Also find and fight a new curious breed of monster - the MUSHLINS, which find and push the player back with their bouncy head!

THE ASH FOREST

The Ash Forest is the second biome added with LUMINOUS: NETHER, and it houses minecrafts undeadliest mobs yet! Find new spooky structures like the one pictured above, build with new ash bricks and a "withered" woodset!

Check out the ceiling to see a new feature, Driprot! a strange and twisting vine which grows a new food source in the nether - pale melons! Driprot has its own brick set, bringing a gross and ghastly vibe to your world!

NEW MOBS

_(From left to right)_

Mushlin Bumper - These curious mobs love to bounce players back with their heads! Kill them to get mushlin protein - a new food source!

Piglin Cultist - Having given their life to the call of the mushlin king, these cultists will attack ANYONE who gets near them with a new weapon - the Cultist axe!

Piglin Cultist Leader - These elite cultists have the ability to summon backup when attacked! Take them out quickly! Piglin Cultist Rider - After learning how to tame the ferocious hoglin, this Cultist rides him into battle, at your health bars expense!

Piglin Ghost - Having been killed long ago, these angry souls are confined to spawners in different structures in the ash forest - fight them if you dare!

Pottergeists - Long believed to be the souls of lost pets, these curious spirits were captured by the piglin ghosts, held captive in structures found in the ash forest. Right click on one to tame it, and it will follow you, hold items for you, and even wear decorative vases for some added style!

Spirit - The spirits roam the ash forest, and will only attack if attacked first! They drop a new valuable item - ghostly essense

Guzzleghast - The only thing bigger than the guzzleghasts insatiable appetite is its head! Guzzleghasts roam the ash forest, attacking players unless killed or pacified. If fed, they have a chance to drop Ectoplasm balls, a unique throwable projectile capable of affecting the gravity of blocks! Crimson Walker - Watch your swing around these infectious undead, as when they die, they POP! Crimson walkers explode into an infectious cloud when killed, giving the player a new negative effect, hemmorrhage.

Glider - The glider has long been hated by its striding cousins for the fact they never have to get their hands dirty, or, in lava. Feed a glider crimson flesh to keep it well fed, and it may let you hitch a ride!

Revenant - Roaming the soul sand valley, this skeleton has the ability to heal itself when shooting the player!
