What's new

Added

  • A new advancement, Memento Mori: be there when the Grim Reaper wakes in a graveyard's crypt. It is a side quest off Laid to rest, and everyone the Reaper plunges into Darkness as it wakes earns it.
  • The Grim Reaper now drops a Reaped Soul when killed, one every time.
  • A third witch cauldron brew, the reaped brew: a Reaped Soul, an enchanted golden apple and a ghast tear, over soul fire, after dark. The water turns purple, and it boils down to a Soul Apple.
  • The Soul Apple: eat it, hungry or not, for one more heart of max health, for good - it stays through death, and shows purple on your health bar. The apples give up to 10 extra hearts; past that each apple gives a pale blue reserve heart of absorption. They stack without limit and never wear off: only damage takes them away.
  • The Reaped Soul has a gently animated icon: its tail sways, with no flashing.
  • Held in your hand, the Reaped Soul, wicked resin and hallowed resin haunt you: their wisps drift off you (pale souls, green or gold) and the soul sand valley's whispers sound around you every few seconds.
  • A new advancement, Borrowed Time: eat a Soul Apple. It follows Memento Mori.
  • The Wraith Candle, from a fourth witch cauldron brew: any candle, a ghast tear and a ghostly essence, over soul fire, after dark. Light it and, after dark, it calls a ghost out of the dark around it about every 45 seconds, up to three at a time - a way to farm ghostly essence. It works in the Nether too, at any hour. It burns with a dim light (2), goes out at daybreak in the Overworld, and an empty hand or water snuffs it.
  • A new advancement, A Light for the Lost: brew a Wraith Candle. It is a side quest off Double, double.
  • Crows: they come down on open fields by day, in plains, meadows, forests, taiga and savanna, and peck at your crops. Each crop a crow eats from goes back one growth stage, and seedlings are left alone. A scarecrow keeps them off every crop within 16 blocks, whether it is a scarecrow block or a walking scarecrow (crowScarecrowRadius in the config), and they never spawn inside that ring; near farmland they spawn only now and then. They fly high and far between fields, take off when you come near unless you sneak, drop feathers, and have a caw of their own.

Changed

  • Scarecrows no longer take damage from cactus or sweet berry bushes.
  • The Hollow Whistle now calls 5 wicked bats instead of 3, and each has 20 health instead of 16.
  • Ghosts (and the Harvest Lich's wicked pumpkins) no longer drown, and float up out of any water they end up in instead of hanging in it. A Wraith Candle never calls a ghost into water.
  • Witch cauldron brews now boil in one 30-second stage instead of three 10-second ones. The pot stays full the whole time, and all the water goes at once with the result. No water can be taken out of a pot while it brews.
  • Hallowed resin is easier to brew: it now takes a plain golden apple instead of an enchanted golden apple. The soul apple still needs an enchanted one.
  • On NeoForge, more of the mod now goes through the hooks other mods use: whether you have the right tool to get a scarecrow's drops, the sound of a scarecrow picking a crop, what an ingredient leaves behind in the witch cauldron, and the spawning of the Harvest Lich's pumpkins and the Hollow Whistle's bats. Nothing changes without other mods installed.

Fixed

  • Scarecrows now pick berry bushes the way a player does, with a right-click, so the bush is cut back to age 1 instead of all the way down to a sprout. Modded bushes built on the vanilla berry bush are picked the same way without needing the tag.

Removed

  • The Harvest of Souls challenge advancement (kill a ghost, an evil scarecrow, a wicked pumpkin and the Harvest Lich) is gone. Hallowed resin now follows The Last Harvest directly.
