DECEMBER UPDATE
Hey everyone. This might come as some sad news, but the next few updates are going to be some of my last. I've had a fun time making the Bracken Pack, but ultimately it's been taking up way too much of my time and I'd like to adventure out and try some other projects out.
The Dormis update and Underdark trade center are still two MUST ADD projects I still plan on including but I figured I should at least give you all a heads up about the future of the pack.
As far as creative direction is concerned, (I've said it before and I'll say it again) this universe is your universe. Make characters, write stories, and code to your heart's content. If you are a fan, you own the Bracken Pack.
Here are the following changes. Works for 1.21.3 but since the latest full release update just dropped expect an update soon.
-Added long-awaited Dormis maze structure. Includes 50 jigsaws that can assemble together in different ways.
-Added Holdkeeper Guard trial spawners to maze. Tanky as heck, and shoots flaming arrows. They also have unicorn horns.
-Buffed vitality enchantment again. A full set of verdant armor now gives you 12 hearts.
-Special thanks to Fluffypanda in the official discord for setting up this one. Mojang's enchantment changes had capped the effectiveness of the thorns enchantment rendering the shepherdess cloak very weak. Intrinsic thorns enchantment has now been added. Does far greater damage than thorns. Fluffy, you rock! Thanks for helping us out on this one.
-Shepherdess cloak now grants a large entity interaction range attribute instead of one fewer hearts.
-Secret Sanctum boss defeat advancement fixed.
-Smeglin item burn advancement fixed.-Realmkeepers don't receive bad omen when in Dormis.
-Made increased cooldown for biome sound effects in Dormis.-Replaced firework trap in Sanctum embassy with tnt spam trap. Much more fun!>:)
-Fixed issue, which I had until today assumed was patched. Admin test version of Sanctum boss had zero issues but in
-game version couldn't spawn in. Whoops.
-Fixed issue where intrinsic mending could be stacked with normal mending enchantment.
-Fixed silvered lightning and mace damage reduction enchantment which was only working when held in hand.
EARLY NOVEMBER UPDATE
Gonna be away on the 7th. Update gets here early!
UPDATE CHANGES
Updated to the full release of Minecraft 1.20.3!
ABILITY BOOK CHANGES
-Cleaned up and improved ability book code (Conure)
-Added empty click noise when books are used without enough xp (Bracken, Conure)
-Added VOID PULL ability. Only accessible with commands at this point. (Grandmaster)
ENCHANTMENT CHANGES
-Drafted lunarite test enchantments. Stats vary depending on the moon’s phases. (Conure, Crim-dev)
-Vitality enchantment intrinsic to all verdant armors has been buffed by 50%. (Bracken)
-Added silvered fix enchantment. Cannot be removed with a grindstone. Items enchanted with silvered cannot accommodate any other enchantments. Armor enchanted with silvered also protect from damage received by lighting and mace smash attacks. (Bracken, Remote)
-Poison fix enchantment intrinsic to verdant weapons now ignores a portion of a target’s armor similar to the breaching enchantment. (Bracken)
-Added astuteness fix enchantment. Intrinsic to silk armor pieces. Periodically summons experience orbs at the wearer’s location. Cannot be removed with a grindstone. (Bracken)
-Added Fae silk patch inscription process. This process allows the player to duplicate enchanted books. (Bracken)
Using a smithing table, players can take any enchanted book, a silk patch, and a diamond, and craft it into two inscribed silk patches. These inscribed patches “record” the original enchantments the book had.
They can then be used with a normal, unenchanted book and an experience bottle, to make two, identical enchantment books.
