Strange Aeons: Sword and Sorcery

Stranger Aeons Reborn v2.1

A smaller follow-up update focused on endgame equipment balance and presentation.

Equipment Balance

• Rebalanced high-tier Botania armor so that its physical protection and overall power better fit the pack's late-game equipment progression.
• Adjusted the Botania armor sets with the same general philosophy used for the previously rebalanced Mana and Artifice Tier 5 faction armor: preserve each mod's unique equipment identity while preventing late-game armor from being unexpectedly weaker than much earlier gear.

New Custom Interface

• Thanks entirely to Kuma/Tuna/Miggy, we've added a heavily customized FancyMenu interface, including a new title screen, custom backgrounds, buttons, and other visual elements.
• Added the supporting FancyMenu dependencies and assets.
• Added custom menu music.
• Disabled FancyMenu customization on the Multiplayer / Join Server screen because of a compatibility issue that could cause the client to crash when clicking a server. This screen is intentionally left uncustomized.

GUI Scale Note

The custom menu layout may not display correctly at every Minecraft GUI scale. On first launch, some menu buttons may appear stacked or overlap.

If this happens:

1. Temporarily disable Current Screen Customization from the FancyMenu menu.
2. Change Minecraft's GUI Scale to a setting where the interface displays correctly.
3. Re-enable Current Screen Customization.

Once the appropriate GUI scale is selected, the custom menu should display normally.

Technical Changes

• Added FancyMenu 3.9.9 and its supporting client-side components.
• Added the custom Stranger Aeons FancyMenu layouts and assets.
• Updated the Botania armor-balance KubeJS configuration.
• Preserved the progression, recipes, Mana and Artifice armor balance, Fabric of Finality system, and other integrations introduced in the previous major update.
