About this project
What does Necromancy's Necromancer add?
Important: There are 54,672,384 combos as of 1.20.1 and more coming as I update this, please report visual issues like parts not aligning in the indicated discord channel. I can't possibly test them all but will fix what you guys find in batches.
Also Important: I'm not adding anything to older versions, just bug fixes. if you want new features they will only be in new versions unless otherwise stated by me
Most Important: I need to shout out sirolf2009 for originally making this mod and atomicstrykergrumpy for maintaining it for sirolf and then giving me permission to take over. This was my first mod back when you had to open the jar file yourself and it was an honor to update it.

Necromancy lets you build your own undead minions from the parts of mobs. Collect organs and body parts, sew them together on the Sewing Machine’s 4x4 grid, lay them out on a Summoning Altar, and bring the result to life with a Jar of Blood and a Soul in a Jar. A minion takes a head, a torso, two arms and legs from 39 different mobs, so there are tens of millions of possible combinations. Each part adds to the minion’s health, speed and damage, and it can be commanded, set aggressive or passive, saddled and ridden.
The mod also adds a few creatures of its own: the Animated Teddy, the Night Crawler and Isaac, who splits apart when he dies. There are scythes that capture souls, a blood fluid, a chalice of blood over Nether lava lakes, and a village cemetery with a necromancer villager who trades in body parts. This is a Forge port to Minecraft 1.20.1 of the original mod by sirolf2009, later maintained by atomicstrykergrumpy and ported by VoidlessMedia.
This video is ancent but it's what got me into modding and eventually mod development and for the basics it's still accurate until I make an updated video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP7H7wmjI6M&t=304s&pp=ygURbmVjcm9tYW5jeSB0aHhjeWHSBwkJKwwBhyohjO8%3D
The build inspo for the mod icon came from Kash_Muney I've never been a builder and they were nice enough to let me use it
