🔧 Update 1.5

⚠️ Heads up: this pack is heavy. If you haven't already, use the JVM flags listed in the pack description, they make a real difference for both load times and stability.

🌍 Also important: I strongly recommend starting a fresh world on 1.5. There's been a full overhaul across progression, world generation and a long list of mechanics. Bringing a 1.0 world into this update will break things. From 1.5 into 2.0 and beyond, this won't be an issue anymore.

This update covers several issues, fixes inconsistencies, and overhauls aspects that I was unsatisfied with. More importantly, it finally introduces what actually represents the "Pokémon meets Industrial Revolution" idea behind this pack.

🛠️ New mods I built for this pack

• Cobblemon Server Fix — fixes a Cobblemon sync issue that only shows up on dedicated servers
• TFMG Converter Fix — fixes a bug with The Factory Must Grow's converter block

📜 Quests

• Added over 1,150 new quests, backed by 12,000+ lines of KubeJS code
• Fixed quests tied to photo objectives
• New quest line for CobbleSafari
• New quest line covering Legendary Monuments / LumyMon progression
• Expanded the "Prospecting" quest line to cover the new ores
• Added tiered progression that splits the pack into clear stages
• Fixed visual issues across a number of quests

⚙️ Tech & Cobblemon Progression Overhaul

This is the real core of 1.5, tech progression is now fully tied to Cobblemon progression, and the reverse is true too.

• Cloning machines now depend on Create progression
• The Pasture block now depends on Create progression
• New Custom Machine: Advanced Incubator — the machine that comes after the base Incubator, crafted with ores exclusive to the Safari dimension, lets you automate Pokémon spawning using Poké Juice
• Adamantite, Celestium, Tectonic and Morphite now only spawn in the Safari dimension
• Adamantite can now only be processed in its liquid form
• Create: Metallurgy and TFMG were fully balanced against each other to remove duplicate items and duplicate processes
• Added 11 new custom vents, each tied to a specific ore, so you can farm through Create: Borealum, Astralith, Proteum, Breccia, Nickeline, Primordium, Fractaline, Resonum, Brambletuff, Galena and Bauxite
• Viridium can now only be extracted as a liquid, through molten processing in The End
• The Origin Ingot (Legendary Monuments) can now only be extracted as a liquid, through molten processing in the Distortion World, tying it to Create progression
• Create: Metallurgy / TFMG progression is now tied to Cobblemon and requires Steel-type Pokémon
• Heat Fragment and Heat Splinter are now obtained through the tech path

🌴 CobbleSafari Dimension

The Safari dimension is now split into two distinct areas:

• Surface — every Pokémon type can spawn here
• Underground — unique ore spawns, but several Cataclysm mobs spawn here as well, so come prepared

🏛️ Legendary Monuments & LumyMon Rework

A big cleanup pass to remove redundancy between these two mods and tie their progression together.

Structures:

• Fixed hundreds of incompatibilities between Legendary Monuments and LumyMon
• Removed Regice, Regirock, Registeel, Split Decision Temple and Snowpoint Temple (redundant with Legendary Monuments — kept the Legendary Monuments version)
• Removed LumyMon's Whirl structure (duplicate of Legendary Monuments)
• Removed LumyMon's Ho-Oh structure, Secret Garden, Spear Pillar, Burned Tower and Heatran Cave (all redundant)
• Removed LumyMon's Dyna Tree (kept the Legendary Monuments version)
• Removed Legendary Monuments' Final Island (duplicate of LumyMon)
• Removed Legendary Monuments' Hall of Origin (redundant)
• Removed Legendary Monuments' Dream Catcher and Dream String (kept LumyMon's structures instead)
• Kept Giratina Island from Legendary Monuments; LumyMon's patch for it is not applied
• Removed Dusk Tower and Dawn Tower (used to spawn the respective Necrozma forms), this now depends on Cosmog and fusion instead
• Removed several LumyMon radars that no longer made sense; the Arc Phone is now required for most structures (a universal radar is planned for later)
• Ported and merged LumyMon and Legendary Monuments content properly
• Massive reduction in useless structures overall, structure spawns tied to Cobblemon should be more frequent now, and worldgen should be noticeably lighter

Legendary items & drops:

• Removed the Red Chain from LumyMon and CobbleSafari; kept only the Legendary Monuments version, which now has alternate paths (summon or defeat the 3 lakes, plus defeat Giratina in the CobbleSafari Distortion Dimension)
• Removed Claw, Plume and Fang from LumyMon, the 3 lakes now drop LumyMon's version of these items, and defeating them drops a Jewel as an alternative path to the Red Chain
• Commander Jupiter, Commander Mars and Commander Saturn now drop their respective legendarymonuments:proof_of_conquest_*
• Cyrus (Team Galactic HQ) now drops a legendarymonuments:red_chain
• Removed the Vortex Stone recipe
• Removed the Red Orb and Blue Orb recipes
• Team Rocket's Giovanni (Johto) now drops the Vortex Stone, used to summon Lugia at the altar
• Removed the Silver Wing, kept the Legendary Monuments item instead
• Rocco now drops a Latios Treat and a Latias Treat, used to summon Latios and Latias
• Reworked all 18 Elemental Plate recipes to make active use of endgame ores
• Replaced the base Galar urns' ingredients with the matching LumyMon elemental feathers (Ember, Thunder, Glacier for the Embers, Storms and Frost urns)
• Added a shapeless recipe for LumyMon's Rainbow Wing using the Legendary Monuments Red, Blue and Yellow Feather
• Summoning Palkia and Dialga now drops a Space Globe and a Time Globe, used in an alternate LumyMon Azure Flute recipe that unlocks the structure needed to summon Arceus
• The alternate Azure Flute recipe uses the Spatial Flute and Temporal Flute (dropped by Palkia and Dialga), Giratina is no longer required for this path

🔍 EMI & Data Sync

• Overwrote Cobblemon's base KubeJS files to guarantee proper sync with EMI
• Fixed hundreds of entities showing up bugged in EMI
• Fixed a triplicated Pokémon entry in EMI (down to two, not perfect yet, but expected for now)
• Added informative EMI tooltips for competitive items (Power Items, Choice Items, Focus Sash, Assault Vest, etc.)
• Added tooltips for Origin Ore, the new Depleted Orestones, fossils, and Molten Orestone

👷 Cobbleworkers Integration

• Deeper integration between Create and Cobblemon through Cobbleworkers
• Added dozens of new Cobbleworkers jobs

💰 Economy
