Better Than Ocelots v1.8.1 New Quests, Possession, Hearts of the Sea and Bug Fixes
What's new
New: Coral Reefs
- Feed a dolphin a tropical fish and it leads you to the nearest coral reef
- The dolphin swims at the surface so you can follow it in a boat, and waits whenever you fall more than 8 blocks behind
- It finds its own way round islands and coastlines; if land blocks the way it gives up after 20 seconds, unless you carry it across with the full Raiser trim set and put it back in the water
- Every coral reef has a Heart of the Sea lying on a coral block, never within 200 blocks of another (reefs you’ve already explored get theirs the next time they load)
- Hearts of the Sea can be placed as a small 3D block and picked back up by hand
- A placed Heart of the Sea beats and pulses: you hear its heartbeat only when both you and the heart are underwater
- Hearts of the Sea no longer come from buried treasure
- Tropical fish are now 10% of the fish you catch
Possession
- Every animal can now be possessed, plus allays and the wandering trader
- Possessed creatures sound half as deep and groan with their hurt sound every now and then
- Possessed fish and tadpoles show glowing red eyes
- Possessed fish, axolotls and tadpoles can’t be picked up in a bucket
- Armadillo: drops no scutes, stays rolled up and tumbles into creatures, then becomes a tiny magma cube
- Axolotl: attacks you and other animals, then becomes a guardian that drops nothing
- Bee: makes no honey and turns its hive against you, then becomes a vex
- Cat: draws creepers to it, phantoms aren’t scared of it, and its morning gifts are rotten flesh or spider eyes
- Fox: teleports like an enderman and destroys anything it picks up
- Frog: eats baby animals and never lays frogspawn or makes froglights
- Goat: screams and keeps charging every creature and player it sees, throwing them high; no milk, no horns
- Hoglin: becomes a zoglin straight away
- Ocelot: turns invisible (visible for 2 seconds every 10) and stalks you
- Panda: sneezes loudly, and every sneeze explodes and scatters fire around it
- Parrot: only fakes hostile mob sounds, never dances, and gives you nausea on your shoulder
- Polar bear: becomes a ravager
- Rabbit: becomes the killer bunny
- Sniffer: finds no seeds; where it digs, the ground turns to coarse dirt and plants are uprooted
- Strider: throws its rider off in lava and leaves fire behind it
- Turtle: its eggs hatch endermites
- Dolphin: no Dolphin’s Grace; drags swimmers down and gives them mining fatigue
- Cod, salmon and tropical fish: swim for land within 16 blocks, leap onto it, suffocate and turn into silverfish
- Pufferfish: stays puffed up and stings with wither instead of poison
- Tadpole: never grows into a frog, and dies
- Bat: bites you in the dark and spreads possession to anything it touches
- Wandering trader: becomes a witch, and his llamas turn on you
- Allay: empties nearby chests and barrels onto the ground
Squid
- Squid now spawn exactly like BTW: in pitch-dark water (light 1 or less) with water on all six sides, at any height in any biome, never within 24 blocks of you
- Squid never attack dolphins and swim away from them; a dolphin coming close makes a squid let go of your head
Soul Catcher
- Catches possession anywhere within 8 blocks in every direction, corners included (a cube, not a sphere)
Quest Book
- Over 30 new quests across every age
- The Age of Magic now comes before A New Age
- Existing quests updated, and quests with missing titles or wrong items fixed
Bug Fixes
- The game no longer freezes when an ocean monument, swamp hut or jungle temple loads for the first time
