[1.1.0] - 2026-09-29

New Features

• Forge 1.20.1 Support: Black Sun is now officially available for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 alongside Fabric.
• Crosshair Aiming: The staff now strikes directly where you are looking (up to 128 blocks away), with a red magic circle showing the impact point on the ground.
• Survival Crafting Recipe: You can now craft the Black Sun Staff in survival using 1 Nether Star, 2 Netherite Ingots, 2 Eyes of Ender, and 2 Blaze Rods.
• Creative Tab: Added a dedicated "Black Sun" tab in the Creative inventory.
• Advancement: Added the "Harbinger of the Eclipse" challenge advancement, unlocked upon obtaining the staff.
• Stats Tooltip: Hold Shift while hovering over the staff to see its cooldown, range, and explosion radius.
• Server Cancel Command: Server operators can run /blacksun cancel to stop an active cast and restore normal daylight immediately.
• VFX Style Option: Added a config option to switch between shockwave rings (default, shader-safe) and vertical energy walls.

Improvements & Fixes

• Thunder Volume Fixed: Storm and thunder audio now properly lowers to 5% during the ritual so the custom music track is clearly audible.
• Casting Animation: Added hand swing motion when using the staff.
• In-Game Settings: Added plain explanations for every option in the in-game config menu.
