Memento - Natural Renewal

What’s new

Visual feedback for stone creation Lorestones and Witherstones now emit a short, server-side particle effect when they are placed. This gives immediate, in-world confirmation that an area has come under influence — fully vanilla and without any client mods.

More natural-shaped areas of influence The area affected by Lorestones and Witherstones is now calculated using a world-space distance model instead of chunk-aligned squares. This results in smoother, more organic influence shapes that better reflect how stones are placed in the world.

Why this matters

• Stone placement is easier to trust and understand
• Areas of influence feel less grid-like and more natural
• Visual feedback and spatial behavior are now aligned conceptually

Technical notes (high level)

• Influence areas are derived from stone position using chunk-center distance
• Visual effects are event-driven and lightweight
• Clear separation between domain logic (renewal & protection) and presentation (visual cues)

This release focuses on clarity, correctness, and foundations. Future versions will expand on this with richer area visualization, maturity warnings, and operator-controlled inspection tools.
