── CHANGELOG ──

☠ SILENT CITIES — 2.4.8-BETA — Still Breathing, Barely ☠

"The ground gets harder the deeper you dig. The server gets worse the more you ask of it. I fixed a bug and turned it into a feature. The rest I forgot."

⚠ Alpha Release — C2ME (harichunk) and Lost Cities multithreaded chunk generation are in a fight. Expect 5–30% server blocking. You have been warned.

⚠️ Why BETA — The Harichunk Problem

C2ME does not play nicely with Lost Cities multithreaded chunk generation. The result is that it will block 5 to 30 percent of your server without warning or remorse. This is not fixed. This is not being ignored. This is just the world we live in right now. The pack releases as alpha because of this alone. Everything else works fine. Probably.

📅 Day Counter — Quieter Now

The day counter has been replaced with a single message that shows up once per day. It tells you what day it is, it goes away, it does not bother you again until tomorrow. Progress can still be measured. It is simply less loud about it.

🔫 Superb Warfare — Removed

Superb Warfare is gone. It added too much bloat and the pack does not need it right now. There are no vehicles. This is intentional. There may be vehicles in the future — a mod is being developed in the zombie community that would finally let them spawn freely in the city — but that is a future problem. For now, you walk. You run. You are eaten.

⛏️ Block Breaking — Now a Feature

There was a bug with block breaking. It has been fixed and then immediately repurposed. The ground is now denser the deeper you dig. Mining near the surface feels normal. Mining deep feels like the earth does not want you there. It does not.

🩸 Blood Particles — Added, Carefully

Blood particles are in. They will not freeze your server, unlike a certain previous attempt we do not talk about. There is probably some FPS loss if you are shooting into a massive horde, but the performance was not great before either, so you should already be used to this. Enjoy the carnage.

🔧 Create Addons — Slightly Different

The Create addons have changed slightly. You will probably notice. It will probably be fine.

📋 Quests — On Hold

Quests are on hold for now. They are not gone. They are just sitting in a corner thinking about what they want to be. Give them time.

⚙️ Performance & Mods — Updated

A batch of mods has been updated to their latest versions and general performance has been improved, at least a little. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

🌍 The Future — 1.21.1

A port to 1.21.1 NeoForge is being seriously considered. Better performance, Create Aeronautics, and a fresher base. It will be a massive amount of work. It will not happen soon. It will happen eventually. The apocalypse is patient.

👻 The Forgotten Changes — Lost to the Fog

There were other small tweaks and fixes made during this update. Notes were not kept. They are gone from memory. Consider whatever you find a surprise. If it works, it was intentional.


"Same apocalypse. Denser ground. Blood everywhere. Still broken in new and exciting ways."
