FEATURES

• Biomes:

The Dna Forest is an abomination of nature itself, created from the brewings of ancient overworld witches in an attempt to cure the Crimson Forest. their experiments failed, the crimson forest got corrupted and later spread to other parts of the nether. This forest inhabits new creatures, some hostiles, some peaceful, lurking between the trees.......

MOBS

STRAMPLER

The Strampler is a result of the witche's failed experimentations, to make the potion that was supposed to cure the Crimson Forest, they used sniffer DNA, but when it failed, it mixed with the surrounding hoglins, combining the physical aspect of the Sniffer with the Hostile nature of Hoglins....

--BEHAVIOR:

-Hunting: The Strampler is a Hostile Mob, it will charge its preys and kill them, Stramplers hunt Indigo Salamanders, but will also attack the player and any entity that attacks them. Stramplers can also scream randomly to intimidate other stramplers.

--LOOT: Stramplers can drop Strampler Spikes or a single Strampler Heart:

• Strampler Spikes can be used to craft a Strampler Spike Shield and the music disc of the biome
• Strampler Hearts can be used to corrupt a Sniffer Egg

--TAMING: -strampler eggs: Stramplers cannot directly be tamed, however, by right clicking a Sniffer Egg with a Strampler Heart, you can corrupt it, after a while, it will become a Strampler Egg.

A Strampler Egg will Hatch in 20 Minutes if put on an Indigo Wart Block, otherwise it will hatch after 60Minutes.

A Baby Strampler will hatch out of the Strampler Egg, you can make him grow faster by feeding him Raw Indigo Salamander Tail, or just wait.

-Adult Passive Strampler note: Strampler Hatched From Corrupted Eggs are completely passive and do not have Spikes, they Inherited a larger part of Sniffer DNA during corruption.

Once Adult, you can tame the Strampler with Raw Indigo Salamander Tail. you can then put a saddle on it by Shift + right clicking on it to open its UI.

Using a Raw Indigo Salamander Tail on a Stick, and right clicking a Tamed Strampler, you can switch between 3 modes, sit, wander and follow.

Tamed Stramplers can also be equipped with various Strampler Armors, that acts both as a saddle and as protection.

While riding a Tamed Strampler, you have The abillity to jump by pressing space, a jauge in your hotbar will show you when the jump ability can be used again after cooldown.

INDIGO SCYPHOZOA

The Indigo Scyphozoa are fungi from the crimson forest that mutated and evolved into flying jellyfish with glowing properties that surely came from some of the witche's ingredients used in their potion.

--BEHAVIOR: Indigo Scyphozoas are completely passive, even though they evolved from a plant into a living creature, they did not develop a complete brain. they usually float around in the sky of the DNA Forest.

--LOOT Indigo Scyphozoas have a 1/3 chance to drop Glowing Jelly. -Glowing Jelly can either be used to craft a Jelly Baloon or to brew Glowing potions.

INDIGO SALAMANDER

Indigo Salamanders are not a direct result of the witche's failed experiments, they are a life form that developped by itself after some time, although we could argue that they have some DNA in common with axolotls......

--BEHAVIOR Indigo Salamanders are passive creatures, they are easily scared by the player and will run away if you approach them, they will also run away from Stramplers.

-Nests Salamanders can be found in nests made out of nest block and Indigo wart Block, if an Indigo Salamander sits on a nest block, it will go to sleep, while sleeping, Salamanders can be approached easily.

-Transportation Salamanders and Baby Salamanders can both be bucketed by right clicking on them with empty Bucket.

--TAMING

Indigo Salamanders can be tamed by feeding them Indigo Fungus, they can also be bred using the same fungus.

Once Bred, they will lay a random amount of eggs between 1 and 4. Salamander Eggs, can only be harvested with Silk Touch.

A Salamander Egg will take 10 minute to hatch if placed on a nest block, otherwise it will hatch in 30 minute.

--LOOT Indigo Salamander will always drop one Raw Salamander Tail.

Raw Salamander Tails can either be cooked into Cooked Salamander Tails or brewed into Poison Potions.

BLOCKS

The DNA Forest is home to numerous blocks and plants, mainly mutation due to the witche's potions, wich transformed the trees and plants entirely.

--INDIGO WOOD

Indigo Wood is just like any other Nether Wood, but it has a purple-ish color, with unique door and trapdoor design, the only blocks missing from the palette are the sign and hanging sign.

--PLANTS

The DNA Forest is full of plants, they are a mutation of crimson plants, caused by the witche's experimentation on the biome, most of those plants have no effect ingame whatsoever. The only ones with a function are the DNA Vine and Indigo Fungus, The DNA vine is DNA sequence shaped vine you can grow and climb, and the Indigo fungus can be grown into an indigo tree.

--OTHERS

There are some other blocks in the DNA Forest, like the Indigo Shroomlight, Indigo Nylium, or Indigo Nether Wart Block, or the Nest Block.

Indigo Nylium can be bonemealed to grow plants from the DNA Forest, like normal nylium, it can spread by bone mealing Netherrack next to the nylium block, it can only be picked up with a silk touch pickaxe.

Indigo Nether Wart Block and Nest Block can both be used to speed up egg hatching for Stramplers and Salamanders

Nest Blocks are also a Block where Indigo Salamanders can Sleep.
