IAF: Bond Beyond

## 0.2.0 Beta — Vanilla Ocean Edition 🌊🐉

Introduces a version of the full 0.2.0 update balanced for standard Minecraft oceans, without requiring Tectonic.

### Added

- Sea Serpent Steel, an underwater forge, and seven colors of forge bricks.

- Sea Serpent Steel weapons, tools, bows, arrows, and player armor.

- Sea Serpent Bone and Blood Swords.

- Fire, Ice, Lightning Dragonsteel, and Sea Serpent Steel shields with elemental retaliation.

- Netherite and Sea Serpent Steel equipment for Sea Serpents and dragons.

- Harvestable Sea Serpent corpses, skeletons, blood, bones, meat, and placeable skulls.

- Dragon Seekers with multiple detection tiers.

- A bilingual English/Vietnamese field guide, granted once per player per world.

### Changed

- Sea Serpent breath applies Drowning, with longer duration at higher stages.

- Added elemental damage matchups and matching-armor protection against weakness bonuses.

- Replaced affected lightning weapons’ sky-bolt attacks with visible chain-lightning arcs.

- Expanded bubble erosion to stage-scaled areas: 3×3×3, rounded 5×5×5, and rounded 7×7×7.

- Erosion converts dirt → gravel → sand, one step per impact, respecting mobGriefing.

- Improved Sea Serpent armor textures and added separate fin-root armor coverage.

- Wild spawn ages vary within valid growth ranges while remaining consistent with size and stage.

### Fixes and Improvements

- Nearby eligible Sea Serpents hold position while powering a working forge in Wander/Staying mode.

- Incomplete forge brick layers no longer open the forge GUI.

- Preserved death size through corpse, skeleton, and skull harvesting and placement.

- Removed the field guide’s crafting recipe and prevented repeated login/respawn gifts.

### Vanilla Ocean Adjustments

- Removed the Tectonic requirement.

- Eggs require at least 8 continuous water blocks above them.

- Pressure remains safe up to 32 water blocks above the egg.

- Reduced pressure risk beyond the safe depth.

- Updated the field guide to match this edition’s incubation settings.

- Preserved ocean biome requirements, temperature-based incubation speed, and saved hatching progress.
