Features:

Sandworms!

  •  Experience the terror of massive sandworms emerging from the desert sands. Sprinting or rhythmic jumping in the desert will attract these formidable creatures, bringing the Dune universe's essence to your Minecraft adventures and mandating cautious traversal within the desert sands.
    • Once a sandworm is on your tail, the only way to escape its relentless pursuit is to leave the desert. Plan your movements carefully and stay alert to avoid becoming a sandworm snacks

The Thumper:

  • Crafted with a piston above a redstone repeater, thumpers can be placed in the desert to quickly call a sandworm to your position. The sandworm will first destroy the thumper, before shifting its attention to you!

 

Challenging the worm:

  • Combat and Rewards: Brave players can take on the sandworm by targeting its head with explosives. But be careful and keep your distance, lest you be swallowed whole!
    • Successfully drive it away to earn a valuable reward: the coveted sandworm tooth

The Sandworm Tooth:

  • Unleash the ancient power of the desert with the Sandworm Tooth! This rare and potent ingredient, harvested from the mighty Shai-Hulud itself, revolutionizes your brewing capabilities. Just like glowstone dust, the sandworm tooth amplifies your potions, but with a unique twist—it’s compatible with potions already enhanced by either redstone or glowstone.
    • Use the sandworm tooth to craft long-lasting Level 2 potions, perfect for enduring challenges, or brew short but immensely powerful Level 3 potions to gain the upper hand in critical moments. Whether you're preparing for an epic battle or a daunting exploration, the sandworm tooth is your key to unmatched alchemical mastery. Embrace the power of the sands and transform your brewing with this legendary ingredient!
    • Harnessing the power of the sandworm tooth adds a thrilling incentive to face the formidable Shai-Hulud, rewarding brave adventurers with unparalleled brewing enhancements.

 

 

Planned features:

  • Worm Riding
  • Feel free to make suggestions in the comments!

 

Prepare yourself for an adventure in the deserts of Minecraft with Desert Behemoths: Sandworms! Will you survive the onslaught of these giant creatures, or will you succumb to the sands?
