About this project

What does Army of Shadows add?

🌑 Army of Shadows: The Awakening of Necromancy

Version 1.21.1 - The Master Necromancer Update "Death is not the end—it is your greatest resource."

Army of Shadows is a comprehensive Necromancy expansion for Minecraft. Progression is driven by dark rituals, the enslavement of fallen souls, and the forging of legendary relics from the remains of your enemies.


📜 THE TIERS OF NECROMANCY

Your power is bound to the vessel you carry. To unlock your full potential, you must evolve through four stages of forbidden knowledge:

  • Flesh Book: The basic vessel for Soul Power (BP). Essential for your first summons.

  • White Flesh Book: Reinforced with runic bones for increased spiritual capacity.

  • Void Flesh Book: Infused with dragon organs and void essence to store massive amounts of energy.

  • Black Flesh Grimoire: The ultimate tome. Requires the sacrifice of every boss and the Medallion of Death to be forged.


💀 THE NECROTIC PANTHEON (BOSSES)

The Necromancer's journey is paved with blood and conquest. The mod features 10 unique Bosses, each with dynamic phases and exclusive combat mechanics.

  • Linear Progression: The ascent to power is mandatory. You must defeat one sovereign to obtain the knowledge and materials required to summon the next.

  • Spoils of War: Every defeated Boss grants access to a set of Unique Equipment (Weapons and Armor) and a Special Relic with active or passive powers that redefine your gameplay.


✨ HELPER SPIRITS (BONE GUARDIANS)

Automate your domain with versatile spiritual entities. Your Guardian’s behavior changes based on the tool it holds:

  • ⛏️ The Miner: Excavates 5x5 areas and locates valuable ores.

  • 🪓 The Lumberjack: Automatically fells trees within a 15-block radius.

  • 🧑‍🌾 The Farmer: Harvests, plants, and organizes seeds autonomously.

  • 📦 The Collector: Gathers items from the ground and stores them in designated chests.

  • 🔥 The Ghost Smith: Transport and "smelt" items spiritually without the need for fuel.

  • Evolution: Duplicate and upgrade your spirits using Soul Essences. Their speed and inventory capacity depend on their tier (Diamond, Netherite, or Nether Star).


🔮 RITUALS & DARK SYSTEMS

  • Summoning Sanctuary: To awaken the ancient masters, you must perform specific rituals using structures and sacrifices detailed in your Grimoire.

  • Soul Capture: Defeat living entities to imprison their essence. Manage your army through a dedicated interface to choose who will fight by your side.

  • Legendary Equipment:

    • Sacrificial Dagger: Sacrifice your own servants to generate Soul Sparks.

    • Collector Needle: Extract Blood Essence from living creatures.

    • Bloodscale Armor: Protection that is 30% superior to Netherite.

    • Shadow Clock: A consumable item for immediate return to the world's origin point.
