Update Summary:

This minor update overhauls the damage and enchantments system for better late-game balance. Items can now only have a maximum of three enchantments (not including Mending, Unbreaking, Efficiency, and Stepping). Enchanting gems cannot be used on diamond, netherite, advanced netherite, or ignitium items, but they can be applied beyond the enchanting cap. 30+ new enchantments have been added to encourage more diverse item builds. Notably, the Stepping enchant allows players to walk up one-block ledges similar to horse movement, the Spartan Weapon enchant provides bonus magic damage while wielding a shield, and the Focused Impact enchantment increases the damage of slow weapons.

The multiplayer update is currently delayed pending critical updates from mod developers but is still planned as the next update.

Known issues:

• Entering the mods/config menus can cause the game to stop rendering entities on the client. To fix, quit to desktop and re-open.
• While on a server, JER only displays vanilla mob and dungeon drops.
• Text in guidebooks may be illegible at certain resolutions. Resizing the UI scale within a patchouli book can fix text rendering.

• Items sent to mailboxes made of modded wood types can only be retrieved by breaking the receiving mailbox.
