Christmas/Holiday Update!
I know the last few updates are just holiday specials, but I hope to be back on track next year.
NEW XMAS BIOME
New Plants

New Plants Turkey-pult: A ranged plant that has a chance to spawn tofu turkeys that will automatically be tamed and fight for you.
Sweet Potato: A plant that can be worn as a helmet to provide armor. *Has a chance to provide Haste effect while worn. idk what to do w/ this plant since zombies are already "attracted" to the player...

Butterhead Lettuce: A melee plant that has a chance to apply a Butter effect that stops an enemy from moving.
New Zombies

New Plants (Halloween) Ghost Pepper: A insta-kill explosive plant like cherry bomb, but much weaker. Can also do melee damage with it.

New Zombies (WW)
Cowboy Zombies
Chicken Wrangler: Spawns zombie chickens when defeated or hurt
Pirate Beach Update Part 2
This update adds a new biome to the Pirate Beach dimension. The Big Wave Beach. The last update's biome was just Pirate Seas. So basically this dimension is a combination of Big Wave Beach and Pirate Seas from PvZ 2.
New Plants
Lily Pad: launches a lily pad projectile that spawns a lily pad on water.
Tangle Kelp: A mob plant that can be found in the waters of Big Wave Beach. They will attack any zombie that walks into them.
Bowling Bulbs: A projectile plant that can shoot 3 different projectiles: light blue, dark blue, and orange. These all vary in damage.
Banana Launcher: Same ability as the Coconut Cannon, but different blast radius when hitting a block or entity.

Sea Flora: shoots a bubble projectile. When in water it shoots three water projectiles and does more damage.
New Plant Food Plants

Plant Changes
- Coconut Cannon has a 15 second cool down when used. This cooldown is on banana launcher and cob cannon too.

2 Basic Zombie variants for Big Wave Beach and their conehead and buckethead variants too.
Octo Zombie: Throws an octopus. When it hits a player it takes whatever is in their inventory and spawns an octopus on them.
Neptuna: A miniboss for BWB. She has a trident and can spawn Octo Zombies. Inspired by PvZ heroes!
Deep Sea Garantuar: Boss for the dimension. Similar to other Gargantuars. But it does have a bonus ability to remove all the oxygen from a player when it hits a player and spawns two imps. They are found in Pirate Ships made of Spruce and Dark Oak with black sails.
Snorkel Zombie: Zombie that can be found lurking the oceans. Kind of like drowned
Dolphin Rider Zombie: Can quickly move through the water. When defeated the dolphin rider and the dolphin separate into different entities.

