Chrono Dawn

Added

New Blocks

• Temporal Stone and Temporal Cobblestone block sets with stairs, slabs, and walls
• Temporal Dirt and Temporal Grass Block as custom terrain in ChronoDawn dimension
• Temporal ore blocks (coal, gold, iron, redstone) replacing vanilla ores in ChronoDawn dimension
• Entropy Crystal Ore — new Tier 2 ore found at Y=40-100 in ChronoDawn dimension
• Temporal Amber Ore — new Tier 2 ore found at Y=-30 to +20 in ChronoDawn dimension
• Temporal Sand, Temporal Gravel, and Temporal Sandstone (plus sandstone stairs/slabs/walls) — pale-blue terrain blocks that replace vanilla sand/red_sand/gravel/sandstone/red_sandstone wherever they generate in the Chrono Dawn dimension
• Registered under #minecraft:sand, #minecraft:gravel, and #minecraft:sandstone_blocks so tag-based vanilla recipes accept the Temporal variants
• Crafting recipes: 4 Temporal Sand → Temporal Sandstone; Temporal Sandstone → stairs/slabs/walls (crafting + stonecutting); Temporal Sand → Glass (furnace smelting); Temporal Sand + Gunpowder → TNT; Temporal Sand + Temporal Gravel + Dye → Concrete Powder (all 16 colors)
• Recipe advancements unlock the above recipes in the recipe book when the player picks up the relevant ingredient (Temporal Sand / Temporal Gravel / Temporal Sandstone)

New Items & Equipment

• Entropy Crystal — material dropped from Entropy Crystal Ore
• Entropy Crystal Sword — applies Entropy Effect (damage over time) on hit
• Raw Temporal Amber — material dropped from Temporal Amber Ore
• Temporal Amber Dust — crafting material refined from Raw Temporal Amber
• Temporal Amber Armor (full set) — with auto-repair feature that consumes Temporal Amber Dust when out of combat
• ChronoDawn Custom Shields: three tiered shields (Clockstone, Enhanced Clockstone, Entropy Crystal) with cumulative time-manipulation effects — passive time-debuff shortening, faster raise on 1.21.5+, Speed on successful block (T2+), and Time Echo auto-block (T3). Crafted via a tier upgrade chain with Time Wood plank variants and dimension materials. Independent from the existing Chrono Aegis artifact.

Gameplay Features

• Entropy Effect — new mob effect dealing damage over time, applied by Entropy Crystal Sword

Development & Build

• Shared Gradle scripts via minecraft-mod-gradle-scripts submodule

Changed

• Rebased Time Crystal and Clockstone ore textures onto Temporal Stone base
• Chrono Dawn dimension surface rules now produce Temporal sand/gravel/sandstone; the sand_disk / gravel_disk configured features place Temporal variants instead of the vanilla blocks

Fixed

• All armors invisible when worn on 1.21.4+ (missing equipment asset path)
• Boss entities could despawn unexpectedly (added persistence overrides)
• Underground dungeon overlap (added exclusion zones between structures)
• Frozen time progression in ChronoDawn dimension
• Missing Ticking Sheep registrations in NeoForge 1.21.4 and other version modules
• Missing Client Items JSON for Ticking Sheep spawn egg
• Removed non-functional Spatially Linked Pickaxe ultimate recipe
