Official Craftics Pack

0.4.3

Everyone Shown the Host's Emeralds

• Fixed the emerald counter in a party showing the host's balance instead of your own. It corrected itself only when you next bought something
• The victory screen, the waiting screen, the event prompt and the defeat screen's remaining-emeralds line now each send the player their own total

A Teammate's Open Container No Longer Stalls the Party

• Fixed an open screen swallowing the end of a fight. One player standing in a chest, a shulker or a backpack when somebody else landed the killing blow never saw the victory screen, the level transition or the next arena - the packets arrived behind whatever they had open, and from their seat the run simply stopped
• Nothing anywhere closed a player's screen at a combat boundary; the only hint the problem was known is that the loot overflow chest refuses to open when another screen already is
• Craftics' own screens are spared, because some of them are the thing being waited on: the post-battle loot screen is what advances the victory flow, so closing it from here would either skip the loot or deadlock the sequence this exists to unblock. Same for a trader mid-event

Backpacked Compatibility

• Battle loot now fills a worn backpack instead of stopping at the "Inventory Full" screen. Backpacks sit after the normal inventory and before the overflow chest, so they act as the extra capacity they are rather than filing away the potion you wanted on your hotbar
• Unstackable rewards go in too - a sword that will not fit is exactly what a backpack is for
• Reached entirely by reflection with no compile-time dependency, so Craftics builds and runs with Backpacked absent, and every failure path degrades to "no backpack" rather than breaking loot delivery

Simply Swords 1.70 Uniques

Ten unique weapons added in Simply Swords 1.70 now have Craftics abilities. They were falling through to generic gear inference before this, which can guess a damage number off an item but cannot give a weapon a signature move, so every one of them fought like a plain sword.

• Bloodwake - every hit deepens the bleed, and the hit that tops it out bursts the wound, spattering the tiles around it and drinking back a quarter of the blow
• Wraithmaw - spectral cutlasses collect above you as you fight, and each swing sends the ones you have hunting for other enemies on the field
• Soulstalker - abyssal tendrils come out of your back, so they strike what is beside you rather than beside your target. Standing in a crowd is the point
• Dreadwhisper - the first hit opens a Corrupted Wound, and striking the same wound again ruptures it for a second full hit and drains the target
• Gloampiercer - throws like a trident, and a shadow clone spears a second enemy near the one you hit, leaving Gloam that slows them
• Riftmane - spectral chargers gore the whole rank behind your target and scatter it
• Stormscale - plants a spectral glaive on the first swing. Every swing after pulses lightning at the planted tile, growing with each arrival
• Ionbound Stormscale - the same rod, plus ion cubes that bank up and discharge as a corridor that drags everything inward and paralyses it
• Dawnquiver - attacks at 4 tiles and conjures its own arrows of light, so it needs none from your quiver and takes no bow enchantments. Ordinary shots bank Dawn Chorus, and a full quiver of it looses three converging bows that pick their own targets
• The Devourer - an abyssal maw opens under your target, drags what is around them into its middle, and grows fatter every time it feeds

Legendary Weapons Missing From Their Own Loot Pool

• Fixed 22 unique weapons never appearing in the legendary section of a weapon lootbox, and being eligible to turn up as ordinary common rolls instead. The legendary pool was a hand-written list that had to be kept in step with the weapons Craftics registers, and it had fallen behind: the list is alphabetical and stops at "s", so every unique added after that point was missing. Twelve older weapons were affected before the ten that arrived with Simply Swords 1.70
• The list does two jobs and a missing weapon failed both, which is why it was invisible: absent from the legendary pool, and absent from the exclusion list that keeps boss-drop weapons out of the ordinary tiered pools
• The Simply Swords half is now derived from the uniques that actually registered, so the two can no longer disagree

Each weapon keeps the shape of its real behaviour rather than a literal copy: a charge-and-spend weapon stays charge-and-spend, and a weapon that wants you standing still still does. All ten join the unique boss-drop pool automatically.

The Enchanter Tells You What Might Happen

• Hovering a weapon or armor piece at the enchanter now lists a few things the enhancement could turn out to be. One of them is what you will actually get
• The enchanter was a blind roll, so getting Dull or Hilt back on a good weapon felt like the game had cheated rather than like a gamble that went badly. Nothing had ever told you a bad outcome was on the table. Seeing Dull sitting among the possibilities before you commit makes the same result read as a bet you took
• The decoys are drawn from the same pool the real result came from, so every option shown is something that genuinely could have happened. Padding the list with impossible entries would let you find the real one by elimination
• The enchanter only offers enchantments that would actually change the item. One it already carries stays on the table only while there is headroom above it, and when it comes up the level is forced past what is already there, so Sharpness III can become Sharpness IV but never Sharpness III again or, worse, a Sharpness II that reads as a downgrade
• A weapon it has nothing left to add to is no longer listed at all, rather than spending your one pick on an item that cannot change. Fully enchanted armor is offered a trim instead
• The roll is decided when the offer is made rather than when you accept, so the list can promise the truth is on it instead of guessing at a roll that has not happened yet. Where the position of the real entry is concerned, it lands anywhere in the list, since always-first or always-last would spoil the roll rather than warn about it

Infinite Arrows on Aimed Shots

• Fixed a bow never running out of ammunition for a player carrying only tipped or spectral arrows. Every "you need arrows" check in the mod counts all three arrow types, but the routine that actually spends one could only find plain arrows, so on any shot that does not resolve tipped and spectral arrows itself the check passed and nothing was paid
• Plain arrows are still spent first, so a tipped arrow is never quietly burned as ordinary ammunition while plain ones are sitting in the bag

Backpacked Augments

Most of Backpacked's augments hook events a turn-based arena never fires, so in Craftics they were dead weight the player had paid for. Seven now do something.

