The Endless Pantheon

The Endless Pantheon (Forge 1.20.1) Version 0.4.0 - Desire Integration Beta

Become an Endless aspect and keep the world.

Release Focus

• Promotes Desire from alpha iteration to a full beta-playable branch.
• Expands the mod to four playable Endless branches:
  • Dream
  • Death
  • Destruction
  • Desire
• Cleans up Desire ritual reliability and closes key progression exploits before wider multiplayer testing.

What Is Playable

• Dream: stable Dreaming workflow, scenarios, bubbles, duties, and realm governance.
• Death: half-dead lifecycle, soul release loop, rites, oath consequences, and Sunless Shore travel.
• Destruction: Forge of Endings powers, duty/stasis loop, creation quota/strikes, and ritual claim path.
• Desire: Threshold travel, influence toolkit, temptation/harvest/contracts loop, duty pressure, and ritual claim path.

Desire Ritual Rework (Major)

• Replaced the old enchanted-apple-only ritual flow with a full multi-objective channel:
  • Eat 1 Enchanted Golden Apple.
  • Eat 8 Golden Apples.
  • Complete 24 piglin barter offers.
  • Keep full Netherite armor equipped for the whole ritual.
  • Return to the same Lodestone and finalize with sneak-right-click + Ghast Tear.
• Ritual remains anchored to a Lodestone inside a Bastion in the Nether.
• Ritual now hard-fails on armor break/removal, anchor loss, leaving valid area, or seat contention.
• Added richer ritual progress/status messaging for objective-by-objective tracking.

Desire Balance and Exploit Hardening

• Desire duty progression no longer counts while using Desire powers inside The Threshold.
  • This blocks low-risk realm-side duty farming and shifts duty completion back to active world interaction.
• Added guarded barter progression hook through piglin interaction checks during ritual.
• Desire admin status output now reflects the new ritual objective model.

Commands and Admin Surface

• Kept the organized command tree model:
  • /endless seat ...
  • /endless aspects ...
  • /endless admin ...
• Desire ritual command/status flow remains available for test/admin usage.

Config and Metadata Updates

• Updated mod metadata to include Desire as a live playable branch.
• Marked legacy Desire ritual-apple config key as compatibility-only (ignored by current ritual flow).

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.20.1
• Forge 47.x
• Java 17

Beta Notes

• This is a beta balancing/stability release for Desire-heavy gameplay testing.
• Multiplayer stress/edge-case ritual validation is still important feedback for the next cycle.
• Always back up worlds before updating.
