Iourus Ores — Version 1.3.0

Mining Instability Update

Version 1.3.0 introduces a complete mining instability system, making underground exploration more dangerous, immersive, and strategic.

New Features

Mining Instability

• Added dynamic cave collapses triggered by mining activities.

• Introduced localized instability levels that influence collapse probability.

• Added small, medium, and large cave-ins affecting up to 64 blocks.

• Added secondary avalanches that can spread through unstable terrain.

• Introduced warning particles and sounds before collapses.

• Added false alarms to make underground exploration less predictable.

Falling Debris

• Falling rocks can physically strike and damage players.

• Armor reduces damage from falling debris.

• Collapsed materials remain in the world instead of disappearing.

• Debris can accumulate and obstruct underground passages.

• Improved debris persistence across chunk unloading and server restarts.

Mining Supports

• Added wooden mining supports that stabilize nearby terrain.

• Added reinforced supports with increased protection.

• Wooden supports protect an area within a 5-block radius.

• Reinforced supports extend protection to an 8-block radius.

• Supports prevent collapses from spreading into protected areas.

Camera Effects

• Added camera shake effects during nearby cave collapses.

• Camera shake intensity varies with distance.

• Added accessibility settings to disable camera shake.

Improvements

• Improved cave-in propagation and block selection.

• Added configurable limits to prevent excessive server load.

• Improved scheduling of simultaneous collapses.

• Improved compatibility with dedicated multiplayer servers.

• Added persistent tracking for active falling debris.

• Improved protection of player-built structures.

• Updated configuration examples and documentation.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed falling debris disappearing instead of settling in the world.

• Fixed incomplete cave-ins caused by premature job expiration.

• Fixed blocks remaining suspended after temporary destination obstructions.

• Fixed incorrect reservations after failed avalanches.

• Fixed missing block propagation after successful secondary avalanches.

• Fixed several missing copper item models and textures.

• Improved material conservation and prevention of duplicate debris.

Technical

• Updated for Minecraft 26.2 and NeoForge 26.2.0.88.

• Improved server-side processing and performance safeguards.

• Added extensive automated regression tests.

• Verified cave-in completion, mining support persistence, and debris recovery after server restarts.

Installation: Iourus Ores must be installed on both the client and server.
