Maxwell: Codex Tenebrae

The magic contained is this mod increases the power of the Codex Umbra, allowing Maxwell to create twice as many Shadow Puppets.

It also grants the power to banish them on command.


This mod provides three set of configuration options: balanced, original and tenebrae.

balanced

The configuration balanced makes Maxwell more powerful. He can create more shadows, up to six at the same time, and is able to kill them. The health and sanity cost of each shadow are adjusted proportionally. Also, only one Nightmare Fuel is required to create a shadow, precisely what they drop when dying. This is the default mod configuration.


original

The original configuration is the default configuration of Maxwell in Don't Starve without mod. He can create up to three shadows, for 15 health, 55 sanity and 2 Nightmare Fueld each. He can't destroy them, and has to wait two days and a half or make them die in combat to dispose of them.


Tenebrae

The configuration Tenebrae reveals the darkest power of the Codex Umbra. Maxwell can create up to six shadows at the same time, doesn't need Nightmare Fuel, and its health is magically restored during the process. He can also endlessly accumulate Nightmare Fuel by killing its own shadows over and over.

All mod settings can be modified independently in the « Configure Mod » menu. To restore the base game configuration select the value 0, no or original for each option.

Shadow Puppets

Controls the maximum number of Shadow Puppets created by reading the Codex Umbra. Up to a maximum of six shadows can be created, contrary to three in the base game.

This setting automatically determines the health and sanity cost of a single shadow.

The options +2 (5) and +3 (6) have been carefully designed to allow the character to drop its sanity under 15 % when all shadows have been created. As a consequence Shadow Creatures[dontstarve.fandom.com] will appear.


Shadow Fuel Cost

Controls the number of Nightmare Fuel required to create a Shadow Puppet.


Shadow Health Cost

Controls the amount of health required to create a Shadow Puppet. Creating 3 shadows in the base game cost a total of 45 HP.


Shadow Life Time

Controls the Shadow Puppets life time.
