• The Rod of Angel recipe has been added to the Block of Angel tooltips.
• Information on how to upgrade rods to their magnetic versions has been added.
• Other tooltip improvements for better clarity.
• The effects applied by the Elder Guardian Eye and the Energy Crystal now have their own icons.

🐞 Fixed

  • The effect is maintained while the Eye is held in either hand.

📦 Version 2.15.1

🐞 Fixed

• Fixed an issue where the Planter failed to continue planting on partially filled rows if the seed stack was smaller than the remaining farmland length. Planting range is now evaluated independently of seed count and stops only when seeds run out or a blocking block is encountered.

📦 Version 2.14.9

🐞 Fixed

• Now armor defense is calculated correctly based on its durability.

📦 Version 2.14.8

🐞 Fixed

• Monsters stayed undead if the Block of Devil was destroyed in any way other than by a player or an explosion.

📝 Improvements

• The Block of Devil no longer affects surrounding blocks on Peaceful difficulty.

📦 Version 2.14.7

📝 Improvements

• Cracked Obsidian texture updated, now appears more violet
• Helmets with Creeper detector improved: the Glowing effect disappears much faster after the detection conditions are no longer met

📦 Version 2.14.5

🐞 Fixed

• Fixed a conflict where the Energy Crystal failed to apply the Speed effect if the player was wearing boots with built-in togglable Speed, even when the effect was turned off.

📦 Version 2.14.4

🐞 Fixed

• Fixed a bug where breaking an Amethyst Cluster with any pickaxe from the mod always dropped 2 Amethyst Shards, as if it was broken without a pickaxe.

📦 Version 2.14.3

🐞 Fixed

• Fixed armor effect toggles not disabling infinite-duration status effects other than Levitation.

📦 Version 2.14.2

🐞 Fixed

• Fixed overly restrictive logic that prevented dropping blocks adjacent to water when the player was inside it.

📝 Improvements

• Players can now drop blocks holding back lava while inside lava.

📦 Version 2.14.1

🐞 Fixed

• Fixed an issue where players wearing Superyte Armor could get stuck with an infinite Levitation effect when hit by a shulker.
  • This situation should no longer occur.
  • If it does, the armor now correctly disables infinite Levitation effects, even if they were not applied by the armor itself.

📦 Version 2.14.0

📝 Improvements

• Improved safety logic for Aquarite pickaxes and shovels:
  • Tools now prevent destruction of blocks that would cause suspicious blocks above to fall and break.
  • Tools now avoid breaking blocks if doing so would cause falling blocks to fall and uncover water above.
• Improved safety logic for Rendelite pickaxes and shovels:
  • Tools now avoid breaking blocks if doing so would cause falling blocks to fall and uncover lava above.
• Improved safety logic for Superyte pickaxes and shovels:
  • Tools now prevent destruction of blocks that would cause suspicious blocks above to fall and break.
  • Tools now avoid breaking blocks if doing so would cause falling blocks to fall and uncover water or lava above.

📦 Version 2.13.3

📝 Improvements

• Drinking milk no longer resets extra hearts from Health Boost armor.
  • Extra hearts now remain filled (if your main health is full).

🐞 Fixed

• Changes regarding the following shovels behavior: using shovels on Farmland transforms it into Dirt Path.
  • The sound effect when performing the action is now played globally.
  • The behavior has been added to the tooltip of affected shovels.

🔊 Sound Improvements

• Many sound effects that were previously local (audible only to the player) are now global and can be heard by nearby players.

🛠️ Other Changes

• Default Jump Boost key KEY_J has been changed to KEY_C

📦 Version 2.13.1

📝 Improvements

• Enhanced the Track Layer staff:
  • Now supports placing wool carpets and slabs from the offhand.
  • Updated tooltip to reflect the expanded list of compatible blocks.
• Enhanced the Builder staff:
  • Can now place falling blocks, as long as there is a solid block beneath them.
  • Updated tooltip to reflect the expanded list of compatible blocks.

