Fish Farm Festival 1.4.3 — Balance and Backports

Safe to update an existing world, with one thing to do first: Tom's Simple Storage has been removed (see "Removed" below). Take your items out of Tom's Open Crates before you update.

Festival merchant

Existing festival merchants update themselves the first time you load the world. Nothing needs to be done by hand.

• A second set of Seasonal Orders. The orders now alternate by in-game year (96 days): one set one year, a new set the next, then back again. Rewards for each order are unchanged. Your Festival Passport, the Almanac and the trade list always show the set for the current year.
• Token Shop prices are doubled for almost everything. Festival Treasure and everything paid in emeralds keep their prices, except the ones below.
  • Seeds and saplings cost more: Asparagus Seeds (4) 24 tokens, Grape Seeds (2) 20 tokens, Apple Tree Sapling 8, Dark Cherry Sapling 8. The Bee Nest at the Blossom Fair costs 24.
  • The Sniffer Egg is no longer sold for tokens. It is still in the Emerald Shop.
  • The Nether Star costs 80 tokens, paid as 64 + 16. It used to show 80 but charged 64.
• Crops pay less. In Season trades ask for three times as many crops (still 2 tokens), and Sell for Tokens asks for twice as many (still 1 token). For example 15 Strawberries or 18 Ginger In Season.
• Fish pay a little less, and there is more to catch. Each In Season fish trade asks for 1.75 times as many fish, for example 14 instead of 8. Rare fish that pay 2 tokens for a single fish are unchanged. Every season also buys 4 more kinds of fish.
• Daily limits. Each In Season trade can be made 3 times a day (6 tokens). Sell for Tokens pays at most 3 tokens a day per trade. The limits reset when the in-game day changes (every 20 minutes). The titles in the trade list say so.
• The Passport and Almanac now say "a better rate than usual" instead of "over twice the normal rate".

Skills

• Chef and Angler XP is five times higher for eating dishes, catching fish, discovering new fish and dishes, underwater treasure and the Dish of the Season. Killing Drowned and Guardians does not earn more, so they cannot be farmed.
• The Grand Fishing Derby still awards Bronze, Silver and Gold at the same fishing effort as before (100, 250 and 500 points).
• New fish discoveries: the 53 Hybrid Aquatic fish now count as discoveries and pay Angler XP the first time you catch each one.

Fish and food

• Tide fish can be cooked. All Tide fish count as raw fish in Farmer's Delight cooking pots. Cooked Fish, Small Cooked Fish and Cooked Fish Slice from Tide give Seafood Simple buffs, and Large Cooked Fish and Grilled Tuna give Seafood Basic buffs, with Chef XP.
• Fish Bag: now also catches 12 more Hybrid Aquatic fish that it used to refuse, such as the Betta.
• Creature Net: the Hybrid Aquatic Creature Net cannot catch Tide fish. Catch those with a fishing rod, and store them with the Fish Bag.

Cinnamon

• Cinnamon models show up again.
• Cinnamon Sapling: Cinnamon logs drop it (15% per log, never with Silk Touch), and a Cinnamon Sapling now grows by itself in light level 9 or more. It takes about 17 minutes on average. This only works for saplings you place after this update; saplings placed earlier and saplings from a Dispenser still need bone meal.
• The "Old fish tidied up" chat message is gone.

New: Copper Age and Spears

Two Minecraft backports join the pack (both are needed on the client and on the server).

• Copper Age Backport 0.1.4: the Copper Golem and its Copper Chest, copper tools, armor and horse armor, Copper Torch, Copper Lantern, Copper Chain, Copper Bars, Copper Door and Trapdoor, Copper Bulb and Grate, Chiseled Copper, copper buttons, Copper Golem Statues, lightning rods that oxidize, and Shelves in every wood type, including Pale Oak. Everything weathers and can be waxed like the copper blocks you already have.
• Backported Spears 1.4.7: Wooden, Stone, Copper, Iron, Golden, Diamond and Netherite Spears and the Lunge enchantment, which propels you forward when the spear is used. Smelting a metal spear back into nuggets does not work in this version of the mod.

Removed

• Tom's Simple Storage is gone. Its blocks (Storage Terminal, Open Crate, Connectors and so on) turn into air and the items inside them disappear, and its items are removed from your inventory. Before you update, take everything out of your Open Crates. Tom's blocks themselves cannot be kept, even in a chest. Chests, barrels, backpacks and the new Copper Chests still hold your things.
• Obscure API and Melody were removed. Nothing in the pack needed them.

Mods

Added: Copper Age Backport 0.1.4, Backported Spears 1.4.7. Updated: Collective 8.42 to 8.53, Pufferfish's Skills 0.19.1 to 0.19.2, Puzzles Lib 8.1.33 to 8.1.36, AsyncParticles 20.1.4.0-beta.2 to 20.1.4.1, Entity Culling 1.11.2 to 1.11.3. Removed: Tom's Simple Storage, Obscure API, Melody.

For server owners

• Copy the Core 1.4.3 jar and three config files: config/puffish_skills/categories/fff_angler/experience.json, .../fff_chef/experience.json and config/betterfishtanks.json. Without them, XP from eating and fishing stays at the old rates and Grand Fishing Derby medals become five times harder to earn.
• The first time players log in after the update, the log shows errors about unknown toms_storage recipes and ignored toms_storage advancements. This is the game clearing old data from players' recipe books. It happens once and is harmless.
• Back up the world and the old mods folder before you update. Do not replace Core while the server is running.
