Equipment Overhaul

• All Equipment now has tooltips to help you figure out what it does
• There are 3 paths, one for each dimension
• I still need to add in the final tiers for the Overworld and Nether and the last two tiers for the End path
• Each tier starts with Diamond/Netherite(If Et Futurum Requiem is installed) and will branch out into their own paths
• NETHER: netherite/tophinite -> crystallized vanite -> ophidian -> hellfire(WIP)
• END: klangite -> kylazite -> dezmium(WIP) -> novinum(WIP)
• Overworld : klangite -> warden -> crystallite(WIP) -> guardian(WIP)
• NOTE: Each tier is not exactly equivalent, for instance the Warden Set is far more challenging to obtain compared to Kylazite Set and as such protects more and as more durability among other bonuses, but the final tiers of each set will be similar in base stats
• ALSO: Vanite Crowns are far more useful now, have fun with them

New Mobs

• Added Sculk Incinerator o Found in abundance in the Ancient City o Low HP and movement speed o They fly around like Ghasts until they see a player where they will start charging up their lasers and firing at the player while moving toward them o Without some kind of Protection enchantments or Resistance effects these mobs will likely 3 shot you so come prepared

• Added Wardling o A miniboss of sorts, can be found either in the Ancient City or a rare spawn when walking on Sculk Blocks o Will not despawn naturally o Has attacks similar to the Warden but deals less damage and weaker armor and HP o Killing it will give you Wardling Dust

• Added Nitro o Basically, a Nether Creeper o Has a larger Explosion but slightly longer fuse time o Drops what you would expect o Spawns in the Nether

• Added Nulk o Abominations summoned by the Prisoner when damaged or at random o They act like Phantoms but deal far more damage and have slightly more HP o Drop Nulk Dust and Static Essence on Death

• Added Nuxx o Abominations summoned by the Prisoner when damaged or at random o Deal more damage than Reality Distorters o Have no armor though o Drop Static Essence on Death

• Added Outsider Eye o Flying Eye, range is not that great o Only 1HP but deals massive damage when melee hit you o Think of Corries from Divine RPG but not as unfair o Drop Outsider Essence on death o Will Spawn Naturally in all 3 dimensions once Hardmode is enabled

• Added Outsider o Similar in stats to the Nuxx but has high armor o Drop Outsider Essence on death o Will Spawn Naturally in all 3 dimensions once Hardmode is enabled

• **Added The Prisoner ** o To be faced after beating The Warden o Basically, once summoned you will need go around the ancient city where there are cracked nullstone deactivators and you will need to repair using dimensional sealant which will be crafted with things in the ancient city and a new drop from the mobs he summons. o Once they are all repaired, and a final one is placed on the unknown portal activator it will turn blue, and you will be able to hurt him; if you try to damage him before you do this all damage is negated as he will be impossible to kill. o When damaged The Prisoner will summon either Nuxx or Nulk to ward you off o Has 1000HP o Deals do significantly more damage than The Warden o On death he will drop a few things and Hardmode will be enabled

HARDMODE

• Once The Prisoner is defeated Hardmode will be enabled. During the brief time the Portal to The Unknown was open the evil from the other side leaked over where heavily buffed up versions of vanilla mobs are now able to spawn in all 3 dimensions and some new mobs like the Outsider and Outsider Eye
• Some existing mobs from NovaCraft will also be buffed
• Finally, no I have not played Terraria it is just a coincidence

New Structures

• Added Advanced Dungeons o Generate in the Overworld o They are somewhat rare, made up of cobbled grimstone, deepslate, and/or nullstone o The floor will have some kind of ore in place of mossy cobblestone o 3-4 chest per dungeon and sometimes a treasure crate o The mobs have higher armor and will have weapons equipped with them o The spawners are usually encased in something o Some of them are more difficult than others o Spawner could be Zombie, Skeleton, Spider, or Cave Spider

• Added Nether Dungeons o Very similar to ones in the Overworld but are made up of Blackstone Bricks (If Netherlicious is installed) otherwise will use Nullstone Bricks o The Spawner could be any of the naturally spawning NovaCraft nether mobs other than the blazing serpent or Chaotic o It has its own loot table o Found only near the bottom of the Nether so likely encountered when mining for ancient debris or tophinite

• Added Blazing Serpent Dungeons o Found on top of lakes in the Nether o Has Blazing Serpent Spawners o Similar loot to the Nether Dungeons with a few additional things

• Added Sea Serpent Ruins o Usually buried and made up of prismarine blocks o Found in Deep Ocean biomes o Sea Serpents no longer spawn naturally and are only spawn from the spawner o There is always a flooded crate here

• Added Ancient City (Well my take on it)

• Structure is rare and only will start generating 5k from spawn

• Cannot be found in oceans, swamps, rivers, or deep oceans due to lack of vertical space

• Likely will have a lag spike when it generates but they are rare so I would not worry about it for server owners

• While not as unique and cool as in 1.19 as there will be no vibration mechanic as I have no idea how to add that

• Some of the blocks are missing as well but there will different versions of the Ancient City one made out the deepslate from Et Futurum Requiem or grimstone in the config.

• Basically, it is like a massive ruined underground dungeon with spawners, traps and actual loot

• Hostiles mobs spawn in and around the structure naturally; no idea how to change this...

• • There are several new buildings/ruins in the city pertaining to features in NovaCraft.

• Progression is likely post Nether exploration but honestly should be explored after traveling to the End as it is quite difficult due to the many sculk mobs here

• There are exclusive sculk mobs that spawn here among other things but I will leave that for you to encounter

• If I am missing any of the parts of the ancient city from 1.19(there are a lot of them), link me what part it is from a wiki or something I will see if I can add that in at some point

Bug Fixes

• Rewrote the stone generation code to better match vanilla to hopefully increase load times (I cannot tell but let me know what you think)
• Fixed all budding blocks not growing naturally…
• Bug with additional ores in caves generating in place of non-stone blocks o NOTE: If you use the Et Futurum Requiem deepslate override all stone below a specific y-level config option, it will still sometimes override grimstone and nullstone ores; Roadhog will be fixing this is an update/patch eventually…
