🩸 BITE – Update v0.4.1-pre: “Warmer Starts”

Minecraft: 1.21.10 • Loader: Fabric

✅ Fixes

Fixed: Leaf transparency rendering issues.

🔧 Balance Changes

Early-game tuning: Increased starting Hearts / Food / Water (and related gauges) from 1 → 3 to ease the opening minutes based on community feedback.

✨ Enchantments & Temperature

Fire Protection synergy: Implemented a heat-gain multiplier reduction that scales with Fire Protection level per armor piece. Higher enchant levels = stronger resistance to heat buildup.

New Enchantment: Cold Protection Works like Fire Protection, but against cold—reduces cold buildup/damage, scaling with enchant level per armor piece.

🩸 BITE – Update v0.4-pre: “Seasons of Suffering”

Minecraft: 1.21.10 • Loader: Fabric

🐴 Undead Mounts — Size Rules

Zombie Horses and Skeleton Horses now spawn only as Baby or Normal.

Removed random oversized variants for cleaner balance and visuals.

🍂 NEW: Seasonal World System

The world now shifts through harsh, survival-focused seasons that affect weather, terrain, plants, and visuals.

Freezing Biomes: When a biome gets cold enough, it freezes:

Water turns to ice.

Rain becomes snow.

Plants can freeze and die, but may sprout again in spring.

Heat & Drought: In very hot conditions, plants can wither and die.

Biome Colors: Foliage/grass/water tint changes with the season, giving each region a distinct seasonal look.

Year Length: An in-game year lasts 91 days (balanced for progression and performance).

Command: /season — view or set the current season (admin/OP only; supports direct selection and cycling).

🩸 BITE – Update v0.3.1-pre

Minecraft: 1.21.10 • Loader: Fabric

✅ Changes & Fixes

Saturation ↔ Nutrition Coupling

Early game is less punishing: base saturation now scales with your nutrition (protein/carbs/fat/water). This gives new spawns a short grace window so you don’t instantly dehydrate, while still rewarding good diet later.

Safer Spawns (Temperature-Aware)

The game tries to restrict player spawn to neutral-temperature biomes to reduce immediate deaths from heat or cold.

(Fallback logic applies if a neutral spawn is not available, then you spawn by default location)

Plant Ecology Overhaul (Temperature-Aware Decay/Growth)

Plants now react to ambient temperature:

• Too cold → plants can die; growth is very slow.
• Cool to mild → slow growth.
• Warm → faster growth.
• Too hot → plants can die.

This applies to crops and wild flora, making farming a true survival challenge.

🩸 BITE – Update v0.3-pre: “The World Fights Back”

Minecraft: 1.21.10 • Loader: Fabric

🌡️ NEW: Dynamic Temperature System

The environment now truly fights against you. Temperature is no longer just a detail — it’s survival.

• Each biome now has its own temperature range that affects your body.
• Depending on where you are, your temperature will rise or fall dynamically.
• If your body temperature goes too high or too low, you’ll start to take damage.
• In heat, you lose water faster.
• In cold, you lose food faster.

Two new damage sources have been added:

• 🧊 Cold Damage
• 🔥 Heat Damage

Your surroundings now decide whether you live — or melt, or freeze.

💦 NEW: Wet Effect

Introducing the “Wet” status effect — because staying dry matters.

• You become Wet when it rains or when you enter water.
• While Wet, your body cools down faster, making cold environments even more dangerous.
• The effect cannot be removed with milk — you’ll have to dry off naturally.

Survival isn’t just about eating and drinking anymore — it’s about staying warm and dry.

🛠️ Fixes & Improvements

• 🧰 Fixed: A critical respawn crash bug that could occur when rejoining the world after death.
• 🧩 General optimizations for player state updates and environmental calculations.

🌍 Summary

The world of BITE has grown even more hostile — the air you breathe, the rain that falls, and the heat of the sun now all work against you. Every biome is a new challenge, every drop of water and degree of heat a threat.

Because it’s too easy… until the weather kills you. 🩸

🩸 BITE – Update v0.2.1-pre: “Stay Hydrated”

Minecraft: 1.21.10 • Loader: Fabric

💧 What’s New

This update focuses on polishing survival mechanics and expanding the thirst system. Hydration is now more dangerous to ignore than ever.

🥤 Added: Thirsty Effect

Introduced a brand-new “Thirsty” status effect

Causes dehydration cues

Reminds you: water isn’t optional anymore — it’s survival

🛠️ Fixes & Improvements

🐞 Fixed a visual bug where the hunger effect caused incorrect status icon behavior

Minor internal optimizations to improve HUD updates for nutrition and thirst values

🌍 Summary

The world of BITE keeps evolving — thirst now has teeth. Ignore your body, and it’ll remind you who’s really in control.

Because it’s too easy… until you get thirsty. 🩸

🧃 BITE – Update v0.2-pre: “Survival of the Fittest”

Minecraft: 1.21.10 • Loader: Fabric

🩸 What’s New

This update introduces a brand-new Nutrition System — survival just got even more real. Players must now manage their fat, carbs, protein, and water levels to stay alive.

🍖 Nutrition System Overhaul

You now have to maintain four key nutrition stats:

• 🥩 Protein

• 🍞 Carbs

• 🧈 Fat

• 💧 Water

Each plays a vital role in your survival — and neglecting them comes at a cost.

⚠️ Consequences of Malnutrition

• Low Protein → Mining Fatigue (your muscles weaken)

• Low Fat → Nausea (your body can’t handle the stress)

• Low Carbs → Slowness (no energy to move)

• Low Water → Dehydration (shown directly in the GUI – yes, you can die of thirst now)

The Water Meter is fully integrated into the HUD, giving you real-time feedback on your hydration level.

⚙️ Level-Based Scaling

Your nutrition requirements now scale dynamically with your player level. Higher level = higher demand. Surviving isn’t just about food — it’s about balance.

Added air bubble scaling: The Higher level you become, the longer you can hold your breath — or the faster you’ll lose it if you’re weak.

🌍 Why This Matters

BITE is all about making survival meaningful again. This update ties your body and progress directly to your stats — making every bite and breath count.

Because it’s too easy… until you get thirsty. 🩸