ITEM CHANGES
-Added mim silk strand. Found in various loot tables in the Faewild. Intended in the near future to be a mob drop. (Bracken)
-Added mim silk patch. Made with 9 silk strand using a crafting table. (Bracken)
-Added mim silk armor. Crafted with silk patches similar to how leather can be used to make leather armor. The mim silk grants the same amount of armor as chainmail. Mim silk comes passively enchanted with astuteness. (Bracken)
-Added silk inscribed patch. Critical ingredient used to duplicate enchantment books. (Bracken)
-Added bandana wearable item. Grants slight luck attribute bonus. Found in Underdark loot tables. (Bracken)
-Added tinted glasses wearable item. Grants blindness immunity. Found in Underdark loot tables. (Bracken, Conure)
-Added wolf hood wearable item. Grants attack damage bonus. Found in Glacium loot tables. (Bracken)
-Implemented night vision goggles in-game. Grants night vision when worn. Found in Sanctum loot tables. (Bracken, Conure)
-Added weighted cuffs wearable item. Reduces player movement speed, increases player gravity, and greatly reduces attack range. Absolutely debilitating if paired with the curse of binding enchantment. Found in Faewild, Brine, and Dormis loot tables. (Bracken)
-Added blindfold wearable item. Greatly reduces vision. Found in Brine and Faewilod loot tables. (Bracken)
-Implemented power arms in-game. Greatly extends block interaction range when worn. Found in Sanctum loot tables. (Bracken)
-Implemented diving helm in-game. Greatly extends water breathing time when worn. Found in Sanctum and Brine loot tables. (Bracken)
-Added silversteel ingot. Crafted with four netherite scrap and four iron ingots in a shapeless pattern.Just like when you craft a netherite ingots, but with iron instead of gold. (Bracken)
-Added silversteel armor, weapons, and tools. 20 items total. Silversteel items are crafted using a smithing table the same way as netherite items (needing diamond items as a base as well as a netherite upgrader template). Silversteel items possess the silvered enchantment, preventing silversteel items from ever being enchantable outside of using cheats. Enchanted diamond items will lose all enchantments and curses if crafted into silversteel. Silversteel armor pieces have +1 more armor than netherite, meaning a full silversteel armor set provides 24 armor. Silversteel weapons also do +1 more damage than their netherite equivalents. (Bracken)
-Added old world bronze ingot. Crafted with four netherite scrap and four copper ingots in a shapeless pattern. Ok, I’ll admit I’ve been obsessively watching a lot of diy metallurgy videos lately, don’t judge me. (Bracken)
-Added old world bronze armor, weapons, and tools. 20 items total. Just like silversteel, old world bronze items are crafted using a smithing table with diamond base items and a netherite upgrader template. Old world bronze armor pieces have +1 more armor than netherite; however, they possess zero armor toughness. A full set provides 24 armor. Old world bronze weapons also do +0.5 more damage than their netherite equivalents. (Bracken)
-Cryolith armor pieces now each grant -3 armor toughness instead of zero. The game’s mechanics don’t calculate for armor toughness values less than zero, so this won’t actually change the effectiveness of the armor. However, this will reduce the effectiveness of wearing cryolith with other types of armors that contribute armor toughness. For example, a player wearing a netherite chestplate (+3 armor toughness) and cryolith helmet (-3 armor toughness) will have zero net armor toughness. (Bracken)
WORLDGEN CHANGES
-Added yonder saltbreaker bay biome in honor of Yoann! Contains abundant calcite and diorite features that makes boat travel more challenging. More additional features planned. (Bracken)
-Added cinder harbor biome. Contains abundant lava and magma blocks. Abundant bubble columns add a minor challenge to swimming here. (Bracken)
-Cleaned a multitude of dimension biome references. (Conure)
PLAYER CHANGES
-Greatly improved enderling tp dynamic. Enderling tp indicator now has a visual cooldown animation. (Conure)
-Improved how the game detects effect changes as well as effect immunities. (Conure)
TEXTURE CHANGES
-Added camera overlay to blindfold, diving helm, cryolith helmet, night vision goggles, verdant helmet, and tinted glasses. (Bracken)
MOB CHANGES
-Fixed issues with mob movement in Brine. Jellyfish no longer fly out of the ocean. (Conure, Grandmaster)
-Improvements made to dunkleosteus AI. (Conure Grandmaster)
-Fixed issue with overspawning mobs in Brine. Inadvertently fixed other issues such as turtles not spawning in Brine. (Bracken, Conure)
-Fixed issue with overspawning glow squid in Underdark. (Bracken)
-Found and corrected obsolete .generic and .player attributes used in custom mobs. (Conure)
-Fixed issue with Brine mobs holding and using tridents. (Conure, Grandmaster)

BOY I SURE DO LOVE MAKING HOTFIXES
In a rush to release the last hotfix, I accidentally unleased an abomination of a structure test I had never intended to see the light of day.
