Meteorite Caller

Quickstart

1. Open the Creative inventory and search for these spawn eggs:
   • Meteorite Caller Spawn Egg
   • Lightning Caller Spawn Egg
   • Snowolager Spawn Egg
   • Confuser Spawn Egg
   • Summoner Spawn Egg
2. Spawn one in an open area. These are hostile mobs, so keep villagers and iron golems away while testing.
3. Defeat a Lightning Caller to obtain a Meteorite Totem, or defeat a Snowolager to obtain an Ice Totem.
4. Hold a totem and use it:
   • The Meteorite Totem calls three explosive meteorites above you.
   • The Ice Totem creates freezing clouds around its nearest target. A player using it will normally target themselves, so use it carefully.
5. For quick testing, use /give @s com_meteorite_caller_cnsfgg4d:meteorite_totem 1 or /give @s com_meteorite_caller_cnsfgg4d:ice_totem 1.

Overview

Meteorite Caller adds five hostile villager-like mobs and two ability items. The mobs appear around village areas and use fireballs, arrows, lightning, ice clouds, teleportation, summoned guards, and falling explosives.

All five mobs have 20 health and can target players, villagers, and iron golems.

What It Adds

The mobs spawn on grass blocks, sand, snow, or podzol. The Meteorite Caller favors low light, while the other four favor brighter conditions.

How To Use

Spawn Eggs

Use the mob spawn eggs from the Creative inventory to place the casters wherever you want. The Snowolager can also be summoned with:

/summon com_meteorite_caller_cnsfgg4d:snowolager

The other casters are intended to be placed with their spawn eggs.

Meteorite Totem

The Meteorite Totem stacks up to 16 and can be obtained from a defeated Lightning Caller.

Use the totem to spawn three TNT meteorites high above your position. They fall and explode after their normal fuse, so move away immediately after activating the totem. The ability has a cooldown of about 5 seconds.

Give yourself one with:

/give @s com_meteorite_caller_cnsfgg4d:meteorite_totem 1

Ice Totem

The Ice Totem does not stack and can be obtained from a defeated Snowolager.

Use it when a valid target is within 24 blocks. It creates five ice clouds around the nearest target, deals 6 damage, and applies Slowness III for 5 seconds. When a player activates the totem, the player is normally the nearest target and will be affected.

Give yourself one with:

/give @s com_meteorite_caller_cnsfgg4d:ice_totem 1

Abilities And Mechanics

Meteorite Caller

The Meteorite Caller is a hostile ranged caster. It:

• Targets players, villagers, and iron golems within 64 blocks.
• Fires fireballs from a distance.
• Switches to melee attacks when enemies get close.
• Is most likely to appear in dark village areas.

Lightning Caller

The Lightning Caller performs a repeating five-attack cycle, with roughly 8 seconds between special casts:

1. Spawns two creepers and strikes them with lightning.
2. Strikes a nearby player and chains lightning through nearby players.
3. Calls five lightning strikes around its nearest player.
4. Creates a ring of eight lightning strikes around itself.
5. Sends three lightning strikes along the path between itself and its nearest player.

Every special cast also strikes and instantly kills nearby players, villagers, and iron golems within 32 blocks. Keep this mob away from settlements and defensive golems.

Snowolager

The Snowolager is a close-range hostile mob that deals 7 melee damage. Its special attack:

• Searches for a nearby player, villager, or iron golem.
• Creates five ice clouds around the target.
• Deals 6 damage.
• Applies Slowness III for 5 seconds.

Its special attack has a long recharge, usually about 70 seconds after casting.

Confuser

The Confuser is an archer that:

• Targets players, villagers, and iron golems from up to 64 blocks away.
• Fires arrows at medium and long range.
• Periodically teleports to a random position 4–9 blocks from a nearby target.
• Uses a portal sound when it teleports.

After its initial delay, the teleport ability recharges in roughly 90 seconds.

Summoner

The Summoner cycles through six abilities, usually casting one every 2 minutes:

1. Vex Swarm — Summons two vexes and makes the nearest target glow.
2. Pillager Guard — Summons a pillager nearby.
3. Vindicator Guard — Summons a vindicator nearby.
4. Meteor Fall — Drops three explosive meteorites above the nearest target.
5. Hex — Deals 8 damage and applies Weakness II and Slowness III.
6. Rally Illagers — Nearby illagers receive Strength II, Resistance, Speed, and Regeneration for a short time.

The Summoner can target players, villagers, and iron golems within 32 blocks. Its summoned guards and nearby illagers can make a fight much more dangerous than the Summoner itself.

Crafting And Obtaining

No crafting recipes are provided for the mod's items.

• Meteorite Totem: Guaranteed drop from a defeated Lightning Caller.
• Ice Totem: Guaranteed drop from a defeated Snowolager.
• Meteorite Caller: Can drop 0–2 gunpowder or 0–2 emeralds. Looting can increase the amount.
• Meteorite Caller: Has a small chance to drop 1–2 obsidian when killed by a player.
• Confuser: Has no special loot.
• Summoner: Has no special loot.

Progression And Strategy

• Start by testing a Snowolager in an isolated arena; its ice clouds are dangerous but predictable.
• Fight Confusers in open terrain so their teleportation does not place them behind walls or inside a base.
• Use ranged weapons against Meteorite Callers and stay outside their fireball range.
• Never allow a Lightning Caller near a village, iron golem, or group of players. Its special casts can eliminate nearby targets instantly.
• Eliminate a Summoner before its ability cycle reaches Meteor Fall or Rally Illagers.
• Use the Meteorite Totem in an open area and retreat as soon as the meteorites appear.
• Do not activate the Ice Totem while standing beside valuable builds or allies unless you are prepared for the area effect.
