Version 1.0.1

Minecraft 1.21.7/6 Compatibility

This release of Snowy Skirmish 2: Avalanche exclusively supports Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.7 and 1.21.6 due to some breaking datapack/resource pack changes introduced in this and prior versions of Minecraft. Future releases will support the latest Minecraft version in order to ensure proper Realms support.

Campfire Nerfs

We have tweaked a couple numbers related to the Campfire powerup to hopefully make them feel like more balanced items overall:

• Campfire maximum lifetime is now 45 seconds (down from 60).
• Enemy Snowballs subtract 18 seconds from Campfire lifetime (up from 17.5).
• Refueling Campfires with Coal Stockings now adds back 22 seconds to Campfire lifetime (down from 25).
• Campfires now heal 2 hearts every .6 seconds (down from 3.5 hearts at the same rate).
• Icicles can now extinguish enemy Campfires in one hit.

Other Changes/Tweaks

• Updated Spanish, Norwegian, and Japanese translations.
• Added (incomplete) German translations, courtesy of Yatloaf!
• Corrected some capitalization and spelling.
• Added extra blocks to the arena to help with terrain traversal.
• Players who join the game late during the Preparation Phase now receive the full amount of Snow Barricades they would have received if they were there from the start, rather than only 10.
• Players who leave and rejoin the game during the Preparation Phase now receive as many Snow Barricades as they had previously.
• Expanded the clickable area for lobby warp poles.
• Campfires now glow while using custom shader packs.

Fixed Bugs

• Disconnecting from the server while being the only player on a team made the “Edit Settings” sign unavailable. This could only be fixed by the last player on a team leaving their team while ingame.
• Joining a team late during Preparation Phase did not give you Snow Shovels and Snow Barricades.
• Joining a team late after Preparation Phase did not give you a Snowball.
• Joining a team late caused your first respawn at base to be silent.
• Players who had ingame tips disabled still saw occasional messages telling them to hide ingame tips.
• Stationary Sleighs could be left floating if Snow Barricades, Giftboxes, Campfires, or Sleighs broke beneath them.
• Sleighs did not have friction when riding on top of other Sleighs.
• Sleighs riding over uneven terrain could be considered not on ground, affecting ground physics behavior.
• Sleighs looked weird with custom shader packs active.
• The message for not being able to edit settings while players were in teams was missing a period in English translations.
• Going backwards from page 1 in translator credits opened a blank page.
• The “Brought to you by:” text above the lobby credits was invisible.
• Campfires would be placed partially inside snow layers and partially above full blocks.
• The actionbar text for Spectators was missing ingame.
• Campfire flames had solid outlines while using custom shader packs.
