Biomes O' Classic 3.0.0 — The Skysea Update

The Promised Land needs a new world. Its world height changed (bottom went from y-64 to y-192, total height 384 to 512), so existing Promised Land dimensions will not line up with newly generated chunks.

Overworld saves are unaffected.

New biomes

Skysea a deep sea in the Promised Land, with a sunken sea floor, reefs and flooded caverns beneath it. Skybeach the shore that rings the Skysea.

New mob

Shrimp a small, harmless swimmer of the Skysea. Drops raw shrimp. Spawned with shrimp roe.

New structures

Abyss Ruin a ruin under the sea, marked from the beach above. Sunken Skysea ruins scattered remains of a drowned civilisation on the sea floor. Urns in both sets hold loot.

The Shadow Urn

Making one

Craft an Urn from abyssal aqua stone and a slab. Ring it with eight abyssal goop to get a Shadow Urn.

**Attuning it ** Right-click with a gem to set its channel. Sneak-click to take the gem back. Eight channels, one per gem: amethyst, malachite, peridot, ruby, sapphire, tanzanite, topaz and azurite. Without a gem it is just an urn, holding its own contents.

What a channel is

Every shadow urn on the same gem shares one inventory, worldwide and across dimensions. Each channel holds nine item slots, a fluid tank and an energy buffer. Channels are shared by everyone on the server, not private like an ender chest. That is the point: the urn at the far end does not have to belong to you. Hoppers, pipes and cables can all push and pull, so a channel is a wireless link between two machines that never have to be in the same chunk.

It knows when you are there

Walk within five blocks and a shadow urn wakes: it rocks on its base, breathes out a little shadow, and lifts its gem into the air so you can read its channel from across the room. Step away and the gem settles back inside.

New items

Pearl Staff the sea's counterpart to the Shadow Staff. Three attacks, and it lets you breathe and move freely underwater while held. Aquatic Charm negates the Skysea's depth drain.
