List of entries[]

Resources[]

Name	Unlocked by	Entry
Wood	Collecting wood	"Allays use wood to build structures like walls, stairs and towers. It's also necessary to spawn plank golems. It would be silly to explain where it comes from, right?"
Stone	Collecting stone	"Stone is required to build moderate and advanced structures like stronger village fortifications. You can find stone pillars and deposits in most biomes."
Iron	Collecting iron	"Iron is a bit rarer than stone but shouldn't be too difficult to find. It is used by the allays to build structures like the protector tower and the masonry as well as some allies."
Coal	Collecting coal	"Coal is used to spawn creepers and build certain advanced structures like the kaboomery. It's fairly rare, but you can find coal deposits in most biomes."
Gold	Collecting gold	"Gold is obtained from destroying piglin bases and some of their structures. It is required to build wellhouses. Taking the piglins' gold after defeating them in battle is definitely adding insult to injury."
Diamond	Collecting diamond	"Diamond can be found in small deposits around the Overworld as well as collected in village chests. It is used by the allays to build freeze traps and the spyglass tower."
Redstone	Collecting redstone	"Redstone is a rare resource found in small deposits around the Overworld and collected in village chests. It's required to build the redstone launcher and the battle drums. Don't worry. the allays will do all the redstone engineering for you."
Piglin Key	Collecting a piglin key	"These keys open piglin chests which have been locked to prevent their valuable contents from being stolen. Though any piglin may be found carrying them, bosses and tougher units, especially those found roaming the world, are the best place to look. Their crude craftsmanship causes them to break after use, so you'll need to find a new one for each chest you open."
Lapis	Collecting lapis	"Lapis is what feeds the Flames of Creation, allowing you to spawn golems and mobs. It is obtained from roaming piglins and may also be stocked in village chests. Lapis is the main reason why you should give every piglin you see a good thwacking. Not that you needed more reasons."
Prismarine	Collecting primsarine	"Prismarine can only be obtained from destroying piglin structures and can be used to build upgrade structures at the Well of Fate."
Blast Tower Core	Collecting a blast tower core	"Created by the hosts, this core contains the essence of the Blast Tower, enabling its unique properties. Upon collecting a tower found in the world or deconstructing one you've placed, you will receive its core. The more you collected, the more you can build. If a tower is destroyed, the core will be lost."
Frost Tower Core	Collecting a frost tower core	"Created by the hosts, this core contains the essence of the Frost Tower, enabling its unique properties. Upon collecting a tower found in the world or deconstructing one you've placed, you will receive its core. The more you collected, the more you can build. If a tower is destroyed, the core will be lost."
Stun Tower Core	Collecting a stun tower core	"Created by the hosts, this core contains the essence of the Stun Tower, enabling its unique properties. Upon collecting a tower found in the world or deconstructing one you've placed, you will receive its core. The more you collected, the more you can build. If a tower is destroyed, the core will be lost."

Legendary Lute	Automatically unlocked	"Allays love music. The Lute allows you to play different melodies to ask them to do various tasks, like gathering or building."
Banner of Courage	Automatically unlocked	"The Banner of Courage draws its power from whoever wields it. In the right hands, it is a symbol of unity and hope."

Piglins[]

