Cataclysm But Better

Cataclysm But Better turns all Vanilla and L_Ender's Cataclysm boss battles into voice-acted cinematic cutscenes with custom elemental weapon slash VFX, legendary loot beams, and full damage protection.

✨ 1. New Boss Relic & Weapon VFX System

Implemented across BossItemVfxRegistry, BossItemClientVfx, and BossItemServerVfx with 12 bespoke elemental VFX categories covering all Vanilla and L_Ender's Cataclysm boss items:

  1. Legendary Dropped Loot Beams, Ground Halos & Glow (spawnLootBeamAndHalo & onEntityJoinLevel):
    • Whenever any Vanilla or Cataclysm boss drop is on the ground (ItemEntity), it automatically gets a glowing outline, a rotating double-helix ground halo, and a 3.5-block vertical elemental loot pillar matching its boss theme so boss loot is never lost in lava, explosions, or darkness.
  2. 130° Elemental Weapon Slash Crescent Arcs (spawnWeaponSwingSlashArc):
    • Swinging any boss weapon sweeps a 19-point elemental slash crescent across your view plane:
      • Ignis (The Incinerator, Bulwark of the Flame, Ignitium gear): Dual-phase orange FLAME + cyan SOUL_FIRE_FLAME + LAVA sparks.
      • Netherite Monstrosity (Infernal Forge, Monstrous Horn, Lava Power Cell): Molten LAVA + FLAME + forge smoke.
      • Ender Guardian (Gauntlet of Guard / Bulwark / Maelstrom, Void Core, Void Forge): REVERSE_PORTAL gravity singularity + DRAGON_BREATH.
      • The Harbinger (Meat Shredder, Laser Gatling, Wither/Void Assault Shoulder Weapons): Crimson laser dust (DustParticleOptions) + high-voltage ELECTRIC_SPARK.
      • The Leviathan (Tidal Claws, Coral Spear/Bardiche, Athame, Abyssal Sacrifice): Bioluminescent GLOW + DRAGON_BREATH + NAUTILUS rift.
      • Ancient Remnant (Wrath of the Desert, Sandstorm in a Bottle, Necklace of the Desert): Golden sandstorm dust + ENCHANT hieroglyphs.
      • Maledictus (Soul Render, Annihilator, Cursed Bow, Cursium & Black Steel gear): Spectral SOUL_FIRE_FLAME + SNOWFLAKE blizzard + SOUL spirits.
      • Scylla (Ceraunus, Astrape, Charybdis, Lacrima, Storm Eye): Chain-lightning ELECTRIC_SPARK + SPLASH + storm CLOUD.
      • Vanilla Relics (Nether Star, Beacon, Dragon Egg/Breath, Elytra, Echo Shard, Recovery Compass, Trident, Heart of the Sea, Conduit): Starlight/Soul-Fire, Astral Void, Deep Dark Sculk Sonar, and Atlantean Maelstrom trails.
  3. Server-Side Hit Shockwaves, Eruption Pillars & Ability Rings (onLivingDamagePost & onRightClickItem):
    • Striking an enemy with a boss weapon broadcasts an expanding 16-point elemental shockwave ring, a vertical eruption pillar, and a layered impact sound to all nearby players. Right-clicking abilities triggers a radial empowerment ring.
  4. Ambient Hand & Armor Auras + Custom Tooltip Frames (onRenderTooltipColor & onItemTooltip):
    • Holding a boss item or wearing boss armor (Ignitium, Cursium, Monstrous, Elytra) emits non-obstructive hand and footstep particles, and every boss item features a custom metallic/elemental tooltip border with its ✦ Boss Relic classification.
