Spooky Adventures

2.1: The "Polishing Horizons" update

⚠ Please run the /simplebackups backup start command to force a full backup of your world for proper operation of Simple Backups mod. The new backups will be stored in the simplebackups folder, and you can find the old ones in simple_backups one.

➖ Removed (0 mods):

• 🌫 BSL Shaders (replaced) — Never suited this modpack.
• 🌫 Complementary Shaders - Reimagined — The same reason.

➕ Added (0 mods):

• 🌫 Hysteria Shaders (replacement) — A successor of Insanity Shaders, which I recently learned about and which works with Distant Horizons.

🔁 Updated:

• ⚠ Revised backup strategy of Simple Backups:
  • The backup now saves all files which changed after the last full backup, that takes place every 7 days.
  • Increased the number of stored backups to 5 & disk space to 12 GB.
  • Reduced the interval between backups from two hours to one.
  • Backups no longer include Distant Horizons files and will be created much faster for larger worlds.
• Updated Vanilla Tweaks resource pack:
  • Removed 3D sun and moon.
  • Removed cloud fix for ones beyond vanilla render distance that was conflicting with Embeddium and Embeddium Extra.
  • Updated the rest of the pack.
• Re-enabled Distant Horizons' cloud rendering.
• Updated textures in custom Default Dark Mode: Further add-on pack.
• The Hordes:
  • The Red Merchant from Supplementaries now has his own texture when zombified.
• Uncraftables data pack:
  • The labyrinths from Dungeon Now Loading now generate even rarer and no longer spawn in oceans.
  • Added several recipes from The Creeper's Code.
  • Reworked (nerfed) many furnace recycling recipes. Added some new ones.
  • Reworked and nerfed MrCrayfish's Gun Mod's recycling recipes. Added two new advancements. The root advancement is no longer hidden.
  • Added some new advancements for [TaCZ]. The root advancement is no longer hidden.
  • Removed many duplicate recipes.
• Translations resource pack:
  • Translated every single tag left in EMI debug log output.

⚠ Notes and known issues:

• ‼ When reloading resource packs, the game may crash and throw you into the title screen.
  • This is some kind of another problem with GeckoLib, or with the mod(s) using it, and I can hardly do anything about it.
• ⚠ When selecting any of the Complementary + ... shaders, a glitch may occur in which the LODs of Distant Horizons are overlaid on top of the vanilla chunks. The problem can be solved by switching to a different set of shaders and back, or by resetting the shaderpack settings and then restoring them.
• The starter kit isn't automatically given to new players joining the LAN world.
  • Use /starterkit give <player> default until the mod author resolves this issue.
• The Fog mod won't be readded, as support for 1.20.1 has been discontinued, so it will no longer have support for Distant Horizons.

📋 Long-term plans

• Quark may be added in the future.

2.0: The 'Sultry Frost' update and further rearrangements

The biggest modpack update in terms of the changelog.

ℹ This version has been tested for successful connection of the client to the host.

I apologize for the hasty previous release 1.11, which was broken due to the inattention of mine and Tax Free Levels mod's author.

Decided to postpone this one to accumulate more significant changes.

➖ Removed:

