Arcane Realms 1.2.1

Crystal Dungeon

• Expanded and refined the Reception, descent, Guardian Chamber, and reusable challenge areas.
• Improved stair transitions, landings, supports, entrances, containment fields, and the connections between dungeon sections.
• Reworked Violet Energy Barriers so connected faces render correctly across gates, containment fields, edges, and corners.
• Improved encounter state, chamber protection, progression, persistent loot, and compatibility with previously placed dungeon sections.
• Added the Prismatic Guardian's Repulsion Punch and Resonant Grab attacks. Resonant Grab now visibly holds and throws its captured target.

Creatures and animation

• Introduced a keyframed full-body animation system for the Amethyst Warrior, Amethyst Archer, Amethyst Crawler, Prismatic Guardian, and Prismatic Golem.
• Added directional locomotion, smoother movement transitions, foot planting, jumping, falling, landing, damage reactions, death animations, and recovery from interrupted attacks where applicable.
• Improved animation synchronization so players who begin tracking a creature during an attack can reconstruct its current pose correctly.
• Reworked the Amethyst Warrior's Heavy Slash, Thrust, and Sweeping Slash.
• Reworked the Amethyst Archer's standard shot and Triple Volley, including bow-string, held-arrow, aiming, release, and recoil synchronization.
• Reworked the Amethyst Crawler's movement, Light Beam, and Momentum Headbutt.
• Reworked the Prismatic Guardian's melee, spellcasting, barrage, summoning, Repulsion Punch, and Resonant Grab presentation.
• Added complete Prismatic Golem animation sequences for Slam, Prismatic Drop, Energy Rend, and Halberd Combo, with the halberd following the authoritative impact and projectile timings.

Core changes

• Moved Crusher, Arcane Furnace, Energy Battery, Arcane Coordinator, Universal Arcane Connector, Machine Casing, and metal dust processing to the standalone Arcane Realms: Industrialized addon.
• Kept the Arcane Workbench registered as deprecated compatibility content, while removing its recipe and creative-tab entry.
• Fixed NeoForge pickaxe-mining tags and block drops after the industrial content separation.
• Improved deterministic resource validation for dungeons, models, textures, animations, tags, and the core/addon boundary.

Important update notes

• This file contains the base mod only. Install Arcane Realms: Industrialized 1.2.1 separately if you want the machines and logistics systems.
• Industrial blocks from the earlier 1.2.0 Alpha used temporary arcane_realms IDs. They are not automatically remapped to the new arcane_realms_industrialized IDs. Back up important worlds and remove or relocate old machines before updating.
• World-generation changes apply only to newly generated dungeon instances or chunks unless an existing encounter includes an explicit compatibility path.
