Preserved: Inferno

Improved Smithing Templates

• New: Smithing templates now become exhausted rather than being destroyed when used in a smithing table
• Smithing templates can be unexhausted by using the old smithing template duplication recipe
• Smithing template repair recipe has been changed to require only 1 diamond and 7 of the variable resource

Hindered Status Effect

Players who are hindered will receive the following debuffs:

• Reduce player speed by (10 * effect level)% (max 100%)
• Reduce player attack speed by (10 * effect level)%
• Reduce player mining speed to (0.5 ^ effect level) * 100%)
• Reduce player jump height to (0.3 ^ effect level) * 100%)
• Disabled sprinting

Hindered is a new status effect that is unique to powder snow as of now but will likely see more implementation in the future.

Powder Snow Changes

• Increased block hardness from 0.25 -> 1
• Reduced time to freeze from 140 -> 60 ticks
• Powder snow can no longer be destroyed by liquids
• Powder snow will no longer melt upon extinguishing an entity
• Whenever the player takes freezing damage, hindered (level 1) will be applied to them for 8 seconds
  • This timer will refresh if the player takes another tick of freezing damage.
• Reduced nether melting time from 60 -> 20 ticks

We have increased the threat of powder snow not only to increase the threat level of mountains but also to be used as a deadlier tool to use in future structure projects.

Zombified Piglin Changes

• Reduced zombified piglin health from 20 -> 12
• Increased zombified piglin move speed from 0.23 -> 0.3

While zombified piglins have shown to be a formidable threat, we think that they have been too bulky for a mob which can swarm and deal immense damage. We are leaning more into the zombified piglin being a glass cannon threat which can be easy to deal with individually but can become much more deadly in a group.

Heat Changes

• Increased heat gain interval from 4.8 -> 6.0 seconds
• Decreased heat gain interval increased granted by fire protection from 0.45 -> 0.4 seconds
• New: Taking fire damage in the nether will now increase the player's total heat by 1
• New: Taking freezing damage will now decrease the player's total heat by 10
• Added a new heat related advancement

We are giving the player more time to roam around the Nether dimension and cutting away time if they player encounters mobs that can deal fire damage or walk into fire on their own volition.