• [ESF] Entity Sound Features — Unnecessary/too insignificant. (Further, the absence of a explanation will mean the same thing)
• Acedium
• AmbientSounds (replaced)
• AnimaticaReforged
• Async Locator — Breaks the names of the items preset in the loot tables.
• Client Tweaks (replaced)
• Crabber's Delight (replaced)
• Deeper and Darker Delight
• Embeddium++ (replaced)
• Ender Zoology
• Enhanced Mob Spawners
• Entity View Distance
• Explorer's Compass — Has performance issues and essentially is cheating.
• Eyes In The Darkness
• Farmer's Respite — Stopped functioning for an unknown reason.
• Forge CIT — Гарантированно приводит к сбою игры при перезагрузке ресурсов (как в мире, так и в меню). CIT Reforged could replace it, but it crashes when starting the game due to incompatibility with ModernFix. (May affect Incendium)
• Gigeresque — Has a critical problem with mixins, Sculk Horde mod and Warden mob. Won't be fixed for Forge.
• GraveStone Mod ⚠ (replaced) — I don't like the fact that he doesn't save the players' experience in the grave at all, not even a percentage of it. (⚠ All graves from this mod will, of course, disappear when updating!)
• Hang Glider
• Hoe Tweaks
• Inventory Sorter (replaced)
• Just Enough Beacons Reforged
• Kelp Fertilizer
• LAN World Plug-n-Play (mcwifipnp) (experiment failed, replaced)
• Mob Boss Bars — Mostly, the mob it informs about is somewhere deep underground.
• Minium Stone
• Mindful Darkness
• Nature's Compass — Same reason as Explorer's Compass.
• NetherPortalFix
• Nutritious Milk
• OpticManager (replaced)
• Postmortal Particles
• RightClickHarvest (replaced)
• RyoamicLights (replaced)
• Simple Magnets (experiment failed)
• Simple Voice Chat (experiment failed)
• Surface Mushrooms
• The Lost Castle — Has anyone ever found it?
• The Man From The Fog (temporarily) — After its last update, his spawnrate seems to ignore the values in the configuration, and the animations are too broken. It will be returned after the rewrited version announced by the developer is released (if it's better than it's now).
• The Midnight Lurker (temporarily, I hope) — Recently, a lot of issue have appeared with it: too frequent spawnrate, despite the configuration file settings; looping of the despawning animation, which leads to a game crash if you approach him; constant lags when chasing. In the meantime, there's one monster less.
• Tiny Item Animations
• Tiny Skeletons
• Tool Trims — May cause crashes with modded items.
• Underground Villages — Problems with generation next to other structures.
• Vanilla Sky Villages
• Visuality: Reforged
• Wool Tweaks — Moved to Uncraftables. (It somehow survived the purge)
• YUNG's Extras
• YOSBY (replaced)
• Zoomify (replaced)

➕ Added:

• Distant Shaded Panoramas (a resource pack) — Overworld, night, rainy weather.
• It's a Big Gun — A gun pack for [TaCZ]. (With some balance adjustments)
• Alex's Mobs Interaction (readded)
• Amendments
• BadOptimizations
• Battle Towers
• BE Style Wither
• Better Days (replacement) — A mod for increasing the day length, which should be better compatible with Serene Seasons and be more concise than Hourglass. Brought back the mechanics of the night acceleration when using the bed.
• Brewin' And Chewin'
• Client Sort (replacement)
• Collector's Reap (replacement) — This mod is partly a marine addon Farmer's Delight like Crabber's Delight, but it doesn't add another squid tentacles item, as the addons already available here do, and generally has more extras.
• Configurable Despawn Timer (readded) — It took me to go to the cave once to realize my mistake.
• Configured Defaults (replacement) — Now the default configurations will be located in the configdefaults folder next to config, not inside it.
• Cool Rain
• Countered's Terrain Slabs — Will smooth out terrain irregularities in some biomes using slabs.
• Cubes Without Borders (replacement) — Replacing the borderless fullscreen mode feature from Embeddium++. There could be Sodium Extras here for better consistency with the Sodium Options API, but its functions are redundant due to the existing mods and aren't used (sorry, True Darkness mode).
• Custom LAN (readded)
• Delightful Burgers
• Delightful Sandwiches
• Delightful
• Environmental Creepers — Creepers now drop 90% of exploded blocks and have a 0.1% chance of triggering a chain reaction if there is another creeper within a radius of 8 blocks. The explosion power of common creepers is now 16.67% lower, and charged ones is 25% higher.
• Euphonium (replacement) — A new ambient sounds mod.
• Euphoria Patches — Now the ComplementaryUnbound/Reimagined + EuphoriaPatches shaders will be loaded from this mod.¹
• Exposure
• Fast Paintings
• Forgotten Graves (replacement) — Since the fix from the Sinytra Connector will no longer be provided, the author of the mod suggested to downgrade the version to the one where the new text formatter was introduced. (I remember that before some update of this mod in this modpack it didn't have that catastrophic FPS drop when having a grave in the field of view)
• Gardens of the Dead
• GpuTape — Designed to solve problems with periodic short FPS drops.
• Harvest with ease (replacement)
• Immersive Aircraft
• Immersive Armors
• Immersive Optimization ⚠ (experimentally)
• Immersive Snow — Should help when visiting biomes after the winter season.
• It Takes a Pillage
• Load My F***ing Tags — Will fix broken tags that can't be fixed via data pack.
• Log Begone — To filter multiple duplicate messages that aren't errors.
• Man of Many Planes
• Ok Zoomer (replacement)
• Particle Core — Designed to optimize particles.
• Particular ✨ Reforged
• Pretty Rain — Also known as Particle Rain. Designed to improve vanilla weather effects and give them a more shader-like appearance.
• Sawmill — The successor to Sawblade Recipes data pack, which was removed back in v1.6.
• Screenshot Viewer
• Sit's End Teleport Anchor
• Sodium Dynamic Lights (replacement) — Dynamic lighting mod integrated into the Embeddium menu.
• StartInv — Designed to temporarily protect against damage while on the loading screen when connected to the world/server.
• Supplemental Patches — An addon to Euphoria Patches and some mods.
• Supplementaries Squared
• Supplementaries
• Third Person Shooting: Zero
• Timeless and Classics Guns: LesRaisins Append Pack — A gun pack for [TaCZ] as a mod.
• Toni's Immersive Lanterns — Now the light source can be placed in a special slot.
• Traveler's Titles
• YUNG's Cave Biomes
• ⏳ Default Dark Mode Expansion Further (a resource pack) — A pack made by me for completing darkening for some GUIs that aren't yet included in the Default Dark Mode or Default Dark Mode: Expansion packs yet.

