Flywheels of Fate (Steampunk RPG)

Version 1.1.0 — Major Steampunk & Optimization Update

New Content:

• Steam Grenade: Added a brand new throwable weapon! Releases a massive cloud of steam upon explosion, dealing damage and knocking back nearby entities. Features custom sounds, particles, and crafting recipe. Added to the creative tab.
• Oil Slicks: Sludge bombs now coat the floor in oil slicks, applying Slowness III and blocking jumps. Slicks dry up and evaporate over time on random ticks to optimize server load.

Steampunk Monument Overhaul & Fixes:

• Symmetrical Tower Roofs: Re-engineered the tower roofs to form a perfect nested copper slab step-pyramid instead of cross-shapes.
• No Roof Gaps: Connected the dome roof directly to the square outer walls, sealing all vertical air gaps.
• Straight Corridors & Doorways: Realigned division doorways with straight corridors at x = ±10 and z = ±10.
• Redstone Lever Puzzle Room: Overhauled the SW Room into a spacious 11x11 chamber with a 7x7 lava pit. The single trapped chest is blocked by a block directly above it that retracts only when a hidden lever is flipped.
• Unlootable Dispensers: Housed all hallway and puzzle room dispensers behind Iron Bars, preventing players from looting their inventories while allowing them to fire.
• Observer-based Traps: Corridor tripwires replaced with Stone Pressure Plates running Observers directly beneath them.
• Cleaned up Lighting: Floating lanterns lowered to the floor in towers, hung properly from ceilings in the basement entrance, and removed from main hall columns.
• Rarer Generation: Increased rarity filter chance from 350 to 1000 per chunk to make finding the monument a true achievement.

Balance, Localization & Performance:

• Aetherial Capacity: Maximum Aetherial Energy capacity increased to 300.0F (HUD and Altar logic updated).
• Overheat Perspective Fix: Particles no longer obstruct first-person view, keeping the camera clear while remaining visible in third-person/on mobs. Orange vignette remains active.
• Directional Chrono Altar: Altar blocks can now be rotated. All messages extracted to translation files (fully translated into EN, UA, and RU).
• TPS Optimization: Optimized Time Stop particle spam by 95% and capped frozen entity tick logic to 15 mobs to prevent server lag.
• Chunk Generation Crash Fix: De-scheduled synchronous entity spawns during monument generation to prevent chunk-loading deadlocks and save corruption.
• Recipe Rebalancing: Made high-tier steam utility items more expensive and slightly adjusted the Aether Core recipe. Jetpack steam consumption increased.
