Call of Yucatán

Call of Yucatan is a mod that adds 2 dungeons appearing in the jungles. These dungeons reference Maya and Aztec mythology and culture. Puzzles, traps, monsters, and gods like Kukulkan await you. The mod features numerous construction blocks, ruthless mystical fauna, and resources that will allow you to craft advanced equipment useful in your survival

The first dungeon you may encounter is the Overgrown Temple. It's a Maya temple made of ruins held together by indestructible vines. In the past, the people offered tributes to Kukulkan in this temple, and used mathematical advancements related to the calculation of celestial bodies like the moon, as well as light-reflecting technology. It's mainly built of Red Limestone and Ancient Gold, to pay tribute to Kukulkan.

The second dungeon is the Deadly Crypt. In this tomb rest Maya soldiers who died in great battles, now haunted by their lost spirits. This monument was built in enemy territory and is therefore filled with traps. According to legend, a jade deposit lies beneath the Maya cemetery of the crypt. It's mainly built of Ritual Stone and Jade, to pay tribute to Ah Puch.

In addition to the dungeons, the mod adds new types of weapons.

• The Macuahuitl is a wooden weapon adorned with obsidian fragments, as sharp as razor blades but still fragile. It can be enhanced with the "Ritual Slaughter", dealing more damages to humanoid creatures (players, villagers, illagers).
• There are also spears, which allow you to attack from a longer range, available in three materials: wood, flint, and obsidian.
• The Tecpatls are very light Aztec daggers that allow you to attack your enemies quickly. They can be enhanced with the "Toxic Blade" enchantment, which poisons enemies, or the "Double Edge" enchantment, which allows you to deal an additional strike after your first attack.
• For compatibility with Better Combat, check out "Yucutan Combat"

In the new structures, you may encounter Undead Maya Warriors, wielding a Macuahuitl or a Spear. The Huracàn, on the other hand, is a mocking wind spirit that possessed leftover bones; it'll launch deadly poison darts at you. Occasionally, you will obtain their masks from monsters, and be able to wear them. These masks provide buffs during your adventures, like the Warrior Mask allowing you to attack more quickly, while the Huracán Mask will make you lighter to gravity. You can sneak to lift your mask, and jump to place it back in place.

In the tombs of the crypt, you can find an idol celebrating Ah Puch.

• Granting him enough Alchemy items during the New Moon will see you granted with his Bless, making you more resistant.
• Breaking the Idol without Ah Puch's Bless will enrage the deity, summoning an angry avatar of the God of Death. He will be difficult to defeat as he creates powerful shockwaves on the ground to propel you and summon undead monkeys from the underground to attack you.
• The avatar's powers vary greatly depending on the title (The Lord of Death, The Emaciated,...) his avatar will be wearing, making one of his moves vary according to it, making each fight different.

In the Overgrown Temple, you may encounter the idol of Kukulkan.

• Granting him enough Gems during the Full Moon will see you granted with his Bless, making you faster.
• Breaking his Idol without his bless will summon his avatar, delivering powerful blows to the ground that will hurl you into the air. The main way to deal significant damage to him is to direct a beam of light onto his golden armor. This can be done with Reflectors, or using an Hematite Shield, a useful item to redirect Solar Beams.

Both creatures, once defeated, will grant a Fragment. This Fragments can serve multiple purpose, but mainly creating the Fist of Doom, allowing to create a powerful Shockwave like Ah Puch, and the Wand of Luminance, allowing to shoot a burning Solar Ray like Kukulkan.

In the process of reaching his altar, you may first encounter leftovers of Mayan technology.

• Solar Projectors will emit a deadly beam of light, also called Solar Ray, that can be redirected on sides by rotating a Reflector.
• Hematite Blocks will redirect light in front of them, allowing you to force light's path to a single direction, or expand your systems by sending light vertically.
• This Solar Beams are the main way used to get rid of Mystical Vine blocks and Overgrown Chests, burned by the ray.

In the Overgrown Temple, you can obtain Mystic Vines by burning with Solar Rays the Mystic Vines blocks in your path. These Mystic Vines can be used to create a stone jaguar capable of running on water (by holding the CTRL key) and carrying 2 players.

• To summon it, you need to meet two conditions: there must be 3 aligned blocks of Ritual Rocks, and it must be raining in the world. They also are used for different tools, like the Vine Hook.

You can also create another creature, the Golden Guard, a stronger version of the Iron Golem. This golem made of Ancient Gold, can only be created if you have the Blessing of Kukulkan.

• During its summoning, the duration of your Blessing will be shortened by a few minutes (10 minutes per Golem created).

The mod also add a new crop with the Chili Pepper. This rare plant can be encountered in Dungeons, but is a rare ressource. Luckily, Sniffers may dig out some Chili Pepper seeds while in Jungle, in addition to their regular prehistorical seed. It can be made into a spicy chocolate brew, the Xocolatl, consumed to honour gods, extending their Blessings in the process.

Thanks to Redwolf and Annubis for their music discs :D
