Changelog 0.8.5

Hardcore Alchemy Changelog Highlights (0.8.5)

This release focuses on adding survival tradeoffs.

Heart upgrades can now be sacrificed for perks. If you decide you don't like your allocation of hearts, you can remove a random heart using the Essence of Heartbreak.

The potion effect Voidfade now behaves differently. Previously, it made you immune to all damage. There is now a notable exception: Voidfade causes you to take damage from water as long as the potion effect is active, and exposure to water will also extend its duration. Like other water allergies, it can be negated with the Potion of Water Resistance. Voidfade can still be removed with milk as well.

Last but not least, a loophole in dietary restrictions has been closed, where you could craft foods using Cooking for Blockheads and not have dietary restrictions applied to the output foods.

Notable mod changes (0.8.5)

• Jon's Useless Mod has been updated to a custom fork, with some jokes changed for taste
• Cooking for Blockheads has been updated
