Ethereal Blasters - Changelog - INDEV 0.6.4
The "Ethereal Textures" Update!
Ethereal Blasters is now version 0.6.4! This small update returns some old textures that were lost in the previous versions of the mod by adding new gradients to the Blaster Models.
Changes to Ethereal Blasters: New Blaster Model Textures!
- All of the Tier 1 and all of the Tier 2 Blasters have recieved texture updates for thier 3D models. This is to help give the blasters more depth and a more asthetic appeal! While all of the Tier 1 Blasters maintain their Etherium Ingot Blue color, all Tier 2 Blasters have been changed to fit their new color; Arcanium Ingot Pink. This however is subject to change based on how the community either likes the new textures or not!
Ethereal Blasters - Changelog - INDEV 0.6.1
The "Ethereal Rebirth and Reworks Update!"
Ethereal Blasters is now version 0.6.1! This update brings significant changes to many of the mod's aspects which will all be detailed below!
Important Side Note: I apologize for a delay in relases for the 0.6.X Series of this mod, I have been struggling with inspiration on new ideas for the mod recently, and further more, my PC suffered a memory issue with its drive resulting in a complete system reset. This unfortunately means that the latest version of Ethereal Blasters that I had been developing was lost in the reset pushing me back a few versions. However, I've been working end to end to make sure that the content within the latest update was and is up to the best ability to what it was before. Some textures may not exactly look the same and there may be significant changes you'll notice to the mechanics of this mod. Please be patient as I try to recreate features that were lost in the previous version.
Major Changes to Ethereal Blasters!
**Modloader and Minecraft Version! ** Ethereal Blasters has now been updated to Minecraft 1.21.1, and furthermore this mod now uses the NeoForge modloader instead. This was to keep up with current player trends and mod versions that are popular. There may eventually be a Fabric version planned but it is not currently in the soon future. Block Changes! Ethereal Forge: The Ethereal Forge GUI has received a major texture change giving it more of an artistic (while still staying simplistic) appearance! Molten Arcanium (Arcanium Fluid Block): Molten Arcanium now has a more defined gradient similar to Lava when placed (or created) within the world allowing for more visible detail! Molten Legenderium (Legenderium Fluid Block): Molten Legenderium now has a more defined gradient similar to Lava when placed (or created) within the world allowing for more visible detail! Item Changes! Ethereal Scrap: Ethereal Scrap now has a better defined texture similar to Netherite Scrap to give it more of an appearance to metallic material!
Other recreated items (due to the loss) such as the Arcanium Ingot, Legenderium Ingot, Legendstone, Fusion Tablets, etc. may have slightly altered texture appearances due to my best ability of trying to recreate them. Tier 2 Blasters: Tier 2 Blasters have been brought back to their Etherium Ingot Blue color for now until I find out a better color that suits them than Arcanium's pink color. Arcanium may have a color change within the future as well (blaster sounds from 0.6.0 will be readded in the next 0.6.X Series update). Removed the 12 Other Music discs added in "Music Celebrations" to save on file space, if you still want these music discs I will be adding them in a separate mod planned in the future known as "Ethereal Additions." Recipe Changes! Crying Obsidian, Cryoshards, and Cryodust: Crying Obsidian no longer is smeltable in the furnace to give a cryoshard. Instead, Crying Obsidian is now used in a stonecutter to reward the player with 4 Cryoshards! With that, 1 Cryoshard can be placed within a stonecutter to get 4 cryodust! This is to make the resource more easily available to the player!
Legendstone: While Legendstone's recipe did not change, the amount rewarded to the player was changed from 1 to 4! this is to make the resource more accessible to the player so Arcanium Fluid Blocks can be more easily made! Ethereal Stone Recipe Changes: Ethereal Stones which include Verdant, Ametrine, Brilliant, Soulferno, Voidic, and Echo have been changed to benefit the player as the recipes have been made easier! This is due to some of the crafting items for the Ethereal Stones were more challenging than expected. Be sure to either consult the crafting guide or use JEI to help with the Crafting of these items! Echo Essence Change: Echo Essence is now easier to craft as the Echo Shards have now been replaced with Sculk blocks. Additionally, the player is now rewarded with 32 essence compared to the 16 rewarded in the past. Voidic Essence Change: Voidic Essence now rewards the player with 32 essence compared to the 16 rewarded in the past.
