is OVERPOWERED, which wouldn't be a bad thing, except that if you're playing using mods that feature post Moon Lord content, this will likely decimate them completely, sucking some of the fun out of it... I definitely recommend much higher crafting requirements XD

Need an example of OVERPOWERED? I beat the Lunatic Cultist with one swing faster than I could say, "WOAH, THIS THING IS STRONG!"

Well, that's all I have to say about this mod! Also, I think Hardmode Plus is a good name

Yeah, I designed Split Second to be overpowered on purpose. However, I would like to keep it from being stupidly, unnecessarily overpowered.
The Blade of Hell is the first tier in its line of progression, and it is absolutely meant to be attained immediately after entering hardmode. Its inability to cast fireballs underwater is not a bug.
I try to keep things in this mod as unique as I possibly can from other mods, so that's why I made it so that the True Blade of Hell must be crafted at a living fire block.

 

[M644]

for some reason i can not make the true blade of hell, there's no object needed to craft it, when i go to the guide its just blank

 

[Moon_Man]

needs more weapons
preferrably for other classes

 

[Berzerkinblaze]

Will this mod be continued? I want to see what could happen next...

In the event that it will be, I remember the afterlives remaining invincible and attacking me and my friend after defeating Mechoraum...

 

[Manzello]

I'd be willing to sprite if it continues...
