Who truly find Lycanites mobs fun ?


I’ve been playing with mods for years and Lycanites has always struck me as one of those ‘random stuff’ mods; I know it’s improved over the years, but things like the clunky mechanics, ridiculous complexity and awful models…

Does anyone actually find this mod fun?

When RLCraft was at its peak, I played it and removed Lycanites; without this mod and its weird shenanigans, the modpack improves massively – it’s more consistent, fewer odd things happen, and best of all, everything looks relatively natural without models that look like they’ve been ripped from a pirated version of Quake.

I tried to give it a chance and the benefit of the doubt, but even just playing it to explore the mod, there were odd things. One thing I remember most: why on earth do flying demons appear from ARTIFICIAL lava? If it were natural lava, fine, but lava that I put there myself?! No….

Some creatures are ridiculously strong and have mechanics that can kill you in one hit without warning or appear out of nowhere without reason .

I don't like this mod even a bit , good thing its contained on old version .

    inreally like them and the way they make the game harder by not just being annoying and pointless

    I always find it funny how the mob models hideously clash with the game’s style. Anyways, some people just like chaotic mods that keep players on their toes, and the summoning stuff is kinda neat.

    I liked them😢 those wierd shield spinny guys were pretty good as a companion/pet with the wand that let you summon them

    I havent actually played with it but didnt it have a mechanic where you can learn about creatures and then summon them yourself? Honestly sounds really cool and i can see why you would wanna play with that but yeah, the designs and their spawn behavior and the balance isnt really something i would want in my game most of the time

    When you first time see it you go “Wow, a lot of unique monsters” but then you dig deeper in media and find out what most of the roaster are eigher from Doom, internet media or Oddworld, while most of the tools are just unbreakable multitools or very same magic projectile staffs with only few variations.

    every time i try to play or watch someone play and explain it its always “i need to kill a ghormashart the unmaker to get my hands on etheriasmic plasballs so i can make non-descript goo thats used to to turn water into diorite” like actually demented mod

    I think it can be fun with the right setup that makes the player really op. Like I’d enjoy it in 1.7.10 if I had a proper tinkers crossbow to use.

    I’m just reminded of a buddy that desperately wanted me to play rl craft. It was fucking miserable. None of it was fun. And this mod certainly contributed.

    Torture can be funny streamer/youtuber contend or with friends, but I just don’t find if enjoyable solo. Also cubified texture pack helps a lot.

    I loved it in a tweaked RLCraft with Tough as Nails disabled and some QOL mods added on top. The enemies are as OP as the gear their drops let you make, it balances out around the midgame

    The art style also really grew on me after a while. Though, I’m a big fan of Doom, Oddworld and adding random shit and strange creatures to my games anyways.

    Especially when these kindsa mods come with a Pokedex to obsess over completing

    It has a config file, if you think the mod is bad that’s because it defaults to having everything on to show off its mechanics and most pack devs are too lazy to change it. Go through the configs and it is an amazing mod that has a lot of flexibility in how it can be used in packs

    Behind “awful models” , there was a mod that could be very near to mods like pixelmon/cobblemon due it can allow to summon minions with a levelling system , entities that can combine to create new entities , a “way to flight” like happy ghast , events and more

    I only play custom modpacks and played one that had Lycanites Mobs once and it was super fun for me. I configured it to turn off all the crazy shit and basically just make the mobs feel like mobs instead of something that is designed to annoy you. I thought the bosses were fun, using weapons from other mods that were balanced with Lycanites Mobs was immensely entertaining (in this case, I used ExtraBotany and Dungeons mod). I liked the weapon system too. And the designs were kinda insane and jarring but also in like a funny way. But I did eventually download texture pack that makes them more minecraft like.

    Overall, I liked it but I configured a lot of stuff and it has elements that I bet a lot of people will hate
