3.0.0 - Of knights and men

Worldgen:

• ADDED NEW, HOSTILE DIMENSION! - OBSIDIAN VOID
  • Something never thought possible in minicraft modding community has been finally made!
  • This dimension has no day/night cycle so you cannot benefit vampirism from Night Armor but still it can protect you.
  • Obsidian void consists tier 2 of Ancient skeletons
  • Due to high temperatures, lack of sunlight photosynthesis is impossible so trees and crops cannot grow there. Bone meal is also inefficient
  • Since this is a void the sky looks like purple galaxy
    • Don't fall into the void! If you die you will have no death chest!
  • New dimension consists of 4 levels that can't get reached via overworld stairs
    • Dungeon bridges: The top level of Obsidian Void. You can reach it by killing guardian bot and opening locked staircase... and locked door but via knights key beforehand
      • Just like name states that floor is net of bridges between almost all towers.
        • Sometimes worldgen will generate two smaller nets of roads but this is intentional
      • Mobs that spawn on this floor: Guardian bots , fire sages and level 5 wraiths
      • In future updates big rooms that spawn on this floor may receive additional usage.
    • Surface
      • The first time you will use special portal to get there will spawn you on this floor. You can find there obsidian rocks, obsidium , coal and lapis ores
        • Area is full of dungeon grass, obsidian bricks, dirt, raw obsidian basically it's mostly obsidian
    • Two dungeon floors:
      • Both of floors spawn dungeon chests and Mimics.
      • They are slightly smaller than Overworld one. They do not have deepslate in obsidian walls.
      • Beware of the lower dungeon floor which is actually the deepest level of the Obsidian Void. There you can meet stronger knights, very rarely a guarding bot that may knock you into the Void since there are a lot of void holes.
        • The lowest floor is the homeland for... OBSIDIAN KNIGHT
          • Obsidian knight is not the same one as he was in plus
• Improved Overworld dungeon floor:
  • added snake lairs
    • Snake lairs contains spawners that generate one specific level from 1 to 3.
    • Snakes spawned from spawners DON'T drop dungeon chests keys
  • added dungeon tallgrass
  • added some deepslate so you can still feel the climates of Overworld
• Changed and improved dungeon entrance
  • Entrance no longer spawn in constant place anymore and depends on seed inputted
    • previously it was near center of the world floor.
  • TODO: make it open with keys
  • improved its generating furthermore
    • besides making it generate some pillars nearby entrance you can see some obsidian bricks/ornate obsidian in the distance. If you find some it means you are close to the dungeon entrance.
• Caves... slight of cave update II which got 2nd place
  • Gold floor now has cave wastes biome - this biome works just like plus's normal cave worldgen.
    • You also see this biome in Iron and Iron/Gold floor
  • On all cave floors and inside the obsidian dungeon you can see pure coal ore.
  • Added Gold/Lava transition floor
    • You can see ruins from Gold floor spawning there. Just like Gold floor ruins they do not develop any chests unless they are spawner rooms
    • Obsidian spawner dungeons will also generate there
    • Still full of water lakes but you can occasionally find some gems.
    • You can meet some deepslate there
      • inside of it you can find small gem and gold ores.
    • Develops less moss than floor above
    • Only tier 2 and 3 mobs spawn on this floor.
      • Beware of ancient skeletons!
  • All cave floors now have improved ground rock generation
    • Gold floor now spawns a very little bit of deepslate and iron
• Iron floor now develops stone ores
• Sky floor change:
  • Added back in 2.9.0 new biome won't be present in middle of the world. It will be rather present on vertical sky floor edges
• Improved cave ruins generation for Gold floor and newly added Gold/Lava transition floor
  • Now you can see ruined stone houses. That does not mean item chests spawning which is for balancing purpose as we have spawner dungeons spawning with chests already

Graphics:

• Changed textures of gem tools to make it look less minecraftish
  • Old aqua gem ores of course remain in the game and will spawn naturally
• Made stone ore show some coal shards
• Slightly improved tools sprites
• Improved potions display
  • Now you can pick how many potion effects should be displayed at a time (from 2 to 5, the default is 3)
    • full potions list with full names is be available in separate tab
  • You can also toggle potion text off or change its shortened display length (by default it is disabled to give a showcase to new potion effect icons)
  • You can also toggle potion icons off and on. (by default it is enabled)
• Improved mobs sprites so they support custom colour
  • changed knights textures so they can occasionally use decors and colours
  • made zombies and skeletons fancier by adding chance to spawn with long hair
    • skeletons also can wear colored clothing scraps
  • Snakes can spawn with black stripes. These does not affect their power/health

Balancing:

