Changelog

[1.3.6-release]

Added

  • Added classic 3D armor models inspired by Draconic Evolution 1.12.2.
  • Added Chaotic armor visual support based on Draconic Additions.
  • Added retro armor shield behavior: shield capacity and regeneration are now built from the full equipped armor set instead of being tied only to the chestpiece.

Changed

  • Draconic Evolution armor now uses retro models and textures directly, without adding duplicate armor items.
  • Chestpieces use 2D item icons in inventories and hands while keeping full 3D armor models when equipped.
  • Reworked fusion recipes for Wyvern, Draconic, and Chaotic armor into a more consistent progression.
  • Reworked module fusion recipes so armor modules are assigned to the appropriate armor pieces, and item upgrade recipes use 8 external fusion ingredients.
  • Updated the junk filter interface to better match the Draconic Evolution 1.21.1 UI style.
  • The junk filter now uses two full rows of slots, stores only one item per slot, and allows duplicate filter entries in different slots.
  • Stabilized spawners now validate spawn positions more reliably and should no longer place mobs inside blocks or otherwise invalid locations.
  • Improved container separation in Draconic Evolution interfaces so inventory sorting mods do not mix Draconium Chest contents with the player's inventory.
