Tempest Almanac - Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks
Tempest Almanac brings magic weather to the Overworld. Seven phenomena follow the seasons. Each has its own sky, sounds and particles, dangers you can always avoid, and rewards you can only get from it.

What's new
# Tempest Almanac: changelog since 0.10.1
Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge 21.1.250 or newer. Install on both the client and the server.
Worlds from 0.10.1 load unchanged: the saved weather data did not change, and the only new data are the blocks and the pendant.
Config files are not rewritten; new keys appear with their defaults the first time the game starts.
## 0.14.1
- Balance pass. A report of the shipped numbers showed that **ley dust, not meteors, limits Astral Cores**: a ley surge gives about 7 to 9 dust (3 to 4 cores), a meteor shower leaves 10 to 16 cores' worth of ingots. The numbers stay, and they are all in the config.
- Checked: at the default settings the pendant stays below `boonCap`, even together with an aurora, a ley surge or a magic storm.
- New texts for the store pages (description, summary).
## 0.14.0: integrations and milestones
- **Spell Atlas:** time spent walking inside a linked pylon field earns Arcane Points and nature affinity. The default is 5 points and 10 affinity every 20 minutes, at most twice a day. You must keep moving (32 blocks in the window), so standing still earns nothing, and leaving the field starts the count again. Config: `atlasAttuneMinutes`, `atlasAttunePoints`, `atlasAttuneAffinity`, `atlasAttuneDailyMax`.
- **Spell Atlas guide:** four more pages in English and Polish (Ley Line Pylon, Ley Line Conduit, Ley-Linked Pendant, ley networks).
- **Artificer's Almanac:** the Astral Core is a staff and armour core material (more maximum mana and mana regeneration), through a data file. No change to the Almanac was needed.
- **Elemental Motes:** a strong pylon field draws aether motes to you (air motes in a magic storm). Config: `pylonAttractsMotes`, on by default.
- **Quintessence:** counts as a mana mod, so pylons, conduits and the pendant are offered with it. The pendant's bonus lines already list its mana attributes.
- **Five new advancements:** first pylon, first conduit, a linked pendant, a full network (a pylon with 4 conduits) and an hour attuned. They are hidden without a mana mod.
## 0.13.0: the Ley-Linked Pendant
- **Ley-Linked Pendant:** a necklace for the Curios slot. Right-click a pylon or a conduit to link it to that network (up to 3 networks, `pendantLinkLimit`). Sneak and right-click in the air clears the links. The tooltip lists each link and whether it is active.
- **What it gives:** inside a linked field, more maximum mana and faster mana regeneration. At full strength that is +35% maximum mana and +75% regeneration for Iron's Spells, and the same lines for Quintessence. The strongest linked field counts, and every further linked field that covers you adds a little. The cap for the wearer is 1.25. All of it is the config list `pendantBoons`.
- **One cap for everything:** the pendant's bonus joins the phenomena's bonuses in one place, with one modifier per attribute and one limit, `boonCap` (+150% by default). The pendant, an aurora and a ley surge together can never run away.
- **Only one pendant counts:** wearing several does not add up.
- **Players get the necklace slot** from Tempest, so it works with Curios alone (Iron's Spells already does this).
- Fixed along the way: a pendant that was taken off could still be counted, and a pylon placed by a command in the same tick did not register until the next one.
## 0.12.0: Ley Line Pylon and Ley Line Conduit
Both need Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks or Quintessence, and are hidden without one. Overworld only; nothing here changes the world around it.
- **Ley Line Pylon:** a floating crystal on a base. It draws a field of about 24 blocks (`pylonRadius`) from the ley lines. It is strongest on a line and half as strong 16 or more blocks from one, and the field fades out over its outer quarter instead of ending sharply. A ley surge makes it 25% stronger.
- **Ley Line Conduit:** it links to the nearest pylon (or conduit) within 20 blocks by itself and stretches the field (radius 16). A pylon takes up to 4 conduits; a fifth is not linked, and says so. If a pylon is broken, its conduits go quiet until they can link again.
- **Pylons in a ley surge:** within 6 blocks of an active pylon you count as standing on a ley line, so a base gets the surge's strength, speed, haste and mana bonuses without walking out to a line (`pylonCountsAsLine`).
- **Right-click** a pylon or a conduit with an empty hand to read its strength, its distance from a line and its conduits.
- **Sharing:** by default anyone can link a pendant to any pylon. `pylonShare = OWNER` limits it to the player who placed it.
- **Look and sound:** a glowing crystal, a beam into the sky (checked with Iris and Complementary Reimagined), motes, link twinkles and a soft hum. All of it follows the strength of the field.
- New config: `pylonRadius`, `conduitRadius`, `maxConduits`, `conduitLinkRange`, `pylonSurgeBoost`, `pylonCountsAsLine`, `pylonShare`.
## 0.11.0: the meteorite chain
Meteorite fragments were only keepsakes. Now they are a way to a new metal. These three items always exist, with or without a mana mod.
- **Starforge Alloy:** 2 Meteorite Fragments, 1 Copper Ingot and 1 Iron Nugget (shapeless).
- **Meteorite Ingot:** smelt the alloy in a furnace or blast furnace. A glowing copper metal, not to be confused with astralite.
- **Astral Core:** 2 Meteorite Ingots, 1 Astralite Ingot and 2 Ley Dust. The one item that needs meteors, craters and ley lines together. It is also the heart of the pylon, the conduit and the pendant.
- Item tags `tempest_almanac:meteorite_ingots` and `tempest_almanac:astral_cores` for pack makers.
- Three advancements, and a "meteorite chain" page in the Spell Atlas guide.