• Upon player's death, points will be halved for the first three day/night cycles. Then deaths will use old constant multiplier (1/3)
  • Note: This change is inactive while score mode is active.
• Night wizard heal ratio upon night start has been lowered for both tiers: 66% ----> 40%
• In every world from now on there will be at least one Dungeon Chest which will require TWO keys to open. Mimics can pretend to be them so be careful!
  • Bigger world means more natural double locked dungeon chests
  • More double locked dungeon chests will await in OBV with richer loot
  • Double locked mimics can eat both keys but mostly often they will eat you one despite having two locks
  • Double locked chests in Overworld will have a little bit richer loot
• Player emits way less light while in caves but now holding torch in hand is worthy as it will provide old light range.
  • On surface player no longer emits light while not having light source as an active item.
• You cannot benefit vampirism from Night Armor in dimensions that have no day/night cycle
• From now on every recipe that uses shards will require new furniture called: Shard forge
• Every tool type has slightly increased durability
• Removed sticks from iron , gold and gem bow recipes
• Changed balance of shears
  • Shears now have tiers and Iron one has less durability giving worth to higher level tiers
    • Currently Shears are second tool type that hasn't every level available
  • They will still require some iron (for grip) but blades will use different materials for higher tiers
• Changed balance of ores
  • Ores now check level of your tool. Some not full ores may require one tool level lower to do full damage.
    • For example for full damage potential to gem ore you need iron pickaxe at least.
    • Still some ores may have damage protection such as: Obsidian, newly added Obsidium or gem ores
    • But at the same time other ores may be more fragile. For example lapis takes 10% more damage from all sources.
• Iron, Gold and Lava floors should now be richer in Lapis.
  • You can see some more lapis in easier to access places improving gameplay as well
• You get a little , little bit less coal from mining stone
• Changed durability of fishing rod and implemented it properly
  • However there is still chance for some easter eggs or fishing use twice as much durability
• Replaced unused zanite tools with Obsidium tools since sky update II didn't win the voting. Speficifally obsidium tools have even more durability.
  • Obsidium armor reduces burning duration while equipped
• Now water and ice tiles dry after short period of time while in obsidian dungeon
• Dungeon mobs shall spawn more often
• Surface mobs spawn more often and iron floor mobs spawn slightly less offent
• Knights balance changes:
  • Knights armor make them immune to knockback
  • Knights have way less health but they take 2.5x less damage
• more stair structures should generate on bigger worlds
• Deepslate rock health reduced: 85 ---> 70

Mobs:

• Added Mimics:
  • Mimics pretend to be dungeon chests but when you try to open them using a key they will open their jaws and will start chasing you.
    • There is: 0% on Easy, 2,5% on Medium and 5% on hard of chance that mimic will eat your key you used to open fake dungeon chest!
  • Mimics spawn in all dungeon floors across both Obsidian Void and Overworld
  • Mimic is an enemy that has four tiers.
  • mimics rarely drop wood, raw beef, baked potatoes or shards.
• Added Fire Sage
  • Fire sage behaves like Airwizard except it makes storm of Fire sparks that can heal knights, burn mobs
    • Fire sage's sparks on higher levels can mark you with Mark of the Fire causing you to receive additional damage from burning.
    • Unlike Airwizard Sage uses his spell whenever fire spirits sense player from very far and they will be nearby a knight so they can heal him
  • While not attacking sage leaves fiery trail that may burn you or heal knight who will step on it
  • Fire sages are enemies that have five tiers.
• Obsidian knight debuts from Minicraft + with extra changes
  • Boss has 3 phases(unlike plus one: two)
  • Every phase beaten reduces OBK's armor meaning that they will be more vulnerable to damage

2.9.1 - Hotfix

Fixes:

• Fixed swimming in aerocloud zombie display (and basically other mobs)
• Removed change your skin option from world options tab
• Fixed bug where you could continue fishing while holding totally different than fishing rod item.

2.9.0 - Great view from uphere

Hii. It's me pelletsstarPL yet again and I am introducing you true, new update 2.9.0 which mostly focuses on The Cloud but also improves some visuals and overall worldgen.

Changelog:

Worldgen changes:

• From now The Cloud is supported by Aerocloud layer.
  • Mostly the middle. Cloud shores aren't supported by bottom Aerocloud layer meaning shoveling cloud there will unravel void.
  • For now only Zombies can swim in Aerocloud. In 3.0.0 it will be extended to mobs that have arms and legs.
• Made skygrass generate more independetely on The Cloud.
• Significantly changed worldgen for sky floor and improved it.
  • Two new biomes will generate on sky floor.
    • The first is cloud grasslands - biome full of cloud tallgrass accompanied by sky rocks and small cloud cacti
    • The second is Cloudsert. Biome with deep cloud where mostly sky conifers will appear instead of cloud cacti and surface is fully covered by not an ordinary Cloud but a Aerocloud
      • Some parts of Cloudserts won't contain sky conifers at all
  • Added sky floor beaches out of deep aerocloud. Stuff that works like quicksand but only removes stamina upon moving. By staying in place you recover it
    • If you hop into the aerocloud with no stamina you won't start taking drowning damage.
    • Swim potion effects makes Aerocloud not consuming stamina
    • You can recharge stamina while swimming in Aerocloud by simply not moving in it but it will be many times slower
  • Changed pattern for generating sky trees
• Added minibiome to overworld level: grasslands.
  • On grasslands sometimes there are ferns.
  • Grasslands are tightly connected to Plain biome so they won't be dominant biome option and these are just one of minibiomes

