Scavengers of Ancient Power

A new world is recommended for this update but not strictly necessary. There are new structures added and minor world gen changes, but nothing that will cause world corruption.

New Additions:

• Many new quest additions
• Added Ice and Fire Community Edition
• Added Mutant Monsters
• Added Monsters in the Closet
• Added Mobs of Mythology
• Added Mutants and Zombies
• Added Rotten Creatures
• Added Iron Chests
• Added Summoner's Scrolls
• Added Serious Player Animations + Serious Reanimated
• Added SoundsBeGone
  • This allows players to disable any sound effect
• Added Leaves be Gone
  • This should help lag in newly generated Spruce biomes
• Added ImmediatelyFast (configured to be compatible with ModernUI)
• Swapped AmbientSounds for Atmosfera
  • AmbientSounds doesn't work with SoundsBeGone so this was a necessary change for this new accessibility addition
• Added an easy recipe for the tier one recall mirror to make it more accessible early game
• Enabled FancyVFX "improved bow" (player and mobs have a circle showing when they are charging their bow and where their projectile will go)
  • This is configured to be less obstructive than it normally is

Other Changes:

• Updated all mods
• Enemies now have shorter i-frame window, making them easier to hit with high attack speed or weapons that fire multiple projectiles.
• Huge buffs to the Marium's Soulslike Weaponry gun items, making them viable options for a ranged weapon build
• Changes to cave generation to make surface caves go much deeper and longer
• Changes to the names of some mobs and items to differentiate them from ones with identical names
• Armor tweaks to common mobs to assist with early game
• Camera sway no longer changes crosshair's position on vertical axis
• Fog has been added back to water
• Adjusted brightness levels in the Nether
• Disabled some dynamic lighting due to performance issues in large structures
  • Player-held items still work as normal
• Jade tooltip now dodges boss/raid bars
• Jade tooltip no longer has icons by default (this feature was very buggy and not very useful)
• Greatly reduced the amount of time Advancement Plaques will stay on screen
• Reduced the number of bubble particles in bubble columns by 95%
  • This will massively reduce the noise and lag in Bathhouses
• Reduced the amount of smoke emitted from campfires
  • This will help improve lag in villages
• Changed default damage particle behavior to "rising" (was "has gravity")
  • This should improve damage particle visibility when fighting large mobs like bosses
• In-world health bars now work properly with shaders enabled
• Greatly improved default appearance of Euphoria-patched shaders
• Disabled dynamic handheld lighting in default settings of pre-installed shaders (this prevents it from being rendered twice)
• Added small menu enhancements with ModpackUtils
  • Links to SAP mod page available on main menu
  • Better custom icon and title
  • Low RAM alert
