The Melodic

Melodic September 2026 Patch 1.1.8

Additions:

• added Sturdy Shears, which can be crafted using four iron, a jukemold, and a pair of shears; they can right-click most vanilla plants in Lush Caves for leaves, even potted versions of azalea; dead bushes, dripleaves, and spore blossoms also work for drops; Fouleaves yield more leaves when right-clicked
• added sounds for purifying orbs in a cauldron
• added sounds for shearing/bonemealing Fouleaves
• added messages to indicate that blocks cannot be broken or placed in specific instances
• added ability to right-click noteblocks while in Adventure Mode, with an axe, to break them and drop their loot as if you were playing in Survival Mode
• added loot table injection for cat morning gifts, meaning there's a small chance they can give you nurture leaves, founding batons, or even jukemold
• added command to set speed of day/night cycle due to some mod conflicts

Removals:

• removed nurture leaf recipes

Buffs/Nerfs:

• nerfed Purified Herbs...
  • Instant Health VI to Instant Health I
  • Health Boost II to Health Boost I
  • Saturation I for 186 ticks to 4 ticks
  • Fall Negation for 6600 ticks to 1100 ticks
• nerfed Orbital Herbs...
  • Health Boost II to Health Boost I, from 6600 ticks to 2200 ticks
  • Saturation I for 186 ticks to 2 ticks
  • Fall Negation for 6600 ticks to 2200 ticks
• nerfed all herbs to where they can only be eaten when you're hungry
• nerfed Bednull; Overworld spawns are much, MUCH more rare as probabilities have been adjusted (from a 3/7 chance to 1/200)
• nerfed Storderman; wearing a pumpkin within a close range to it will now roll for a 3 in 400 chance for the Storderman to charge/vanish, making killing it a tad easier
• nerfed Choirboys; they will no longer be able to deal 40dmg mobs who are not engaged in combat with them in the Overworld...
  
  • if the mob is tamed, it is immune to this "backstab" gimmick
  • otherwise, the first hit on a mob that isn't targeting the Choirboy will deal 6dmg
  • all of this is configurable via commands, respectively
  • any hostile mob or golem that's been backstabbed, if they aren't dead, will then target the Choirboy

Fixes/Optimizations/Tweaks:

• fixed loading screen crash that occurs when rejoining/reconnecting to a world in an instance
• fixed animation inconsistencies with all mobs, especially Bednull
• fixed minecarts being stuck in walls
• fixed world tick update global procedure for day cycle changing (hopefully) based on coexisting mods (Wonderland.jar, for example)
• fixed rails/items being left on the ground during generation while item despawning is disabled
• fixed bloots and bleets floating in air above grass, they should turn to air with random ticks like grass; same fix vice versa applies to the grass; there's some additional visuals for these live corrections to better indicate the dimension itself is adjusting, with particles and some sounds; increased radius around said blocks to look for players so that they may be, "corrected," sooner, going from 24 to 64
• tweaked block breaking for Jukestone and Jukerock that allows for them to be broken/placed in the Tunnels, except the floor level
• tweaked Tunnel mineshafts to spawn Cave Spiders from spawners instead of Spiders due to Spiders getting stuck
• tweaked Bednull behavior slightly, mostly in animations/movement
• tweaked Fonote spawnrates to be more common while players are Wanted
• tweaked falling into the void so it will no longer apply Levitation and Slow Falling; instead, you are teleported back to the origin as if you entered the Melodic via kidnapping or the metronome
• tweaked cultists so they should ignore all water mobs, namely tameable and animal ones

NOTE:

Thank you ICantChooseNames for recreating a very core procedure for the mod that handles looking at mobs and having certain things happen; the procedure corrupted and this patch wouldn't have been possible!
