Devil's Reach SMP

Version 1.0.4 — Quality of Life & Performance Update

Version 1.0.4 focuses on improving performance, stability, connectivity, and general quality of life across both client and server environments. This update does not make major changes to the core progression or exploration experience of Devil's Reach SMP, but instead improves the foundation the modpack runs on.

Added Mods

• Lithium — Adds extensive game-engine optimizations that improve Minecraft's performance on both the client and server. This helps improve tick performance, game processing, and overall efficiency without significantly altering vanilla behavior.
• Clumps — Groups nearby XP orbs together, reducing the number of individual entities that Minecraft needs to process. This can improve performance in areas such as mob farms or anywhere large amounts of XP are generated.
• Connectivity — Adds networking improvements intended to provide a more reliable multiplayer experience and help address connection-related issues.
• NetherPortalFix — Improves Nether portal behavior by helping ensure players return through the correct corresponding portal when traveling between dimensions.
• Visual Workbench — Improves the crafting experience by allowing items placed inside crafting tables to remain visible and persist within the crafting grid.
• Enchantment Descriptions — Adds useful descriptions to enchanted books and enchantments, making it easier to understand what an enchantment does without needing to look it up externally.
• Elytra Slot — Adds dedicated equipment support for Elytra, providing additional flexibility when equipping and using an Elytra.

Added Supporting Libraries & Dependencies

Several additional library and dependency mods have also been added to support the new functionality introduced in this update:

• Bookshelf
• Cupboard
• Prickle
• Puzzles Lib
• Trinkets

Additional Changes

Several existing mods have also been updated to newer versions as part of the 1.0.4 release.

Overall, Version 1.0.4 is primarily a quality-of-life, performance, and stability update, with particular attention given to improving how Minecraft performs and behaves in multiplayer environments. These changes should provide a smoother experience for both players and dedicated server hosts while maintaining the existing gameplay and exploration experience of Devil's Reach SMP.