Balancing:

• One snake cannot apply many different venom kinds
  • This balance change relates to fix and now each snake is venomous and game saves what kind of venom does the snake have
• Cloud tallgrass now also drops plant fibers
• Wraiths now have a specific weakness.
  • Since they aren't material to damage player and other beings they need to use their "lifeforce"
    • In other words from now if wraith successfully attacks the player , wraith themself will lose some part of his health.
    • However Air wizard's and Night wizard's wraiths are immune to this weakness and for sunlight.
• Add transparent slime variation and make mobs save additional variable so we may use it in other purposes not just visual or sth

2.8.1 - Tweaks

Balancing:

• If farmlands are irrigated there is 10% chance that Farmland will remain upon harvesting crops or other plants instead of turning into dirt

Other:

• Replaced some render methods for tiles... thanks @TheBigEye again.
• Updated gh src code

• Added Antitime potion effect with opposite effects. May get used in future updates in some way.

Balancing:

• Night wizard II balance changes:
  • Starting HP has been increased: 3000 -----> 3150
  • Wizard summons mobs 25% more often (every 1500 ticks instead of 2000 as for NW I it stays at 2000)

• Cloud cacti drop less saplings: 0 to 3 ------> 0 to 2 .

This special update is also Christmas gift for you all.
This updates mostly focuses on stairs themself but also tweaks and improves many things. Stuff planned for 2.7.0 mentioned in 2.6.0 changelog is postponed to future updates to prevent adding too much at once. Anyway:

New content:

• Improved desert by making world generator generate cacti saplings.
  • Note that these will have delayed aging.
  • If everything will work properly then 2.8.0 or 2.9.0 may extend sapling generation.
• Made seasonal splashes for: birthday of: mod author, mod itself and modder's fav anime character. (bc why not lol), halloween, valentines
• Added new worldgen seeting
  • Additional stonemass level. You can set it from -1 to 5. The bigger number the more stone will world generator generate.

Visual improvements!

• Instead of blinking for shortened display hearts , hunger and thirst will now wiggle if low.
  • Same for traditional but there only hearts which are filled to at least half will wiggle.
  • Burgers and droplets will also start wiggling whenever you are about to lose another hunger or thirst point
  • Armor bar and health bar will also wiggle simultaneously when player takes damage. The more damage is taken the longer it will wiggle.
    • This also applies to Shortened display

  • Searching for now may be a little bit buggy but 2.8.0 should fix it next year.

Balancing:

• Stairs changes:

  • Stairs can spawn slightly closer to themself
  • However some of stairs will now be buried meaning that if you try to use upstairs from lower floor you will be unable to move up one level(you can still use your escape potions)

In short worldgen should now be less messy and overall generate better worlds. Bigger worldgen changes are planned for 3.0.0

Details

• Changed flower generation a bit to make flower patches look less messy.
• Added beaches and changed way of generating eyes... SORRY I MEANT ICE. Credits to @TheBigEye for beaches code.
  • Beaches worldgen was partially improved by me for needs of this branch
• Tundras shouldn't generate next to deserts or drylands anymore. However if you see singular rocks known from drylands know that it's intentional to make your world look nicer ;)
• Added ground rock beaches for levels -3 and -4
• For -4 level also added occasional NORMAL singular ground rocks. Despite that you will now see many singular ground deepslate rocks all around the floor
• -4 level should now have more landmass (before most of landmass was one big lava ocean)
• -3 level no longer has tiny water ponds on moss biome
• Island and box themes should generate more stonemass
• Island ,Irregular and Box themes also have altered way of generating ground rock on surface
• Stairs now have their own structure which for now will spawn at floors: -1 and -2

• Fixed splashes bug that triggers during december

New content:

• Added fungus spores which you can use to farm big fungi

  • Now most of current big fungi will be replaced with spores which maturation time is very very vary. Sometime they may become mature quickly, while the other time it may take way longer for one to mature.
  • Naturally generated reed will now have way more vary maturation time.
• Partially replaced wooden tools with crude tools. They will no longer require workbench to craft but will require many primitive materials instead such as stones, sticks and strings.

• When you have water nearby farmlands it will now have darker texture. However keep in mind that in previous and in this version watered farmlands are more efficient and make crops grow faster.

Balancing:

• More cavern stairs will generate on bigger worlds. Also added formula that should prevent from spawning too much downstairs at the world edges
