This Week in Velmoria

Update 2.0.2

Greetings, Seeker. This week in Velmoria, we’re rolling out Update 2.0.2, a focused quality-of-life and balance patch aimed at tightening progression rules, improving UI clarity, and addressing several long-standing edge cases. This update also includes seasonal flair for the Festival of Glacis, alongside important SMP and balance adjustments.

Let’s get into it.

Patch Highlights

• A full overhaul of the Level Unlock Screen, now clearer, cleaner, and including boss levels.
• Progression rules are now fully enforced, even in creative mode.
• Multiple exploits around armor equipping have been closed.
• Seasonal festivities continue—Creepers are once again embracing Glacis fashion.
• Several problematic items have been disabled to stabilize balance going forward.

Update 2.0.2 – Changes

General

• Updated pack icon and window icon.
• Blocks can no longer be broken without the required level, including in creative mode.
• Armor can no longer be equipped without meeting its level requirement, including being:
  • Shift-clicked
  • Manually placed
  • Right-click equipped
• Fixed an IllegalStateException caused by removing entities from teams they were never part of.
• Creepers will wear Santa hats for the remainder of the Festival of Glacis.
• Completely redesigned Level Unlock Screen.

• Added level guide inventory button.

Progression Updates

Level requirements have been added for content from:

• Paradise Lost
• Knight Quest
• Companions
• Simply Swords (no uniques yet)
• Mythic Metals (no armor yet)

These changes bring all major gear sources in line with Velmoria’s intended progression curve.

Known Issues

• Armor may appear to disappear when right-clicked without the required level.
• This is visual only—the item is not lost and will reappear appropriately.

SMP Changes

• Players must now verify their account before joining the SMP.
• Once verified, players may request whitelist access.
• This improves server security and helps ensure a smoother experience for everyone.

Balance Changes

Bosses

• Conjunctivius: Increased health and damage.
• Blackstone Golem: Increased health and damage.

Recipes

• Adjusted several recipes to improve compatibility with AdventureZ.