Rarity Status Changes: Many of the items within the game have undergone rarity status changes to account for how common or how rare an item is to obtain in my opinion. This may be changed within the future. Projectile Damage Changes: While the Blasters are meant to be powerful items, I felt they were too Powerful as even the weakest Blaster was OP! To fix this, I have made significant changes to the way these projectiles cause damage to make them more fair! There may be Enchantments added in the future to these Blasters to help make them stronger or I may modify the stats again if feedback is given (PLEASE GIVE FEEDBACK IF YOU HAVE IDEAS OR ISSUES WITH THE MOD!)
Gilded: Power: 1, Damage: 2.8, Knockback: 2, Total Damage: 5.6 Carmine: Power: 1, Damage: 3.5, Knockback: 2, Total Damage: 7 Tempered: Power: 1, Damage: 3.7, Knockback: 2, Total Damage: 7.4 Oxidized: Power: 1, Damage: 4, Knockback: 2, Total Damage: 8 Azure: Power: 2, Damage: 2.2, Knockback: 3, Total Damage: 8.8 Verdant: Power: 2, Damage: 2.5, Knockback: 3, Total Damage: 10 Ametrine: Power: 2, Damage: 2.9, Knockback: 3, Total Damage: 11.6 Brilliant: Power: 2, Damage: 3.3, Knockback: 3, Total Damage: 13.2 Blazing: Power: 3, Damage: 2.4, Knockback: 3, Total Damage: 14.4 Soulferno: Power: 3, Damage: 2.6, Knockback: 3, Total Damage: 15.6 Voidic: Power: 3.5, Damage: 2.6, Knockback: 3, Total Damage: 18.2 Echo: Power: 4, Damage: 3, Knockback: 12, Total Damage: 24
**Ethereal Blasters - INDEV 0.6.0 - Changelog
The "Ethereal Rebirth" Update!**
Ethereal Blasters is now version 0.6.0! This major update aims to bring major changes to the "tier/progression" system of the blasters by offering two new alloys; Arcanium and Legenderium! A few other items, as well as minor changes such as renaming of items and how certain items work has been placed within this update.
**Major Changes to Ethereal Blasters: **
- Added Arcanium! An all new metal and the second metallergic tier to the blasters, this new lusterous and pink metal now is used to craft all Tier 2 Blasters which include: Azure, Verdant, Ametrine, and Brilliant. Open the spoiler below to reveal how Arcanium is used and created!
- Added Legenderium! The other new alloy added within the 0.6.0 update and the final tier to the blaster progression. This powerful and enigmatic metal is used to craft the Tier 3 blasters which include: Blazing, Soulferno, Voidic, and Echo. Again, click the spoiler below to show how Legenderium is used and crafted!
Crafting Arcanium: To create the next tier of Ethereal Alloys, you will need to first obtain the listed ingredients: 1 Bucket of Arcanium, 1 Etherium Ingot, and 1 Arcanium Fusion Template.
Spoiler
Creating Liquid Arcanium: to create the molten form of Arcanium, the player must throw 1 Heartstone into a Lava Source Block. In doing so, this will convert the Lava into Molten Arcanium which then can be picked up by a bucket. Arcanium used to be Etherium, but it still possesses the same effects which include Ethereal Burn and Resistance.
Crafting the Arcanium Fusion Tablet: The Arcanium Fusion Tablet is a new item along with its sister items that allows for the creation of an Arcanium ingot through the Smithing Process. To obtain the Arcanium Fusion Tablet, the Player must first craft a Blank Fusion Tablet that is crafted with 7 Cobbled Deepslate, 1 Cryodust, and 1 Nether Quartz. To create the Arcanium Fusion Tablet, the Player must then take 7 cryoshards, 1 Heartstone, and the newly crafted Blank Fusion Tablet in a Crafting Table. Only then will the Player be rewarded with the Arcanium Fusion Tablet.
Finishing the Recipe to Arcanium: Now with a Smithing Table, the Player must add the Arcanium Bucket, the Etherium Ingot, and the Arcanium Fusion Tablet in the right order, and then they will be rewarded with this new Alloy!
