Requires the library mod Collective.

This mod is part of The Vanilla Experience modpack and Serilum's RPG Bundle mod.
Pumpkillager's Quest is a SpookyJam 2022 submission. It adds a questline with multiple encounters, custom behaviours, (cosmetic) rewards and a challenging boss fight. This description will contain spoilers, but only after the <SPOILERS AHEAD> header.

The Pumpkillager

The mod does not add new assets. Instead, content is added via existing vanilla resource capabilities. Custom player head textures add new blocks, a custom renderer morphs entity sizes and event callbacks are used for added gameplay features. This also means that if you desire, the mod can be removed after the quest. You'll still be able to keep and use all rewards given.

There is a 1/10 chance to encounter the Pumpkillager when harvesting a pumpkin block. The pumpkin block has to be surrounded with empty spaces in the directions NESW, and above it. This is to prevent him from spawning where he shouldn't (e.g. custom pumpkin buildings). The mod adds a chance for a pumpkin to generate whenever a pig spawns, this will sprinkle some extra pumpkins around the world. This increases the chance of coming across the Pumpkillager naturally.

Taking the questbook from the Pumpkillager will allow you to start the quest. Use multi-block rituals and conversations to advance. The boss fight will require you to be prepared, grab your best armour and a shield! Possibly some potions. Don't worry, you'll know when the fight will happen.

Most importantly, find yourself immersed and have fun! :)

Configurable: ( how do I configure? )
spumpkillagerSpawnChance (default = 0.1, min 0.001, max 1.0): The chance a Pumpkillager will spawn when a player breaks a pumpkin block.
enablePumpkillagerSpawnDuringCreative (default = false): Whether the Pumpkillager should spawn when pumpkins are broken while the player is in creative mode.
finalBossMaxHealth (default = 300.0, min 1.0 max 10000.0): The amount of health the final boss should have.
experienceAmountRewardFinalBoss (default = 250, min 0 max 10000): How much experience the final boss should drop on death.
chanceForPumpkinBlockToSpawnOnPigSpawn (default = 0.05, min 0 max 1.0): This is a feature to add more pumpkins to the world, to make people come across the Pumpkillager in a more natural way. Whenever a pig spawns, it has a chance to spawn on top of a pumpkin block. This will make them be sprinkled around the world. To turn it off, set the config chance value to 0.

Commands:
/pumpkillager reset <player> - Resets the Pumpkillager progress for the target player.
