Patch Notes 2.0.0-BETA-1a

Final Destination Rework

This update is a ground-up rewrite of the old mod. Everything you know is here, but almost nothing wasn't overhauled. The actual details of the rework would never fit in any channel so this is a general overview.

Changes & Updates

A Brand New Engine

• The entire mod was rebuilt from scratch on modern Minecraft and NeoForge
• Every core system (character data, chakra and stamina pools, XP and levels, stat investment, mastery, cooldowns) is new and syncs cleanly in multiplayer
• Built for mutli- AND singleplayer and performance-first from day one

Nindo Tree replaces Skill Learners!

• The old 53 Skill Learner items are gone. Progression now derives from one Skill Tree you open and spend JP in
• Releases, dojutsu lines, clan kits, modes and taijutsu tiers are all nodes on the tree, with prerequisites and stat gates
• Server owners get a full in-game tree editor to toggle nodes or change prices

The Living World!

• An entire NPC and world system
• Villages generate with Kage estates, clan compounds, an academy and merchant stalls, plus wandering patrols and standing garrisons
• Affiliations are fully data-driven now, so villages and organisations are configurable and server owners can add their own
• Diplomacy, Territory & Claims, a village Treasury, and personal Reputation that remembers what you have done to each village
• Ranks & Merit: climb your village ladder by killing rival ninja, completing quests and taking captures, all the way to Kage
• Elections & Coups: villages run their own timed elections, petitions and leader takeovers on a Council screen (merging the old KageVote add-on into the Villages add-on inside the main mod here)
• Raids: NPC squads and tailed beasts raid villages
• Bingo Book: a live bounty board where wanted players and rotating PvE targets get a target on their back
• A full in-game NPC Editor for server owners to build NPCs, dialogs and quests
• Bosses, senseis and sage hermits you find, challenge and learn from out in the world

Tailed Beasts & Jinchuuriki Overhaul!

• A proper jinchuuriki registry with a contest to claim a beast and seal parts or all of it's chakra
• Bijuu sealing added with it's own efficiency and limit caps, allowing Fuinjutsu mains to seal way more of a TB than others
• All beasts received animated Stage 1 to 4 transformation forms
• Every beast got unique signature attacks and passives
• Brand new Tailed Beast Chakra Mode
• Beast switching and progression in the Nindo Tree

Dojutsu Rework!

• Four dojutsu lines with staged progression
• Sharingan through Mangekyo, EMS and Rinnegan, plus Byakugan into Tenseigan, Jougan and Ketsuryugan
• A shared Sight Matrix giving every dojutsu it's own passive visual abilities, even stacking together

Summoning Rework!

• The summon menu system from the old mod's newer updates strengthened
• Summon Management Menu, stances, target filters, recall, refresh, dismiss-all and mastery-scaled minion slots
• The whole roster brought over and expanded: toad, snakes, slug, the Ninken pack, puppets, giant animals and more, each with their own abilities and AI

Combat & Balance Overhaul!

• Combat balancing was entirely overhauled. Lower damage but also way shorter cooldowns and lower chakra costs for some increased fluidity in fights
• Genjutsu engine expanded and every debuff respects PvP rules
• More mobility in combat through the active dodge
• Health is entirely uncapped now

Config Overhaul!

• A full in-game Config Center (GUI) covering every server config, with search, mass editing and reset
• Config migration between mod updates
• Almost all configs are data driven and brought into a more modern format
• An insane part of the mod is freely configurable

Menu Overhaul!

• New HUD placement GUI to reposition your health/chakra bar
• Eye Editor to reposition your eyes on your face and set priority orders for dojutsu to decide what's in your left and right eye
• Village GUI for all information and functionalities that relate to affiliations, diplomacy, parties and territories
• Questlog to check on your current tasks
• Mode Wheel to quickly manage all your unlocked modes in

DNA Overhaul!

• Intelligence is uncapped so World Mysteries stay relevant
• DNA identification chance never reaches 100% but gradually gets closer
• Otsutsuki DNA doesn't increase the old max HP cap anymore but instead increases max HP by a percentage multiplier
• New Hashirama Cell and Orochimaru Cell DNA. Hashirama is required for Rinnegan and Orochimaru for Snake Release. Both increase passive HP regeneration

Other Changes & Additions

• Akimichi Clan, grow bigger or grow wings, you decide
• Sealing / Fuinjutsu system for enemy encumbrance and beast sealing
• The Rogue and Akatsuki path
• Clan Passives so collecting clans also amasses passive effects
• Consumables reworked with their own config
• The old ChakraBars addon is now native
• Xaero's Map compatibility for affiliation territory
• A public Add-on API so the community can build on top of the mod

This is a fresh mod and a fresh start. Worlds and progression do not carry over from the legacy mod. Server owners should check out the new Config Center (/nd config) and set up affiliations, permissions and balance before opening to a playerbase. Please report anything you find in bug-reports in as much detail as you can.
