Ruthless Frontiers — Patch Notes

0.4.0 — Ashen Void Update

Headline Features

The End

The End dimension has been completely overhauled with a fully custom generation system. End progression is now fully integrated into the modpack's gameplay loop.

The End's atmosphere has been reworked to match, with darker base lighting (30% intensity), reworked fog and darkness settings, custom star fields (128 stars, 60% opacity).

Daily Hordes

A new horde system introduces regular combat encounters. The Ashen Legion mod adds organized hostile forces that assault players on a daily cycle, primarily consisting of Ashen Legion hordes punctuated by zombie hordes.

Distant Horizons Integration

Distant Horizons is now fully enabled, providing massive draw distances with minimal performance impact. To compensate, vanilla render distance has been reduced from 16 to 6 chunks — Distant Horizons fills the gap far beyond what vanilla rendering could achieve.
