Tools

New Tools: Celestial Tools

The Celestial Update brings 4 new tools to the game. They can be optained by upgrading your chromatic tools. All tools have new particles and a unique animation when using them. They also give you again better stats and the effects Strengt II, Haste II, Invisibility II or Speed II when held in your main hand. But like everything in this mod, they are still well balanced and Vanilla+ friendly.

Chromatic Tools

There are 2 nerfs for Chromatic Tools:

• Chromatic Sword (Damage: 9 -> 8.5)
• The special effect was reduced by 1 (Level 2 -> Level 1) for the Sword, Pickaxe, Axe and Shovel because celestial tools does now have the Level 2 effect

Future plans

With this update, a foundation has now been laid for future updates. My current plan is adding the missing tools, armor, special shiny star items, advancements and way more! Stay tuned for these wonderful features. All this stuff will release with many minor updates. The next major update will maybe take a litte longer this time, but we will see.

I really hope you like the new update :) Have a great day :D:D:D
