Majestic

v0.0.0-beta.56 - Phase 2 of the Portal

Added

• The Constructo's Tower. A seven-floor Arcane tower on the surface (59×114×59), climbed from the inside, with its own loot and spawners. At the top, touch the Constructo Invocation Stone to wake the Constructo, the champion of the Order: it strikes, slams the ground, fires an energy beam and calls reinforcements. It always drops the Book of the Constructo.
• Phase 2 of the Portal, complete. The Receptacle of the Depths now flies out of the altar and lands where the first one stood, and fills a much larger arch (99 celestial and 24 infernal stones, loaded in rounds). Then a new Almanac chapter, IV. The Constructo's Book, points you to the tower.
• Swap the Almanac for the Constructo's Book on the Construction Altar: the Portal's inner frame (70 stones) rises on its own, one by one, and the Spectral Constructo appears in the courtyard. Walk up to it to earn Phase 2 Complete and open chapters V. Phase 2 Complete and III. Phase 3: Searching for the Ancient Plans. It comes back every time you walk into the Portal.
• Redesigned deep dungeons (from the workshop): the Celestial Sanctum (22 pieces, 211×170) and the Abyssal Citadel (18 pieces, 200×222), with five new creatures (see Majestic Bestiary). The inner-arch stones are spread over their chests: 8 per chest in the celestial one and 2 in the demonic one.

Changed

• The Portal can now generate in any Overworld biome, so it is found much closer than before.
• The sky island's waterfalls now start to fall from the surface when the island generates, instead of coming pre-placed and frozen.
• Altar: right-click on the body of the altar opens its window; right-click on a book reads it. The Almanac now stands on the left and the second book on the right.

Notes

• Requires Minecraft 1.21.1 and NeoForge 21.1.259 or newer (Java 21), Majestic Core beta.24 and Majestic Bestiary beta.17, plus its usual dependencies (Astral Core, Almanac Core, Expedition Core, Majestic Terrain, Regalia Slots API, Vellumli).
• Test build: the whole Phase 2 route has not been played through yet. Structures already generated in an old world keep their old layout; explore new chunks to see the new dungeons and the tower.
