Et Futurum Requiem Reforged — Beta Update

This update focuses on stabilizing modern Minecraft content in 1.7.10, improving world generation, fixing rendering issues, and making modern features more reliable in survival gameplay.

World Generation

• Improved modern biome generation across the Overworld and Nether.
• Updated Pillager Outposts with more accurate watchtower structures and surrounding decorations.
• Removed unintended cherry tree generation from ordinary hill biomes.
• Improved aquatic mob spawning with population and local-density limits to reduce overcrowding.
• Adjusted Drowned spawning to better respect water depth, lighting, and difficulty.
• Fixed natural Nautilus spawning under valid underwater conditions.

Blocks and Rendering

• Fixed broken rendering on Sculk Shriekers and Trial Spawners that could cause surrounding terrain to become invisible.
• Improved rendering for Sniffer Eggs, Frogspawn, Dried Ghasts, and other nonstandard blocks.
• Fixed Pitcher Crop growth and upper-half placement.
• Corrected Seagrass and Tall Seagrass growth and placement behavior.
• Improved block rendering compatibility with Angelica.

Items and Gameplay

• Fixed Netherite smithing upgrades while preserving existing tool names, enchantments, and durability.
• Added Netherite upgrade recipes to NEI, including proper ingredient and result slots.
• Corrected several missing or incorrect sound effects, including Turtle Eggs, Frogspawn, and Dried Ghast transitions.
• Improved aquatic spawning performance when mob population limits have been reached.

Survival Testing and Known Issues

Modern biomes have been confirmed to generate naturally in survival worlds. Their terrain and appearance are adapted to Minecraft 1.7.10's world-generation system, so they may differ from modern vanilla Minecraft.

The End dimension is functional in survival testing, although End flash effects are currently missing textures.

Known issues:

• Bastions and Nether Fortresses may occasionally overlap during generation.
• Baby Ghasts may sometimes fail to progress into Happy Ghasts.
• Crossbows still have incorrect rendering when held.
• Some End visual effects are missing textures.
• New experimental features must still be manually enabled under the experiments configuration settings. This requirement is planned to change in a future update.

This remains a beta release. Additional survival testing, rendering fixes, and world-generation improvements are still planned.
