What's new

Additions:

-More pillager tower variants
-Pillager outpost overhaul
-more potion types - now there are huge potions and small potions (to make potions stronger as they lack utility with the old health system)
-River redux
-Swampier swamps (different frog mod)
-biome dither mod to help especially with older worldgen types
-added colorful slime blocks
-added more glass blocks via Glass
-added invis item frames via round's invisible frames
-placing wool next to mechanism blocks now silences them
-added cotton candy
-added fire arrows
-added sit mod that lets you sit on slabs & stairs
-added let me despawn mod
-added particle core mod
-added fastload mod to optimize world loading
-more menu text splashes
-added soaring phantoms mod to try and fix the disgusting Phantom spawn mechanics. Now phantoms spawn at night when you go above a certain height limit.
-added slime jump mod
-shielded zombies mod
-added more banner features mod
-added horseshoes mod to speed up horses
-added Rosegold to replace the previously added rubies

Removed features:

-removed random mob sizes due to the fact that modded creatures don't get affected
-removed additional pottery mod due to unknown bug preventing correct color rendering
-removed entity model & texture features mod as it isn't required for any other mods
-removed anvil repair mod bcs the same function can be enbaled through fabrication mod
-removed ruby content, the mod was removed from curseforge and unusable for official modpack sharing
-removed dynamic brewing stand mod as it was also removed from curseforge
-removed noisium mod as it was incompatible with fabric

Reworks:

-fixed broken cow ass textures
-added new blocks to the "path blocks" list: smooth stone & diamond block
-you can't climb ladders with 1 block space inbetween anymore
-fixed a visual bug where sheep heads were glowing in the dark 
-changed shield skins to fit the betacraft styled shield texture
-sun & moon now follow an angled path in the sky, changing this too much caused incompatibilities between the skybox & sky objects (like nightsky appearing way after sunset)
-added mob variant fix texture pack to fix missing dog textures
-changed mooblooms to be much less common as they used to spawn quite frequently for what I wanted to be a special mob
-daynight lighting levels now change smoothly as the janky chunk updates tended to result in visual glitches
-rebalanced elytra flight as it felt too underwhelming
-changed dynamic light mod as the lithium-specific mod added light glitches to slabs & other blocks
-Experience bar has been removed, alternatively a text appears to the right of your hotbar
-enabled old boat/water physics
-brought back old fire spread
-increased max mob health so now mobs are even harder to kill at farther distances, but they gain a bit less stats with distance (so now the most hard mobs appear a bit farther than they did previously)