🔁 Updated:

• Updated modpack description. Added links to GitHub.
• ⚠ Reenabled the temperature mechanics from Tough As Nails.
  • Significantly expanded the lists of items in the tags of cooling/heating units, cold/hot fuel for the thermoregulator, items for holding cooling/heating, armor and its finishes, as well as food and beverages.
  • Now, thirst is restored in various amounts by almost everything from the following list: potions, water, milk, juices, teas, coffees, shakes, ice creams, popsicles, jams, jellies, custards, berries, watermelons, pumpkins, cakes, soups and alcoholic beverages; this applies to food and drinks from Farmer's Delight and its addons, as well as from several other mods.
• ⚠ Updated the RPG Loot data pack.
  • Now it's a sufficient port and a standalone Modrinth data pack.
  • Updated the format and fixed many errors in the legacy loot tables inherited since 1.16.
  • Removed unused and duplicate tables.
  • Renamed Very Rare items to Epic.
  • Rebalanced some items.
  • Revised the distribution of tables by vanilla structures' chests.
  • Items of respective value can still be found in most of the vanilla structures, as well as where vanilla chests' loot tables are used.
  • These items can also be obtained by killing Ravagers (1-2 random items), Killer Rabbits (1-2 items), Giant Zombies (1-3), Elder Guardians (1-4), Wardens (2-4), Withers (6-12, without a Nether Star duplicate) and Ender Dragons (8-16) (in the future, the list will be expanded with some modded mobs).
  • In addition to items, you can now find special potions that previously existed but were unused.
• Tweaked The Hordes config.
  • Added all vanilla-looking endermen and illagers from It Takes a Pillage to zombie-infectable list and removed Illager Invasion's Necromancer from it.
  • The hordes are now correctly linked to world time, rather than to the player, which is designed to eliminate their spawning during the day.
  • Now villagers can turn into zombies at any difficulty level.
  • Greatly reduced the duration of the Immunity effect on food (now it's equal to the duration of the Regeneration effect).
  • Readded zombie players.
  • Completely removed the 'protection against zombie infection' tooltips on armor items, because they appear just everywhere.
• Сhanged ore veins generation once again.
  • This time in the direction of increase.
  • Emerald ores now drop 2-4 emeralds by default.
• Slightly optimized Sculk Horde config.
  • The spread was slowed down from a twentieth of a second to a quarter of a second.
• Added partially emissive textures to ore creepers. Slightly buffed their spawnrate.
• Removed the creepers' X-ray vision and, in return, buffed their view range.
• Fixed crash when Shift+clicking items between containers caused by the unstable unofficial port of Smooth Swapping. Now it's replaced a Fabric version that works via the Sinytra Connector even smoothly.
• EMI:
  • Fixed duplicating mod name tooltips.
  • Fixed periodic crash when using quick crafting feature on Shift+click on the recipe panel.
  • Improved default configuration.
• [TaCZ]:
  • Restored the default weapons pack. (Oops... the purge swept away what shouldn't have been)
  • Currently, the rendering of weapons in the first person is broken due to the newly appeared incompatibility with the First-person Model.
  • As a fix, the general ID of all firearms from this mod (tacz:modern_kinetic_gun) were added to the exception list so that the holding weapons is 'Vanilla'.
  • Additionally, all the firearms from MrCrayfish's Gun Mod were also included there, since shooting from the hip is not very convenient, and this should have been done a long time ago.
• Uncraftables data pack:
  • Now a separate data pack with extra tags is embedded.
  • Adjusted and added various tags to group some items, fix broken recipes, and tweak some structures generating.
  • Removed a lot of legacy recipes that didn't make sense and/or were too unbalanced.
  • Increased MrCrayfish's Gun Mod ammo recipes ingredient cost. They're still 1.5-2 times cheaper than [TaCZ] ones.
• Translations resource pack:
  • Updated the icons of vanilla mobs.
  • Corrections and adjustments of localizations.
• Other minor changes in the configs.

