== Frontiers a2025.0.2: A Taste of Things To Come ==

Additions

Crawler (WIP)

• A new, much deadlier cousin to the Creeper exclusive to Hardmode
  • Only spawns deep underground
  • Sports glowing blue eyes, making it stand out in the dark
  • Absolutely silent when walking, making it almost impossible to detect
  • Will slowly walk towards you while primed, like Beta Creepers. Don't let it near you.
  • Takes longer to explode, but its explosion is far deadlier
  • Will cause a fiery explosion if it's on fire
  • Drops Gunpower & Souls
• Currently unfinished. Expect more from it later:
  • A slightly unique model - about 1.5 blocks tall and fatter
  • Explosions will "infect" nearby blocks, if possible
  • Explosions will alert other nearby Crawlers
  • A spawn egg lol

Souls

• Currently a WIP item, but will be an extremely important resource post-Wither
  • Only drops from Crawlers right now; more enemies will drop them later
  • A very good fuel for your Monster Bakeries, like Coal to a Furnace
  • Can currently be used to craft Phantasmic TNT

Phantasmic TNT

• A TNT block that does far greater explosions
  • Crafted from 4 Gunpowder, 4 Sand, and 1 Soul
  • Its current functionality is temporary; will be a more unique tool later

Eboncork (WIP)

• A new wood type native to the Crags
  • Only available in Creative for the time being
  • Unlike most wood, it generates in large "clusters" on the floors and ceilings of the Crags
    • Doesn't naturally generate yet, but the structures exist in the code! :D
  • One Eboncork makes 2 planks
  • Only planks exist at the moment - a full wood set (excluding a boat) will be added in a future patch

Misc

• Added some small easter eggs for Artyrian because I hate him so much
  • The join/leave messages for this player will be...irritated
  • Artyrian will always drop a single Beetroot on death

This is just a taste of what to expect in a later major Frontiers update - which will be centered around actually making Hardmode more challenging than it is now. Hope you look forward to it!

Changes

Spirit Candle

• Now prevents Endermen from teleporting within their area when lit
  • Both the causing candle and Enderman will emit particles when this succeeds
• Changed crafting recipe:
  • Now calls for 1 incense instead of 2
  • Creates 2 candles

Misc

• Shulker Bullet residue drops are now data-driven
• Changes to Vex Incense drops
  • Now data driven
  • Drop chance increased from 50% to 75%
