PLEASE stop using the Skinwalkers mod

[SomeRando]

Whenever I'm looking for modpacks, most of them include the Skinwalkers mod by RugbugRedfern. Just because its at the top of the list doesnt mean its the best! I keep seeing modpacks ruined. Skinwalkers doesn't sync voices from enemies between players, making it very scuffed. If you use Mirage by qwbarch, plus you use lethalconfig to change which monsters can speak, it works so much better. I'm not trying to stop giving RugbugRedfern support, im just trying to inform people, because it hurts to see people using Skinwalkers instead of Mirage.

I think he's more concerned with others knowing about the existence of improved skin-walkers mods.

I use mirage myself, I do like it quite a bit more.

Thanks for the tip! I was disappointed when I found out that the Skinwalker mod doesn't get synced between players, so Mirage seems like a nice alternative.

I think one of the issues with Mirage is the name. It doesn't even sound like it's associated with mob speech at all.

Unironically thanks for posting this, I really wanted the Masked enemy overhaul specifically to work with skinwalkers and that mod currently breaks the game and stops enemies from spawning, but Mirage, which implements basically everything from that mod + optionally skinwalkers, doesn't.

Mirage is better 100%

That being said, Skinwalkers walked so Mirage could run. I still enjoyed Skinwalkers before Mirage

Mirages in pop culture in the last 40 odd years have absolutely had full blown conversations with things that aren't what they seem to be. They tend to be audio AND visual hallucinations.

Now imagine you lose track of your buddy, and you find him further in. It looks like your buddy, sounds like your buddy, but it's actually something else entirely then what it appears to be. Mirage checks out

It's not my first thought when I hear the name. It sounds more like a mod that makes hallucinations of enemies or something appear in the distance, not something that makes monsters sound like you.

Yeah the vast majority of pop-culture mentions of a mirage I've ever seen are talking about a very specific idea of people in a desert hallucinating an oasis or something similar to that in the distance.

I could point to an endless sea of cartoons in which they interact with and speak to the mirages they see, and the mirages interact and speak back. You can find examples of this even dating back to the early days of Tom and Jerry, Loonie Toons, and Hannah Barbara cartoons. I'm sure if I looked at movies, I could find plenty that do this too.

And how many times do we see them talk to the mirage and it talks back? Tons upon tons. It's up there almost in line with the hallucination of the oasis with a palm tree.

Guess I just know more then most people on the topic then.

Literally never, I've never heard anyone even describe a mirage as including an auditory hallucination until you said it.
