EnderIO Legacy Darksteel Changelog

0.4.9 — Powered Tool Durability Absorption

Added

• Restored legacy-style Empowered durability protection for Dark Steel tools and weapons.
• Pickaxes, axes, shovels, shears, bows and swords can now use stored FE to absorb tool durability damage.
• Tool durability absorption uses the same Empowered chances as the armor system:
  • Empowered I: 50%
  • Empowered II: 60%
  • Empowered III: 70%
  • Empowered IV: 85%
  • Empowered V: 95%

Changed

• Energy is now consumed only when durability damage is actually absorbed.
• Removed the older fixed per-block mining energy drain from pickaxes, axes and shovels.
• Normal tool usage is now handled through the powered durability absorption path.
• Removed the older fixed bow-shot energy drain.
• Bow durability protection now uses the same powered durability absorption logic as the other tools.

Kept

• Explosive Mining extra-block behavior remains separate:
  • 20 FE per extra block broken.
  • 30% durability chance per extra block.
• If Explosive Mining applies durability damage, Empowered can now absorb that durability damage using stored FE.

0.4.8 — Powered Armor Absorption

Added

• Restored Ender IO 1.12-style Empowered armor power absorption.
• Empowered armor can now use stored FE to absorb armor durability damage.
• Armor durability absorption uses the legacy chances:
  • Empowered I: 50%
  • Empowered II: 60%
  • Empowered III: 70%
  • Empowered IV: 85%
  • Empowered V: 95%

Changed

• Armor energy absorption is applied to durability damage, not as a free direct reduction to player damage.
• Kept the powered Armor and Armor Toughness bonuses restored in version 0.4.7.
• Padding remains removed.

Changed

0.4.5 — The Ender Teleport Parity

Fixed

• Added missing Enderman teleport cancellation for entities hit by a powered Dark Steel / The Ender sword.
• Endermen hit by a powered sword are now marked and prevented from teleporting away, matching the legacy Ender IO behavior more closely.

0.4.4 — Legacy Explosive Mining Parity

Changed

  • Explosive only: cubic AOE.

  • Explosive + Depth: narrow forward-depth shape.
  • Explosive + Carpeting + Depth: combined plane/depth behavior.
• Explosive AOE now uses the side of the block being mined.
• Explosive Mining now costs 20 FE per extra block broken.
• Explosive Mining now uses a legacy-style target list instead of breaking any block the tool can mine.
• Dirt-like targets are handled through the Spoon upgrade, matching the legacy target logic more closely.

• Explosive Mining uses the legacy 30% durability chance per extra block.

  • radius: 12

0.4.0 — Server Smithing Conflict Fix

Fixed