Uses of Arcanium: Again, Arcanium now takes the place of Etherium for all Tier 2 Blasters within the smithing table. The only ingredient that changed was the alloyed used!
Crafting Legenderium: To create the Tier 3 (or final) Alloy, the Player must have the following ingredients collected: 1 Arcanium Ingot, 1 Legenderium Bucket, and 1 Legenderium Fusion Tablet. Again this is similar to how Arcanium Ingots are crafted.
Spoiler
Crafting Liquid Legenderium: To craft the molten variant of Legenderium the Player must first have an Arcanium Fluid Block and 1 Legendstone. To craft a Legendstone, the Player must take 1 Heartstone, 4 cryoshards, and 4 gilded essence and combine them in the right order to craft a Legendstone, then just like with Arcanium, the player must sacrafice this item to create the newly forged Molten Legenderium (Which can also be picked up with at bucket). However, be warned to not fall into Legenderium as it inflicts the deadly Godly Inferno Effect, while still providing some beneficial effects such as Saturation, Resistance, and Regeneration.
Crafting the Legenderium Fusion Tablet: Just like with the Arcanium Fusion Tablet, the player must have 1 Blank Fusion Tablet, 7 cryoshards, and this time 1 Legendstone in place of the Heartstone. This will reward the player with the Legenderium Fusion Tablet.
Finishing the Recipe to Legenderium: Again with a Smithing Table, the player must combine 1 Arcanium Ingot, 1 Bucket of Legenderium, and 1 Legenderium Fusion Tablet in the right order to create a Legenderium Ingot!
Uses of Legenderium: Again, this new alloy is allowed for only the crafting of the Tier 3 (or Legendary) Blasters which include: Blazing, Soulferno, Voidic, and Echo.
Minor Changes to Ethereal Blasters:
- Changed Fluid Block "Etherium" to "Arcanium" to match tier progression system.
- Changed "Ethereal Ingot" to "Etherium Ingot" to match tier progression system.
- All Tier 2 Blasters have undergone a texture change to match the color of Arcanium.
First time submitting a mod to modrinth, this is to hopefully recieve and get more feedback for ways of improving Ethereal Blasters.

First off, thank you all so much for the support within making this mod! We are super close to passing 350 downloads and are on our way to the 400 downloads milestone! I have also started using MCreator 2024.4 as it is a much more suitable version of the program for Forge 1.20.1.
Ethereal Blasters is now 0.4.3! This update brings a few small changes to the mod which include Damage Scaling, Soulferno Blaster Property Changes, and Updates to the Ethereal Forge GUI! The changes are listed below:
Damage Scaling: All Blasters have had changes to their damage the projectile inflicts upon contact. This is to make the Blasters more "Fair" as most of the higher tier blasters would instant kill players even in full protection netherite armor.
Guilded: Was: 5.0 Now: 4.5 Carmine: Was: 7.5 Now: 5.7 Oxidized: Was: 6.0 Now: 5.5 Tempered: Was: 6.5 Now: 5.5 Verdant: Was: 9.0 Now: 7.8 Azure: Was: 8.3 Now: 7.0 Brilliant: Was: 9.8 Now: 8.6 Ametrine: Was: 9.5 Now: 8.0 Blazing: Was: 12.5 Now: 10.0 Soulferno: Was: 13.0 Now: 11.0 Voidic: Was: 14.0 Now: 11.0 Echo: Was: 18.0 Now: 13.5 New Effects for Soulferno Blaster: The Soulferno Blaster will now inflict the "Soulfired!" effect, which similar to being on fire, it will inflict 2.5 damage for 5 seconds (100 ticks) if hit by the projectile. This effect applies for both Players and Mobs. The Projectile also sets players and entities alight. A particle soulfire effect will be added in a future update! New Ethereal Forge GUI Update: The Ethereal Forge GUI has received a major revamp with now an Ethereal Ingot blue background and Ethereal Fuel Slots and Progress Bars! Be sure to open the GUI to check them out! A future update that prevents the player from being kicked out of the GUI will added in a future update! This is a simple fix of the blockstate needing to be addressed.