Other Stuff!
Sushi - Food Item Spicy Sushi - Food Item Snorkel Mask - Allows player to breathe underwater Pocket Dolphin - Grants player Dolphin's Grace effect when used. Taco - Really Good Food Item
Tacos can be traded with a new variant of crazy dave villager to get rare easter egg plants. The only way for this villager to be made is when it is near a chili bean plant. Which right now is only obtainable when you defeat a deep sea Gargantuar and it's like a 15% chance.
Easter Egg Plants
Ender Snap Dragon: Snap Dragon but with insane knockback. It has a chance to create an end portal block when hitting a block.
Springtrap Bean: Extremely better version of spring bean in terms of durability and jump distance for the player. Reference to Springtrap from FNAF
Pickle Wick: added to 1.4 update but now can be obtained like other easter egg plants
The Pirate Beach Update Part 1
New Dimension - Pirate Seas / Big Wave Beach *This update is just the Pirate Seas portion
*Also now ported into 1.20.1 Forge!
New Dimension
-
It is generated like a nether dimension. This means it is basically a giant ocean cave. I originally wanted it to be just a giant ocean dimension with a few islands. But of course the post 1.18 generations messed it up. So I compromised and went with this solution.
-
Right now the dimension will have just 1 biome. Which will have sand, stone, ores, and of course a giant underground ocean.
-For the big wave beach update. I will have the BWB be a separate biome but exist in the same dimension since they are both ocean-themed.
New Plants
Kernel-pult: Fires a weak projectile. 20% chance of butter projectile that stops enemies from moving.
Snap Dragon: Short Range fire projectiles. (Like a flamethrower)
Spikeweed: Placeable plant that does damage to anything that walks on it.
Spikerock: Improved version of Spikeweed (Using Plant Food). Does twice the amount of damage as Spikeweed.
Spring Bean: Launches enemies into the air when they are hit by it.
Coconut Cannon: High Damage projectile that creates small explosions. *Should have a 15sec cooldown after used.
Sea Shroom: Puffshroom but native to this dimension. It also can be found as an entity instead of a plant. So it will shoot zombies even as its "plant" form.
New Zombies
Basic Pirate Zombie, Conehead Pirate Zombie, Pirate Imps, and Buckethead Pirate Zombies of course.
Pirate Captain: Has a chance to spawn a zombie parrot when hurt. These parrots will steal anything that is in your main hand. Be careful when fighting them.
Imp Cannon: These cannons will spawn an imp on you when they hit you. *They ended up being smaller than I expected so they are a little goofy lol
Seagull Zombie: A pirate zombie that is carried by a seagull. Essentially just a flying zombie.
New Structures
Basic Pirate Ship: A ship made of dark oak and jungle wood. This ship will contain loot and enemies.
Prisoner Pirate Ship: A ship made of dark oak and regular oak wood. This ship will have Villagers and Sunflowers under its deck. This will be like the Anubis Scales from the Egypt dimension that allows you to do trades. However, sometimes the villagers end up drowning. The ship will also have many imp cannons to fight.
Sea Shroom Cluster: A group of Sea Shrooms can sometimes be found in the oceans.
The Plant Food Update
This update introduces a new system: Plant Food. Plant food can be crafted with various plants to make enhanced versions of those plants.
Currently the two ways to obtain plant food is either finding a plant food-infused zombie or by getting a power lily plant.
For sun plants. When crafted with a plant food it will craft into more sun. Example: Crafting a sunflower + plant food will give you 10 suns rather than the default 1.
For other plants, they just become an entirely new plant that is stronger and/or has a unique trait not seen in the original.
New Plant Food Plants:
Gatling Pea (not a new plant but can now be obtained by a Peashooter or Repeater + Plant Food)
Gloom Shroom: Fume Shroom + Plant Food
- Gloom Shroom fires projectiles around the player. This can be helpful if the player is surrounded by enemies.
Magnifying Grass (PF): The plant food version of Magnifying Grass is a buffed version of Magnifying Grass that also doesn't require sun anymore as ammo.
Soul Fire Peashooter: Fire Peashooter + Plant Food.
- A buffed version of Fire Pea. When it hits a block. It will spawn soul fire.
Berry Shooter: Snow Pea + PF
- Inspired by an Aquafina + Garden Warfare Collab. This is a water-themed peashooter that has a chance to spawn water when it hits a block or mob. It can even spawn water in the Nether and End. It can also spawn sweet berries when hitting something.
Chester Chomper: Chomper + PF
- Inspired by Cheetos + Garden Warfare Collab. Basically a better Chomper w/ a Cheeto reskin. It also can set enemies on fire. And it can shoot a weak cheeto projectile that knocks enemies back a bit.
Poison Potato Mine: Potato Mine + PF
- Brought back the Poison Potato mine. It does the something as a potato mine but can cast a poison debuff.
Caulipower: Hypnoshroom + PF
- Does exactly the same thing as Hypnoshroom. But it can also hypnotize boss zombies like Gargantuars or Cleopatra.
Jugger-Nut: Wall-Nut + PF
- Extra armored walnut that gives the player a resistance buff while equipped.
Chilly Pepper: Jalapeno + PF
- Essentially Jalapeno, but casts a chill effect on enemies if they survive the explosion. It also can create a small row of ice blocks when it hits stuff.
Other New Plants
Starfruit
- Fires 5 projectiles around the player that can also pierce through enemies.
- Gloom Shroom shoots 8 projectiles that don't pierce and fire randomly. Starfruit's projectiles also shoot in specific directions. So they are very similar in function but have different strategies in usage.
Torchwood
- When torchwood is equipped in the Player's mainhand and a peashooter plant is in the offhand. When that peashooter is fired, the torchwood will shoot an extra fireball with the peashooter. This was as close as I was able to get to making torchwood's ability from PvZ. -Peashooter it works with: Peashooter, Repeater, Threepeater, Primal Pea, Gatling Pea.
- It can also be used as a melee weapon that burns enemies. However the melee will use up its durability much quicker than using it as a peashooter support.
Soul Torchwood
- The plant food version of Torchwood. Works with same peashooters as regular torchwood, but also works with Fire Peashooter, Electric Pea, and Soulfire Peashooter.