Name	Unlocked by	Entry
Horde of the Hunt	Encountering a Horde of the Hunt outpost	"The horde of the hunt has aggressive, fast moving armies that favor direct attacks. You will need to push back hard to stop their advance."
Horde of the Spore	Encountering a Horde of the Spore outpost	"The Horde of the Spore's chaotic fighters will keep you on your toes. It won't be easy getting to their portals – and there will be many surprises until the battle is won."
Horde of the Bastion	Encountering a Horde of the Bastion outpost	"The Horde of the Bastion are elite defenders renowned for their strength and barbarity. Getting past their defenses is a battle in itself."
The Great Hog	Defeating The Great Hog	"Legends say that the Great Hog was born from lava, spat out by the Nether itself to feast on the bones of those who dare to show any resistance."
The Beast	Defeating The Beast	"The Beast's ferocious speed is only matched by their petulance and pride. But more than anything, this piglin lives for the hunt."
The Devourer	Defeating The Devourer	"The Devourer rules over the Horde of the Spore from their wretched royal soup-bath. They are feared for their ferocity and their insatiable hunger to consume anything in sight - runt, mob and villager alike."
The Unbreakable	Defeating The Unbreakable	"Like any other Piglin, the Unbreakable is a power hungry and arrogant opportunist who wouldn't hesitate to take the throne from the Great Hog. However, no other Piglin is as cutthroat and relentless in their pursuit of the highest rank."
Piglin Invasion Horn		"The piglin invasion horn signals troop movement, so they can give away the piglins' plans, especially at night."
Piglin Chest	Opening a piglin chest	"Piglin chests are filled with resources they have taken from the overworld. You'll need to find a key to open them..."
Blaze Runt	Defeating a blaze runt	"Blaze Runts are better trained than mace Runts. They wield blaze rods that give them a greater range of attack. They would never win an archery contest against the skeletons, though."
Mace Runt	Defeating a mace runt	"Mace runts are the weakest piglins, but they make up for this with their numbers and their ferocious determination to rise up the ranks. Their maces are only dangerous in close combat, and they are susceptible to long range attacks. They're pretty cute when they're not pillaging or setting things on fire. Unfortunately, most of the time they're pillaging and setting things on fire."
Brute	Defeating a brute	"Brute's are the Horde of the Bastion's elite units. They pack a devastatingly fast whirlwind attack in close quarters that will smash your units to bits in an instant."
Piglin Builder	Defeating a piglin builder	"These piglins are crude but effective builders responsible for every piglin structure that pollutes the Overworld."
Sporeback	Defeating a sporeback	"Sporebacks are the Horde of the Spore's elite units. The mushroom grenades they throw are designed to root enemies to the ground and render them defendless against other piglins"
Spore Medic	Defeating a spore medic	"Spore Medics spread netherspores that make the Overworld breathable for the piglins and heal wounded piglin units."
Seeker	Defeating a seeker	"The seeker's explosive mushrooms cause devastating damage to anyone within their range - including themselves. There's not that much you can do once a seeker is ready to explode. But you can destroy the barracks to prevent more from spawning."
Pigmadillo	Defeating a pigmadillo	"Pigmadillos are the Horde of the Hunt's most elite units. They are rolling armored wrecking balls that bowl through their enemies with devastating effectiveness. They also tend to smash through wooden walls like a shovel through sand."
Warboar	Defeating a warboar	"Warboars are tough and quick on their hooves, knocking down enemies as they speed through the battle field. What came first the warboar or the piglin? Best to not dwell on that."
Lava Launcher	Defeating a lava launcher	"The lava launcher is a slow and lumbering beast that delivers a devastating ranged attack. But that doesn't mean you should get too close to it."
Portal Guard	Defeating a portal guard	"Portal guards are incredibly tough and protective of their namesake. From a distance they're not much of a threat, but their punishing chain-mace arm is always ready to strike at close range."
Nether Spreader	Destroying a nether spreader	"Nether spreaders poison the ground with corrupting red netherrack that prevents you from building structures. Once a Nether spreader is destroyed, the ground that it has sourced can be de-nethered and reclaimed."
Piglin Launcher	Destroying a piglin launcher	"The piglin launcher flings barrels with piglins onto the battlefield. The size of the base that the piglin launchers are in determines which piglins go for a brief ride."
Spike Tower	Destroying a spike tower	"This menacing tower fires huge spiked projectiles from very long distances. Shortly after impacting its target, it splits into several smaller bombs, making it effective against both units and structures. It can be countered by protector towers or by destroying it before it can detonate."
Armored Tower	Destroying an armored tower	"This powerful tower fires a spread of molten-hot blaze rods that damage and ignite anything they hit. The only way to take down an armored tower is to send in allies when it fires and the tower shield drops."
Spore Tower	Destroying a spore tower	"Reaching and destroying spore tower is nearly impossible for golems as they don't have strength to fight off the knock-back effects. These towers must be dealt with by more resolute allies."
Blaze Tower	Destroying a blaze rod tower	"The blaze rod tower is a medium-range heavy offense structure that must be dealt with from a safe distance unless you don't mind being a little tiny fire"
Piglin Pit	Destroying a piglin pit	"Pits deploy piglin units. Destroy them quickly to avoid being overwhelmed. You don't have to look too closely to tell that these pits are cobbled together by piglin builders on the battlefield."
Terror Horn	Destroying a terror horn	"Like the nether spreaders, terror horns claim territory for the piglins by poisoning the ground with netherrack but faster."
Siegeworks	Destroying a siegeworks	"Siegeworks increase the range of piglin towers. It's a fascinating technology - too bad it must be destroyed."
Patcher	Destroying a patcher	"The patcher repairs piglin base structures. Any structure that is being repaired will be harder to destroy, so it might be a good idea to get rid of the patcher first."

