The standard Valiance datapack experience, in a mod.
This is not a mod port of Valiance, it is the original datapack version packed in a Fabric mod jar for more convenient installation, such as for modpacks.
~ Additions ~
- Added the Verdant, a new creepy Zombie variant with a weakening melee attack!
- Added Howlagers, the vicious result of Villagers afflicted by a dreadful curse...
- Added Pumpkin Stew, a cheap and reliable buff food
- Added the Lightweight Enchantment for Maces, increasing attack speed to make them more viable for everyday combat
- This Enchantment is incompatible with most damage Enchantments
- Added sound effects for attacking with Axes, Maces, and Tridents
- New secrets...
- ...Including new splashes!
- New Portugeuse and French translations by Kit and Phiphi
~ Reworks ~
- Revamped Brutes, scrapping the idea of them being a sub-variant for each zombie, and instead giving them their own color scheme and outfit
- It is understood that the previous designs were iconic, however the change was made to fit the more modern art direction that Valiance has taken, and it was bound to happen eventually
- Completely reworked the Brute Knight, now called the Gallant. They have a new ability and a more unique design!
- Revamped the Katana, now known as the Molten Katana! Heat is now an energy stored inside the weapon itself instead of the player, and it is now used to expel powerful fiery slashes by right clicking!
- Totems of Irregularity now show their color name in their tooltip, and 4 new colors have been added exclusive to Vigilante trades!
~ Changes ~
- Repugnant Sickles are now extremely enchantable, moreso than even gold tools!
- Brutes no longer have a chance of inflicting Weakness on attack, since that niche has been moved to Verdant
- Brutes now burn in sunlight like most other zombie variants
- Piglins can now spawn with multiple weapon types, and can spawn with cursed golden armor while under the effects of a Challenger Idol
- Baby Piglins no longer count towards Bounties
- Drowned will no longer spawn with cursed armor
- Zombie Horses will no longer dismount passengers when submerged in water
- Updated various textures
- These include Rubies, the Vigilante, and Molten Katanas
- ...And more!
- Lances have been renamed to Copper Lances
- Gale Arrows are now compatible with Multishot - have fun completely breaking this!
- The Vigilante will no longer show up on a full Moon
- "Fired Up" advancement has been renamed to "1,000 Degree Knife"
- "Give Me a Challenge!" advancement has been renamed to "Pandora's Box"
~ Fixes ~
- Jeepers no longer move their legs while in ceilings, and their mob head items are now oriented properly in all contexts
- Shiny Bedazzle are no longer impossibly rare
- Lances will often not oxidize while under the effects of Curse of Deterioration
- Tanning Racks will not break when a block is placed in the same spot as them
- Crafted Archer armor can be crafted with dye, which does nothing
- Archer armor given with /loot can be upgraded to Ranger armor, which is still unobtainable
~ Removals ~
- Removed all hammers - they worked better on paper than they did in practice, and the Breach Enchantment fills the niche in vanilla now
- Remove the Butcher enchantment - it just was not useful
- Removed Power, Breach, and Quick Charge stat changes, as well as Power being applicable to Crossbows - none of these changes were necessary
- Removed Ceramic Shields - they had a purpose and their purpose was removed in 1.5.
- Since some people had a lot of fun with Ceramic Shields, they will be available in their own separate datapack.
- Removed Heroic Brine
- New Bow Variants -
Craft a Shortbow or Longbow to hone your archery experience to your needs! Be you a close ranged rogue or a tactical distant sniper, you can now improve your damage output for the niche of your choosing!
- Gale Arrows -
Bring a new quirky arrow type to battle, crafted with Wind Charges! These arrows will launch your targets with the force of 2 Wind Charges at once, giving you an interesting but expensive advantage!
- Archer Armor -
Trade the usual high protection of traditional armor for the lightweight and versatile Archer armor, providing unique ranged weapon abilities like no other armor!
- Enchanted Horse Flute Improvements -
The rare and elusive Enchanted Horse Flute can now be used on Skeleton Horses, Donkeys, Mules, and the now actually tameable Zombie Horses!
- Jeeper Glow-up -
The Jeeper model has been revamped, making them slimmer and a bit creepier, as well as making their antlers look less clunky and much more like they could be used for their... intended purpose...
- New Music Discs -
Discover two new music discs, Jeeperwave and... well, I am not sure what the second one is called. Two new creepy tracks to add to your collection!
- Refinements -
A ton of balancing changes and bug fixes have been made this update, and honestly it is more than any before it. I cannot list all of them but I assure you the quality upgrade is absolutely noticeable.
- Behind the Scenes -
Valiance has received some major technical overhauls and refinements this update! Items in worlds with Valiance from before this update may be broken, and will have to be disposed of if they are not working properly.
- New Wiki -
The Valiance wiki is now being held on Github, rather than Google Sites. It is also now substantially more in-depth and organized.
- New Secrets -
Every update has to have them! Although for some, looking for them may not be the way to go...
Entities now work. Merging Thallium and Valiance did not work, evidently. Download both the Valiance and Thallium datapacks below and insert them into your world. Thank you.
- Released on Modrinth - The primary platform for Valiance will from now on be Modrinth, with all updates being posted here from now on exclusively.
- New Structure: Big Dungeons Are Vanilla dungeons not enough for you? I certainly can agree with that sentiment. Discover the new Big Dungeons, just about as common as the usual ones. These contain a reusable Trial Spawner, and a Vault with varying loot indicated by the banner above it. No longer will you be disappointed when you find a dungeon and realize your friend already looted it!
- New Wolf Variants Discover the new Brawler Wolf in the Dark Forest biome, and the Blond Wolf in the Cherry Grove biome! Two new precious pups to battle alongside you and join in the spoils of war!
- Tweaking and Balancing Lots of adjustments, balancing changes, and bugfixes have been made this update. For example, the Vigilante's trades have been completely reworked, and Vigilant and Butcher are no longer treasure Enchantments.
- A New Challenger Awaits... An old evil roams the Overworld when a Challenger Idol is activated... Beware, and good luck...?