- With the fire pea, soul fire pea, and electric pea. It fires 2 fire balls instead of just one extra.
Bamboo Spartan
- Melee Plant, but if you right-click it, it will give a brief resistance perk. To emulate the ability of it using its "shield". Right now a creative only plant. Might make an appearance if I do a Roman/Greek world one day.
Pickled Pepper
- An easter egg version of Jalapeno. This was an actual plant only found in a Chinese version of PvZ 1. It can be obtained with a 1% chance drop from a Gargantuar. It can also be crafted with a Jalapeno. However, that recipe is a secret.
- Like Jalapeno it will create a row of fire when it explodes, but just in a different direction.
Pickle Wick
- The plant food version of Pickled Pepper. It is a ranged plant that does decent damage with chances to explode, set on fire, or wither enemies with its projectiles. It also can make the row of fire when its projectiles hit a block.
- This plant was actually an old asset from a game called "Glizzy Gunner" I was working on, that ended up being never finished lol.
- This by far will be the hardest plant to obtain. And is probably the best plant in the mod by far. Good luck obtaining it in Survival.
*Due to the corruption that lost me the original mod. I had to remake the entire mod again. I managed to reimplement about 30 of the plants from the original version of the mod. Including peashooter, sunflower, cherry bomb, chomper, walnut, and more. I added pvz sound effects and better balancing to these plants when re-adding them.
ANCIENT EGYPT UPDATE Despite the setback, I still managed to flesh out the rest of the Ancient Egypt dimension. The portal to this dimension is made of chiseled sandstone. And activated with a world key that the regular Gargantuar will drop when defeated.
NEW FEATURES:
Ra Zombie - A mummy with a ranged attack. When the player gets hit by this enemy. A sun in their inventory will be taken.
Anubis/Tomb Raiser Zombie - A mummy that throws bones. If these bones hit the player. A grave will spawn nearby and spawn a mummy.
Explorer Zombie - Zombie that wields a torch. They will set you on fire if they hit you.
Sarcophagus Zombie - Mummy in a Sarcophagus. They are tanky with a lot of health. They also can weaken you when they hit you.
Cleopatra Zombie - Inspired by a scrapped PvZ 2 boss concept. This miniboss has 2 abilities. She can summon ra zombies to assist her. Or have a chance to heal herself when damaged. She will drop the Cat tail plant.
Mummy Cats - Neutral mob. Basically just a mummified cat.
Egyptian Gargantuar - Similar to the basic Gargantuar but wields a Sarcophagus. When the next world is added. I will give this Gargantuar the ability to drop the key to that world when defeated. My plan being that Gargantuars will be the boss of each world and the way to unlock the next one.
REWORKS:
Jalapeno now spawns a 5 block row of fire when it explodes on a block.
Iceberg Lettuce and Snow Pea now have an "extinguish" perk. This removes fire if the player is set on fire. A counter to the explorer zombie's ability.
Guacadile has been rebalanced. It's melee damage is very high and able to one-shot most basic zombies. But you can only use it twice. However you can use it's ranged ability pretty much infinitely, but it has poor damage and range. Guacadile's projectiles also get a buff if you fire it while underwater. This is a mechanic that will probably be used for many of the aquatic plants when I make the pirate seas/big wave beach world.
New sound effects! Many plants now have their iconic pvz sound effects when used.
THIS UPDATE was meant to be 1.3 where I finish the ancient Egypt dimension. But my lovely computer decided to crash while I was developing this update and corrupted a part of the mod making me unable to do further testing in the mod. In order to proceed in the future for this mod, I genuinely have to completely rebuild it from scratch. So by the next update the entire mod will have to be remade. I at least have all the textures and models, but reimplementing all the features is going to be a nightmare. This update just includes the features I was able to implement before the crash. So at least you can check that out.
Adds Bloomerang, Bamboo Spartan, and a new easter egg plant: Pickle Wick!
Bloomerang has piercing damage so it can hit multiple enemies at once.
Pickle Wick is John Wick + Pickle Rick reference. It does a bunch of damage and has a chance for explosion, fire, or wither damage.
Bamboo Spartan does melee and was supposed to have a shield-like ability, but I couldn't finish this feature as the computer crash happened during the development of that feature.
Aloe and Bonk Choy - durability nerf
Guacadile - Fire rate nerf
Gargantuar - HP nerf to 300 *may be a bug where a bunch of Gargantuars spawn when you make a new world?
v1.2 is an update that introduces a new dimension. This is my first time using custom structures and dimensions for a mod, so there is some rough patches with it.
ANCIENT EGYPT Dimension
-
A dimension that is essentially an infinite desert biome. Mostly just sand, sandstone, and dead bushes.
-
Mummy, Cone Mummies, Bucket Mummies, and Imps spawn naturally in this dimension.
-
Twin Sunflowers, Iceberg Lettuces, and now Repeaters have their plant forms spawn naturally in this dimension.
-
Vanilla Structures: Desert Pyramid, Well
-
Custom Structures: Mini Pyramid (small sandstone pyramid with a gold cap. Barrel w/ loot inside), and Zombie Sphinx (contains 2 chests and hidden barrel of various loot)
That is about it so far for the Ancient Egypt dimension. I plan on adding many new features to polish up this dimension in the next update. I plan on adding Ra Mummies, Sarchofagus Mummies, Mummy Cats, and a Mummy Gargantuar as the boss of the world.
Other Features
-
Gargantuar HP nerfed to 400 from 500
-
Gargantuar drops have been altered to now include a world key that can be used to make the portal. (portal is like a nether portal but with chiseled sandstone and the world key to activate it)
-
Chill Effect particles decreased
-
Custom Zombies have updated AI to target Villagers and Golems as well.
-
Slight buff to Chai Tail plant
v1.1 adds the repeater and scaredy-shroom. Gargantuars no longer spawn naturally and can be built with two rotten flesh blocks and a pumpkin (like a snow golem). The chill effect works much better and even gives the player's screen the freeze display. And some other minor fixes and tweaks were done as well.