⚠ Notes and known issues:

• ⚠ When selecting any of the Complementary + ... shaders, a glitch may occur in which the LODs of Distant Horizons are overlaid on top of the vanilla chunks. The problem can be solved by switching to a different set of shaders and back, or by resetting the shaderpack settings and then restoring them.
• ¹ Due to the addition of the Euphoria Patches mod, all overwritten shader files available in the modpack (also including Rethinking Voxels) have been reset and are now loaded from Modrinth.
  • This means that when using the Rethinking Voxels, Complementary Reimagined or Complementary Unbound shaders, all modded ore blocks will no longer have emissive textures.
  • For better compatibility with mods, I recommend using the available shader packs having "EuphoriaPatches" in their name.
  • For best compatibility use ones with "Supplemental Patches" in the name.
• In those recipes displayed in EMI where tags are used, technical strings like #modid:item_group are shown without any localization.
  • For now, I don't see any way to localize this in an organized way, except manually, which I don't want to do because of the incredibly huge number of such tags.
  • This problem didn't disappear when localization of all currently available common tags (#c:...) was added, because many mods use #forge:... tags or their own local tags.
• The starter kit isn't automatically given to new players joining the LAN world.
  • Use /starterkit give <player> default until the mod author resolves this issue.
• The Fog mod won't be readded, as support for 1.20.1 has been discontinued, so it will no longer have support for Distant Horizons.

📋 Long-term plans

• Quark may be added in the future.

Oops, it seems the default gun pack from [TaCZ] Timeless and Classics Zero was accidentally disabled during debugging. As a temporary fix, open the config file ...\Spooky Adventures 1.20.1\config\tacz-common.toml and in the [other] section set DefaultPackDebug field to false, then restart the game.

A Purgatory update (now 45 mods less)

➖ Removed:

• Abridged — Too insignificant. (Further, the absence of a explanation will mean the same thing)
• Air Hop (experiment failed)
• Anvil Restoration — Easy Anvils has such functionality.
• Axes Are Weapons
• Boat Item View
• Collision Fix — The original bug was fixed back in 1.19.3 Pre-release 3.
• Configurable Despawn Timer — Not really needed, since there is a graves mod.
• Crying Portals
• Custom LAN (replaced, experimentally)
• Cut Through — Not needed due to the presence of Better Combat.
• Easy Elytra Takeoff
• End Portal Recipe — It was a mistake.
• Enhanced Snowmen
• ForgeSkyboxes
• Forgotten Graves ⚠ (replaced) — The problem with FPS drops when looking at your own grave or if there is another player's grave in the field of view won't be solved either by the developer or by Sinytra Connector. (Please note that all the graves from this mod will disappear when updating!)
• Furnace Recycle — Moved to a custom data pack.
• Grind Enchantments — It was a mistake.
• Just Enough Professions (JEP) — The professions are displayed as untranslatable technical lines. The display of the villager model is completely broken with Fresh Animations.
• Keep Head Names
• Lava Clear View — Alex's Mobs has such functionality.
• More Zombie Villagers
• Naturally Charged Creepers — It was a mistake.
• Polytone
• Smaller Nether Portals
• Villager Leads — Not needed due to the presence of Smart Villagers Follow Emeralds.
• Whispering Spirits
• World Preview — It was a mistake.
• YUNG's Bridges
• Zombie Horse Spawn — Zombie riders are now exclusive to Friends & Foes and The Hordes.
• Zombie Villagers From Spawner
• All [PurpurPack] — Moved to a custom data pack.

