Iron Odyssey

📌 Iron Odyssey v0.0.5 — The Quality of Life & Balancing Update

This update focuses heavily on Quality of Life (QOL) improvements to make your journey smoother, paired with major rebalancing for end-game content and dungeon progression.

🛠️ Quality of Life & UI Improvements

• Keybind Search: Added a search bar in the controls menu to easily find and configure your keybinds.

• Enhanced Inventory Controls: Improved mouse interactions and shortcuts within inventories.

• Shulker Box Tooltips: Hovering over a Shulker Box will now display its full contents directly.

• New Item Indicators: Newly acquired items in your inventory will now feature a small star in the top corner.

• Better JEI Integration: Just Enough Items (JEI) has been upgraded to clearly show which mobs drop specific items.

• Clean Potion Displays: Reworked and modernized the active potion effects overlay for better screen visibility.

• Visual Polish: Added an animated texture pack for Ice and Fire tools.

⚖️ Gameplay & Skill Rebalancing

• Skill Requirement Overhaul: Completely reworked the required skills and level thresholds for several items to ensure a smoother progression curve.

• No More Free HP: Fixed an issue where leveling up skills gave permanent bonus health points (attributes isolated).

• Thirst & Saturation Visibility: The water hydration system now correctly displays saturation levels, perfectly matching the food bar.

🐉 Bosses & World Rebalancing

• Ice and Fire Dragons: Dragons are now significantly rarer, but they have been made way stronger. Spotting one is now a true boss encounter!

• Cataclysm Bosses: Various bosses from L&E's Cataclysm have received necessary buffs and nerfs to balance combat.

• Desert Temples: Completely revamped and upgraded desert temples with better structures and traps.

• Doomlike Dungeons Loot Nerf: Completely rebalanced the loot tables. Epic loot drops have been heavily nerfed, and Nether Stars have been entirely removed. (Seriously, why fight the Wither if a regular dungeon drops them for free? Overpowered loot fixed!)

• Harder Progression: Increased the overall world difficulty scaling over time to keep the challenge alive.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Compatibility

• Shader & Night Events Fix: Integrated a compatibility mod to prevent random screen-discoloration flashes during specific night events when using shaders (experimental fix, pending feedback).

📢 Note for Players

As always, feel free to report any bugs or share your feedback on the difficulty changes! Good luck on your journey through the Iron Odyssey.
