The Endless Pantheon

The Endless Pantheon (Forge 1.20.1)
Version 0.3.0 - Tri-Aspect Beta (Dream + Death + Destruction)

Become an Endless aspect and keep the world.

Release Focus
- Expands the public beta from two aspects to three playable branches:
  - Dream (beta-stable)
  - Death (beta-stable)
  - Destruction (newly integrated for beta testing)
- Pushes the project from "framework + dual branch" into a practical tri-aspect gameplay sandbox for server and solo feedback.

What Is Playable
- Dream remains fully playable with Dreaming scenarios, bubble systems, resident support, and Dream role governance.
- Death remains fully playable with half-dead lifecycle, soul release duty loop, rites, oath consequences, and Sunless Shore travel.
- Destruction is now fully playable with:
  - Forge of Endings realm travel
  - instant break and sneak 3x3 sweep powers
  - duty/stasis world-state loop
  - creation quota and strike enforcement
  - ascension ritual and status systems

Destruction Branch (New Beta Integration)
- Added themed realm identity for Forge of Endings:
  - daytime lock
  - warm scorched palette
  - ash/smoke ambience and rumble atmosphere
  - active hazard systems (vents, crust collapse, pulse events)
- Added Destruction holder powers:
  - instant targeted block ending
  - sneak 3x3 surface sweep ending
  - held-item consume action
  - stabilize action for realm/world pressure management
- Added Destruction duty model:
  - daily meaningful ending quota
  - non-duty break pool tracking
  - world-state transitions (`STABLE` <-> `STASIS`)
- Added Destruction creation governance:
  - placement quota unlocked by non-duty ratio (`50:1`)
  - quota enabled only after daily duty completion
  - unrestricted placement inside Forge of Endings
  - unlawful placement strikes with seat-loss enforcement
- Added Destruction combat passive:
  - near-infinite wither on hit (mobs and players), configurable

Destruction Ritual System
- Added full Destruction ascension ritual lifecycle:
  - sunset + full moon gate
  - altar integrity validation
  - channel-to-dawn survival path
  - hostile/blast ritual pressure events
  - structured fail/success outcomes with cooldown
- Ritual entry requirement is now total-mined-block based:
  - default `10000` mined blocks
  - now explicitly configurable for server owners

Destruction Progression Rules Update
- Duty progression remains source-based for fair multiplayer/solo behavior:
  - player-placed blocks
  - structure-footprint blocks
- Ritual progression now uses total mined blocks (any block type).

Protection and Server Compatibility
- Destruction fast-break and sweep now honor block break event cancellation from protection systems.
- Claimed/protected areas (including FTB Chunks-style claim handlers) are no longer bypassed by Destruction sweep logic.

Global Endless Baseline
- Endless holders cannot sleep.
- Endless holders do not accumulate insomnia rest debt.
- Mob aggro is neutralized against all Endless holders.
- Destruction knockout now follows realm-return behavior (pulled to Forge of Endings where possible).

UI, HUD, and Commands
- Added dedicated Destruction menu styling and sectioned powers layout.
- Added Destruction HUD sync and overlay:
  - state
  - daily progress
  - deficit
  - streak/lifetime counters
- Expanded `/endless destruction ...` status and ritual command support for moderation/testing.

Config Surface Updates
- Added clear server-owner ritual threshold key for Destruction:
  - `destruction.ritualTotalBlocksRequired` (preferred)
  - `destruction.ritualUnnaturalBlocksRequired` remains as legacy fallback

Requirements
- Minecraft 1.20.1
- Forge 47.x
- Java 17

Beta Notes
- This is a beta aimed at gameplay balancing and multiplayer hardening.
- Primary remaining risk is multiplayer stress/anti-abuse validation for Destruction break powers.
- Always back up worlds before updating.
