Subtly Dungeons

[5.0 Snapshot 1] - 6/25/26

We have a lot coming up in 5.0!

New Features

Player-Tailored World Generation

• Added the Tailored World Generation system
• During world creation, a "Default" world type can now be customized
• Choosing the "Customize" option allows the player to modify sliders corresponding to world generation factors

  • Current customizable options:

    • Continent Scale
    • Biome Scale
    • Master World Generation Scale

    Developer's Note: Ocean Depth is planned, but for a future update. We tried it, and ultimately decided to wait because

    1. It significantly harmed performance for various reasons
    2. Leaks suggest Mojang intends to update the ocean relatively soon
    3. What fun is a deep ocean with nothing new in it yet :)

Cauldron Stews

• Stews can now be made in cauldrons using their crafting ingredients
• Once an ingredient is added, the cauldron's stew becomes a Light Stew
  • These can also be eaten, though have half the nutrition as a full crafted stew
• One cauldron can hold 3 bowls of stew
• Light Stews made with flowers that would be used to make a suspicious stew, do not grant status effects

Combat

• Added weapon clashes
  • When two attackers attack each other simultaneously (within 10 ticks), if they are weilding the same weapon, their weapons may clash, and do no damage to either of them

  • Determines how much damage and knockback a shield can absorb
  • By default, Shields have a Shield Strength of 5
