Changelog

v1.3.0 - Combat Expansion, Reworks, and Systems Update

Dial Style Additions and Reworks

• Milky Road now has two uses instead of being only a cloud-road projectile.
  • Normal cast still creates a solid cloud road with a Milky Dial projectile.
  • Sneak-cast now activates a cloud surfing mode that continuously propels the player forward on a self-generating cloud wave.
• Flame Manipulation Visual and Core Improvements
  • Combustion throws a concentrated fire shot that explodes at the impact point, deals 50 damage with 80% piercing, ignites targets before damage is applied for cooked drops, and now uses a larger 4.5-block impact radius.
  • Beam channels a continuous flame beam with deals 10 damage per tick, and now uses 100% piercing.
  • Snap gives 8 stored precision flame strikes, dealing 25 damage with 80% piercing on a locked target.
• Flame Manipulation animations were added for every mode.
  • Combustion uses a forward throwing pose.
  • Beam uses a held-out channeling pose.
  • Snap uses a quick finger-snap pose.
• Flame Manipulation effects were rebuilt.
  • Combustion now launches from a visible hand-forward origin instead of feeling like an eye-line hit.
  • Combustion impact visuals were expanded into a larger MMNM-only flame burst and dome effect.
  • The flame beam now uses a REAL BEAM

Eight-Arm Style Gameplay Updates

• Octo-Grab was reworked into a true hold-and-pummel move.
  • The target gets pulled in, locked in front of the user, continuously crushed, and then popped upward on release.
  • Cooldown was increased to 15 seconds so the stronger control effect has a real cost.
• Ink Cloud now has a dedicated blindness overlay.
  • Players caught in the squid-ink cloud do not just receive blindness, they also get an almost full-screen black vignette while inside the cloud area.
• Kraken Rage received a full two-mode cleanup and rebalance pass.
  • Kraken Rage mode remains the 8 giant flailing tentacle assault, holding for about 8 seconds, hitting everything around the user for 12 damage per hit in a wide radius.
  • Kraken's Fist mode remains the colossal single-punch finisher, still deals 90 damage, now uses 60% piercing, and now has a 60-second cooldown.
  • Both mode descriptions, mode names, and stat lines were cleaned up so the tooltip uses proper English entries instead of raw translation keys.

Eight-Arm Rendering and First-Person Visibility Fixes

• The first-person phantom arm workaround was rewritten.
  • Arms are no longer forced downward to stay out of the camera.
  • Nearby arm sections now fade based on camera distance instead of making the entire attack ghosted at all ranges.
  • Near-camera sections now wash out toward clear/white instead of keeping a strong pink or purple tint in the middle of the screen.
  • Transparent first-person arms no longer write depth, so mobs and entities behind them stay visible instead of being incorrectly hidden.

Shipwright Systems and Balance Rework

• Yield was added as a new Shipwright passive.
  • Yield reduces active Shipwright cooldowns based on direct player weapon damage dealt.
  • The passive removes 0.5 seconds of Shipwright cooldown per 1 point of damage dealt, which is 10 ticks of cooldown reduction for every 1 damage.
  • It checks all equipped Shipwright abilities and reduces only the ones that are currently on cooldown.
  • Cooldowns cannot go below zero, so the passive can instantly finish a cooldown but cannot create negative cooldown time.
  • The effect is limited to players currently using the Shipwright fighting style and only works if the Yield passive is actually unlocked.
  • The effect is limited to direct player-hit damage events, so it does not function as a blanket reduction on every possible damage source in the mod.
  • The passive only targets abilities whose registry id starts with shipwright_, so it does not reduce Dial, Eight-Arm, or unrelated cooldowns.
• Ship Upgrade was expanded into a full upgraded-boat system instead of only storing upgrade data on the entity.
  • Upgraded boats now have real in-game item forms for all six vanilla wood types.
  • Broken upgraded boats now drop shareable upgraded boat items instead of losing their upgrade state.
  • Upgraded boat items place upgraded boats directly and preserve their upgrade tier.
  • Legacy vanilla boats with upgrade NBT remain compatible.
  • Boat upgrades are now synced on the boat entity itself so speed increases are applied reliably in actual gameplay instead of feeling inconsistent.
  • Upgrade levels now visibly darken the boat and scale speed through the shipwright progression tiers: +10%, +30%, +40%, +70%, and +120%.
• Shipwright damage rebalance reduced the style's offensive burst significantly.
  • Axe Swing damage is now 10.8.
  • Axe Eater damage is now 36.0.
  • Slash Rampage damage is now 43.2.
  • Block Barrage primary mode adjusted to 7.5 damage with 75% piercing for the base throw mode.

UI, Lang, and Presentation Fixes

• Added proper English text entries for newly split mode names and mode descriptions that were previously falling back to raw translation keys.
• Added upgraded boat item names, tooltip text, and item models for every upgraded boat type.
• Improved release-state polish around style-specific overlays, beam rendering, and mode-specific ability presentation.
