This mods adds a Halloween event. Ominous gravestones will spawn in random positions across the server (usually in foresty areas) with evil creatures around them. Players that find a gravestone and clear out the mobs guarding it will be able to investigate the gravestone to get a treat... or a trick

This mod is not meant to be removed at the end of Halloween.

There are custom items, titles and achievements that players will keep and if you are using taxidermy mod players will be able to make stuffed corpses out of the new mobs. You can disable new gravestones from spawning in the config when you decide to end the event, or alternatively just keep it running permanently.

Ominous Gravestones

Ominous gravestones will spawn randomly across the server, guarded by evil creatures.

Once a player defeats the guardians and investigates the gravestone they will receive a random reward, or have a trick played on them and the gravestone will disappear.

Possible rewards from investigating gravestones:

  • Witch Hat
  • Witch's wand
  • Magic Broom
  • Skull mask
  • Troll mask
  • Pumpkin shoulder pads
  • Skull shoulder pads
  • Human skull shoulder pads
  • Various valuable items from the game - gems, coins, potions, rare bones and even rarely sorcery items

Investigating 20 gravestones will award a player with "Grave Robber" title.

Once a gravestone is investigated a new one will spawn elsewhere on the map shortly.

Custom Creatures

This mod adds 3 custom creatures - Evil Tree, Pumpkin Monster and Jack O Spider. They use old graphics that are currently unused by the vanilla game.

Their combat stats can be configured in the config file.

Defeating 100 Pumpkin Monsters will award a player with "Pumpkin Smasher" title.

Trick Or Treat journal tier

This mod adds a custom journal tier named "Trick or Treat", completing it will reward the player with Hollow title and a set of Bat Wings

Magic Broom

Magic brooms are magical vehicles that can be received from investigating ominous gravestones.

You can ride a broom by using "Ride" action when it's either in your inventory or on the ground.

Dismounting from a broom will put it back in your inventory.

The broom can be enchanted with Wind of Ages or Blessing of the Dark to increase it's speed.

Magic broom can go over water (though with some speed loss), and traverse higher slopes than normal vehicles and mounts.

As the broom is used it's quality will slowly decrease until it reaches 10 QL at which point it can no longer be used.

Craftable Decorative Items

  • Skull candle - a candle placed on a goblin skull
  • Magic skull candle - same but will burn infinitely
  • Witch's cauldron - empty cauldron with skulls
  • Witch's stew cauldron - cauldron with orange stuff in it
