Changelog V1.2

Added

Crucifix

• Added a Crucifix with 100 durability and Moonlight banishment effects.
• Keep it in your inventory to banish Ransom when he attacks, or use it on another player to free them from Ransomware. Uses 10 durability.
• Use it on a corrupted chest to banish Stealer and save the remaining loot. Uses 5 durability.
• Hit a Hijacked mob with it to banish the mob in a blue flash. Uses 1 durability.
• Craft it with four stripped logs, one diamond, and two gold blocks. The recipe appears in your recipe book after your first Ransomware or Stealer encounter.

Hijack Level 5

• At 100 Hijack, Ransom takes control of your body. Your character can move and attack while you play a minigame to regain control.
• Keep your marker inside the moving area and click in time with the ring for bonus progress. Completing the minigame lowers Hijack to 50.
• At 30% progress, your inventory becomes available. Right-click a Honey Pot in your inventory to use it and free yourself.

Honey Pot

• Added the Honey Pot, which clears Hijack and grants 10 minutes of Firewall protection against further Hijack buildup.
• Right-click the Honey Pot in your inventory to use it.
• Craft it with one decorated pot and one honey block. Plain and patterned pots both work.

Underground Ransom

• At Y ≤ 62 in the Overworld, a new encounter replaces Ransomware. Moonlight pushes Ransom out of your body, and he attacks as a cloud of glitches.
• Hit Ransom to knock him away. Watch for changes in direction and teleports; the attacked player can see and hit him through walls.
• The encounter lasts eight attacks, whether you parry them or get hit.
• Each hit you fail to parry deals 2 HP, adds 10 Hijack, and takes an entire random stack from your hotbar. If your hotbar is empty, Ransom takes a stack from your main inventory instead.

Balance

• Damaging a Hijacked creeper now makes it display a STOP sign and freeze for 5 seconds. Further hits restart the pause.
• Honey bottles now reduce Hijack by 15, unless you are fully Hijacked.

Fixed

• Fixed displaced and oversized glitch overlays on Hijacked mobs and the false Hijacked appearances at Hijack level 3.
• Spectators no longer trigger Ransom: Stealer when opening loot chests.

Configuration

Ransom: Stealer difficulty

• Added Easy, Normal, and Hard. Normal keeps the original timing and is the default.
• Easy gives you 0.4 extra seconds for the first key and 0.1 extra seconds for each of the next two.
• Hard gives you 0.1 fewer seconds for each of the first three keys.
