🦖 ArkCraft — v1.4.3 Patch Notes

Multi-Platform Release: This update is fully synchronized across Minecraft Java (1.20.1 Forge & 1.21.1 NeoForge) and Minecraft Bedrock Edition!

🧭 1. Ragnarok World & Exploration System

• Ragnarok Compass (arkcraft:ragnarok_compass):

  • Added as a Level 1 Engram. Craftable on a 3x3 Crafting Table using 1x Compass and 4x Iron Ingots.

  • Right-clicking scans for the nearest Ragnarok structure within a 150-chunk (~2400 blocks) radius, outputting distance, cardinal direction, and coordinates to the Action Bar and chat.

  • Triggers a visual and auditory achievement toast (UI_TOAST_CHALLENGE_COMPLETE) when within 35 blocks of a structure.

• 3 New Natural Ragnarok Structures (NBT & Worldgen):

  • Viking Watchtower (viking_watchtower.nbt): Spawns naturally in cold biomes and mountainous terrain.

  • Canyon Sanctuary (canyon_sanctuary.nbt): Stone sanctuary tucked into dry valley and canyon floors.

  • Highlands Cairn (highlands_cairn.nbt): Ancient burial cairns located in highland plateaus.

• Custom Chest Loot Tables (loot_tables/chests):

  • Configured specialized loot pools containing ingots, fossils, dinosaur parts, and high-tier materials for each structure type.

🛢️ 2. Oil & Automation Infrastructure

• Natural Oil Resources (Worldgen):

  • Oil Nodes (oil_node): Generates natural clusters (oil_node_cluster) on ocean floors and snowy shores. Underwater nodes emit realistic black oil bubbles (SQUID_INK and BUBBLE_COLUMN_UP) up the water column; yields crude oil when mined.

  • Oil Veins (oil_vein): Rare, massive underground oil deposits (oil_vein_node) found in deep terrain. Designed for pump installation.

• Oil Pump (oil_pump):

  • Added as a Level 40 Smithy Engram (crafted with Piston, Iron, Cementing Paste, Wood, and Leather).

  • Operates only when placed over an Oil Vein and connected to the ARK Electrical Network (ElectricalNetworkHelper).

  • Emits working particles and smoke; pumps 1x Crude Oil into its internal buffer per cycle (Max capacity: 100).

  • Right-clicking collects stored oil directly into the player's inventory.

  • Integrated with ArkResourcePuller for automatic resource pulling from Smithys and crafting tables.

🖥️ 3. Advanced HUD Configuration Menu (ArkHudConfigScreen)

• Customization Screen:

  • Accessible directly from the mod list or the Character Stats screen (I key).

  • HUD Toggle: Instantly hide/show all ARK overlays.

  • Numeric Mode: Toggle numerical values on status bars.

  • Dynamic Opacity: Option to disable dimming during safe moments / brightening on damage.

  • Mount HUD: Independently toggle dinosaur riding bars.

  • X / Y Offset Adjustment: Reposition the HUD anywhere on screen.

• Mount & Target Overlay Improvements:

  • ArkDinoRidingOverlay: Bars dynamically expand based on dinosaur name length (responsive 108px–148px panel).

  • ArkDinoTargetOverlay: Spyglass dinosaur detection range optimized to 240 blocks; raycast targeting refreshed.

⚡ 4. Crystal Teleporter & Networking

• Crystal Teleporter: Added ambient world particles (animateTick) to the block model.

• Dedicated Server Fix: Level-up notifications (notification.arkcraft.*) moved to a safe packet structure (KEY|...) to prevent client crashes on multiplayer servers.

⚖️ 5. Balances, Code Cleanup & Localizations

• Unused Asset Cleanup: Removed obsolete Attenborosaurus and Kronosaurus code assets, models, and saddles from the codebase.

• Firearm Durability Balance: Adjusted firearm durability values (Five-Seven set to 250, Shotguns to 350, etc.).

• Ingot Tooltips (ArkIngotItem): Added descriptive hover text explaining crafting recipes for Ancient Crystal, Blood, Blue Element, Mythological, Sun, Special, and Universal ingots.

• Smithy & Furnace UI: Updated recipe lists inside the Smithy and Refining Forge to be bilingual (TR/EN).
