Update Log — Create Magica: The Battle for Eidolon Reach (Oct 30, 2025)

Highlights

• JourneyMap removed → FTB Map (press M) + Antique Atlas mini-map.

• MineColonies re-added (stable pre–new-food release); no TPS hit in tests.

• New Bee mod (worldgen) → some chunk regeneration recommended; spawn vendor added.

• Auto-Leveling difficulty −20% → Freakager is now manageable at the intended baseline.

• Low-End Profile added for ~8 GB systems (fewer mods, lower visuals).

Removed

• JourneyMap (per stability feedback).

Mapping Changes

• Press M to open FTB Map.

• Antique Atlas is the intended “mini-map.”

  • Will be granted on first spawn in a coming patch; currently easy to craft.

  • Bonus: export sepia-style maps (PNG) via Custom Paintings for base decor.

Re-Added

• MineColonies — last version before the “new food” update.

  • Updated Structurize UI and dependencies.

  • Internal testing: notable stability improvements; no TPS impact observed.

Added

• Bee Mod (new bees, hives, worldgen).

  • Worldgen note: new content appears in newly generated chunks.

  • To help legacy worlds, a spawn villager will:

    • Buy missing parts that became awkward to obtain

    • Sell unique bees & beehives

Balance

• Auto-Leveling difficulty reduced by ~20%.

  • Tier-1 target: completable with Level 100 diamond gear, low-end enchants, and basic spells.

  • Freakager rebalanced accordingly.

• Official gate configs for Magispeller, Spirit Caller, and Freakager will finalize after further testing.

Performance / Accessibility

• Low-End Profile introduced (aim: ~8 GB RAM PCs):

  • Removes Distant Horizons, Replay Mod, Seamless Loading Screens

  • Lowers various graphics defaults

  • Community testing ongoing

World / Server Notes

• Server rollout planned: Oct 31 (MST).

• If you explore old saves, expect new bee content only in fresh chunks. Consider trimming/regen if you want it closer to base.

Known / Next Steps

• First-spawn Antique Atlas grant coming soon.

• Ongoing balance passes for T1 gates and reward tables.

• Please report issues (especially map/atlas behavior, MineColonies interactions, and bee worldgen) on the issue tracker or Discord.

Thanks for testing and for the feedback—keep the reports coming!
