Spore:SRP!

Situation: Enemies are weak; Proto has not yet appeared. The player can effectively suppress evolution through active hunting.

Goal: Remain below Phase 2 until you have secured sufficient diamonds and crafted your first Frost Aspect weapon.

Situation: Mounds begin to spawn and generate points automatically. The player must balance killing (which reduces points) against leaving enemies alive (which allows them to add points by killing other mobs).

Goal: Advance slowly; complete all infrastructure (enchanting, brewing, underground farms) before Phase 5. Once Phase 6 arrives, the game changes permanently.

Situation: Eternal night falls, Proto becomes active, and the Full Hivemind may emerge. Passive point generation (Proto +1500 every 60 seconds) now dwarfs any deduction from player kills. The player cannot meaningfully reduce total points; the only viable approach is to minimise future point sources while accepting inevitable progression.

Goal: Reach Phase 10 – the sole condition to initiate the Purification Battle. At this point, stop all point‑reducing actions; let Proto and Mounds push the phase forward naturally. Enemies at Phase 10 are at maximum strength, so ensure you have the best available equipment.

When Phase 10 is reached and you place the Beacon on the altar, the battle commences. This is the definitive confrontation – win or lose, the point system resets.

Pre‑Battle Preparations

• Confirm that all nearby Mounds are destroyed; they would otherwise generate points and summon reinforcements during the fight.
• Equip Frost Aspect V weapons – without Frostbite, the Adaptation system will render Bosses nearly immune to your attacks.
• Minimum of two players is strongly recommended; solo defence of the 20‑block radius is extremely difficult.
• Stock ample instant health potions, golden apples, and fire resistance.

Battle Phases

Outcome and Point Reset

• Victory: The world is purified. All fungal entities vanish. Evolution phase locks at 0, and infection points reset to 0. The advancement "Futile Effort" is granted.
• Defeat: The infection persists. Points remain unchanged. All altar materials are lost and must be recollected.

Final Principle: In the early game, you can influence the point flow; in the late game, you cannot. The path to victory lies not in futile attempts to reduce points, but in efficient preparation for the Purification Battle, the only event that resets the system.

Accumulate "evolution points" by killing/converting entities to advance through phases; all mob attributes scale accordingly.

Higher phases make mobs tougher, but also reward more points and challenge. The cooldown prevents rapid phase skipping.

Lists of entities that can be randomly selected for each rank:

• small – Infected humans, husks, drowned, villagers, witches, pillagers, players, hazmat, vindicators, evokers, etc.
• medium – Knights, griefer, braiomil, busser, thorn, jagd, scavenger, bloater, naiad, leaper, slasher, spitter, volatile, mephitic, gorgon, howler, stalker, brute, nuclea, protector, gargoyle, conductor, chemist, inebriater, saugling, vanguard, reaper, mound, umarmed, usurper, vigil, braurei, verva, delusioner, reconstructor, hivetumor.
• large – Inquisitor, brot, grober, wendigo, ogre, hvindicator, hevoker, proto.
• boss – Sieger, howitzer, stahl, hohlfresser, gazenbreacher, kraken, leviathan, hindenburg, verfall.
• organoids – Special entities (Mound, umarmed, usurper, vigil, braurei, verva, delusioner, reconstructor, proto, hivetumor) excluded from certain conversion mechanics.

Converts low‑health vanilla/other mobs into spore creatures.

Mobs gradually gain damage reduction against the damage type they receive.

Mobs have a chance to call reinforcements when killed or injured.

Spore mobs actively convert nearby blocks into infected variants.

Mounds are naturally spawned, upgradable structures that serve as spore outposts.

Proto and Mound entities expand infected biomes.

Point gains and penalties – include phase‑based multipliers and 60‑second intervals for periodic rewards:

Phase Point Multipliers:
phasePointMultipliers = [0.2, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, 2.0]
These multiply all periodic and kill/convert points based on the current phase – higher phases yield more points.

Mounds automatically summon reinforcements based on their level (1–4).

• levelUpIntervalTicks – Upgrade interval (6000 ticks = 5 minutes)
• scanIntervalTicks – Scan interval for checking conditions (40 ticks) – even if cooldown is over, the mound won't scan every tick.
• supportConfigs – Format per level:
  level:range:minSmall:maxSmall:minMedium:maxMedium:cooldownSeconds:spawnScent(0/1)
  Examples:
  • Level 1: range 15, no small/medium, cooldown 250s, spawns Scent
  • Level 2: range 20, 1–2 small, cooldown 15s, no Scent
  • Level 3: range 30, 1–3 small + 1 medium, cooldown 15s
  • Level 4: range 40, 2–3 medium, cooldown 15s

Proto entities actively mark and maintain a set number of Mounds.

Proto possesses five active skills, with a dynamic behaviour switch based on the number of nearby large‑pool mobs.

The threshold (largePoolThreshold) determines whether Proto uses Verva‑focused skills or switches to Delusioners – now set to 7.

When Proto is killed, it can trigger a powerful counter‑attack, reviving itself and rallying nearby allies.

Mechanics:

• Upon death, Proto checks for nearby LargePool and Boss entities within checkRadius.
• If the count is at least largePoolThreshold, Proto revives with healthPercent of its max health.
• Nearby fungal allies are recalled (speed boosted) and non‑fungal enemies are pushed away.
• Proto gains a short duration of high‑level Resistance.

A rare transformation of the Gastgaber entity into a Builder, which collects points and constructs structures.

How it works:

• When a Gastgaber spawns, it has a spawnChance to become a Builder.
• Builders wander and absorb nearby mobs (Small/Medium/Large) to accumulate points.
• Once maxPoints is reached, they build a random structure from the list, consuming all points and entering cooldown.
• They periodically call nearby fungal allies to assist them.

When enough Proto entities exist and the evolution phase is high, a Full Hivemind can emerge – a superior, unified consciousness commanding the swarm.

Mechanics:

• When the number of Proto entities reaches minProtoCount and the current phase is at least minPhase, one Proto will transform into a Full Hivemind.
• The Full Hivemind has enhanced health (×1.5) and bonus armour.
• It possesses its own set of skills (see next section), distinct from regular Proto skills.

AI Behavior:
Upon spawning, the Full Hivemind generates four tower structures on the surface, one in each cardinal direction (north, south, east, and west). Inside each tower resides a mound named Watcher. As long as any Watcher exists in the world, the Full Hivemind is completely invulnerable to all damage.
Once active, the Full Hivemind begins its core excavation routine:

• Mines a 5×5 area directly beneath itself every 3 seconds, continuing until it reaches Y = -10.
• At that depth, it switches to hollowing out a sphere with a radius of 50 blocks.
• After the sphere is fully excavated, it constructs a three‑layer dome with thicknesses of 1, 2, and 3 (from innermost outward).
  In addition, the Full Hivemind possesses significantly stronger stats and a much longer targeting range than the regular Proto, making it a formidable late‑game threat.

The Full Hivemind uses a similar but upgraded set of five skills, with adjusted cooldowns and ranges.

All skill parameters are configurable under [full_hivemind_skills].

The Full Hivemind periodically generates assault points based on player activity and time, triggering a wave‑style attack when enough is accumulated.

Mechanics:

• Assault value increases passively over time and when players kill fungal mobs.
• When the accumulated value reaches a threshold, a Full Hivemind Assault triggers near a distant player.
• During the assault, waves of enemies spawn; it ends after maxDuration or when all enemies are defeated.
• After completion, a cooldown period begins.
