🦖 ARKCraft v1.4.2 Patch Notes

🦕 Dinosaurs & Animations

• Overhauled Spinosaurus' flat sail into a true 3D volumetric model, fixing flat rendering issues.
• Fixed Oxalaia's unconscious knockout pose and physics.
• Adjusted T-Rex, Allosaurus, and large theropod tails from pointing awkwardly upward to a natural, ground-parallel horizontal posture.
• Smoothed out walking jitter (trampoline effect), foot-snapping, and excessive bouncing.
• Fixed walking loops and stuttering for small raptors.
• Updated Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx models, wings, and animations.
• Recovered high-res Blockbench textures and fully synchronized them between Java and Bedrock editions.
• Completely purged Attenborosaurus and Kronosaurus from the mod (cleaned up 72 unused files).

🛡️ Armor, Swords & Ore Balancing

• Introduced a progressive 7-tier alloy/ore system (from Antique Crystal to Universal/TEK) that preserves vanilla balance.
• Moved ingot crafting from underground mining to shapeless recipes at the Smithy with helpful tooltips.
• Separated the Refining Forge exclusively for melting operations.

🔫 Weapons, Ammunition & Saddles

• Resolved golden weapon recipe conflicts; every gun now requires its respective tier alloy.
• Added batch crafting for high-rate ammunition to match consumption (e.g., 10x for 9mm/5.56, 5x for heavy ammo, etc.).
• Fixed bow item tags so standard bows can seamlessly recognize and fire all tranquilizer arrows.
• Separated and fixed recipe conflicts for 23 uncraftable dinosaur saddles.

⚡ Stability, UI & Optimization

• Increased Netty read timeout from 30 seconds to 300 seconds (5 minutes) to prevent Alt-Tab or idle timeouts.
• Isolated the antidote syringe from the core mod to run exclusively with the Infection addon.
• Cleaned up engram tree progression bottlenecks and level locks.
• Updated Smithy GUI and synchronized the S+ Resource Puller with new recipes.
• Completed Bedrock Edition parity for all armor, swords, scripts, and recipes.
• Audited and polished Java and Bedrock language files, fixing all missing translation keys.
