ONWARD

ONWARD v1.1a | VISUALS & ITEMS

merry (early) christmas everyone! i bring to you all the first (and probably the last) update of ONWARD of the year!

⚠️ before you update! ⚠️

i strongly recommend that you back up your worlds & settings and create a new instance of ONWARD for this update. to put it short, there's so much that has changed this update that it could potentially end up affecting your game. just a quick heads up; you might actually be fine!

changelog

gameplay changes

• added the scanner item!
  • the scanner is an item that runs off of modules and energy. it can have up to 3 hot-swappable modules and 6 inactive modules, however each module uses up a certain amount of energy.
• added grappling hooks!
  • there are various grappling hooks you can craft, such as just your standard rope and hook for a regular grappling hook. OR you can get it motorised, allowing you to grapple towards a particular direction fast!
• the max health that a health orb can carry has increased from 10 to 12.
• added slight more progression.
  • this means that skills such as smithing and brewing must be levelled up in order for game progression.
  • this does NOT count for skills such as mining, crafting and strength as this would affect gameplay too much.
• you can now change your datapacks & gamerules in-game!
  • you must have cheats enabled for this to work.
• many more changes... too many to list! :p

visual & UI changes

• the main menu now has a more polished interface
  • alongside this, the options menu has been reverted to the default one.
• added blood.
• added player & mob custom animations!
• added 3D block particles!
• rain droplets now show on the ground whilst it is raining!
• removed "Particular"; the mod was unneeded thanks to Effective.
• kinda the same case here; there's so many changes i can't really list them from the top of my head.

other changes

• various tweaks made
  • for example, hearing dripping water should now have a 100% chance of occurring.
• essential mod updated to latest version
• discord rich presence tweaked slightly
• voice chat is now voice activation by default
  • this can be changed in plasmo voice settings in-game by pressing [F8] and going to "Activation".

upcoming

• in-game changelog
• new default gamerules
  • primarily to disable announcing advancements in chat, but will be used for other gamerules too :)
• mini christmas update!

full closure

as of now i feel ONWARD is in a spot where it will do just fine for what it is right now, sure it's not perfect but it's my first ever proper modpack and i'm proud of how it's turned out so far! i will hopefully get around to polishing up the modpack and optimising performance, but for now i suppose enjoy what i've made so far! take care everyone and merry (early) christmas!! :D
