The Endless Pantheon

The Endless Pantheon (Forge 1.20.1) Version 0.5.0 - Despair Integration Beta

Become an Endless aspect and keep the world.

Release Focus

• Promotes Despair from alpha preview to a full beta-playable branch.
• Expands the mod to five beta-playable Endless branches:
  • Dream
  • Death
  • Destruction
  • Desire
  • Despair
• Includes a multiplayer stability pass based on live testing feedback before wider beta rollout.

What Is Playable

• Dream: Dreaming travel, bubbles, scenarios, duties, and Dream governance systems.
• Death: half-dead lifecycle, rites, soul release loop, oath consequences, and Sunless Shore travel.
• Destruction: Forge of Endings powers, duty/stasis loop, creation quota rules, and ritual claim path.
• Desire: Threshold powers, influence/contracts loop, duty pressure, ritual path, and showcase realm systems.
• Despair: Mirror Abyss travel, mark/harvest control loop, state pressure, ritual claim path, and loss framework.

Despair Promotion To Beta

• Despair now includes its full in-world ritual path instead of remaining admin-claim only.
• Added active loss/consequence systems tied to neglect and prolonged world pressure.
• Mirror Abyss state progression and Despair gameplay loop are now ready for larger-scale beta testing.
• Updated public metadata to reflect Despair as a full beta branch rather than a preview-only branch.

Multiplayer Stability Fixes

• Reworked Dream sleep handling so Dreaming transfer is queued after sleep resolution instead of forcing teleport and heavy world work directly inside the bed completion event.
• Added expected Dream transfer tracking so valid Dreaming entry/exit no longer triggers false dimension-resync cleanup.
• Reduced repeated dream bubble rebuild work by tracking generated bubble state and only rebuilding when mood/version actually changes.
• This should improve:
  • Dream sleep behavior on servers using 100% sleep percentage
  • Dreaming entry/exit stability for non-Dream players
  • night skip consistency around Dream systems

Death Reliability Fixes

• Fixed lethal-conversion reliability so valid player and mob deaths now properly enter the half-dead state while Death is active.
• This resolves the issue where targets were too often dying immediately instead of lingering for Death to release.

Desire Realm Performance

• Increased the interval between Threshold showcase structure placements.
• Reduced structure-placement search pressure per cycle to lower hitching/timeouts on multiplayer servers.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.20.1
• Forge 47.x
• Java 17

Beta Notes

• This release is intended for broad multiplayer and progression testing across all five playable Endless branches.
• Priority retest areas:
  • Dream sleep and Dreaming transfer behavior under server load
  • Death half-dead conversion consistency in real combat
  • Threshold structure-placement timing and server performance
  • Despair ritual, duty pacing, and world-pressure consequences
• Always back up worlds before updating.
