About this project
What does The Ink Arena add?



This mod is NOT recommended on large public servers due to the way the
Ink Arena event works, this is because only one event can be active at a time.
It's perfectly fine for servers with friends though!

This mod adds two new structures with several items and mobs.
There are eight new enemies, one of which is a boss. Here are a couple of them:
Splotch
- a basic enemy that does minimal damage.

Morphink
- shoots dangerous projectiles; kill it before it transforms into a stronger enemy.
