Ascending Fishers Core

Ascending Fishers 0.4.1

This update focuses on improving early-game progression, fishing balance, automation access, renewable resources, and several progression fixes.

Early Fishing Balance

• Increased the custom starter-resource chance when fishing in normal Water from 60% to 80%.

• Rebalanced normal Water starter resources:

  • String is now the most common early resource.
  • Dirt, Cobblestone, Flint, and Saplings remain available.

• Reduced the amount of early-game Cod and Salmon by allowing fewer catches to fall through to the vanilla fishing table.

• Normal Water Auto Angler catches now have a 70% base chance to produce starter resources.

• Updated displayed JEI fishing chances to match the new balance.

Dirt Water Tree Expansion

• Dirt Water can now provide all eight vanilla tree starters:

  • Oak Sapling
  • Spruce Sapling
  • Birch Sapling
  • Jungle Sapling
  • Acacia Sapling
  • Dark Oak Sapling
  • Cherry Sapling
  • Mangrove Propagule

• Saplings and propagules are now much more common from Dirt Water, making it the main early-game source for tree variety.

Earlier Auto Angler

• Reworked the Auto Angler recipe for much earlier progression.

• New recipe uses:

  • 4 Iron Ingots
  • 1 Gold Ingot
  • 1 Redstone Block
  • 2 basic Anglers Poles

• Removed the previous Iron Block and Gold Block requirements.

• Updated Auto Angler progression tracking so automated catches can now be detected during the early-game progression.

• Moved the hidden automated-catch advancement support from the later progression into Chapter 2 support.

• The Auto Angler is now intended to become available near the end of the Flint tier, before the Iron Anglers Pole.

Renewable Lava

• Added a renewable Lava Bucket recipe.
• 4 Magma Cream placed around an empty Bucket now crafts 1 Lava Bucket.
• This provides a renewable lava path using Magma Cream obtained through Soul Sand Water instead of requiring naturally generated lava.

HUD Improvements

• Adjusted the custom health HUD layout.
• Moved the armor bar above the compact heart display for better visibility and spacing.

Progression and Compatibility Fixes

• Improved several progression checks and prerequisites used by Ascending Fishers systems.
• Corrected Eyes of Ender progression checks.
• Improved Endless Leviathan progression and summon requirement handling.
• Endless Leviathan summoning no longer restricts the player to a specific armor set.
• Corrected Leviathan weapon/stat progression checks.
• Updated Heart of the Ascended Ocean progression support used by late-game content.
• Improved progression support for Inferium, Prosperity, and later modded-resource paths.
• Various internal advancement, recipe, JEI, and progression cleanup.

Version

• Updated Ascending Fishers core mod version to 0.4.1.
