🔮 Roadmap — What's Coming in v0.9: The Shadows of Rednal & The Haunted Seas

1. Rednal's Dynamic Psychological Stalking System:

   • Player Paranoia Meter: Increases the longer a player survives in the Locus Eclipsis without resting in Sleeping Bags.
   • Phase 1 (The Distant Eye): Rednal stalks at the edge of the render distance, vanishing into smoke when looked at directly.
   • Phase 2 (Whispers & Hallucinations): Flickering torches, false footsteps behind the player, and eerie cosmic chat messages.
   • Phase 3 (Physical Manifestation): Surprise teleports, shadow clones, and brief gravitational distortions in combat.
   • Warding Mechanics: Celestial Resonance Bell and Eclipse Ash Circles to banish Rednal's presence.

2. The Haunted Seas & The Caleuche:

   • New Aquatic Biome — Sea of Eternal Mist: Deep violet ocean shrouded in peaceful, natural dense fog (decoupled from entity movement).
   • Active Ship Boarding: Board the sailing Caleuche in open waters via ropes and ladders while spectral music plays.
   • Ghost Merchants: Phantom sailors on deck trading rare ocean relics for Eclipse Shards.
   • Mini-Boss — The Phantom Quartermaster: Defend the ship's hold to claim the Caleuche's Nautical Log.

3. The Abyssal Pinnacle Tier (Blood Obsidian & Void Crimson Crystal):

   • Official Naming & Lore: Final lore integration and naming for the deep abyssal "no-mineral".
   • Worldgen: Balanced abyssal deepslate ore vein generation and harvest mechanics.
   • Pixel Art Overhaul: Ritual chiseled block with glowing occult core, faceted crystal prism, and molten blood ingot.
   • Custom Volumetric 3D Armor: Complete model fix (GeckoLib bone rotation corrections, curved demonic horns, floating blade mantle, and layered pauldrons).

4. Eclipse Forge Transmutation Mechanics:

   • Full in-game interactive GUI and crafting workflow: Netherite \(\rightarrow\) Eclipse Tier \(\rightarrow\) Blood Obsidian 3D Pinnacle Tier.
   • Cosmic energy validation (requires active Solar Eclipse or presence within the Locus Eclipsis) and catalyst consumption (Blood Buckets & Crystals).

5. New Monsters & Spawn Corrections:

   • Howling Shadows: Blind stalkers in the Plains of Silence that hunt players by sprinting/jumping noise.
   • Cult Gargoyles: Stone statues inside cathedrals that awaken if altars are looted.
   • Cultist Spawn Rework: Total fix for cultists spawning as massive "walls" at water level; restricted exclusively to cult structures, temples, and dedicated spawners.
