What's new

Very big update, please back up your worlds before updating.

Key Takeaways from this update:

  • Significantly improved performance
  • No more tornadoes
  • Reworked weather
  • Significant improvement to quality of life (QOL)
  • Improved questbook
  • Other misc. improvements

Please report any issues or suggestions you have in the comments, that's why this version is in beta currently!

Also remember that if you are not upgrading from the previous version or downloading Darkhour for the first time, any and all items from "fapdos' Nether Mobs: Recrafted" will be deleted!

Full changelog:

Questbook:

  • Removed Weather Deflector quest
  • Somewhat reworked Path of the Warrior
  • Added quest for the new Stardust recipe
  • Changed "Tools of the Trade" quest in the Hexcasting branch of Path of the Arcanist to better fit Amethyst changes
  • Changed "Mounted Blaze Rod" quest in the Reactive branch of Path of the Arcanist to better fit the Blaze Rod changes
  • Added quest for new Kiln block
  • Added quests for the new Hex Casting addons
 

Misc. Custom Changes:

  • Added new methods of managing your Amethyst supplies
  • Added new method of acquiring Blaze Rods in the early game
  • Reduced cost of crafting the Hex Casting Spellbook
  • Changed how the crafting recipes for the Nether Star and Essence of Purity work, effectively making Nether Stars infinite (due to how difficult they are to obtain)
  • Added new method of acquiring Stardust
  • Applied a block swap to Sky Rock from Skyfall, all Sky Rock will now turn into Meteorite blocks from Mofu's Better End. This was done to remove an exploit that would effectively make Diamonds and other resources completely infinite if you had Silk Touch. Sorry to anyone that used Sky Rock in their builds.
  • Removed Blast Furnace Vitrified Sand recipe because it broke the Kiln for making Glass (since thunderstorms are now much more common, you can use Copper Nuggets specifically on Sand to get it semi-naturally)
  • Reduced the cost to turning Rotten Flesh into Leather from 4 Saltpeter to 1 Saltpeter
  • Changed the recipe of the Empty Impetus from Hex Casting to use Polished Lavendite Blocks so that the block is no longer End-locked