➕ Added:

• Deeper and Darker Delight
• GraveStone Mod (replacement) — A less functional, but more stable graves mod. ⚠ Now only a vanilla amount of experience is saved in the grave, i.e. 7 levels.
• LAN World Plug-n-Play (mcwifipnp, experimentally) (replacement) — Replacement of Custom LAN with almost the same functionality.

🔁 Updated:

• Deleted empty language files from Icons resource pack.
• Once again, the render distance Distant Horizons has been reduced by default to 32 chunks, and the quality to medium. (Huh, config?)
• Tweaked the spawn rate of some mobs again.

⚠ Notes and known issues:

• The Oculus update is still pending for compatibility with Distant Horizons v2.2. (Although, it's unlikely to happen at least in the near future, since the Oculus' author hasn't been active on GitHub since early April 2024)
• The starter kit isn't automatically given to new players joining the LAN world.
• The string +45% protection against infection is added to a huge variety of game tooltips. (Won't be fixed, as the The Hordes mod dev has already switched to support NeoForge 1.21+)

The Time update

➖ Removed:

• Fog (temporarily) — It's useless for now, as it doesn't work with Distant Horizons.
• Oxidized — Causes a crash due to internal refactoring of Friends & Foes (Forge/NeoForge). It won't be fixed, since this is a Fabric mod, and the authors of Sinytra Connector, unfortunately, are no longer fixing incompatibilities of mods on 1.20.1 (goodbye simple and convenient Copper Pulsar, as well as the Copper Rails).

➕ Added:

• Air Hop (experimentally)
• CERBON's Better Beacons
• Just Enough Beacons Reforged
• Simple Magnets (experimentally) — Provides an alternative to the copper pulsar from the Oxidized mod.
• Simple Voice Chat (experimentally) — Requires opening port 24454 via the UDP protocol in your Wi-Fi router settings to work on a dedicated server.

🔁 Updated:

• The duration of the day and night is now 30 minutes each, instead of 20 and 40 minutes respectively.
• Fixed the default config Serene Seasons so that the seasons change according to the increased length of the day.
• Removed the names of mods (namespaces) from the Jade tooltips.
• Reduced the spawn rate of some mobs that appear too often to have time to breathe.

⚠ Notes and known issues:

• Some creative tabs may disappear randomly during the entire gaming session, which leads to the disappearance of all related items in the EMI menu, as well as related recipes.
• Some mobs animations may occasionally glitch. A Geckolib issue, hardly anything can be done.
• The Oculus update is still pending for compatibility with Distant Horizons v2.2. (Although, it's unlikely to happen at least in the near future, since the Oculus' author hasn't been active on GitHub since early April 2024)
• The starter kit isn't automatically given to new players joining the LAN world.
• The string +45% protection against infection is added to a huge variety of game tooltips. (Won't be fixed, as the The Hordes mod dev has already switched to support NeoForge 1.21+)
• When looking at a naturally created player's grave, a huge FPS drop occurs. All I can recommend for now is right-clicking on the grave instead of breaking it.

An update of tweaks and the 3rd attempt to improve performance

➖ Removed:

• Alex's Mobs Interaction (temporarily) — Update pending.
• Beautiful Enchanted Books (replaced)
• Connectored C2ME — Causes random crashes with multiple mods at once. The performance of Distant Horizons's LOD generation may change for the better or for the worse.
• Diagonal Fences, Diagonal Walls и Diagonal Windows — These mods (or the PuzzlesLib they depend on) have a serious problem with FerriteCore, which, although doesn't directly cause a crash, but leads to incredibly massive logspam instead. At the same time, chunks with these diagonal blocks can't be loaded in any way.
• EMI Enchants (replaced)
• Explosive Enhancement (replaced)
• MoreChatHistory Reforged (replaced)

➕ Added:

• Alex's Delight
• [TaCZ] Timeless and Classics Zero — Crafting a Gun Smith Workbench requires a Workbench from MrCrayfish's Gun Mod. The mod's balance will probably be tweaked later. To switch the first-person view, use the F6 key.
• Alex's Caves Delight
• Beautiful Enchanted Books [MOD EDITION] — Now there should be no problems with Forge CIT.
• Born in Configuration — For balance tweaks of mobs from Born in Chaos.
• EMI Enchanting
• Explosive Enhancement (Forge)
• Just Enough Breeding (JEBr)
• Just Enough Professions (JEP)
• Longer Chat History
• Tool Trims
• Visuality: Reforged

🔁 Updated:

• Custom data pack: fixed legacy bug with old advancements.
• Force-updated the The Hordes config, as it broke in one of the updates.
• Reassigned some default key binds to minimize conflicts.
• Reduced spawn chances and maximum heights of Ore Creepers, as well as reduced their explosion radii.
• Rolled back Danger Close to the penultimate version, which doesn't crash when interacting with The Hordes. Compatibility with Soul Fire'd will be lost. However, I think it's better this way.

⚠ Notes and known issues:

• Some creative tabs may disappear randomly during the entire gaming session, which leads to the disappearance of all related items in the EMI menu, as well as related recipes.
• Some mobs animations may occasionally glitch. A Geckolib issue, hardly anything can be done.
• The Oculus update is still pending for compatibility with Distant Horizons v2.2. (Although, it's unlikely to happen at least in the near future, since the Oculus' author hasn't been active on GitHub since early April 2024)
• The starter kit isn't automatically given to new players joining the LAN world.
• The string +45% protection against infection is added to a huge variety of game tooltips. (Won't be fixed, as the The Hordes mod dev has already switched to support NeoForge 1.21+)
• When looking at a naturally created player's grave, a huge FPS drop occurs. All I can recommend for now is right-clicking on the grave instead of breaking it.

A Farewell to Summer update, as well as a 2nd attempt to improve performance

➖ Removed:

• Bad Mobs (replaced)
• Beautified Chat [Client] and Beautified Chat [Server] — Break consistency.
• Better Command Block UI — It mainly served for testing in creative mode.
• Cave Dust — Doesn't work correctly in some biomes.
• CleanView — No longer needed.
• Disenchantment Edit Table (replaced) — No more OP combinations of enchantments. Lapis lazuli becomes useless again.
• Don't Clear Chat History — Same reason as BCBUI.
• NBT Autocomplete — Same reason as BCBUI.
• Presence Footsteps — Now overlaps with Sounds mod and is now redundant.
• SmoothMenu Refabricated — Too insignificant, also has many incompatibility warnings.
• TNT Breaks Bedrock — I have no idea when or how it got here or why it stayed here for so long.

➕ Added:

• Connectored C2ME ⚠ (experimentally)
• Crabber's Delight
• Default Dark Mode: Expansion
• Dis-Enchanting Table — Not such an OP replacement for Disenchantment Edit Table.
• Distant Horizons (readded) — Hooray! It's no longer the reason for the drop in performance. Oculus needs to be updated for compatibility with Distant Horizons v2.2.0-a. So far, the penultimate v2.1.2-a is being used.
• Faster Random
• Flow (readded)
• Ore Creeper — The OP experiment.
• Piglin Proliferation
• Reputation Viewer
• Whispering Spirits
• You Shall Not Spawn! — A more convenient replacement for Bad Mobs.
• A custom data pack in config/paxi with extra tags that integrates some structures into biomes and dimensions from Saturated. Also, supports The Bracken Pack, not included in this modpack.

🔁 Updated:

• Custom resource pack: updated incorrect descriptions of some enchantments and effects; added missing effect descriptions (many of them are replaced with empty lines or obfuscated text due to lack of explanations from the mod or for reasons of secrecy); added new mob icons.
• Disabled colored lighting and aligned cloud height in all Complementary shaders presets.
• Outdated mods (Hopefully, fixed huge TPS drops in the Nether and in both dimensions from Saturated).
• Re-enabled the snow covering of non-solid blocks from the Snow! Real Magic! ⛄.

