Welcome to Hodge-Podge III!
This mod has no theme, however its goal is to improve Minecraft gameplay by adding tons of different adventures, mobs and side-quests as well as providing a lot of new decorative blocks to have more options when building.
Unlike RaolCraft, which is an extremely lategame mod (while there are a lot of things in earlygame, you can't go to any of its dimensions before beating the Enderdragon), this mod will actually focus more on midgame, so you can explore the new features since the first days of your wold :)
This is the remake of Eonaut's original mod.
See Hodge-Podge III on curseforge!
Walking Geysers, Werewolves, Wither Bone Meal, Wither Blade and many more new features are waiting for you!
I know every feature I listed here starts with a W, but I only realized it after writing the list XD
To get started with this mod, you should find the Golden Temple, an uncommon structure that spawns in the surface of the Overworld (it won't be too hard to spot it). There you can get the igniter for the first dimension, the DarkWorld.
Yes, I know it generated in a weird way, but that was not meant to happen. It should have been mostly buried underground actually...
You can now go to the DarkWorld:
Here you can find a tower where an NPC lives, the Collector:
He likes to collect rarities, and if you give him some, he will reward you with some special items! He also gives you advices on where to find the items he wants!
Here are the other dimensions you can find in the mod right now:
The Wonderland
The Wastes
For a full guide of the mod, go here: https://mcreator.net/forum/54502/hodge-podge-getting-started-guide
Some of the blocks in this mod have connected textures! To use them, you have to download this mod: (https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/ctm). If you don't download this mod, Hodge-Podge III will still work, but you won't be able to see the connected textures.
This mod also has some special compatibility with RaolCraft Omega! If you also play it, the Collector will reveal a treasure hidden somwhere in RaolCraft (which can't be found until the Collector tells you where is it).
This mod also supports Ore Dictionary, meaning that you can make an addon for this mod or a crossover feature! There are too many ore dictionary entries to be written here, so you'll have to see them ingame using a mod like this.
At the moment this mod is in early alpha, but many updates are coming soon!
The latest patch finally fixed all the bugs of the Collector! Yay!
Right now the priority for this mod is to port most of the original progression. When all the original dimensions and bosses will be added, I will start adding many new sidequest adventures, just like I said at the beginning of this description. This is far from complete, though, because there are just a few dimensions now and they feel pretty empty :/

+Walking Geyser
It spawns in the geyser lands (in the Wastes dimension). It is a walking geyser. Not much to explain here, just beware of it.

+Granite, Diorite and Andesite pillars
They're decorative blocks.
+Silver Apple
Provides no food points, but completely heals and clears all the status effects.
+Horizontal Glass Pane
It's a weird decorative block. The original idea was to add a block that can be used as a roof for things made with glass panes, then it ended up being a bit weird... You can still use it as a carpet if you want. An uncomfortable glass carpet.

+Obsidian Bottle
Made with obsidian. Obviously.
+Lava in a Bottle
No, you can't fill the obsidian bottles in the world, you have to craft them with a bucket of lava. :( (Don't worry, you will get the bucket back)
+Potion of Lava Traversing
It's like frostwalker but it's a potion, is for lava and... well, sometimes it's a bit buggy so be careful.
Brew a Wither Bone in a Dark Brewing Stand and you will get it.
+Fully implemented the Werewolf
It's a friendly villager during the day and a deadly wolf during the night. The villager drops no experience.
+Tumtum, Tulgey and Murkwood Bookshelves
Like vanilla ones, their power can be drawn by an enchanting table.
I haven't added vanilla variants for bookshelves because there already are many mods for this.
+WIP Block of Voltslime

1.7 - Collector's Update - 08/08/2019
This update adds a very useful NPC, the Collector, many new structures and cross compatibility with RaolCraft Omega!
+Collector's Tower
A tower in the DarkWorld where the Collector can be found
+Collector
A Dark Elf who prefers to collect ancient rarities rather than to fight. Give him precious (and useless) treasures and he will give you some rewards.
You can't give him the same item more than once. The reward is not based on the item you give him but on how many items you gave him before. This information is stored per player and not per Collector, this means that if you have a duplicate treasure you can't give it to a Collector (but another player in the same world can, if he hasn't already).
He will also sometimes give you hints on where to find a rarity.
+Dark Fortress
Found in the DarkWorld
+Dark Tome
Can be given to the Collector, found in the Dark Fortress

1.8 - The Halloween Update - 10/31/2019
+Tainted Knight
A flying boss that can be summoned by cutting down a cursed tree in the Murkwoods (Wonderland). Attacks from the distance and has many abilities that match well with his flying behaviour. While he is alive, Azure Haunters will spawn instead of Green Hunters.
+Azure Haunter
A mob that only spawns in the Murkwoods while the Tainted Knight is alive. Attacks from the distance, has 1 point of life but is immune to everything but melee attacks.
+Voodoo Pendent
A rarity dropped by the Tainted Knight
+Kobold
A neutral mob that spawns in caves. Lights up the area with the candle on its head. Drops a candle and leather.

+Some kind of Glowing Obsidian stalagmites in the DarkWorld
+A few wip things
~Balanced mob generation in the DarkWorld
~Slightly reduced the Smoldering Knight's attack
~Tweaked a few other stuff

1.8.1 - Bugfixing Update #3 - 11/04/2019
+Trader Dark Elf
A friendly NPC who can be found in his hut in the DarkWorld. Turns an Enderpearl into 3 Occult Pearl at the cost of one XP level. Also unlocks an advancement.
~Renamed generic Dark Elves to Hostile Dark Elves and renamed Pearls of the Dark Elf (and related stuff) into Occult Pearls
! Fixed all the bugs of the Collector: now he does no longer forget of you!
! You were able to craft Candle Helmets, which are still WIP and bugged and not supposed to be obtainable
I think I will release another update soon. I found some bugs and I want to do some changes.
Also, the boss has no actual reward at the moment.
The reward I will add will be an item (I think I will call it Fire Pendant, but the name will change) that when used (it has infinite uses) will extinguish the fire on the player.
You might be saying this item is too simple and it is overshadowed by RaolCraft's Fire Totem. Yes, I hadn't better ideas, but the Fire Pendant can be actually very useful in the Nether. It's better to right-click an item in the hotbar rather than place a cauldron and fill it with water. Also, the Fire Pendant is a lot more common than the Fire Totem: the pendant is mid-game, the totem is extremely end-game.
I hope you will like the next updates :)
