    The ability to steal the nightlancers horse before he can get on should be a feature. The idea of jumping on the hay horse and riding away while the nightlancer stares dumbfounded at you is amazing. Maybe he chases after you and tries to kick you off the horse. Maybe he recites a spell that makes the horse explode with you on it. So many ideas

    One thing you could do for an extra visual polish is add a particle trail mimicking how the creaking does so that it looks like the nightlancer is actually adding new straw to the horse, this could also be active while he's unmounted to indicate the horse is under it's control, and disable players being able to ride it while it's linked

    If you retextured the horse to be snow instead of hay, and the actual nightlancer to be a living present that has coal smears all over ints clothes, you could make a christmas version, and tie make it spread snow wherever it goes, and have the pound make a lot of snow and freeze the player, that would be really cool.

    I have a cool idea (maybe)! What if, when a player rides the straw horse, holding the lance and puts on a carved pumpkin, they will become the nightlancer himself? Maybe the player will die and the boss spawns or the player can control the nightlancer? Wouldn't it be a nice easter egg?

    I wish you would make more real mods more often. Idk what there is about them, but you just seem to make them fit very well with vanilla. They don't seem to be too strange to be playing with as if they were part of the base game, and fit the general philosophy and mechanics.
    However, I do have some points to add:
    - I think the weapon it drops is a bit op for PvP, as it doesn't let enemies get close to you. When off a horse, it shouldn't have it's increased range, or have a slower attack speed.
    - Currently, it seems very terrain dependant. You can fix it be either ocnditioning where it spawns (maybe only some specific pumpkins) or making it break blocks.
    - I don't like that it just stands there to receive hits when off the horse. I think it would be much cooler for it to persue and attack you while waiting for the horse ro revive. It would make the combat much more dynamic.
    That's it, I just wanted to throw these ideas out there so I could sleep tonight. Aside from those, it looks like an update I would love to have on vanilla.

  • @SlimeonMC-pi4zr
    @SlimeonMC-pi4zr 5 днів тому +1

    Just to make the beginning of the fight feel less aggressive, I feel like there should be a short delay between the ground pound and charge attacks. Maybe Nightlancer should have to rear up again before charging after a slam.
    Maybe he could regain the ground pound + charge combo after he becomes headless.

  • @eh9618

    You know there's a neat idea for the lance. Make it like the mace but instead of vertical movement, it's horizontal movement. The mace increases damage from your attack by your falling speed, the lance could be the same thing but with your vertical speed, whether it be with a minecart, elytra, etc

    I cannot stress how much I love this mod. It checks off so many boxes for what should come to minecraft:
    Unique item drop in the Lance,
    Incredibly fun combat design,
    A new reason to ride horses and expanding on old gameplay features,
    And another ominous trial esque challenge.
    I definitely think some things should be tweaked:
    The zombie horse should be the steed ridden by the Nightlancer, it would be so perfect for it to finally enter into the game, especially if it can wear horse armor (probably dyed when ridden by a Nightlancer so the color scheme matches up), and if people are worried that if it is a zombie horse how will the core game mechanic of knocking the guy off his horse work, i suggest he just summons a new one after the first one dies,
    The knightlancer spawning via pumpkin is pretty cool but i think that it would be weird to fight the Jack o Lancer in a taiga or spawning him from the shooting targets around pillager outposts. Maybe a larger than normal pumpkin patch can spawn in plains biomes with a yellow pumpkin in it that when sheared summoned the Knightmare (not a white pumpkin though that should be in the Pale Garden),
    Overall though, the boss looks super fun and not too challenging while also being scary AND AWESOME LOOKING (seriously though how did you nail all three of those), incredible animations, and awesome loot, this mod is just so fricking cool
