What's new

AMBUSH 1.1.3

New encounter

  • Added the Evoker Tiny Broadside Boat: a deep-ocean ambush with an evoker captain, pillager crew, four individually aimed HE impact-fuze cannons, a forward autocannon, and an evoker slowness-arrow rain.
  • The encounter unlocks after killing one pillager and spending 10 seconds in a boat.
  • use /ambush admin list to find out what can spawn which embedded encounters.

Ship and cannon improvements

  • Ship steering now respects each encounter’s configured steering_controls.max_angle.
  • Added datapack-controlled superheated portable engines.
  • Added reliable per-cannon arc-gated firing with cannon_alignment and fire_mount_local. (this makes the cannons more accurate if you want them to be)

Data-driven ship behavior

  • Ship propulsion direction, bearing placement mode, steering limits, clutch behavior, range-holding reversal, recovery turns, and direct mount assembly are now explicit encounter-data opt-ins.
  • AMBUSH no longer silently overwrites those schematic settings when their JSON fields are absent.
  • Updated the datapack authoring guide for the new explicit ship-control behavior.

Bug Fixes

  • Boats no longer are pushed to the surface of the body of water they are in

Other

  • Added FTB Quest integrations
  • Added failure causes and events
  • Added more reward events
  • Added optional follow-up actions for failed or completed encounters.

Content cleanup

  • Removed deprecated Boat Autocannon and Pillager Autocannon encounters.
