DestinyCraft Evolved — Update v2.2.0

Version 2.2.0 focuses heavily on performance overhaul, deeper combat mechanics, expanded dungeon progression, and crucial stability fixes for long-term worlds and servers.

⚡ Performance & Engine Overhaul

• Render Pipeline Tuning: Overhauled core rendering parameters to stabilize frame times and eliminate micro-stuttering in dense biome regions and complex player bases.

• Memory & RAM Cleanup: Addressed latent memory leaks during extended play sessions. Memory garbage collection is now significantly less intrusive, preventing sudden freeze-spikes.

• Chunk Loading & Network Sync: Refined entity and tile-entity network packets to smooth out fast travel (gliding, mounts) and reduce server-side thread hitching (Can't Keep Up warnings).

• Entity AI Throttling: Optimized pathfinding routines for mob swarms inside underground structures and night events, reducing CPU overhead considerably.

⚔️ RPG Progression & Combat Systems

• Combat Feel & Animation: Refined attack swing windows, weapon recovery times, and directional dodges. Evasive rolls now feature tighter i-frame windows for more rewarding gameplay.

• Stat & Attribute Balancing: Rebalanced offensive, defensive, and utility attribute scaling to prevent runaway power spikes in late-game builds.

• Encounter Mechanics & Boss Fights:

  • Boss entities now feature dynamic health and poise scaling depending on the number of nearby active players.

  • Added unique attack patterns and phase transitions to key late-game encounters.

• Loot & Relics: Updated dungeon loot tables with new utility artifacts, passive charms, and rare gear sets that reward deep exploration.

🏰 Dungeons, Generation & World Changes

• Structure Overhauls: Integrated new custom layouts for underground complexes, strongholds, and nether fortresses with hidden rooms, trap mechanics, and elite encounters.

• Dimension Stability: Smoothed out terrain blending borders and fixed structure generation clipping in the Nether and End dimensions.

• Wildlife & Encounter Spawns: Fine-tuned spawn caps for hostile and ambient creatures to maintain world atmosphere without cluttering the entity count.

🛠️ Quality of Life & Bug Fixes

• UI & Menu Cleanups: Streamlined keybindings, HUD elements, and tooltips. Enchantments and dynamic stats now clearly display raw numbers and percentage modifiers.

• Inventory Handling: Added quick-sort shortcuts and improved backpack interaction UI.

• Resolved Issues:

  • Fixed a rare client crash triggered when opening specific anvil/smithing interfaces on multiplayer servers.

  • Resolved texture layer z-fighting on select decorative blocks when running shaders.

  • Fixed an issue where flying mob entities would lose pathfinding AI upon crossing dimensional portals.

  • Fixed an item duplication exploit related to quick-dragging items inside specialized storage containers.

📌 Update Recommendation: Back up your existing world save prior to updating from v2.1.x. For best results with new structure generation, explore previously unloaded chunks.
