The AdventureZ mod brings many new mobs and some bosses, and a rideable dragon to modded Minecraft. There’s a progression through three bosses, the Blackstone Golem, The Eye, and the Void Shadow (if you have the VoidZ mod installed).

Like many complex mods that ad lots of content, there is a guide book. In AdventureZ, it’s called the Handbook. You craft it with a book, Eye of Ender, and an Orc skin. These ingredients aren’t easy to get early game, so it’ll take a while to get the book. In the meantime, that’s where this guide comes in!

When you can craft it, it looks like this, with a good amount of content.

What Mobs are in the AdventureZ mod?

• Amethyst Golem – found in amethyst geodes. Will protect it’s home with golem like strength.
• Blackstone Golem – the toughest mob in the pack! summon it with a ritual in the Nether.
• Blaze Guardian – Blazes, but with sheilds. This is a mob vote loser that has made it to the game via AdventureZ. They’re tough to kill, and if you get too close they may explode as a attack.
• Deer – passive food mob.
• Desert Rhino – They will attack.
• Dragon – you can hatch your own pet dragon! After killing the dragon and summoning The Eye with the egg, gaining villager fame, and collect the egg again. Place the egg in the overworld and if it senses your fame, it’ll start to hatch. Tame it with meat or orc skin. When it grows up, you can put a orc skin saddle on it and ride it!
• Ender Whale – peaceful floating whales in the End. You can summon them with the flute and ride and steer them with the chorus fruit on a stick. They’re good eatin’
• Ender Warthog – they want to knock you into the void, so proceed with caution. They drop some good food and better skin that you can conver to Netherite Scrap.
• Fungus – in mushroom biomes, these living mushrooms will attack if provoked.
• Iguana – dessert
• Mammoth – Tiaga dwelling, formerly extinct mammals. They can be bred with grass and drop food and ivory tusks.
• Necromancer – Found in Nether Fortresses and they summon Wither Puppets (small wither skeletons) to protect them
• Nightmare – black skeleton horses, found in soul sand valleys and sometimes with a soul reaper. Can be tamed.
• Orc – spawn in plains biomes, more frequently at certain moon phases. The big ones pack a punch and the smaller ones will steal your tools. Either way, kill ’em for their skin.
• Piglin Beast – These oversized piglins will spawn while killing piglins or mining gold in the nether. They drop blackstone shards, piglin flags, and other loot.
• Shaman – Found in Swamps. They sport evil, toxic magic.
• Soul Reaper – Wither skeleton on steroids. Often found riding Nightmares.
• Summoner – These guys spawn in the overworld in thunderstorms and will summon skeleton guards
• The Eye – Boss summoned in the Eye shrine. When killed, it spawns a portal to the Void where you can kill the Void Shadow in its own dimension (requres the VoidZ add-on mod). If you don’t have VoidZ installed, you’ll get the villager fame and can move on to getting your own pet dragon. If VoidZ is installed, you need to take on the Void Shadow first.
• Void Shadow – The final boss in AdventureZ. It will be quite the battle. Beat the void shadow and you gain fame in the form of villager favor.
• Void Shade – Shoots void bullets
• Void Fragments – Spawn during the fight with the Void Shadow and shoot void bullets.

What Blocks are in the AdventureZ mod?

There are only a few new blocks in AdventureZ, the Blackstone Holder and the Piglin Flag. The holder is used in a multiblock structure called the Blackstone Golem Altar, which we’ll outline below.

How do you use the Piglin Flag in the AdventureZ mod?

The piglin flag is a rare drop by the Piglin beast. When placed, stand near it and any aggroed Piglins will be calmed.

How to You Build the Blackstone Golem Altar in AdventureZ mod?

The Blackstone Golem Altar is a 9x9x1 structure made with Polished blackstone. You build it in the Nether to summon the Blackstone Golem.

You’ll need:

• 48 Polished Blackstone
• 8 Polished Blackstone Bricks
• 24 Cracked Polished Blackstone Bricks
• 4 Chiseled Polished Blackstone Holders
• 4 Blackstone shards

These can all be crafted in a stone cutter from Blackstone

To build the Altar, place the blocks as follows.

• Place 1 Polished Blackstone in the Center,
• Surrounded by 8 polished blackstone bricks,
• Surrounded by a square of 14 Polished Blackstone,
• Surrounded by a square of 24 Cracked Polished Blackstone Bricks,
• Surrounded by 32 Polished blackstone,
• And on the center of side place 1 Blackstone Holders (4 total)

Once this structure is built, in the Nether, you place blackstone shards in each of the 4 holders and you’ll summon the Blackstone Golem.

How do you Build The Eye Shrine in AdventureZ?

The Eye Shrine is a 5x5x2 structure made of Obsidian and Crying Obsidian. You build it in the end to summon The Eye.

You’ll need:

To build,

• place a 5×5 square of Obsidian (or Crying Obsidian)
• On top of that, place a 3×3 square of Crying obsidian

It will take a while to “hatch” the egg, after which “The Eye” will appear.

After getting villager fame from your feats, get yourself a pet dragon for the ultimate flex.
