## Book Wyrm

### Nameid

defiledlands:book\_wyrm

**Book Wyrms** are small, flat, Defiled Lands versions of normal passive Minecraft mobs. Their appearance is similar to a cross between a crocodile and a turtle. They make hissing sounds.

## Spawning

Book Wyrms are relatively uncommon and are only found in the Defiled Biome. They spawn in groups similar to Cows, Sheep, and the like.

Naturally spawned Wyrms have Enchanting Levels between 3 and 6 and Digesting Times between 160 and 240 ticks.

Killing or moving away all Book Wyrms from the Defiled biome seems to prevent any further spawns of Book Wyrms. This also applies to looking for them when first discovering a Defiled biome. They must be there somewhere. If not, then they will never spawn in that biome. This behavior doesn't seem to be implemented anywhere in the source code so it could be a bug.

## Drops

Book Wyrms can drop any of these items when killed:

* 0-2 Book Wyrm Scales (100% Chance)
* 0-2 Raw Book Wyrm (100% Chance)

If Golden:

* 0-2 Golden Book Wyrm Scales (100% Chance)
* 0-2 Raw Book Wyrm (100% Chance)

## Breeding and Functions

Book Wyrms are a very unique and useful mob. They allow the player to create enchantment books with other unwanted or not needed enchantment books.

To correctly use Book Wyrms, the player needs a **Book Wyrm Analyzer**, an item crafted with Umbrium Ingots, a common ore in the Defiled Lands, one stained glass block, and a Scuttler eye. This will allow them to look at all the stats and qualities of the Book Wyrm.

* **Digesting Time:** How long -in ticks- it takes for the Book Wyrm to digest one Digested Level, ranging from 255 to 1.
* **Digested Levels:** How many levels in enchanted books the Book Wyrm has eaten and not used. Every enchanted book has its own value. Ranging from 0 to 30.
* **Enchanting Level:**What level of books the Book Wyrm can produce, ranging from 0 to 30.
* **Mating Time:**Says how long it will take the Book Wyrm to mate again, or if it can currently. Limit is mating every 5 minutes.
* **Golden Status:** If the Book Wyrm is golden, it will mention it having special hide.

Book Wyrms can be bred with Foul Candy, a food item from Defiled Lands.

If you "give" a Book Wrym an enchanted book, it will spit out another enchanted book after a short waiting period. The enchanted book it spits out is fairly random, and if the book wrym has a higher enchanting level or is golden, you have a chance of getting better books.

Hurting one Book Wyrm causes all nearby adult ones to agro too. The agro status resets when you reload the world or go far away so the chunk unloads or simply with time. Even when agroed, they can still be bred and analyzed. However, if you kill a Wyrm in one hit, nobody will agro on you.

### Golden Book Wyrm

**Golden Book Wyrm** is a rare variant with the added bonus of being able to get treasure enchants such as Mending.
They are a 1% chance from normal breeding or naturally spawning, a 4% Chance when one Golden Book Wyrm breeds with regular one, and a 10% chance when two Golden Book Wyrms breed.

## Tips

* Love-Arrow (AOE) and Switch-Bow can be used for easy mass breeding
* Diamond Battleaxe has enough base damage to reliably one hit a Wyrm without agroing others
