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
