The Bygone

## **Updates in 1.3**

### Greetings all! It's been a while since the last -major- update, so do we have some changes in store!
### We have changed how the Bygone generates as whole entirely, reworked the Amber Desert biome, revamped the Ancient Hook, added a new mob and so much more!
### PLEASE keep in mind you WILL have to delete your /bygone/ dimension folder before updating! Some of the changes will have made things unstable in older worlds!