Within version #110, a giant 5 block thick obsidian floor coats the entirety of the overworld at around y=15. This is obviously bad for anyone hoping to get diamonds from the overworld or just dig in general.
In addition, an obsidian ceiling exists in the nether at y=123, but is less obstructive given the nether's bedrock ceiling is already at y=128. Both obsidian structures have now been removed.
In other news, here are some new features I've been working on.
-You can now locate the Sanctum embassy and Omnidrome living palace structures with eyes of ender.
-Bedrock blocks are no longer immune to sculk spread.
-Cryolith base item has been changed from a repeating command block to a retextured/edited spawn egg. Don't worry it won't spawn anything if you click it (Unless you guys in the Discord have something in mind)
-Lustra pearl base item has also been changed from a command block (gross) to a spawn egg.
-Visit all underdark biomes advancement has finally been fixed.
-Fixed issue with Panacea rain event commands not working.
HOTFIX (again)
Ughhhhh! What now? Another crash-causing event has been discovered in the faewild. I've reworked the faewild malmsy candles again as well as nerfed the number of faewild trees. I've also gotten rid of all gravel in the faewild just as an added precaution. So sorry about this one guys!

JUNE UPDATE
Managed to get one more update out before taking a summer break from working on the project. Here are the changes.
1.20.6 Update Changes:
This was a massive effort that took the majority of the month’s time and effort. Advancements, recipes, predicates, the pax portal system, tag instances, brine potion system, species fruits, metallic apples, ability books, dimension effects, mob spawning, boss fights, particle displays, admin commands, and several worldgen features had to be individually tweaked. A huge, HUGE thank you belongs to Grandmaster and Crimdev for joining me in this massive endeavor. I was pretty worried we wouldn’t be able to make it in time before my summer break started but WE DID IT!. I hope you guys enjoy the next three months and I’ll be back before you know it!
Item changes:
-Meteoric tool/weapon variants have been added. Meteoric items are a low-quality, unrefined variant of netherite. Meteoric weapons deal the same amount of damage as netherite and meteoric tools can break the same blocks that netherite items can; however, they have much less durability and are “heavy,” meaning they reduce the player’s attack speed when equipped to the mainhand.
-Lustra items have been buffed to have a durability of 3,000. (As a point of reference, netherite has 2,032)
-Copper weapons/tools have been reworked to deal ½ heart less damage but now have more durability.
-Bejeweled apples have been nerfed to grant 27 points of experience rather than 3 levels of experience when eaten.
-Metallic apples can now always be eaten even when the player has full hunger.
-An unruly compass can be crafted like a normal compass but just with copper ingots in place of iron.
-Lustra pearl texture has been added to resource pack (no item yet).
-10 weapon trim textures added to resource pack. (Yoann the GOAT!)
Recipe changes:
-Spears are now craftable with two sticks and a tip material. Similar to how a shovel is crafted, except the ingredients are arranged diagonally. All spears have the same durability as a wooden sword, regardless of what the tip is made out of. Spears have +2 increased range and the same amount of attack speed as an axe.
-Meteoric tools/weapons can now be crafted with netherite scrap.
-Copper tools/weapons can now be crafted with copper ingots.
-Crimdev made custom trim designs available via admin commands. (Wooo!)
-Attribute buffs granted by custom weapons like the katana, sabre, buckler, cutlass, warhammer, and bludgeon are now properly working. Buffs also now stack, incentivizing the player to dual-wield. (It’s a proven fact that holding two katanas makes you run faster!)
Dimension Changes:
-Slowness effect has been removed from Dormis and replaced with a movement speed reduction attribute and increased gravity attribute.
-Players entering Glacium now have a reduced armor toughness and reduced block breaking speed attribute. Really fun dealing with obsidian there :)
-Omnidrome jump boost effect replaced with massively increased safe damage fall attribute. Block interaction range has also been increased.
-Players entering panacea now have a reduced armor attribute.
-Block break attribute has been massively increased in Sanctum.
-Pax slowfall effect replaced with reduced gravity attribute and massively increased safe damage fall attribute.
-Pax weakness effect has been replaced with reduced attack damage modifier.
