🌙 PasterDream Changelog

v0.9.6 — August 13, 2026

🏰 New Dimension: Cold Domain

A brand-new frozen dimension has arrived! Explore the Cold Domain — a snow-covered world with its own unique biomes, terrain generation, and atmospheric visuals (icy-blue skies with deep-blue night fog).

New Blocks:

❄️ Cold Domain Log & Stripped Cold Domain Log — axial pillar blocks with proper bark/end textures
🌿 Cold Domain Leaves — decay naturally like vanilla leaves, drop sticks
🟫 Cold Domain Dirt — spreadable soil for the frozen world
⬜ Snowy Cold Domain Grass — snow-covered grass that spreads and switches snowy side textures
🪓 Axe Stripping — use an axe on Cold Domain Logs to get stripped variants

🌳 Better Biomes — 12 New Trees in Dyedream World

The Dyedream dimension now features 12 fully imported trees from the Better Biomes datapack, naturally generating across all biomes with realistic density variation!

Tree Types:

🌲 Bush & Cherry Bush — low ground cover for dense forests
🌳 Plain Tree — large oak-style canopy for open areas
🌸 Blossom — beautiful flowering trees, rare clusters
🌴 Palm — shoreline tropical trees
🌲 Tall Birch & Poplar — towering slender trees
🌲 Aspen (Big/Mid/Small) — golden deciduous trees
❄️ Snow Tree — spruce with preserved snow blocks
🌲 Giant Conifer — massive 22×40 landmark tree with full crown (no more flat tops!)

Generation:

Trees use noise-driven placement for natural clustering — no more uniform grids!
Each biome gets its own tree palette (forest, dense forest, plains, mushroom, snow, shore)
Giant trees auto-align to chunk centers to prevent generation errors

🌾 Dyedream Farmland — Complete Farming System

Dyedream Farmland now works exactly like vanilla farmland with Dyedream-themed behavior:

🌱 Hoe tilling — use a hoe on Dyedream Grass or Dyedream Dirt to create farmland
💧 Moisture system — water within 4 blocks instantly moisturizes; dries out gradually without crops
👣 Trample protection — jumping on it turns into Dyedream Dirt (never vanilla dirt!)
🌿 2× crop growth speed — crops planted on Dyedream Farmland grow twice as fast
🏷️ Tagged as c:farmlands for mod compatibility

🏮 Dyedream Lantern — New Decorative Light

A beautiful new Dyedream Lantern block has been added!

💡 Emits light level 15 with animated flickering glow
🔗 Can be placed on the ground or hung from ceilings
💧 Waterloggable
🏷️ Tagged in c:lanterns for mod compatibility
🔨 Crafted similarly to Dyedream Crystal Lamps (yields 2)

🧩 Dyedream World Puzzles — Fully Ported

Three classic Dyedream puzzles are now fully functional:

🌸 Garden Decryption — arrange flowers correctly around a Dyedream Desk, then interact with Flower #11 to unlock Flower #12 (dual-block plants now properly replace both halves!)
⛄ Snow Golem Puzzle — gather a Snow Golem and Allay within 9 blocks of the correct flower formation, then sacrifice them to transform Flower #16 into Flower #17
❄️ Frozen Flower — Flower #17 randomly freezes nearby water into ice and accumulates snow on the ground

⚔️ Aaroncos Boss Battle — Major Overhaul

The twin-boss fight against Aaroncos has been completely reworked for a cinematic, fair, and epic experience!

🎭 Combat Rework:

Skills now only trigger when targeting a living enemy — no more random skill spam in peaceful mode
Distance-based skill selection — Left Hand (melee) uses close-range skills; Right Hand (ranged) uses magic from afar
Skills pause auto-attacks — no more awkward skill/basic-attack overlap
Right Hand now maintains preferred combat range (10 blocks) — no more getting stuck in melee spam

💥 Tune Totem Finale (Ultimate):

Triggers when Right Hand is below 1/3 HP AND Left Hand is dead or below 1/5 HP
50-block radius for the explosion warning
2,500 magic damage — devastating but dodgeable
Terrain destruction — 7.5-block explosion radius (half of original)
Cinematic presentation — 3-stage darkening, black-white flash, 6-second intense screen shake, 5-second persistent particle ring
Players can destroy the totem to cancel the explosion!

