Important update: We have found that REID/JEID simply causes Hive Creep to not create the biome. No memory leaks or stalls have been observed, so the incompatibility is harmless. We're still working on a patch in the meantime.

• New texture variant for Follyflesh block
• Made Unknown Specimens slightly more expensive
• New Creeped Bulb Block

Technical changes for addon developers:

• Added Addon support (A new configuration folder is created for each preset, place your addon's configuration files in there!)
  • Makes addon development easier and keeps configurations neat & organized
  • Developers: To get preset values (id), reference ConfigBase.selectedPreset for presetInts()/presetFloats()/presetBools()/presetStrings()
• Added functionalities for addon developers:
  • presetStrings(String normal, String deathWorld, String darkForest, int id) - To use different strings across different presets
  • presetStringArrays(String[] normal, String[] deathWorld, String[] darkForest, int id) - To use different string arrays across different presets (For example: Creeped transformations)
  • presetIntArrays(int[] normal, int[] deathWorld, int[] darkForest, int id) - To use different integer arrays across different presets (for example: dimension ids)
  • presetFloatArrays(float[] normal, float[] deathWorld, float[] darkForest, int id) - To use different floating-point value arrays across different presets

We are leaving alpha at last!

This update is potentially incompatible with old worlds or may cause a few issues when updating. "Optional" dependencies means this mod has cross-mod interactions and are not required for normal gameplay.

Reading these (x/y/z) statements are the default config values that are different across the new preset systems. X = Classic, Y = Death World, and Z = Dark Forest.

• Split Radiogenics Config into 4 categories:
  • Wyrms
  • Creeped
  • Follies
  • Global (Affects Wyrms, Creeped, and Follies alike)
• New config options for Radiogenics:
  • Wyrms:
    • Drop pods cause block damage (false/true/true)
  • Creeped:
    • Immune to Explosions (false/true/true)
    • Immune to Cacti (false/false/false)
    • Immune to Falling (false/false/true)
  • Global:
    • Mob Easter Eggs (true/true/true)
• Wyrms in classic mode are now only immune to falling
• Creeped mobs made into a unified class (That is technical speak for "they now have their own properties")
• Drop pods can now destroy blocks upon landing in Death World and above difficulties
• Unified more drop pod code for consistency
• Visitor-originating Callous Landing Pods now spawn rovers and soldiers instead of probers
• Moved more rendering code to be client-side only
• Evolution decays ~66% faster (but still respects minimum evolution rules)
• Removed some unused code
• Visitor no longer gets pushed by its own drop pods
• Visitor drops pods further away from each other
• Improved code for wyrms exploding on death while on fire
  • This should reduce the amount of code in the mod
  • Added internal (invisible) potency stat.
  • Wyrms with 0 potency will not violently explode at death, but provide no evolution points upon death as well.
  • Wyrms, regardless of the configuration rules, will still contribute evolution points on death, so long as they have potency.
• New "potency" stat in wyrms
  • Determines if the mob explodes on death via fire
  • Also determines if the entity has (and how much) evolution points to contribute upon death.
    • If potency is at least 20 or more, every 20 points and after is +1 evolution point added.
  • Potency stats of wyrms:
    • Visitor: 100 (5 evo points on death)
    • Creepwyrm: 45 (2 evo points on death)
    • Soldier: 15
    • Warrior: 10
    • Vanitas: 6
    • Myrmur & Biter: 4
    • Worker: 3.5
    • Rover: 3
    • Wyrmling: 1.5
    • Creepling: 1.25
    • Prober: 1
  • All drop pods have a potency of zero
  • Wyrm explosion power decreased in most cases
• Redone how entities are registered into the game
• Warrior tracking (and render) distance increased from 64 to 128
• Fixed soldier infectoid variant having lower tracking distance
• Increased Creepling tracking distance from 16 to 32
• New spawner items for wyrms
• Pod & Voidwyrm spawner items spawn their entities in the air
• Strykelings now spawn in the center of blocks
• Spawner items that fail to spawn an entity will spawn a Spider instead.
• Removed vanilla-style spawn eggs for wyrm mobs (with a few exceptions at the moment)
• Massive English language file update
• New descriptions for mobs
• Creepwyrms can no longer be pushed around and actually stay stationary on blocks.
• New debug mode messages related to evolution points being added and natural decay of evolution points. (Lever 5 debug mode or above needed)
• Killing wyrms with fire increases evo points gained by 2x (Dark Forest only, configurable in Evolution configurations)
• Updated Strykeling animations
• Wyrm stats are now persistent across world loads, including across sessions.
  • Fixed wyrm stats (health, armor, damage, etc.) only being saved to memory (RAM)
  • Before, just follies would do this.
  • Creeped also remember their stats
• Improved animation functions built upon Geckolib
  • Wyrms now use an Animation Array to define and pick out animations, therefore reducing the amount of work needed to define new animations
  • I thought the current system was a bit messy and hard to look at, so I fixed it (somewhat.)
• Creepwyrms that infest a certain number of blocks will now summon a new Creeped unit.
  • Classic difficulty: Will summon only biters
  • Death World difficulty: Will summon tier 1 Creeped (Biters, Creeplings)
  • Dark Forest difficulty: Will summon any Creeped
• Creepwyrms that make (10/8/7) successful summons will call forth (1/2/3) Creep Pods from the sky in a (30/45/100)-block radius.
• Increased the size of the Creepwyrm hitbox
• Creepwyrms now use their summoning animation
• New secrets
• Removed despawn timer references for Visitor
  • Why was that still there?
• Introducing new advancements:
  • "How did we get here?"
  • "KILL IT WITH FIRE!"
  • "A Splitting Migraine"
  • "Not Today!"
  • "Californium's Witness"
• New AI abilities
  • Banishment
  • Smite
  • Wide-area Attack
• Soldiers now use a wide-range swipe attack
  • No animation for it yet!
• Wyrms now use an even more aggressive AI
  • This means if something interrupts them from chasing and attacking their current target, they will switch to another target.
  • Wyrms will be less forgiving when swarmed/interrupted
    • Wyrms gain positive potion effects
    • They will knock back the original target in order to clear the way to the new target
    • Certain wyrms can not enrage:
      • Wyrmlings
      • Workers
      • All drop pods
      • All Creeped