-Faewild sneak slowfall effect has been replaced with reduced gravity attribute and increased safe damage fall attribute.
-Faewild Jump boost effect replaced with increased jump strength attribute.
-Varskspace speed and jump boost effects are replaced with gravity, movement speed and jump strength attribute modifiers.
-Void now has a greatly reduced gravity attribute and increased jump strength attribute.
Species Changes:
Automechs are now 50% larger than the default player scale. Being three blocks tall, they can no longer fit under two-block high openings.
-Dwellers are now 25% smaller than the default player scale. Haste has been replaced with a buffed block break speed attribute.
-Enderlings are now 25% bigger. They can still fit under two-block high openings if they sneak. Enderlings also now have 15% increase attack range. (long arms)
-Faefolk passive xp earning nerfed.
-Frostkin size increased by 32%
-Humans no longer receive unlock in other dimensions. (It already didn’t do much)
-Hunters change sizes after eating certain foods. (Apples producing the largest results)
-No changes to Nereids.
-Netherkin are 10% smaller than the default player scale but have 20% more attack speed.
-Outlanders are now 35% smaller but have 25% bonus block interaction range. They can now turn invisible any time they sneak.
-No changes to Realmkeepers.
-Villains are now 10% larger.
Boss changes:
-Thrall boss now more dynamically chases the player instead of problematically staying in one spot.
-Thall is now equipped with a sai weapon in its main hand and deals massive damage.
-Removed crown blazes from top of thrall’s head. Instead, the thrall has a new attack where it spawns a single, giant blaze. The blaze has increased hp and damage. It also removes fire resistance from players from within a 20 block radius until slain.
-Upon death, the Thrall no longer spawns a giant, exploding fireball. Instead, it flings 8 falling TNT blocks away from itself.
-Instead of summoning a chest containing loot upon death. The Thrall just drops the loot.
-Varsk lighting spawner generates higher up and is encased in obsidian rather than bedrock.

-When it rains in Panacea, spiders ridden by gothrum warriors are now twice as large and have 2x the hp.
-Brine nautilus are now also 2x as big.
-The custom weapons all had issues with attack speed being crazy fast. That has been fixed.
-Enchanted golden apple and trident are no longer craftable.
-Sai nerfed to deal 10 hunger damage to the wielder when used.
-Katana and Sabre speed bonus nerfed.
-Fixed issue with insane number of zombie horses spawning in the Panacea Jungle.
-Temporarily removed custom music from pack but will add them back in with the latest sound playing updates released by Mojang.
-Grandmaster nerfed effects granted by love arrow.
-Cleaned up many unused features and carvers from the pack.
-Bygone viceroy holdout structure moved to destitute garrison biome.
-Fixed Bobbit worm not attacking player and made him even harder to detect.
-Fixed issue with bludgeon weapons not showing up in loot tables.
MAY UPDATE
Tried my best to get the 1.20.5 changes out in time but couldn't. Maybe I'll try to make an early update this month if I can. In other news, here are the latest 1.20.4 compatible changes.
Brine Changes
Brine terrain now more closely resembles aquatic mountains rather than the former, vertical pillar-like style previously used. This was to both improve the overall aesthetics of the dimension, as well as make traversing the realm more pleasant for players.
The Brine now has an ocean floor, although it may still be possible to infrequently find small gaps where one can escape into the Void.
Islands now generate with less frequency and with greater distance between them.
The Brine's global sea level has been reduced by 24 blocks.
Brine structures spawn rate nerfed to accommodate worldgen changes
Dunkleosteus loot added.
Biome Additions
Two new biomes have been added: The crimson organism is found in Panacea oftentimes close to the creeper dominion biome. The sky, water and land is tinted blood red-here and no mobs currently spawn there.
The grand machair biome is found within Pax. It features stepped paddy fields for growing water-loving plants.
Additional changes are expected for both biomes.
General Changes
Sai weapon concept nerfed to deal two hearts to the player when wielded.
Crim rectified issues within the proposed custom trim system. (Currently only obtainable with cheats.)
Bludgeon item loot now properly generates.
HOTFIX UPDATE
A critical issue with Brine player teleportation has persisted throughout the #103 update sending players hurtling into the void after entering the far proximity of specific mobs in the Brine dimension. Thanks to Grandmaster, this issue has been fixed. In addition, here are the latest update changes made to the pack.
