Exnergy's Sift Version

# The Sift 1.1.0

## ⛈️ New: Soul Storms
- A dimension-wide **Soul Storm** now sweeps across the Sift every 3 in-game days and lasts 20 real-time minutes
- Dark clouds roll in, the sky and fog dim, soul rain falls and lightning strikes, growing fiercer in the final minute
- Waves of monsters and even **bosses** hunt you during the storm
- Enemy health and bonus XP scale with your level (higher level = tougher fights, bigger rewards)
- Bonus XP grows up to ×2.5 as the storm nears its end
- The **Sift Tides** affect every storm: easier on Flow, deadlier on Endure
- Two warnings (5 and 3 minutes) before it begins
- A live timer on the HUD shows the time to the next storm or the time left in the current one
- Its own soundtrack, *Cyan Tempest*, plays only during storms
- Storms unlock once a player in the Sift reaches level 15 (always active in Creative)
- **New reward: Soul Storm Trophy.** Survive a storm without dying and defeat at least 75% of the monsters sent after you
- New advancement: **Eye of the Storm**
- New commands: `/siftstorm query`, `/siftstorm stop` (available to everyone), `/siftstorm start` (operators)

## 🗺️ New Biome: Glimmering Hollow
- A deep underground lush cavern, far below the surface and abysses, under humid regions
- A great glowing **Ichor lake** with grounded islands, soul flames, hanging vines and Sift Lanterns
- Grown with Sift plants plus two new ones:
  - **Glowcap**: glowing and harmless
  - **Thornbloom**: hurts and slows anyone standing in it

## 🐾 New Creatures
- **Burstpuff**: a yellow flying puffer that attacks up close and **explodes like a Creeper when it dies**
- **Spitgob**: walks on two legs and **spits** damaging globs from long range
- **Gnasher**: a tall, boxy biter with a yellow head and a huge jaw on its lower body. Every bite rings with a metal clang
- **Gnashling**: the short, fast cousin of the Gnasher, with a giant biting head
- **Sculk Blob**: a small sculk cube summoned only by the **Sculk Colossus** during its fight

## 🔄 Creature Changes
- **Puffleece** now has two greenish pillars with pink tips on its back
- **Lapjaw** is now passive and spawns much more often
- **Ichor Lurker** is now neutral and only fights back when attacked
- **Spineleaper** and **Husk Revenant** have been removed

## 🌀 Redesigned Rift
- The Rift is now a blocky tear of glowing orange squares that flicker and drift
- Orange sparks fade into the air, with occasional electric crackles

## 🌱 New Blocks & Items
- **Sift Coffer**: a glowing storage barrel made from White Willow
- **Rosy Grass Set**: Rosy Grass Block, Rosy Grass, Tall Rosy Grass and Rosy Vines, a lighter shade of the crimson grass
  - Found in Humbler Huskland, Singer's Meadow and the Glimmering Hollow
- **Sift Dirt**: grassy surfaces now sit on a proper dirt layer, like vanilla, instead of grass under grass
- Glowcap crafts into Cyan Dye, Thornbloom into Red Dye

## ✨ Visual Improvements
- **Ichor** now glows at full brightness and gives off soft sparkles instead of lava particles
- Auroras step aside during Soul Storms

## 🛠️ Fixes
- Sift plants no longer float in the air when the block under them is removed, and can no longer be placed in mid-air
- Rifts left open when the game closed no longer stay in the world forever. They now vanish on their own
- Soul Storm state no longer carries over between different worlds
- Mod messages (Soul Mender, Rift, Echo Flute, Tide Clock, Rift Compass) no longer get instantly erased by the HUD. They now stay on screen for 3 seconds
- Music disc descriptions now show only the song titles
