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.

-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

-Improvements made to the Brine's aquatic ambience.

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!

-Nerfed number of Fae Rangers spawning in clandestine castlegrounds biome.

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

-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.

-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.

ANOTHER HOTFIX: TEAMWORK EDITION
-Users had noticed a large drop off in performance within versions #88 and #89 of the bracken pack. The misplaced operation of functions (my fault) has been identified and corrected all thanks to Grandmaster. He also fixed an issue with the Tetra slime boss not working properly. Optimization changes were also added. Nice one dude!
-A recent change to Minecraft advancements had rendered custom music discs in the pack unusable. Sulfenir discovered the root of the problem and fixed it, along with making corrections to several other logs, like loot tables, bossfights, biomes, and advancements. He also added in the latest custom music piece. Speaking of which...
-Arnold Rynux has composed a new music track for Varskspace!!! The track is amazing and you can check it out by obtaining the disc though the /loot command. Next update will include non-command ways to obtain the music, most likely via biome music or varskspace spire loot. Way to go Arnold!!!

Greed potions grant the luck effect and make the player accumulate xp faster, astral projection potions temporarily grant the player spectator mode. Textures by Yoann.

-Added Sentinel mob. Flies around with very little hp and does minimal damage but has a tremendous amount of knockback. Initial design courtesy of the amazing Freddy. Drops sentinel rings when slain.
-Added draft for Brine station structure. Holds valuable loot like the essence of eternity. Similar to the Glacium watchtower, the structure contains an armor stand at its heart that debuffs the player. Players within a large radius of this structure will receive weakness x100. Players who climb their way up either of the water spouts will enter one of two lava-encased rooms. The levers in one room can part lava and open an entrance for the other. (Easier to figure out with two players in either room). In the center of a structure is a red sand pillar that crumbles if the surrounding levers are all flipped. When the pillar falls, the debuff armor stand will descend for the player to hit. Players standing close to the armor stand will not receive the weakness debuff and can smash the armor stand. The loot room above will also become accessible, as well as the elder guardian within.
SANCTUM CHANGES

Fungiflower structures contain cordyceps powder which is used to craft a potion of greed. This potion currently has no effect.
More drops and potions on the way! I want to thank you GM for the crazy amount of effort you've put into spearheading this custom potion system as well as Yoann for the artistic ability to bring these textures to life!
BUG FIXES
-Fixed yet another gap in the Sanctum vault structure. (Thanks Archeroth.) -Corrected issue with ventithrub loot not dropping.
PATRON DEMIMOD ADDITIONS
-Added Omnidrome Observatory. Includes amethyst farm, telescope item, and ender chest. Shout out to MikeX for not only coming up with the idea but also drafting the entire FREAKIN' build. (Which really did speed up the process of putting it in the game btw.)
Added Nightfall elytra. A wearable item that adds 2 attack damage but reduces hp by 1 heart. Wearer is granted jump_boost x25 when sneaking with this item equipped. Particles and noises play when the wearer sneaks and launches themselves in the air. Flying past other players and mobs grants them a brief amount of levitation. This item is currently unobtainable without cheats and may go through further tweaks. Use the command "/loot give @p loot bracken:item/nightfall" to obtain the item. Brought to you from the mind of Natebat9. And yes, I did listen to The Batman soundtrack while developing the item.

Now back to the program...
PANACEA CHANGES
-Panacea rain event has been added. Basically, every time it rains or storms in Panacea, mob spawning greatly increases. Also, some of the hostile mobs transform into more powerful forms.
-Hostile mobs now spawn at light levels between 12 and 6.
-Added gothrum. Hostile Hunters with bat-like features who will attack the player on sight. Typically they are unarmed but during the rain event they will ride spiders and wield a fang sword.
-Added gothrum fang weapon. Deals as much damage as an iron sword but occasionally grants the user saturation when used.
-Added perrterror. Normal creepers will transform into this modified creeper during a rain event. The Perrterror is powered and makes a large blast but will also create a cocoon of oak leaves after exploding.
-Added perrterror gastor. When clicked, this item will create a cocoon of oak leaves around the player. Drops from the perrterror.
-Added creeper horn. When blown, all creepers within a large radius will be teleported to the user's location. Great for trolling. Drops from the perrterror.
-Added yakitubba. It's an aggressive yellow slug. During the rain event it grows to a massive size. (Totally not a retextured ravager btw).Proceed with caution when fighting it in its giant form.
-Added yakitubba hide. When consumed, the food item grants the player berserker-like strength and speed, but at the cost of blindness.
-Added ventithrub. The result of a symbiotic relationship between a humanoid and a toothy flower attached to its head. During the rain event, ventithrub becomes "hydrated" increasing in size and deadliness.
-Added lembas bread fruit. Fills up a player's food bar more than a golden carrot. Drops from the ventithrub.
BRINE CHANGES
-Added dunkleosteus mob to the indigo median biome. Swims rapidly through the water and deals massive damage. Be warned of this big fish.
-Added trilobite loot table. Trilobites now drop flint.
-Laid the groundwork for upcoming potion crafting system. Stay tuned!

Is that all? Hopefully I didn't miss anything. Special thanks goes out to everyone who helped work on this update. Sulf did an amazing job on implementing the panacea event. Yoann rocked it as always with the latest panacea items. Grandmaster was downright superhuman with his coding. Arnold paved the way for translation. TytoninaeArt did a fantastic job on the dunkleosteus model and texture. Tux did awesome coming up with the new mob names. I also want to thank everyone who contributed to the overall creativity of the team with your ideas and concept art. You guys already know this, but I'll say it again. You rock!