• Quiverlink - a bow finds arrows stored in the backpack. Before this, a player carrying a full quiver of them was silently dropped to melee range. Which store empties first follows the augment's own Priority setting, which defaults to the backpack
• Funnelling - battle loot goes into the pack before your inventory rather than after it, which is what the augment is for. Its item filter is honoured, so only the loot you asked for is diverted
• Lootbound - combat rewards are mob drops that never got to be entities, so they are pulled in the same way, following Funnelling's filter. Turning its "mobs" toggle off keeps battle loot out of the pack entirely
• Immortal - a Totem of Undying stored in the backpack now saves you in a fight. Hand and offhand totems are still spent first, matching the augment's own rule
• Reforge - Mending items inside the backpack repair from combat XP. Craftics awards XP directly rather than dropping orbs, which is the same reason ordinary Mending needed its own implementation here, so the backpack's items simply join that pool
• Recall - your backpack's contents survive the defeat coin-flip, provided the augment is linked to a Backpack Shelf. Without a shelf linked it protects nothing, exactly as the augment behaves on a normal death
• Giant - the extra space costs one tile of movement per turn. The penalty is dropped rather than leaving a player unable to move at all, so a low Speed stat cannot strand you

Backpacks Are No Longer a Death-Proof Vault

• Backpack contents now take the same defeat coin-flip as your main inventory, at the same rate. They sat outside it entirely before, so a worn backpack was a safe deposit box that a run's defeat could not touch, and battle loot filling one automatically would have made stuffing a backpack the obviously correct way to play
• Recall is the way to buy them back out of it

Standing in the Wrong Square

• Fixed the player's body drifting away from the tile the game is actually playing them on - the move highlights, your reach and enemy pathing all read one square while your character was drawn on another
• The grid is what the rules use and the body is only the picture. They are allowed to disagree for a moment - a dash commits the grid immediately and slides the body over several ticks, which is the point of the animation - but once nothing is animating, a disagreement is drift
• Nothing was correcting it in a solo fight. The turn switch re-derives the grid from the body, which would have papered over it, but that returns early when there is only one player in the queue, so a single player could drift and stay drifted for the whole level
• The body is snapped back to the grid, not the other way round. Moving the grid to meet a drifted body would silently relocate you in the fight; moving the body is only a cosmetic correction
• Skipped entirely while a dash, a scripted walk or a mount is moving you, so nothing fights an animation that is doing its job

Hay Bales Building Walls Instead of Feeding Animals

• Fixed the hay bale being treated as a building block rather than an item with a use. Clicking your own pet with one answered "Something's standing there" and clicking bare ground built a hay wall - so it could neither heal an ally nor tame a llama, both of which it is sold for
• Any block-shaped item that has a real combat use is now that thing rather than a wall. The exclusion list this used to rely on was hand-written, and the hay bale was simply missing from it; asking the item handler instead means an item gains a use and stops being a wall in one edit
• Blue ice and the respawn anchor were quietly in the same position and are fixed by the same change

Feeding Your Animals

• Fixed being unable to heal an animal ally with the food it eats. Raw or cooked meat and rotten flesh now heal a wolf, raw fish a cat, seeds a parrot, wheat and apples a horse, and so on down the list
• Only constructed allies could be healed before - an iron ingot on an iron golem, a snowball on a snow golem - because the registration binds exactly one item to one ally. That shape does not fit an animal, which eats any of a dozen things, so animals had no heal item at all and clicking one answered "you can't attack it"
• Feeding beats eating: raw beef held over your wolf is dinner for the wolf, and the same beef anywhere else is still dinner for you

Tamed Animals Go Home

• Animals tamed during a fight now return to your island at the end of that level instead of being carried through the rest of the run. Taming a wolf on level 3 is acquiring a wolf, not drafting one
• Pets you deliberately brought from the hub are unaffected and continue with you as before
• In a party each animal goes to its own tamer's island, not the run host's

Trial Chamber Enemies Hitting Far Too Hard

• Halved the damage scaling in trial chambers. Deep into a run a Breeze was swinging for roughly eight hearts
• Health and damage were scaled by the same multiplier, and they are not the same problem: triple health makes a fight longer, triple damage makes it shorter and the player is the one it ends. Health keeps the full surcharge; attack now gets half of it
• Trial spawns also skip the per-biome damage cap that restrains every campaign enemy. That is deliberate, so a trial can be a genuine step up, but it removed the one thing that would otherwise have caught the number growing out of range
• Floored at each mob's own base damage, so early trials are not softened into being easier than an ordinary level, and the Warden still out-hits everything around it
• The formula moved into its own class with no Minecraft types in it, so it can be executed in a test. It previously could not be: touching the trial chamber class at all needs a running game, which is how a number this far out survived
