Arda's Sculks 1.5 (LIGHT)
NeoForge · Minecraft 1.21.1
✨ New Features
Boss Heads
- Added boss trophy heads: Sculk Golem Head, Radioactive Warden Head, Nyxar Head and Nyxar Head (Phase 2).
- Heads can be placed on the ground or on walls, and can be worn in the helmet slot.
- Bosses now drop their own head when defeated.
- The two Nyxar heads can be converted into each other with a shapeless crafting recipe.
Custom Boss Bars
- Added custom boss health bars for the Sculk Golem, the Radioactive Warden and Nyxar.
- Nyxar's bar changes its look when it enters Phase 2.
Shadow Hunter is now Nyxar
- The Shadow Hunter boss has been renamed to Nyxar (entity, spawn egg and spawner).
- New Phase 2 skin with glowing, blinking eyes.
- New visual effects: afterimages, shattering effect, transition ring between phases, and screen shake on kicks and while running.
- Improved clone mechanics: clones now have their own ring effect, chase behavior and retreat behavior.
- Smoother visual transition between the two phases.
- Nyxar has been massively empowered: it is no longer affected by gravity and can sprint at high speed across walls, floors and any surface.
- Nyxar speeds up the farther away its target is, and returns to normal speed as it gets close.
- Nyxar can run across the surface of water, and dives in and swims when its target is in the water.
- In Phase 2, Nyxar gains bonus attack damage and bonus movement speed.
- Nyxar can raise a shield (with its own animation) that applies Slowness, Resistance and Regeneration effects.
Loot
- Nyxar now has a 25% chance to drop a Sculk Ingot, and always drops its head.
- Radioactive Warden always drops its head.
🎨 Visuals & Quality
- Visual and quality issues have been fixed and polished across the mod.

🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed the Radioactive Warden's sonic boom effect not working.

⚡ Optimization
- File size reduced from about 13 MB to about 3 MB.
- Boss systems, furnace systems and other complex, algorithm-heavy code have been rewritten and optimized to the maximum for better performance.
- Sculk Sensors (including Soul and Radioactive variants) are now heavily optimized.
- Sculk Golem, Spawners, Deepslate Dispenser and Advanced Furnace have been optimized.
⚠️ Version Support
- Minecraft 1.20.1 is no longer supported. Arda's Sculks 1.5 is available for NeoForge 1.21.1 only.
🔧 Changes & Cleanup (LIGHT edition)
- Removed the experimental Arda's Sculks Book and all of its menus.
- Removed the "may cause lag" warnings from spawner and sensor tooltips.
- Removed around 130 unused textures and leftover legacy files for a lighter, cleaner mod.
- Slightly adjusted the Agile Slime model.
- Updated translations (all language files).
