Biomes O' Classic 3.0.0 — The Skysea Update

The Promised Land needs a new world. Its world height changed (bottom went from y-64 to y-192, total height 384 to 512), so existing Promised Land dimensions will not line up with newly generated chunks.

Overworld saves are unaffected.

New biomes

• Skysea a deep sea in the Promised Land, with a sunken sea floor, reefs and flooded caverns beneath it.
• Skybeach the shore that rings the Skysea.

New mob

• Shrimp a small, harmless swimmer of the Skysea. Drops raw shrimp. Spawned with shrimp roe.

New structures

• Abyss Ruin a ruin under the sea, marked from the beach above.
• Sunken Skysea ruins scattered remains of a drowned civilisation on the sea floor.
• Urns in both sets hold loot.
  
  
  

  The Shadow Urn

  Making one

  • Craft an Urn from abyssal aqua stone and a slab.
  • Ring it with eight abyssal goop to get a Shadow Urn.

  Attuning it

  • Right-click with a gem to set its channel. Sneak-click to take the gem back.
  • Eight channels, one per gem: amethyst, malachite, peridot, ruby, sapphire, tanzanite, topaz and azurite.
  • Without a gem it is just an urn, holding its own contents.

  What a channel is

  • Every shadow urn on the same gem shares one inventory, worldwide and across dimensions.
  • Each channel holds nine item slots, a fluid tank and an energy buffer.
  • Channels are shared by everyone on the server, not private like an ender chest. That is the point: the urn at the far end does not have to belong to you.
  • Hoppers, pipes and cables can all push and pull, so a channel is a wireless link between two machines that never have to be in the same chunk.

  It knows when you are there

  • Walk within five blocks and a shadow urn wakes: it rocks on its base, breathes out a little shadow, and lifts its gem into the air so you can read its channel from across the room. Step away and the gem settles back inside.

New items

• Pearl Staff the sea's counterpart to the Shadow Staff. Three attacks, and it lets you breathe and move freely underwater while held.
