Horde Of The Spore Piglins
The Horde of the Spore can wear you down with poison- be sure to bringMossy Golemsto cure your mobs, and plenty ofZombieswho are unaffected by the toxic shrooms!
Sporebacksare large piglins that throw exploding mushrooms. Any mobs that get hit will bestuck in placefor a short time, making them an easy target for Blaze Runts and other ranged attackers. The Hero is unaffected, so don’t be afraid to charge the Sporebacks yourself!
Lava Launchersare the biggest piglins around, apart from the Horde Leaders themselves. As their name suggests, they throwballs of burning lavathat deal massive damage and set your mobs on fire! When you see one, keep an eye on it at all times so that you canget out of the waywhen it fires.
How To Destroy A Horde Of The Spore Portal
The Horde of the Spore builds their bases ontall plateaus, making their Portals hard to reach. There are two ways to destroy their bases; the easy but expensive and time-consuming way, or the faster but more challenging way.
The easy way is tobuild a second Gather Redstone Improvement at the Well of Fate, letting you carry up to three hundred Redstone. That’s enough to build three Redstone Launchers! Clear out the Netherrack around a base until you can build your Launchers within range of the Portal, then fire away!
You’ll probably need to destroy the piglins' towers to protect your Redstone Launchers, and build walls to keep out any counterattacks that the Spore send after you.
A Protector Tower can be a big help in this situation!
The harder way is tolook for the smallest plateauat the bottom of the base. Clear out the buildings there andbuild a ramp to the next plateau.Repeat this process until your troops can reach the top of the base and attack the Portal directly. Along the way, use the grass under destroyed Nether Spreaders to remove Netherrack and place towers or spawners of your own.

How To Defeat The Devourer
When the last Portal belonging to the Horde of the Spore is destroyed, the Devourer will arrive andbuild one last basenearby. The Devourer throws noxious gobs of goo that deal a lot of damage, and their range is equal to that of a Redstone Launcher - if you’re in the Devourer’s base, you’re a target!
While it’s possible to hit the Devourer from afar with Redstone Launchers, thishardly does any damage.You’re going to have to climb up and face the Horde Leader directly. Zombies are great for keeping the boss busy while your Skeletons fire volleys of arrows. If your Skeletons fall off of the plateau, don’t worry - they canusually hit the Devourer from the ground leveluntil you’re able to lead them back up.
While your mobs are fighting, take a group of Cobblestone Golems andtear down any piglin towers near the combat zone.This will help conserve your units, and potentially give you space tobuild towers of your own, dealing more damage to the boss.
The Devourer will leap to a different plateauwhen their health reaches seventy percent.They’ll do so again at thirty percent. By the time this happens, you’ll probably have a solid foothold on the Devourer’s previous location, so take the opportunity tobuild new spawnersso that you don’t have to go all the way back to the bottom for new mobs.
When the Devourer dies,their Portal is immediately destroyed, removing the Horde of the Spore from the game. There may still be a few squads running around the Overworld, but they won’t attack any more Villages.
