The Fog Is Coming — v2.7

Changes since the public hotpatch release, before the custom menu and wood additions

New horror main menu

• Added a dark, branchless forest panorama featuring the supplied Fog model, plus custom cracked-ivory title artwork.
• Added 60 custom horror splash texts.
• Added separate panorama, title and splash toggles under Mods → The Fog Is Coming → Config. Settings save without restarting; disabling panorama/title restores vanilla artwork, while disabling splashes hides them.
• Standard Minecraft menu controls remain available.

The Hushed Grove and Panorama Clearing

• Added a naturally generating Overworld biome with dark grass, stone deposits and tall, branchless trees.
• Added a panorama-inspired forest clearing with paths, flared bark-only root bases and lighter Lattice trees.
• Inside the clearing, the mod’s fog rendering and ambient fog damage are suppressed. This does not prevent mobs or hunters from entering or make players immune to combat.
• Tree trunks vary from 1×1 to 4×4 blocks and grow 6–9 logs tall. Thinner, two-layer canopies and real transparent leaf gaps reduce the solid-roof appearance.
• Hushed grass blends into neighboring biome colors using Minecraft’s Biome Blend setting; soil stays dark.

Complete Fogged and Lattice wood families

Both woods include:

• Logs, bark-only wood, stripped logs and stripped wood.
• Planks, stairs, slabs, fences, fence gates, doors, trapdoors, buttons and pressure plates.
• Standing/wall signs and ceiling/wall hanging signs.
• Boats and boats with chests, including 27-slot chest-boat storage.
• Leaves and renewable saplings.

Logs can be stripped with an axe. Signs support normal text, dyes, glow ink and waxing. Boat drops and chest-boat inventories retain the correct wood family when saved and loaded.

Modern textures and custom colors

• Fogged and Lattice logs, stripped logs and planks use modern vanilla oak patterns with their custom dark and lighter palettes.
• Lattice planks match the stripped-Lattice coloring; Lattice logs, log tops, leaves and saplings are lighter.
• Softened the five dark flecks on stripped log-top textures.
• Signs, hanging signs, boats and their inventory icons use modern vanilla texture layouts recolored for each wood family. Chains and chest details retain their vanilla appearance.
• Added original Rift and Lattice openwork doors/trapdoors with real transparent openings.
• Both leaf types retain their cutout gaps in Fancy and Fast graphics.

Boat-icon fix in v2.7

• Rebuilt Fogged and Lattice boat/chest-boat inventory icons from the modern vanilla sprites.
• Replaced the hand-drawn chest mask with a mask derived from eight vanilla wood variants. Chest details remain vanilla-colored, while the hull, rim and oars use the correct wood palette.
• Fixed boat-wood pixels accidentally preserved as oak and chest/detail pixels accidentally recolored as wood. Vanilla sprite silhouettes and transparency are unchanged.

Crafting and gameplay

• All 37 mod recipes unlock automatically on first join and datapack reload. Disable “craftable only” to browse recipes without ingredients.
• Both wood families work in vanilla recipes for sticks, chests, crafting tables, wooden tools, beds, bowls and shields. Furnace fuel and charcoal integration are supported.
• The Fog hunter can walk across water and rise to the surface from underwater. Players do not gain water-walking abilities.
• Added a five-minute warning and a fixed-pitch, non-looping alarm starting 160 ticks before Fog arrival—normally eight real seconds. Arrival stops playback; sleeping/time skips can shorten it.

Installation

Minecraft Java 1.20.1 • Forge 47.x • Java 17. TerraBlender is bundled.

Back up your world, then replace the old mod JAR on both client and server. Do not install multiple versions together. All players must update; the network protocol is 2.7-r1. New biome/structure generation and revised natural trees require new chunks; existing placed blocks receive texture changes immediately. Permanent-elimination and optional host-world-lock rules still apply.