Weapon Changes
-Early draft for a new, powerful weapon has been added to the game. The Sai deals a whopping 30 damage but hurts the holder every time it is used. Every hit deals one heart of damage to the player regardless of armor level. Future buffs/nerfs may be incoming. At this point, the weapon can only be obtained with cheats. Sulf provided the core code for the weapon's dynamics.
-Sai texture has been added to the resource pack.
Biome Changes
-Two new Patron voted biomes added to the Underdark.
The diorite sea biome features lush cave vegetation and copious amounts of diorite. Hypothetically, if we were to put an Underdark trading center somewhere, it would be here.
The sulfur caldera biome includes dripping yellow concrete and concrete powder features, blue flame patches, and naturally spawning blazes.
-Nerfed size of Underdark stalagmites and panacea swamp trees to reduce lag.
-Reworked panacea wildflower bog biome. Fixed issue where trees would spawn with a cut off bottom.
-Reworked panacea quicksand springs biome. Fixed issue where trees displaced local ground terrain.
APRIL UPDATE
4-8-24 Hotfix
-Fixed issue where players entering Brine would immediatly get teleported into the void.
Sanctum Changes
-Patron elected biome has been added to Sanctum. The toxic playa is a junkyard biome that includes abandoned anvils, trapdoors, buttons, cauldrons, lighting rods, hoppers, observers, daylight detectors, and other collectible blocks. This biome is a result of floating garbage patches that settled after Sanctum's oceans dried up.
-Giant anchor structure has been added to toxic playa biome.
-Features in the rubbleworks city biome have been reworked to look more city-like.
-Sanctum post structure now generates in the rubblework city biome.
-Sanctum marauders generate much more frequently in the rubblework city biome.
Glacium Changes
-Patron elected biome has been added to Glacium. During development, there were too many cool concepts to ignore, so I made two more.
The 3 new biomes added to Glacium are…
Destitute bastille: A city biome containing hostile mobs, lava pools, and blue fire pillars. Gathheim: An uninhabited biome completely covered in deep layers of powdered snow. Arctic knolls. A biome dotted with patches of thawing ice and plant life.
-Glacium platform structure added to destitute bastion biome. Useful for traveling large distances in Glacium, assuming you avoid any mobs that could knock you down.
General Dimension Improvements
-Pax biome distribution reworked to have smaller sized biomes.
-Brine biome distribution reworked to have smaller sized biomes.
-Added sunken ships structures to Glacium, Brine, and Panacea.
-Added ruined Nether portals to Glacium, Faewild, Underdark, and Sanctum.
-Removed mineshafts from the Brine. -Structures folder reorganized.
Book Buffs/Nerfs
-Adamantium will book has been reworked. Instead of applying wither it will deal 18 damage points to the user. This is to prevent spamming as the player will need to regen hearts before using again. The damage the book deals cannot be blocked by resistance effects. Resistance effect duration has been nerfed from 20 seconds to 15.
-Kill ability book has been reworked. Instead of applying effects it will summon a small death cloud that grants instant damage. This was done to nerf the strategy of using the book with a totem of undying to win every fight. Now, players holding a totem of undying will still die. The death cloud initially starts with a radius of one, but the cloud expands by one block every time a player gets killed by the cloud. If the kill book is used within a group of many, densely-packed players it can be absolutely devastating.
-Species beginner book now disappears after being used.
Texture Pack changes
-Missing Paxmaker sword texture restored.
-Paxmaker textures now display consistently across both vanilla and optifine use.
-Yoann added 14 new weapons textures and one new book texture. The dude’s a beast! New items expected soon.
Grandmaster’s Extensive Improvements

-Brine biome sound fixes
-Advancement name organization

-Brine mob generation tweaks
This April 1st, the Omnidrome has taken over every dimension in the bracken pack.
-All species are gone except for the Automech.
-Omni /trigger commands also work at full capacity in every dimension. Have fun in the chaos.
-Worldgen has been changed for every dimension.
MARCH UPDATE
Weapon Changes
Added 99 weapon/tools to the pack. They include 11 new weapons types, each of which has similar stats to a sword but with small attribute buffs.
