The Bracken Pack

1.21.5 UPDATE

Whew! This update was a painful one to get through. A recent change made to minecraft shaders has made the custom suns inoperable for the time being. Hopefully, after some of the more recent snapshots, shader changes will settle down and I can figure things out.

Aside from 1.21.5 compatibility, enjoy the following new features!

MOB RESKIN CHANGES

-Chickens in the Faewild are reskinned as turkeys.

-Chickens in the Brine are reskinned as ducks.

-Chickens in the Underdark are reskinned as dodo birds.

-Chickens in Glacium are reskinned as puffins.

-Chickens in Panacea are reskinned as “Sapidus Rex.”

-Frogs in Panacea can have one of three poison dart frog skins.

-Frogs in the Underdark are reskinned as toads.

-Pigs and Cows in the Faewild castle are reskinned as two mimic variants.

-Pigs in the Underdark are reskinned as half-hoglins.

-Cats in Panacea can have one of three big cat skins.

-Cats in the End are reskinned as ender-panthers.

-Cats in the Underdark are reskinned as saber-toothed cats.

DIMENSION CHANGES

-Conduit travel between the overworld and Brine has been re-enabled and improved. Being within three blocks of a conduit while staring at its top surface will transport you within a few seconds. Special thank you to Star Seed and SirFluffyPuffs for making the request!

-Updated Brine structures containing conduits, like the deluge city and brine_fan to reflect recent Brine tp changes.

-All stacked dimensions now have y-level antigravity dynamics like Sanctum. If you reach a high enough y-level, you jump higher and higher until you levitate upwards. You can also hold “sneak” to float back down.

-Players will now need to break bedrock to be able to travel to the Underdark.

-Bedrock breaking pickaxe enchantments have been added to ancient city loot and faewild village/castle loot. Players no longer have to purely rely on glitches to break bedrock or skulk-spreading to corrupt bedrock into skulk blocks. Although, I’m not stopping you if you do.

-Players can now visit the Underdark roof. Although the roof is primarily bedrock, it’s much easier to get past than the nether roof. Rifts and holes in the roof commonly have giant mushrooms growing out of them, making them easier to spot.

-More netherrack added to the lower layers of the underdark.

-Granite block layers added to the titan dripstone Underdark biome.

-Players will now need to break bedrock to be able to travel from the Nether down to Sanctum.

-Players can now visit the Nether roof without a wither skull.

-Dweller drill structures have been made more common in the Nether. By punching holes in the Nether roof, they make it possible for players to get below the bedrock even with zero items.

-In the Sanctum dimension, players can now build up to 32 blocks below terrain generation in the void beneath the world. Building void bases has never been easier!

-Sanctum mini hanger now has the bottom floor removed, exposing it to the void and making it easier for players to find.

-Sanctum now has slightly taller terrain.

-Towering beanstalk structures now generate in overworld plains, forest, and meadows biomes. They provide a convenient way for players to reach the Faewild without building a tower.

-Small and large cloud structures have been added to the Faewild.

-Players can get to Pax from the Faewild by entering Faewild clouds.

-Pax water ocean has been replaced by an ocean of powdered snow.

-Slight modifications to Faewild features to accommodate giant clouds.

-Removed negative ambient lighting from most dimensions. This was done to stop weird 1.12 water texture overlays from impeding underwater vision. As a consequence, dimensions like the Faewild, Panacea, and Sanctum, now no longer have a colored tint.

-Panacea now has a day/night cycle

-Block breaking speed reduction removed from Glacium

-Block breaking speed reduction added to Brine when outside of water.

-Underwater block breaking speed has been increased to the point that it’s much easier to break blocks in water than on land.

ENTITY CHANGES

-Fae emperor boss now places an exploding warped mushroom instead of ender crystals while fighting the player.

-Unsung boss now places ender crystals instead of instantaneously detonating primed tnt.

-Giant Jotun bats now spawn in the Underdark. They can pick the player up, deal damage to the player while holding them, and even drop the player.

-Changed appearance of Lost Miner to look more like a Dweller.

ITEM CHANGES

-Copper pickaxes, hoes, and axes break blocks faster. Another special thank you goes out to Star Seed and SirFluffyPuffs for making the request!

-Silversteel now grants enderpearl damage resistance.

-Silversteel now has a built-in smite enchantment.

-Holding a wither rose in either hand prevents the player from getting the wither effect.

-Players can craft a wither wand with a stick and wither rose. Prevents the wither effect when held but also withers any mobs you hit with it.

-Players can craft a tulip wand with a stick and one of every kind of tulip. Prevents the weakness effect when held but also weakness any mobs you hit with it.

-Holding a torchflower in either hand prevents the player from getting the glowing effect.

-Players can craft a torchflower wand with a stick and torchflower. Prevents the glowing effect when held but also glows any mobs you hit with it.

-Holding an open eye blossom in either hand prevents the player from getting the blindness effect.

-Players can craft an eye blossom wand with a stick and open eye blossom. Prevents the blindness effect when held but also blinds any mobs you hit with it.

-Buffed breadfruit to the point where it can restore a player wearing a full set of vitality armor to full hp.

MISC BUG FIXES/ TWEAKS

-Fixed wonky generation with fae ring structure.

-Fixed issue with wanderlight music spamming in certain biomes.

-Removed lanterns from faewild clandestine castlegrounds biome.

-Removed spiders from castlegrounds biome.

-Verdant items can now be crafted with just one panaspore instead of requiring multiple panaspores.
