NICE JOJO

NICE JOJO 0.9.8 — Minecraft 1.20.1

New Stands and skins
• Highway Star: scent tracking, a humanoid grab and a pursuit form made of sixteen animated brown bare soles. Includes marking, pursuit/draining and an aerial lift/slam.
• Green Day: height-based mold damage, grabbing, upper-body separation/crawling, an owner knife combo into a Stand attack, and fixed-position mode. Added spreading mold clusters, spores and the requested idle pose.
• The Grateful Dead: a smaller-than-player, legless model with long arms and three fingers, following along the ground. Includes Aging, grab, Aging Acceleration, Stand Jump and counter. Water/ice cleanse aging; time stop, acceleration and erasure affect its progression.
• Yuumi skin for Hey Ya: a Minecraft model riding her book, idle/attack/spell/page-turn animations, attachment, shielding, remote vision and localized speech bubbles.
• Garen skin for Jonathan Hamon: attack 7, maximum guard 30. Includes a three-hit sword combo, horizontal heavy sweep, Decisive Strike, Courage, Judgment, Demacian Justice and out-of-combat regeneration. Ultimate cooldown: 40 seconds.
• Added greatsword draw/sheath, dash/slam and two-handed spinning poses. Summoning a Stand sheathes the sword.
• Added the supplied The Hand — The Red and Whitesnake — Purple Dream skins. Yuumi/Garen cards use the existing special-card design and identify the required ability.

Exploration, bosses and rewards
• Added Corrupted Stand Users in the End: sixteen original shaded Minecraft skins with varied faces, 25–50 health, and random non-Requiem/non-Over-Heaven Stands. They are hostile to each other as well as players. Milk or golden apples recruit them as named companions with follow, wait, attack, area-guard and storage commands.
• Added empowered End City bosses with double health/damage, 10% faster movement, bonuses against non-player mobs, guaranteed native reward drops and 1–3 skin cards.
• Added mineshaft vampire packs, Stone Mask drops, a Silver Chariot Requiem raid and loot for JoJo structure chests.
• Added marble sky-island portals and a cloud Heaven arena with an empowered, continuously accelerating Made in Heaven Pucci. Arena and return state are cleaned up after combat/death.
• Added Beauty of Acceleration, shortening Made in Heaven's acceleration buildup by 50 seconds while carried.
• Pucci has an independent 40% chance to drop an Ascension Window Frame. Only C-Moon users can ascend with it: the player grips the inner red frame and C-Moon supports its outside. Added rising mist, transitions into attacks and falling when knocked down.

Effects, animation and audio
• Rebuilt time-stop activation/release with a contracting spherical lens, refraction, chromatic separation, expanding waves, light streaks and camera shake. Quick stops use a shorter transition; release begins 0.2 seconds before time resumes.
• Winding cloud/mist strands surround the viewer and freeze in the air. Existing blue/gray filters also affect first-person hands, sleeves and held items, restoring their normal colors afterward.
• King Crimson's predicted paths now contain translucent red snapshots of actual mob/player models. Frozen poses fade from earlier positions toward the final future position.
• Strengthened Return to Zero with stars, a purple aurora and a dark cosmic sphere. The affected-viewer presentation lasts two seconds; stun/echoes last five. Improved GER's purple/black impacts, target-facing attacks and final camera sequence.
• Reworked Thor's ultimate weapon strikes, throws, recall, charging, final lightning and camera cuts. Mjolnir travels twice as fast when batted by Stormbreaker.
• Garen's Judgment uses broad gold sword wakes, bright leading edges, layered fading trails and low swirling wind. Demacian Justice adds a luminous blade, falling streaks, spreading ground light, cracks, debris and impact flashes.
• Added blue claw trails and more natural biting/rotating tail attacks for Scary Monsters. Tusk's herbal tea uses stronger green healing particles and rising light.
• Added/replaced time-stop activation/resume, Killer Queen ignition and Made in Heaven acceleration SFX. Acceleration audio fades out. New GER dialogue, heavy-attack and barrage lines obey the Voice/Speech setting separately from nonverbal SFX.

Combat, ragdolls and fixes
• Added a 0.1-second guard-response window after the first barrage hit.
• Stand and spec guard maxima use the higher value, never their sum. Spec values: Hamon 20, Vampire 25, Spin/Kars 15, Wamuu/Esidisi/Ultimate Lifeform 30.
• Aging reduces received healing by 20%; actual mold damage reduces it by 30% for seven seconds; Purple Haze infection reduces it by 80%. Only the strongest of these penalties applies.
• Poison-cloud contact leaves a ten-second Purple Haze infection with one damage per second and body-attached purple mist, including after leaving the cloud. Re-exposure refreshes its duration; stopped time pauses both its clock and damage.
• Ragdolls continue from knockback into knockdown. Stun loosens the arms; death bodies last fifteen seconds and fade away. Attacks/body contact nudge downed bodies without damage or self-directed walking. Existing white hit/recovery flashes remain.
• Improved native model contact with floors, walls, slabs and stairs. Ender Dragons and Withers are excluded. Recognized corpse mods disable duplicate built-in death bodies.
• Enabled Star Platinum's zoom from remote Stand view and made Hierophant Green's barrier roughly 10% denser.
• Separated Bites the Dust participant holds by caster. Cancellation, death or transfer of one caster no longer releases another caster's scene. Return to Zero now cancels an already-running Bites the Dust sequence.
• Prevented deferred time-stop hits and frozen motion from carrying over after dimension transfers, death or logout.
• Updated ability descriptions, controls, the handbook and Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Russian localization.

See the release validation record for exact tested mod versions and configurations. This is not certification of every third-party mob renderer or shader combination.

Animation and camera compatibility
• Punchy FPA 2.8g yields overlapping hand/arm animation during authored ability poses and restores normal behavior afterward.
• Hold My Items 4.2.5H1 (Fabric): fixed interference with authored hands and duplicate hands/items when installed together with Punchy. In that combination, Hold My Items owns ordinary first-person hands.
• Camera Overhaul 2.1.2 no longer adds camera motion over remote Stand control, shift lock, cinematic cameras or frozen viewpoints. Normal camera behavior returns afterward.
• Verified with Forge 47.4.10 + OptiFine I6, and Fabric Loader 0.18.2 + Iris 1.7.5 / Sodium 0.5.11 / Indium 1.0.36 with Complementary Unbound 5.1.1. See the validation record for individual combinations.

Boss and encounter follow-up
- Newly world-spawned bosses return safely after five seconds outside their territory. Spawn-egg bosses remain unrestricted after saving and loading. Legacy bosses without recorded spawn provenance are left unrestricted.
- Silver Chariot Requiem defeat: golden core fracture, black/violet body dissolution, then one reward payout. Visible body now matches the hitbox.
- Fixed Fabric natural-spawn event coverage for corrupted End Stand users and biome boss encounters.
- Mineshaft vampire packs retry as a complete group if individual spawns are blocked.
