The Quackening – Mod for Minecraft

the quackening

The Quackening mod for Minecraft Forge adds vanilla-like structures and funny duck warriors to the game. This isn’t supposed to be a serious modification, but could be since there are many challenges. For instance, there’s a dragon duck boss that is extremely difficult to defeat – along with other bosses. Fortunately, players can craft custom weapons to have more power against these quacky mobs. The following sections below will detail what to expect with The Quackening mod.

Duck Warriors

These are the most common types of duck warriors in the mod, ranging from commanders to archers. Players can find them in outposts or in raids, meaning they aren’t found anywhere else. Upon slaying one of these ducks, features and experience orbs will drop. There are no unique items found on them, sadly. Besides that, hitting one of them reveals a funny duck sound.

Duck Bosses

There are many different bosses with The Quackening mod for Minecraft, such as the dragon or dinosaur. Players might even stumble upon a robotic duck that shoots quacky bombs! These hostile mobs pose great challenges for you and players alike, so make sure to be well equipped before facing them in combat. Otherwise, you might succumb to their forces.

Duck Outposts

As you explore the Minecraft world, there might be outposts and camps nearby. These are where ducks gather around and call home. Expect many warriors and occasionally bosses to be in these structures. There’s even custom blocks and some treasures for the grab! Each outpost and campsite generate in all kinds of biomes, meaning they’re likely to be found – similar to villages. For those who aren’t prepared, plan for intense battles with ducks!

Duck Raids

Instead of locating duck outposts or campsites, players can randomly find themselves in a raid. These occur after completing a certain number of advancements. For instance, having 10 achievements will introduce you to the tier 1 raid of ducks. This is the easiest one to defeat, with others exponentially increasing in difficulty. The following table shows you more information. Keep in mind that only one raid can happen in the Minecraft world at a time, meaning multiple ones are impossible.

Duck Items

There are a few custom items you’re able to craft by collecting unique collectable items from bosses and duck outposts. These range from weapons to cosmetics! Popular examples include the plasma sword, wyvern bow, rex blade, and duck hat. Install the JEI mod to quickly view each item’s crafting recipe in-game, making it easier to know how to obtain them.

Common Issues – The Quackening

My Minecraft Server / Launcher is Crashing

In cases where you’re unable to play Minecraft or load into your server, this is likely caused by an invalid configuration. Make sure you have the GeckoLib dependency mod installed, as this is required for The Quackening to work properly. Otherwise the issue will continue to persist – but can also be a sign of something else causing the problem.

Unable to Locate Duck Outposts & Warriors

If you cannot find any duck structures or warriors in Minecraft, then generate a new world. This is required for the new features to appear in-game. However, you should be able to also discover them by exploring new chunks (regions that haven’t been generated yet).

Cannot Start a Duck Raid

Players must have at least 10 advancements unlocked before they can encounter a raid. This will happen at random, so patience is key. The more advancements you have, the higher the raid tiers become – resulting in increased difficulty.
