Project Sakura — Changelog

v2.8.0 — The Living Grove

Ten sub-biomes

Each zone splits into two prop variants — same terrain, different ground cover:

• SakuraGrove + Meadow (open, wildflower carpet, sparse trees)
• WisteriaCourt + Garden (denser canopy, more lavender and flowers)
• BambooGlade + Clearing (sparse bamboo, open ground, fern-heavy)
• HanamiPond + Shore (reedy waterfront, denser hot springs)
• LavenderField + Terrace (more structures, tighter ground cover)

Terrain-safe: existing player worlds are unaffected. Old chunks load from disk unchanged. New chunks in unvisited areas use the sub-biome variants.

Day/night atmosphere

Per-zone DeepNight weather variants with heavier fog and zone-tinted particles. Late-night hours (9pm-3am) mix 60% DeepNight / 40% regular Night. Each zone has its own particle color: pink (Sakura), lilac (Wisteria), green (Bamboo), warm gold (Hanami), purple (Lavender).

Vanilla Teleporter Uplift

New unified Sakura Teleporter pad consolidates the v2.1 Entry/Exit pads:

• Right-click to open the vanilla rune-naming UI. Pick a destination from the shared warp registry.
• Step on with a destination set to teleport to that named warp.
• Step on with no destination falls back to v2.1 auto-return behavior (record entry / restore exit).
• Old Entry/Exit pads continue to work unchanged in existing saves.

Instance discovery

"Sakura Grove" title now shows when entering the realm.

Sister mod

Every grove has a shadow. If you want to see what happens when the petals fall and the water turns, check out The Blighted Grove — the dark twin of Project Sakura. Ten corrupted biomes, environmental hazards, a Blight Dragon, and a reason to watch where you step. Same persistent-realm architecture, opposite mood.

v2.7.5 — Thematic Polish

WisteriaCourt lilac-tinted, LavenderField restored to no-trees prairie, KoiPond stocked with pond fish, per-biome structure density tuned.

v2.7.4 — Domain-Warped Ridges

Domain-warped terrain ridges for more organic hill shapes. Vanilla namespace fix.

v2.7.3 — 3D Terrain Density

Added 3D simplex noise for surface roughness and overhangs.

v2.7.2 — Cross-Biome Ecosystem

Fauna ecosystem spans all biomes with diurnal/nocturnal separation.
