All notable changes to Astra Shastra will be documented here. This project follows Semantic Versioning.

[0.1.0-alpha] — 2026-05-22

First public release. Validates the mod packaging + CurseForge publish pipeline before broadening the weapon set.

Added

• Sudarshana Chakra family — three tiers of Krishna's divine discus:
  • Wooden Chakra — 2 sweep damage, 2.5-block radius, 2.0 s cooldown, 60 durability. Right-click triggers a ring of flying wooden sticks.
  • Iron Chakra — 5 sweep damage, 3.0-block radius, 1.75 s cooldown, 250 durability. Ring of iron nuggets + metallic sparks.
  • Sudarshana Chakra (divine) — 8 sweep damage, 4.0-block radius, 1.5 s cooldown, unbreakable, fire-resistant, Epic rarity. Ring of end-rod sparkles + dragon-breath + flame (renders in water).
• Crafting recipes for all three tiers (wood-and-stick / iron-and-stick / gold-block-diamond-nether-star).
• "Astra Shastra" creative tab between Tools and Combat, with the Sudarshana Chakra as its icon.
• Mod logo displayed in the in-game Mods list.

Targets

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.230+
• Java 21+

Known limitations

• Right-click behavior is currently a radial AOE sweep (the lore-faithful throwable-returning-projectile is planned for v0.2).
• No custom melee attack-damage attribute yet — only the right-click sweep scales by tier. Vanilla melee attack uses default item damage.
• No Forge 1.20.1 backport yet (planned).

Roadmap (next)

• v0.2 — Gandiva (3 tiers, bow), Kaumodaki (3 tiers, mace), Vajra (divine lightning weapon), Brahmastra (charged divine AOE missile). Throwable-returning projectile for divine Chakra.
• v0.3 — Mahabharat-themed armor sets (Karna's Kavacha, Arjuna's quiver).
• v0.4 — Boss mobs: Bhishma, Karna, Duryodhana.
• v1.0 — Full Kurukshetra dimension.