📦 Version 2.13.0

📝 Improvements

• Refined Limonite Sword behavior for better predictability:
  • Now cacti spawn only when the sword is used on sand while sneaking
  • In all other cases, the sword places cobwebs, avoiding unexpected cactus spawning
• Updated tooltip text to clearly explain the new conditional behavior.
• Improved sword effects behavior:
  • Cacti do not generate if there are adjacent blocks, preventing block overlap.
  • Cactus self-destruction timer now runs slower, ensuring no item drops are left behind as intended.
  • Cobweb and fire effects are now generated considering height differences within ±1 block, avoiding generation in mid-air or invalid positions.
• Changed sword effect activation rules regarding the offhand:
  • Effects now activate only if the second hand is empty or holds a Totem of Undying
  • Prevents accidental activation when holding other items (e.g. blocks or tools) in the offhand
  • This avoids unintended effects, like accidentally setting fire while trying to place torches
• Added a cooldown mechanic to the Bios Diamond and End Sapphire items to prevent immediate reuse of their effects.
  • Bios Diamond applies an Absorption effect lasting 2-10 seconds with a randomized amplifier, followed by a cooldown effect that lasts 5 seconds to enforce a delay between uses.
  • End Sapphire applies a Levitation effect with a reduced duration range of 2-10 seconds and a reduced amplifier range of 0-20, followed by a cooldown effect lasting 5 seconds to avoid spamming.
  • Cooldown effects are separate for different items to allow independent cooldown timers.
  • Added cooldown effect icons to reflect the cooldown system more clearly.

📦 Version 2.12.1

🐞 Fixed

• Blocks no longer drop experience when broken by enhanced tools with Silk Touch enchantment (e.g. tools that break multiple blocks at once).

📦 Version 2.12.0

📝 Improvements

• Allays spawned by Evoker's Amulet now despawn (if they’re not holding an item and haven’t been renamed):

  • after 5 minutes of being farther than 16 blocks from the player;
  • immediately if they fly farther than 60 blocks;
  • immediately when the player changes dimension, teleports, or exits the world.

• Allays spawned by Evoker's Amulet that are holding an item:

  • cannot be despawned, but are tracked to be removed later (once they are no longer holding an item);
  • remain tracked even after the player who summoned them leaves and rejoins the game (tracked allays are saved to disk in the tracked_allays.dat file);
  • can be excluded from the tracking system and remain in the world forever under certain conditions:
    • if the allay was unreachable (in an unloaded chunk of the same dimension) when the player’s world was loaded.
    • if the allay wasn't loaded within 1 second after the player joined the world.
    • or potentially, in other rare cases.

• Tooltip updated: Evoker Amulet has been renamed to Evoker's Amulet.

• Improved Belarusian localization: Allays are now called Спакаёўка, as originally intended.

📦 Version 2.11.2

🐞 Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the Saltpeter Block didn't drop anything when broken.

📦 Version 2.11.1

🐞 Fixes

• Fixed a bug where right-clicking the Smithing Table with armor in hand could accidentally equip the armor while also opening the custom menu.

📦 Version 2.11.0

⚒️ Structural Changes

• The former Block of Angel has been split into two separate blocks:
  • The Dormant Block of Angel – crafted item, inert by default.
  • The Block of Angel – activated version, only obtainable by using an Echo Shard.
• Functionality remains unchanged: once activated, the block despawns any monsters within a 70-block radius. Echo Shard is still not consumed on activation.

⚙️ Rod of Angel Crafting Adjusted

• The Smithing Table recipe for The Rod of Angel now explicitly requires the activated version of the block.
• This change closes a progression loophole:
  • Previously, it was possible to craft the Rod using an unactivated block and bypass the need to explore an Ancient City.
  • Now, players must obtain an Echo Shard before crafting the Rod, ensuring intended progression through all major danger zones.

🎯 Intent

This refactor reinforces the original vision:

• The Echo Shard is a required milestone;
• The Rod of Angel is a reward for completing key encounters, not a shortcut through them;
• Crafting is no longer a bypass — it's a culmination.

📦 Version 2.10.1

📝 Improvements

• When a player with full health puts on leggings that increase maximum health, their health bar will now remain full (with the bonus). Previously, it stayed at the original value.
• If the player had missing health, the health value remains unchanged as before.

📦 Version 2.10.0

🛠️ Changed

• Soaring Spore Essence no longer removes effects — it only applies Glowing and Slow Falling.
• Marine Crystal now cleanses all effects from mobs when used in mainhand.
• Both Soaring Spore Essence and Marine Crystal do not affect players.
• Soaring Spore Essence and Marine Crystal tooltips have been updated to reflect the changes.

📦 Version 2.9.1

🐞 Fixes

• Magnetic rods now cause exhaustion only when a block is affected in Magnetic Mode (no more stamina loss from blocked ores).

