Meet The 'Wayfinder'

This new, unique mob will assist players in finding their dream biomes in a lore-friendly vanilla-styled gameplay that provides more character and an exploration journey.

GETTING STARTED:

Wayfinder — screenshot 4

Wayfinder shrines can be found in Villages, and the player needs to offer up a few emeralds to summon a Wayfinder. Each player can also have their own Wayfinder, and when they aren't helping you find biomes, they can act just like any other 'pet' except this little being is definitely an ancient deity of some sort, so don't treat them like one.

HOW TO USE:

Right-click your new Wayfinder friend, and on the right side of the GUI, you will see all the biomes in the current dimension you are in. Click on the biome you want to search for and click 'Search'. If the Wayfinder cannot find the biome within a 10,000 block radius, it will shake its head no, and you will need to pick another biome to find. Once the Wayfinder finds a biome you want within its radius, it will begin journeying to the biome. If the Wayfinder gets too far away from its owner during a journey, it will teleport back to the owner. If you want to cancel the trip, right-click your Wayfinder and click the 'Cancel' button. Wayfinders do have a short cooldown in-between biome searching.

PROTECTING YOUR WAYFINDER:

Wayfinders are targeted by PROJECTILE BASED MOBS such as, but not limited to, Skeletons, Pillagers, Witches, and more. If the Wayfinder detects one of these mobs nearby, it will go into a panic state; the player must kill the nearby mobs for the Wayfinder to continue its journey. If the Wayfinder gets hurt, it will put up a shield that will block the following two instances of damage. Once the shield is broken, the Wayfinder will be vulnerable to death.

You can feed a Wayfinder 'Glowberries' to heal its health.

RESUMMONING YOUR WAYFINDER:

If your Wayfinder dies, you can resummon them at a Shrine; however, it will cost 2x more than the previous Emerald amount. The starting summon value is 1, so resummoning once will cost two emeralds, then 4, 6, 12, 24, etc., up to a max of 64 emeralds. But you won't let that happen... right?

FUTURE PLANS & UPDATES

-Skins! We want to let you customize your Wayfinder and give it that extra flair!

-New exploration mechanics such as Glowberry charges to increase the biome distance search range

-New journey completion rewards, such as a new music disc or hero of the village, for completing long journeys!

-Tweaking movement for the Wayfinder

-And so much more!
