Majestic

v0.2.0 - Act I: The Sleeping Portal (Phases 1 & 2)

For Minecraft 1.21.1 / NeoForge 21.1.x.

The first stable release of Majestic. Act I is playable end to end through Phase 2: from the first page taken from the undead to the finished inner arches of the Arcane Portal, the floating Sky Island, the two deep dungeons and the Constructo's echo.

Included in this release

• The Almanac — a progressive in-game guide, in English and Spanish, that unlocks chapter by chapter as you recover the Order's pages, with entries for structures, spells, objects and the Bestiary.
• The journey of Act I — Fallen Shrines, the Observatory and the Warden of the Gate, the Watchers' Vault, the Arcane Portal, the Lantern-Bearer and the two first phases of the Portal's reconstruction.
• Eight structures — Fallen Shrine, Observatory, Watchers' Vault, Arcane Portal, Sky Island, Celestial Sanctum, Abyssal Citadel and the Constructo's Tower. The Observatory and the Portal are placed on deterministic rings around the origin.
• Bosses and guardians — the Warden of the Gate in the Observatory, the Celestial Guardian and the Demon King in the deep dungeons, and the Constructo in its tower.
• Starlight magic — four spells (Bolt, Ward, Reveal, Surge), the global Essence resource, the Starlight Focus, the engraving ritual and the Starlight research node.
• Portal reconstruction — Phase 1 (the fourteen facade stones and the Receptacle) and Phase 2 (the Sky Island, the Construction Altar, the inner arches and the Spectral Constructo).

Fixed since 0.0.0-beta.63

• Lantern-Bearer: the Lantern Page and the Illumination Stone are handed over again, once per Portal. The "already met" check compared text against NBT string tags and could never match, so the handover guard skipped every delivery.
• Lantern-Bearer: met marks left without a completed handover are discarded, so an existing save can finish the encounter.
• Construction Altar: placing it inside the Arcane Portal now shows a title card in the middle of the screen — "We feel incomplete." / "We need the Almanac." — in English and Spanish.
• Construction Altar: using the altar again with its books already in place re-runs the chapter announcements, so a book set down before its chapter unlocked no longer leaves the story stuck.
• Almanac: Chapter III, Phase 3 now ends with a note that Phases 1 and 2 are complete and Phase 3 is in development.

Notes

• Phase 3 — The Ancient Plans is in development and will arrive in a future update. The book marks where the stable story ends for now.
• Requires Majestic Core 0.0.0-beta.30 or newer, Expedition Core 0.0.0-beta.6 or newer and Vellumli 1.0.0 or newer, plus Astral Core, Almanac Core, Majestic Bestiary and GeckoLib. JEI is optional.
• Existing beta worlds are expected to load in place; back up the world before updating, as with any mod update.