Overworld[]

Name	Unlocked by	Entry

Horse	Automatically unlocked	"Horses are strurdy sidekicks that can sprint indefinitely. It's no wonder horse are many adventurer's first choice - they're fast, they're loyal and they snort when they're happy."
Plank Golem	Encountering a source of Wood	"Plank golems launch powerful ranged attack against piglin units but are quite vulnerable to direct hits. Some say planks golem cuddles are totally worth the splinters."
Cobblestone Golem	Encountering a source of Stone	"Cobblestone golems are hardy units that can take down structures easily in large numbers. It turns out that the humble cobblestone golem has a mighty history."
Allay Chest	Opening an allay chest	"Allay chests contain rare resources like wood, iron, coal, redstone and diamond. When the piglins arrived, the allays harvested the Overworld's resource to safely store them in these chests that only they can open. Not that the piglins haven't tried."
Grindstone Golem	Building Iron Improvement	"Grindstone golems can break through large groups of low-rank piglins."
Mossy Golem	Building Iron Improvement	"Mossy golems use the healing water of the Well of Fate to heal the Hero and their allies. There's nothing like splashing around with a mossy golem on a warm day."
Creeper	Freeing them from their Homestead	"Native to the badlands, the creepers deal devastating explosive damage to piglin structures. When was the last time to hear sSssSssssSssssss? It's a welcome yet peculiar feeling."
Zombie	Freeing them from their Homestead	"Despite their horticultural leanings, zombies will bravely fight in the frontlines to save their allies from heavier blows. It's a good thing that the piglins haven't caught onto why zombies wear hats."
Skeleton	Freeing them from their Homestead	"The tundra-native skeletons are excellent archers that are best suited to the far edges of the battlefield. Why do skeletons wear armor? Some say they have felt a war coming for a long time. Others say it's the result of a particularly rattling blow to the head. One is more likely than the other."
Regal Tiger	Mounting Regal Tiger	"Stylish without even trying, regal tigers are the fastest mount in the Overworld. The only felines you can ride safely."
Brilliant Beetle	Mounting Brilliant Beetle	"Brilliant beetles can climb up walls and cliffs. If you can get over the extra legs, brilliant beetles are an excellent companion if you want to reach the higher point of the Overworld."
Big Beak	Mounting Big Beak	"Big beaks can glide over long distances. The higher you start, the further you'll glide. They are flightless birds, maybe because of their undersized wings or oversized beaks. Probably both."
Village	Encountering a village(s)	"Villages are important ally settlements and fast travel points that the piglins target at night. As long as you keep them safe, villagers will collect resources for you in the fountain chest. Fortify them with structures like walls and towers to make them easier to defend. Empty village chest? The residents might be too busy dodging piglin maces and blaze arrows."
Warrior		"The Warriors are your most powerful ally against the piglins. For them, defending the Overworld came at a heavy cost."
First of Stone	Rebuilding First of Stone	"The First of Stone uses their great strength to fling boulders at piglins.

When a First is defeated, they will meet you at the nearest village fountain or beacon."
Blast Tower	Collect the Blast Tower	"The blast tower zaps piglins within its range, stopping them in their tracks and dealing significant damage.

Knowledge built the Blast Tower a long time ago to combat forest fires but never found a use for all that energy... until now."
Stun Tower	Collect the Stun Tower	"When rung, the stun tower's bell emits a sound that stop the piglins in their tracks. To collect these mysterious towers, you must build a special improvement. Those chimes sure sound lovely... Makes you wonder what their original purpose was."
Frost Tower	Collect the Frost Tower	"The frost tower freezes piglins in their tracks - at least for some time. To collect these mysterious towers, you must build a special improvement. Knowledge can't remember why they created this tower but they definitely did not have freezing piglins in mind. A very welcome surprise indeed."
Speed Wheat	Interacting with speed wheat	"Speed wheat makes you go fast. Don't overthink it."

Regeneration Stone	Interacting with a regeneration stone	"Regeneration stones have a restorative effect on beings that come near them. It's unclear how all the regeneration stones ended up in the Overworld but it might have something to do with the waters of the Well of Fate."
Redthorn	Interacting with redthorn	"Wonder what happens if you touch redthorn? Ouch."

Geyser	Interacting with a geyser	"When exploring the tundra, watch out for geyser - they will send you flying high enough to make the landing... unpleasant. Might be fun with the right mount by your side, though."
