Verox' RPG Progression - Changelog

New: Stage Raids

Optional raids that strike while a stage is your current goal - an invitation to the next tier.

• Waves of themed enemies spawn around the player, announced by a boss bar and the raid horn. The final wave brings a glowing raid leader.
• Defeating all waves rewards every nearby player with a map or compass to the stage's lair, plus optional item rewards.
• Raids can strike at night, during the day or at any time, with a configurable chance, check interval and cooldown per raid.
• Raid mobs always go for players: if they get distracted by pets, summons or familiars, they switch back to the nearest player.
• Outdoors, raid mobs only spawn on the surface - never in caves below you. Underground and in the Nether, they spawn on your level.
• A raid fails without a reward if nobody stays nearby, if it runs for too long or if none of its mobs can spawn.
• Disabled by default - turn it on with raids.enabled in verox_rpg_prog-common.toml.
• New command /rpg_prog raid start to test the raid of the current stage instantly.

For modpack authors

• Raids live in their own files: data/<namespace>/stage_raids/<name>.json, linked to a stage via order.
• Define any number of waves with mobs, amounts and equipment, a leader with its own scaling, extra scaling on top of the stage's scaling, and the reward.
• required_mods / excluded_mods work for whole raid files - and required_mods also works for single mobs, so a vanilla raid can include modded mobs only when their mod is installed.
• Raids, wave mobs and leaders can have a display_item for the Journal.
• Included: an Illager Warband for Raiders' Dawn and a Frostbound Incursion for Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks.

Progression Journal

• New raid pages: when a raid strikes, every wave as a clickable entry, the leader with his stat bonuses and the reward with a short description.
• Clicking a wave shows each of its enemies with amount and equipment.

Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks

• The Archevoker is now the main boss of Raiders' Dawn when Iron's Spells is installed - the guardian of all spellbooks. The Evoker becomes an optional boss, and the Evoker Fort joins the stage's territories.
