Infested: Swarms and Spiders

Infested 2.4.0

--- Config Options

• Added an option to allow tamed mobs from this mod to be fed meat to heal them, like wolves. This defaults to false.
• Added an option to set the default max health of tamed spiders summoned by Spider Eggs. Defaults to 15.

--- Spider Alchemy

• Brew spider eggs with certain ingredients to convert them into Elemental Spider Eggs. These eggs can be thrown as projectiles to spawn a minion at the location they land, or they can be crouch-used to spawn them at a block position. There are three different types that you can brew up.

• Jumping Spiders: The default type, will seek out monsters and protect you. Upon attacking, they will detonate in an elemental explosion.
• Damaged Spiders: A spider that has been rendered immobile and highly volatile by brewing with Glowstone Dust. Upon being damaged or an unfriendly entity straying too close to it, it will detonate. Essentially a living landmine or grenade.
• Cloaked Spiders: A spider that has been made more powerful by brewing with Redstone. Does not detonate, but has more health and deals more damage. Each of its attacks will inflict its elemental effect. There are five different elemental types.
• Fire: Ignites targets.
• Ice: Freezes targets, slowing them and dealing damage over time.
• Lightning: Stuns enemies briefly, slowing them to a halt.
• Blast: Deals more damage upon exploding, knocks targets away. Has no cloaked variant.
• Psychic: Causes targets to forget their current attack target, and attack a random nearby entity (which cannot include you or any of your allies.) Has no cloaked variant.

• Each piece of the Spider Armor set you wear adds a stacking 20% chance to spawn an additional elemental spider.
• Interact with an elemental spider to cause it to return to you as its egg item. If the spider was an additonal spider spawned from you wearing the Spider set, it will not return an egg, but can still be dismissed this way.

--- Tamed Spider

• The tamed spider now has 7 more skins to choose from. By giving it an Elemental Spider egg, you can give it a matching skin. Name one 'Marshall' to give it the default minecraft spider skin. Name one 'Kumonga' to give it a skin based on the Kaiju of the same name from the Godzilla series.
• Spider Armor: A new item craftable with bones, cobwebs, and string. Functions similarly to wolf armor for your tamed spiders, effectively giving the tamed spider an extra 20 health. Use bones on an armored spider that has had its armor damaged to restore some durability to the armor. Like wolf armor, it can be unequipped with shears, but doing so does not return the item to you. As a tradeoff, you can carry an entire stack of them, meaning you can reapply spider armor on the fly. Definitely not me being too lazy to implement a durability system to the Spider Armor.

--- New Items

• 13 new items have been added for the Elemental Spiders.
• Spider Egg Sac - A throwable item craftable with a Spider Egg and String. Throw at a block or an entity to summon some tamed Spider Minions that will protect you for a short time.
• Cobweb Bomb - A throwable item craftable with a Cobweb Trap and String. Throw at a block or entity to cover nearby ground with temporary Cobweb Traps.
