Runic Gods

[0.1.0] — 2026-09-05 — Major Boss & Data Overhaul

Added

• Boss health, phase, and encounter state now persist through chunk unloads and server restarts.
• Added a full boss encounter system with telegraphs, recovery periods, repositioning, phase transitions, enraging, and multiplayer scaling.
• Every god can now define its own combat style, abilities, spells, loot, encounter mechanics, and behavior through datapacks.
• All built-in gods now have native fallback abilities, so boss fights work without Iron's Spells installed.
• Added unique encounter mechanics for each divine domain, including summons, charges, healing, walls, beams, and spell effects.
• First kills now guarantee each god's deity sigil and signature weapon, while repeat kills use configurable drop chances and pity protection.
• Improved BrassAmber Battletowers integration with data-driven boss spawning and safer replacement behavior.
• Added /runic_gods validate and improved boss debugging commands.
• Added new boss animations, sounds, visual effects, particles, and translatable boss titles.
• Added configurable client particle quality levels.

Changed

• God-specific balance and behavior settings now live in each god's JSON definition, while the TOML config handles global rules and multipliers.
• Aurex: warhammer_of_creation renamed to worldshaper_hammer.
• Viren now uses a ranged bow combat style.
• Updated several divine weapon IDs to match their actual registered items.
• World save data has been restructured for the new boss progression system.
• Commands now properly support both built-in and datapack-added namespaced gods.

Removed

• Removed the old legacy pantheon system. Runic Gods now uses the 8 Runecraft-native gods.
• Removed numerous old per-god TOML settings that are now controlled by datapack definitions.

Fixed

• Battletowers golems are now replaced only when a Runic Gods boss successfully spawns.
• God-related commands now correctly accept bare IDs such as aurex as well as namespaced IDs such as runic_gods:aurex.