📦 Version 2.9.0 - The Lucky Update 😄

📝 Improvements

• The Luck effect can now prevent death (25% chance per level), teleporting the player to their saved respawn point with regeneration and temporary damage protection.
• Armor tooltips are now split into three pages:
  • Shift shows general information
  • Alt shows stats and upgrade materials
  • Ctrl shows additional lore
• Each armor piece now displays the item required for its upgrade directly in its tooltip.
• Updated chestplate names to better reflect their special effects and bonuses, e.g., using "with Slow Falling" for clarity.

📦 Version 2.8.3

🛠️ Changed

• Suspicious Sand (Warm Ocean): reduced the drop weight of the wooden hoe from 2 to 1 to maintain vanilla drop balance after adding custom items.

📦 Version 2.8.2

🐞 Fixes

• Planter, Builder, and Track Layer no longer cause player exhaustion when offhand items are not actually consumed.

📦 Version 2.8.1

📝 Improvements

• Harvested crops now drop toward the player when using a Planter. Drops are slightly randomized for more natural movement.
• Planter: planting and bonemealing behavior improved for smoother farming.
  • Can now bonemeal crops by clicking either the crop or the farmland.
  • Bonemealing no longer stops at empty farmland — skips it and continues.
  • Planting now works when clicking on already planted crops.
  • Grass and flowers are automatically cleared (without drops) during planting.

📦 Version 2.8.0

🛠️ Changed

• Rendelite and Superyte armor are now fire-resistant — they no longer take damage from fire.

🐞 Fixes

• Rendelite Helmet with Night Vision can now be enchanted via the Enchanting Table.

📝 Improvements

• Marine Rod and Aquarite Hoe can now place water between Suspicious Gravel blocks and can not longer place water between Red Sand and Dirt Path blocks.
• Planter can be enchanted with Fortune to harvest more crops.
• Planter, Builder, and Track Layer no longer consume items from the player's off-hand in Creative mode. These tools use the off-hand stack (e.g., seeds, bone meal, blocks, rails) to apply effects across multiple blocks, but in Creative mode, the stack will now remain unchanged.
• Planter now only drops crops matching the clicked plant type within its area of effect.

📦 Version 2.7.0

🛠️ Changed

• Rednelite, Diamite, Aquarite, Lymonite Armor Upgrade kits: now can be given by a leather worker as a gift when player has the 'Hero of the Village' status.
• Superyte Armor Upgrade kits: now can be given by an armorer as a gift when player has the 'Hero of the Village' status.
• Rednelite, Diamite, Aquarite, Lymonite, Superyte Tool Upgrade kits: now can be given by a weaponsmith or a toolsmith as a gift when player has the 'Hero of the Village' status.
• Armor and Tool Upgrade Kit tooltips have been updated to reflect the changes.

📦 Version 2.6.0

🛠️ Changed

• Tannery chest loot table updated: now any armor upgrade kit can be generated
  (Since no armorer workshops in vanilla villages contain a chest, armor upgrade kits — including those for non-leather armor — can now be found in tannery chests instead.)

📝 Improvements

• Added details regarding the SuperJump effect to Superite Armor tooltip
  (Clarifies that the first jump is normal, and Super Jump activates only on a second jump within 1 second.)

📦 Version 2.5.1

🐞 Fixes

• Fixed the behavior of rods underwater: they can no longer plant underwater, and now correctly transform Diamond Ore Block into Green Diamond Ore Block when used on underwater blocks.
• Fixed the behavior of swords: they can no longer apply their effects (planting cacti, placing cobwebs, or setting fire) on blocks submerged in water or lava.

📦 Version 2.5.0

✨ Added

• Breeze can now be added to the Block of Angel filter using a Breeze Rod (to prevent this type of monster from despawning).
• Breeze can be spawned by using a Breeze Rod on the Block of Devil.

🛠️ Changed

• Tooltips for the Block of Angel and Block of Devil have been updated with Breeze, and their monster lists have been completely rearranged.
• Increased chances of Smithing Upgrade Kits generating in the following chests: Buried Treasure, Nether Bridge, Underwater Ruin, Woodland Mansion.
• Green Diamond Ore: light level increased from 3 to 6.

📦 Version 2.4.0

🛠️ Changed

• Aquarite Helmet with Night Vision: now uses Elder Guardian Eye for the Night Vision modification instead of Sculk Sensor.
• ⚠️ Compatibility note: Previously crafted Aquarite Helmets with Night Vision used Sculk Sensor. After this update, disassembling such helmets with a Downgrade Smithing Kit will return an Elder Guardian Eye instead of the original Sculk Sensor.

✨ Added

• Rendelite Helmet with Night Vision has been added. This is a modified version of the Rendelite Helmet, crafted using an Elder Guardian Eye.