-buckler: +armor/-attack damage
-cutlass: +armor
-dagger: +attack speed/-attack range (wip)
-greatsword: +attack range (wip)
-katana: +movement speed/ -jump strength (wip)
-mace: +knockback res
-rapier: +attack speed
-sabre: +movement speed
-short spear: +attack range (wip)
-sickle: +attack damage
-warhammer: +knockback res/-attack speed
Each of the weapons come in the 6 standard variants, wood, stone, gold, iron, diamond, and netherite. In addition, the weapons also come in two extra variants, copper and lustra.
Copper weapons have similar stats to gold but produce the damage output of iron.
Lustra weapons have similar stats to netherite but produce the damage output of gold.
The axes, hoes, pickaxes, swords, shovels also come in copper and lustra variants.
The 99th item added is a toothed sword. It has the stats of a wooden sword but with diamond-level damage.
Item changes
Added bejeweled, copper, iron, and carbon apples. All grant brief regeneration when eaten.
-Bejeweled apples grant three levels when consumed.
-Copper apples grant the health boost effect for 2 min.
-Iron apples grant +8 armor for 2 min.
-Carbon apples grant the greatest amount of saturation for any food item; however they also grant 2 min worth of the wither effect. Much like cookies, they taste better with milk.
-Added all of the species fruit items Yoann designed to the Pax double tree loot table. Pax trees now come with three decorated pots. There's no telling what fruit you'll get after breaking one! Each of these fruits, when eaten, will change your species. The book of arbitrium has been removed.
Added the unruly compass and broken compass. If you try to eat the unruly compass it will explode and transform into a broken compass. The player and all nearby players will be granted a mysterious effect that influences the weather. Broken compasses are useless at this time.
Added Varskstorm
Thanks to Crimdev, a new means of getting into varskspace has been added.
If it rains or storms while a player has the unruly compass effect, strange lightning bolts and particles will appear around the player. Arnold's Varskspace track will also play if enabled in the config options. If you get struck by these special bolts, you will be transported to the Varskspace dimension. Drinking milk or honey will remove the compass effect and end the varskstorm. In turn, so will dying or getting sent to Varskspace.
This took an incredible amount of talent and effort to pull off, so special congratulations are in order for Crim! You did awesome my man!
Dimensional Travel Changes
-The tinted glass cube that generates around the player after void traveling has been reverted back to obsidian. (void travel nerf) The cube, at least, now spawns with torches inside.
-Glacium towers no longer grant mining fatigue, but slowness instead.
-Players climbing up to the Nether from Sanctum now experience changes in gravity. Getting progressively more jump boost and slowfalling as they reach higher y-levels. Eventually, players at y=235 will get the levitation effect and ascend upwards until they reach the nether. Players that wish to descend, can simply hold "sneak" to sink down again.
Advancement Changes
Pax now has the following 9 advancements
-Realm of Peace
-Season of Respite
-Season of Harvest
-Season of Burgeoning
-Season of Renaissance
-Place of Former Dreaming
-I think. I am.
-A Change of Heart
-Separate Ways
Omnidrome now has the following 7 advancements
-Realm of the false Mods
-Welcome Guest
-Under Construction
-Keeping Inventory
-Rogue Navigator
-Cyborg Bug Barge

-Improvements made to the crystal caves ambience.
-Improvements made to the Brine's aquatic ambience.
-Improvements made to Sanctum ambience.
-Much needed improvements made to Void ambience.
All of the following was done by Crimdev. The dude is a madlad. Definitely getting a biome named after him.

UNDERWATER BRINE CITY A community voted mega structure has been added to the bracken pack. Welcome to Deluge city. Once heavily populated by Nereids, the city has since become a ghost town. This massive complex includes a central ziggurat-like garden surrounded by twisting roads and houses. Many dunkleosteus lurk in the area, but the abundant potion loot is worth it! Future additions/changes are still in the works (including a serious dunkelosteus nerf) so stay tuned for more!
GENERAL CHANGES
-Small wall structures have been added to Glacium's fractured wastes biome.
-Nerfed number of Fae Rangers spawning in clandestine castlegrounds biome.
-Nerfed health of Fae Rangers from 50 to 20 hearts.