🎵 Arena BGM:

Fixed boss music not playing — now uses per-player notification sound (no distance falloff!)
Auto-loops every ~149 seconds for continuous atmosphere

🏆 Victory Flow:

Defeating both hands enters Victory Phase — stay in the arena to loot!
Loot chest spawns at ground level (y=42) for easy access
Manual return — right-click the center summon block to teleport back to Overworld
No more auto-kick on kill!

🎨 Full VFX Suite:

Screen Shake System — camera shake on heavy impacts with 3-phase decay
Impact Frames — full-screen monochrome flash on ultimate explosions
Atmosphere Darkening — dynamic fog tinting (crimson during Blood Lock rage mode)
Particle Emitters — charging light pillars, explosion rings, soul flame bursts
Ghost Trails — removed from Shadow Hand dash (too short to be visible), kept for high-motion entities

🛡️ Player-Friendly Fixes:

Creative mode players are completely ignored by all boss attacks, skills, and vortex effects
Bosses properly face their target before firing skills (no more shooting backwards!)
Skill state properly resets on world reload — no more "frozen" bosses after rejoining
Post-summoning invincibility properly clears — bosses are vulnerable after the intro cutscene

🌊 Dyedream Rivers — Natural Waterways

Rivers in the Dyedream dimension have been completely redesigned:

🏞️ Narrow winding channels (~4-8 blocks wide) with sandy banks (~4-8 blocks each side)
🌊 Sea level raised to Y=60 (+5 from Y=55) — rivers now properly contain water
🐠 Tropical fish spawn rate drastically reduced — moved to correct water_ambient category, weight 10→4, count 2-6→1-2
🏝️ Rivers no longer generate in ocean/coastal areas — only on land
🏖️ Riverbeds properly covered in Dyedream Sand (with correct gravity physics!)

🎒 MeltDream Crystal Chest — Customizable Loot

The MeltDream Crystal Chest now supports player-customizable loot pools!

Toggle custom loot in config (default: off, uses built-in pools)
Edit Common / Rare / Legendary item pools via config file or in-game config screen
Format: item_id [quantity] [weight]
Opening chests now grants +2 MeltDream Energy (with configurable multiplier)
MeltDream Energy now regenerates naturally over time (configurable interval & amount)

⚙️ Configuration Overhaul

🔧 Custom Spawn Dimension — choose which dimension & biome new players spawn in (default: disabled)
🚫 Dyedream Crack Generation — properly toggleable! Disabling it removes cracks from worldgen AND prevents /locate lag
🔥 Fire Necklace Ban — can now actually disable the Fire Necklace from functioning
💡 Loading Screen Tips — restored the 22 random tips during loading screens
🌍 Origin Crack at (0,0) — configurable whether a Dyedream Crack generates at world origin
🏝️ Dyedream Origin Spawnpoint — configurable island at Dyedream spawn
📝 Config descriptions now auto-wrap — no more text overflowing the screen!

🛠️ Equipment & Item Fixes

🛡️ Armor defense values fixed — slot order was swapped (boots/chest/leggings/helmet now correct)
⛏️ Tool stats fully aligned with original mod — durability, mining speed, damage, attack speed, enchantability, repair materials
📦 Stack sizes corrected for 10 items (elixirs, membranes, breath items, etc. now properly stack to 1)
✂️ Gardening Pliers now recognized by c:shears and forge:shears tags
🌿 Dyedream Seagrass now only drops when harvested with shears or Silk Touch

🧱 Block Fixes

🏜️ Dyedream Sand now has proper gravity physics — falls when unsupported
🪨 Dyedream Sandstone & Deepstone now drop themselves when mined
🧊 Calcite Spikes (grass_5/grass_6) reclassified as stone blocks — require pickaxe, no longer tagged as flowers
🪵 Cold Domain Log textures fixed — bark and end grain no longer swapped

🔤 Added missing translation keys for Dyedream Deepstone & Dyedream Sandstone

🔧 Technical / Dev

📊 Added automated parity scanner for item stack sizes & buff attribute values vs. original mod
🔍 Added invalid config audit tool to catch "config UI only" settings with no gameplay effect
🧪 Debug structure wands for all 12 Better Biomes trees (centered placement)
