Ethereal Blasters

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!)