HOTFIX UPDATE 1.20.4 changes have introduced a bug in both the Unsung and Sporangium bosses, preventing them from working. This update fixes that.
Additionally, this version includes developments on the newest fae emperor boss. Consider this a teaser for things to come. Keep in mind there's still a lot for me to do.
JANUARY UPDATE
OMNIDROME CHANGES:
-Locked POWER type omni commands. Players unlock each ability when they use that specific ability book for the first time.

-Locked BUILD/CLEAR type commands. Players unlock each by visiting differnt Omnidrome biomes.
FAEWILD CHANGES:
-Ranger miniboss now spawns rarely in the Faewild. The mob has the base properties of a skeleton, but comes equipped with armor, increased health, greatly increased follow range, and a bow enchanted with punch x10. Also uses poison arrows and is commonly found riding a spider.
-The faewild castle has been reworked. A huge congratulations is in order for Dr. C for decorating the interior of the castle and making the castle feel lived in. From adding a massive library with spiraling staircases, to decorating the throne room with an intense parkour challenge, your interior decorating skills show no bounds. I know this was an incredibly involved and time-consuming task, but you did it with flying colors. Thank you so much! Three cheers for Dr. C!
-Added 6 different kinds of loot chests to the fae castle. Prison, castle, garden, troop, kitchen, storage, and library. Library loot contains a large collection of enchantment books.
-Fae Rangers now frequently spawn in the clandestine castlegrounds biome. Several persistent fae rangers have been added to the castle.
-Added fae traders (and a few normal villagers) to occupy the castle. Most fae traders there have an extra trade option that will let the player earn more xp bottles.
-Added four armor stands to the castle structure which grant a massive damage boost to all entities within 200 block radius. Fae rangers can typically kill a player in full diamond armor with two hits when this buff is active. Players can choose whether or not to destroy the stands or play the game with them active.
-Added four lever rooms stacked above the throne room. The purpose of these rooms is to help the player locate the strength-granting armor stands. In each of the rooms is one special lever that will cause an armor stand to glow. Four rooms, for four stands. The levers will also produce a note block sound when activated.
SPECIES CHANGES
-Dwellers are not granted the blindness effect when in sunlight if they are wearing pumpkin or helmet.

DECEMBER UPDATE
Discord Voted Mega-Structure Changes
Rough draft of the aquatic city has been saved in structure files. However, expect to see large changes in further iterations. (Not a fan of how it looks so far but I'm on to something I wanna try)
Varskspace Changes
-Added another Varskspace spire variant, one containing a custom music disc with Arnold Rynux's Varskspace track.
-Removed lighting trap from Varskspace spire variants.
-Fixed misnamed Travel call ability book in spire loot.
Sanctum Changes
Added three new ruined building structures to sanctum
- a broken pipe turned makeshift shelter

-Added Omnidrome entrance portal to Sanctum embassy. (Currently non-functional). Textures and portal animation done by our talented artist Yoann
Omnidrome Changes
-Added ALL ability books to the Omnidrome library's loot table.
-Added more enchantment books to the library's loot table but reduced the number of occurrences which loot will generate.
-When in the Omnidrome, experience orbs near the player will rapidly decay.
-Added in Realnemisc's Omni command system (THANK YOU BTW) and equipped it with 48 functional trigger commands usable by players without cheats enabled so long as they remain inside the Omnidrome dimension.
- 11 Build commands: Either utilizes the fill command or places a feature at the wielder's location
- 2 Clear commands: Clears away blocks.
- 12 Summon commands: Either summons attacks or mobs. Theoretical mobs have reduced health points
- 4 Enable/disable commands: Toggle doff or on sneak flight and sprint speed abilities. Players using sprint speed now leave a barrier particle trail behind them
- 19 Power commands: Activate ability book powers without the need for a book. Still requires the same amount of experience points to use. Automechs have access to all powers but all other species can only access two.
The Omni-command system is still being developed and will undergo nerfs in the near future as each command gets "locked" behind a specific achievement. In the meantime, enjoy them in their un-nerfed state.
FINAL NOTES
No required resource pack updates required, still using version 42.
Expect to see a hotfix coming soon, as we try and get things updated to 1.20.4
