Nostalgaphobia - The "Firepower & Paranoia" Update

We are thrilled to announce a massive update that completely transforms the game experience. The mod has been fully renamed from MineHorror to Nostalgaphobia to better reflect the psychological terror and retro-style horror it delivers.

This update introduces endless replayability, terrifying new AI mechanics, and a Double-Barrel Shotgun!

🔫 Major Additions

• The Double-Barrel Shotgun:
  • A brand new, highly detailed 3D weapon with 1st person animations.
  • Dynamically renders your actual player skin on the hands holding the weapon!
  • Shotgun Jumping: Aim down and shoot to use the massive recoil for extra jump height and mobility.
• Ammo Converter Station:
  • A new custom workstation and GUI for crafting special shotgun shells.
  • Extract souls from your enemies to craft devastating soul-infused ammunition.
• 6 New Advancements:
  • Explore a new advancement tree including First Blood, You're a Murderer, Soul Extraction, Shotgun Jump, and taking down your Doppelganger.

🩸 Horror & AI Upgrades

• Doppelganger AI Overhaul:
  • Wall Climbing: You can no longer easily escape by pillaring up! The Doppelganger will now actively scale 1-block wide pillars and walls to get to you.
  • Leap Attacks: The entity will now aggressively leap at you to close the distance during chases.
• Nightly Paranoia Events:
  • Sensory Deprivation: Randomly experience terrifying blindness and deafness during the night.
  • Poltergeist: Nearby dropped items will now violently fling themselves around you.
  • Weeping Spawns: Cursed zombies may spawn that only move when you aren't looking at them. Keep your eyes peeled!

🔄 Infinite Replayability

• The Curse Level System:
  • Surviving the full horror cycle no longer means the end. Completing a cycle increases your permanent Curse Level.
  • Each Curse Level permanently speeds up the phase progression by 15%, making the horror escalate faster and faster in a terrifying loop.

🛠️ Fixes & Optimizations

• Mod globally renamed to Nostalgaphobia.
• General code optimization for smoother TPS during intense horror phases.
