Xiaoxiang Sects Expanded — 1.0.64

Secret realm fix (1.0.64)

• Gatekeepers and guardians can no longer fall into the void during a spar.
• Both fighters are held on the sparring stage every tick, and the guardian no longer tries to walk back to its post below the stage.
• Any keeper or guardian that drops toward the void, or takes void damage, is carried back to its post.

Game screens reworked (1.0.63)

• Card table and arm-wrestling screens no longer have overlapping or cut-off text.
• Clear results: a coloured banner after every hand or match — YOU WIN +40◆, DEALER WINS −20◆, PUSH — stake returned, VICTORY +60◆ or DEFEATED −20◆ — with both hands or how the match ended shown underneath.
• Side guide panels:
  • Poker: hand rankings from Straight Flush to High Card, each with an example and its payout; the hand you hold lights up.
  • Twenty-One: the rules, plus an Advisor suggesting Hit, Stand or Double for your hand.
  • Arm wrestling: what the colours mean, how to counter surges, how to win, and your strength against his.

Card games & live arm wrestling (1.0.62)

• Twenty-One (blackjack) at the House of Fortune: card-table screen, Hit / Stand / Double down. The dealer draws to 17, and a natural 21 pays 3:2.
• Five-Card Draw poker against the dealer: click cards to hold, draw once, and the better hand wins. A winning straight or better pays a bonus: straight +1x, flush +2x, full house +3x, four of a kind +10x, straight flush +25x.
• Stakes of 5 / 20 / 100 / 500 spirit stones.
• Arm wrestling is now a live minigame: press Space (or click) when the needle is in the green to push his arm down, and counter his surges. You can also challenge the hall's strongest for a bigger prize. Your realm and any Strength effect make you stronger.

Jade Waypoint Slip, city defence (1.0.61)

• New item: Jade Waypoint Slip (creative only). Lists the nearest villages, towns, cities and king's castles, and teleports you to them.
• /sectcity nearest castle shows where each king's castle bridge is.
• No other structures (vanilla or other mods) generate on or near city ground.
• No hostile mobs or wild beasts spawn inside the walls; any that wander in are cleared.
• Guards shoot:
  • Tower sentries carry bows, with a 36-block range.
  • Gate guards, the watch and the royal guard shoot and fight in close.
  • They defend townsfolk against monsters, beasts, beast tides and bandits.
  • Their arrows never hurt townsfolk or players.
• Beast tides can now attack cities you are standing in at dusk.

The great city update (1.0.59–1.0.60)

• Royal precinct: the king's castle stands inside a moat with a bridge, an outer wall with great towers, a twin-tower gate with a portcullis, and a courtyard with lanterns and blossom trees.
• Stronger royal guard: Qi Refining guards and Foundation Establishment commanders in diamond. The commander can grant an audience with the king or a daily guard trial.
• Bigger arena (41 / 51 / 61 blocks) with fighters' gates, a royal box and a bookmaker's booth. Bouts have named fighters and real odds, and start on their own.
• Conversation windows with every townsperson:
  • the king: gifts, royal commissions, duels, stipends;
  • clan patriarchs, innkeepers, guilds, customs officers, the arena and townsfolk.

Built as an addon for Xiaoxiang Cultivation World. Thanks also to Threateningly Mobs. I don't own those mods; anything will be removed on request.
