Version 1.21.1 - The Master Necromancer Update "Death is not the end—it is your greatest resource."
Army of Shadows is a comprehensive Necromancy expansion for Minecraft. Progression is driven by dark rituals, the enslavement of fallen souls, and the forging of legendary relics from the remains of your enemies.
Your power is bound to the vessel you carry. To unlock your full potential, you must evolve through four stages of forbidden knowledge:
Flesh Book: The basic vessel for Soul Power (BP). Essential for your first summons.
White Flesh Book: Reinforced with runic bones for increased spiritual capacity.
Void Flesh Book: Infused with dragon organs and void essence to store massive amounts of energy.
Black Flesh Grimoire: The ultimate tome. Requires the sacrifice of every boss and the Medallion of Death to be forged.
The Necromancer's journey is paved with blood and conquest. The mod features 10 unique Bosses, each with dynamic phases and exclusive combat mechanics.
Linear Progression: The ascent to power is mandatory. You must defeat one sovereign to obtain the knowledge and materials required to summon the next.
Spoils of War: Every defeated Boss grants access to a set of Unique Equipment (Weapons and Armor) and a Special Relic with active or passive powers that redefine your gameplay.
Automate your domain with versatile spiritual entities. Your Guardian’s behavior changes based on the tool it holds:
⛏️ The Miner: Excavates 5x5 areas and locates valuable ores.
🪓 The Lumberjack: Automatically fells trees within a 15-block radius.
🧑🌾 The Farmer: Harvests, plants, and organizes seeds autonomously.
📦 The Collector: Gathers items from the ground and stores them in designated chests.
🔥 The Ghost Smith: Transport and "smelt" items spiritually without the need for fuel.
Evolution: Duplicate and upgrade your spirits using Soul Essences. Their speed and inventory capacity depend on their tier (Diamond, Netherite, or Nether Star).
Summoning Sanctuary: To awaken the ancient masters, you must perform specific rituals using structures and sacrifices detailed in your Grimoire.
Soul Capture: Defeat living entities to imprison their essence. Manage your army through a dedicated interface to choose who will fight by your side.
Legendary Equipment:
Sacrificial Dagger: Sacrifice your own servants to generate Soul Sparks.
Collector Needle: Extract Blood Essence from living creatures.
Bloodscale Armor: Protection that is 30% superior to Netherite.
Shadow Clock: A consumable item for immediate return to the world's origin point.
