SS-21 Quasar v1.7.1

⚠️ Photosensitivity warning: the rapid white-out strobe flashes at beam touchdown and at the final burst are unchanged. Players who are sensitive to flashing lights should take care. The strobe can be disabled — see Notes.

⚠️ Performance Warning: Power x3.0 Setting the quasar's power to x3.0 can seriously lag or freeze your PC if it is not powerful enough. This is not a joke. At x3.0 the crater is roughly three times wider and the world has to process far more terrain at once. Start with the default power, back up your world, and never force-close the game mid-strike.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.11 or 26.3
• Fabric Loader + Fabric API, Forge (1.20.1 / 1.21.1), or NeoForge (1.21.1)
• Java 17+ (Java 25 for Minecraft 26.3)
• The Shooting Star (Demo) 1.4.4

What's New

The Shooting Star 1.4.4 support SS-21 Quasar now runs on The Shooting Star (Demo) 1.4.4. You must update the base mod to 1.4.4 — version 1.4.3 is no longer supported. SS-21 still installs alongside the base mod's four stock skills (SS-01, SS-03, SS-04, SS-05).

This is a compatibility update — the quasar's cinematic, attack, HUD and sound design are unchanged from v1.7.0.

Fixes

• Updated the skill definition on Minecraft 1.21.11 to match the 1.4.4 base, where the skill interface's obfuscated method names shifted. (The 1.20.1 / 1.21.1 / 26.3 builds and the Forge/NeoForge builds needed no letter changes.)

Notes

• Strobing can be removed by setting SS21_STROBE to 0.0 at the top of ss21_world.fsh in a resource pack or custom build.
• The 1.6.0 impact overhaul and the v1.7.0 loader ports (Forge/NeoForge) are unchanged in this update.
