BlockBorn

# BlockBorn 1.0-beta.1

BlockBorn has reached its first beta release after the private alpha test phase.  
This version focuses on progression pacing, balance, team flow, and a cleaner multiplayer testing experience.

## Progression & Balance

- OneBlock phases have been significantly extended for a slower and more testable progression curve.
- Supply thresholds have been adjusted to better match the longer progression.
- Mining and Industry balance has been improved:
  - Iron and Andesite are more reliably available.
  - Iron Blocks, Copper Blocks, and Raw Copper Blocks are much rarer.
  - Andesite remains available across more phases.

## Mobs & Difficulty

- Hostile mob pressure now starts later:
  - Mining hostiles from block `1200`
  - Nether mobs from block `4000`
  - End mobs from block `6500`

## Island Arrival & Void Rescue

- Island arrival behavior has been updated.
- Players now fall more naturally onto or near their island.
- Void Rescue applies real damage while keeping the player at a minimum of half a heart.
- Falling, death, and grave behavior should now feel closer to normal Minecraft.

## Teams & Portal

- The portal GUI now follows a stronger team-first flow.
- Main options:
  - Create Team
  - Join Team
- Team creation now supports:
  - Open Team
  - Request Only
- Request Only is saved, but join-request handling is not fully active yet.

## Quests

- Added small item rewards to selected quest milestones.
- No XP rewards are included.
- The quest book remains primarily a guide and progression helper.

## Technical

- Improved SavedData lookups for:
  - Players
  - Team names
  - OneBlock positions
- Rebuilt the local CurseForge instance, modpack export, and ServerPack.
