Wyrms of Nyrus

0.7

Our largest, most ambitious update yet (206 days in the making!), Wyrms of Nyrus: Genesis overhauls the visuals to become compatible with as many shader mods as possible, along with improvements to the evolution system, many requested bug fixes, optimizations, new content, and a few notable mob overhauls.

• Removed Geckolib requirement, requires SynapseLib 3.0 or above
• Fully compatible with Optifine and Iris forks at last! Play with or without shaders, the wyrms glow and move as intended.
• Screenshake, which can be disabled in the in-game client options.
• With Arcade as the new default preset, players are first met with a fast-paced experience, where wyrms have lowered health but raised damage. Players can switch the preset to ID 1 to play Classic once more, and Dark Forest is untouched and as difficult as ever.
• A new stealth mechanic allows players to carefully sneak around the Nyral Wyrms and their Creeped minions.
• A touch of variety has been added to many wyrms, further diversifying their ranks.
• Over time, wyrms will mutate, and it is entirely possible to push a variant to evolve more than the others if you're not careful!
• Two new tools that double as weapons, to make use of the Hivesteel you've acquired.
