Vee's Archaeology Update Pt. 5 - The Return of the Rascal

THEY'RE BACK!!!

Found spawning rarely underground below Y level 0, the Rascal is a friendly if skittish little passive mob that collects treasures of the underground.

Rascals have unique spawning mechanics similar to Phantoms or the Wandering Trader - two rascals can't exist in the world at the same time, but they can spawn and despawn like other passive mobs. If a Rascal is Name Tagged, it won't disappear, and other Rascals can spawn as they like. They will attempt to spawn every few minutes around a player that is underground, similar to Phantoms.

Much like how they were described in the mob vote 4 years ago, the Rascal is a master of hide and seek. When one spawns, it will be out of sight of the player. When the Player gets within 5 blocks and line of sight of the Rascal, it will get shocked and disappear in a puff of smoke! The Rascal has now teleported somewhere between 32 and 64 blocks away, provided it is not exposed to sky level and will try not to be within the Player's direct line of sight. The hunt is on!

After you've found the Rascal 3 times, it won't disappear. Instead, it'll stare at you and hold an Agate in its hand, asking you to give it another one. If you hold an Agate out, it'll start nodding its head rapidly to plead with you to hand it over!

Giving a Rascal an Agate (any kind will do) will cause it to start dispensing items out of its satchel, one at a time similar to a Vault. The Rascal will ALWAYS give out an Enchanted Book. Different kinds of Agates will give slightly different kinds of rewards, from different enchants on the books to different common loot items that'll help you survive underground. Items the Rascal can give you can include:

Enchanted Books (always 1, can give more than 1)

Enchanted Iron Pickaxe & Shovel

Brushes (can be enchanted with unbreaking)

Chainmail Armor (can have a random Agate-colored trim of the Raiser, Shaper, Wayfinder, or Host patterns, and can be enchanted)

Bread

Steak

Golden Carrots (only with rare agates)

Copper Ingots

Iron Ingots

Gold Ingots

Diamonds (only with rare agates)

Lapis Lazuli

Redstone Dust

Emeralds (only with rare agates)

Sticks

Oak Planks

Arrowheads

Wheat Seeds

Rare Agates (only with common agates, always only one. can trade it to a different Rascal!)