⚠ Notes and known issues:

• Forge CIT must have been partially broken with one of the Sinytra Connector updates. I have yet to figure out the reason.
• Some creative tabs may disappear randomly during the entire gaming session, which leads to the disappearance of all items from them in the EMI menu, as well as related recipes.
• Some mobs animations may occasionally glitch. A Geckolib issue, hardly anything can be done.
• The starter kit isn't automatically given to new players joining the LAN world.
• The string +45% protection against infection is added to a huge variety of game tooltips.
• When looking at a naturally created player's grave, a huge FPS drop occurs. All I can recommend is right-clicking on the grave instead of breaking it.

An update in an attempt to improve performance

➖ Removed:

• ❗ Distant Horizons — Yes, it's sad. So far, this is the main candidate when it comes to reducing perfomance.
• Sawblade Recipes from config/paxi/datapacks folder — It's outdated and does not support mods, which creates a distortion in recipes.
• A lot of unused configs (I'm sure there are still some left).

🚫 Temporarily removed:

• Flow — The latest mod, not yet updated after M.R.U v1.0.0, on which it depends. Now it's just crashing the game.

➕ Added:

• Autochef's Delight
• Enhanced Snowman

🔁 Updated:

• Custom resource pack: fixed several mob icons.
• Some outdated mods.

⚠ Notes and known issues:

• Entity View Distance isn't configured yet, so the mobs see no changes at all.
• Forge CIT must have been broken with one of the Sinytra Connector updates. I have yet to figure out the reason.
• Some mobs animations may occasionally glitch. A Geckolib issue, hardly anything can be done.
• The starter kit is not automatically given to new players joining the LAN world.

A Comeback update

There still may be some changes that I don't remember, since 2 months have passed.

➖ Removed:

• Bad Horse Fix — Too insignificant effect.
• Bedrock Plus — Redundancy.
• Better Beacon Placement and Better Conduit Placement — Redundancy.
• Blur (replaced)
• Bobby Reforged — I was so dumb that I forgot to remove it when I added Acedium first and then Distant Horizons... Although, before everything worked fine somehow, if I left it now, pressing the Video Settings... button would always lead to a crash. I guess it's some sort of incompatability with current latest Embeddium version.
• Chunks fade in — Useless and buggy in the presence of Distant Horizons.
• e4mc (replaced)
• Ender Dragon Fight Remastered (replaced)
• Even Better Enchants (replaced)
• Farsighted Mobs (replaced)
• Fog Looks Modern Now (replaced)
• Head in the Clouds — It's difficult to coordinate with different shader settings, and its effect is too insignificant.
• Horror Elements Mod — It caused random crashes when placing some of its blocks. Again, inexplicably.
• Hourglass (replaced)
• Iris/Oculus & GeckoLib Compat — It doesn't seem necessary anymore.
• The Box Of Horrors — It caused a critical error when the player tried to join the world, which led to a instant kick. Hurtful.
• Custom panorama resource pack — It doesn't reflect the concept of this modpack. Let the TMFTF's panorama take its place for now.

➕ Added:

• [ESF] Entity Sound Features
• Beautiful Enchanted Books — A more mod-compatible resource pack instead of Even Better Enchants. Not enabled by default¹.
• Bliss Shaders — Beta version with Distant Horizons support from their GitHub.
• Client Tweaks
• Crate Delight
• Diagonal Fences, Diagonal Walls and Diagonal Windows — Finally their textures don't become a stone block.
• Entity View Distance — An alternative to Farsighted Mobs. Does nothing for now².
• Farmer's Respite
• Flow — It contains the functionality of Blur.
• Fog — A successor of Fog Looks Modern Now.
• Hang Glider
• Make Bubbles Pop
• Nether Chested
• OpticManager — A simpler alternative to Hourglass, without the mechanics of accelerated night time. Now the mods Serene Seasons and The Hordes don't break (hopefully).
• Pigsteel
• Postmortal Particles
• Reactive Music
• Simple Discord RPC — Now Discord is able to detect the Forge version of Minecraft with the modpack name in the widget.
• SmoothMenu Refabricated
• Soul Fire'd
• Tiny Item Animations
• Torch Hit
• True Ending: Ender Dragon Overhaul — Replacement for the Ender Dragon Fight Remastered mod³. Maybe it will be better.
• Underground Villages
• Update Edition resource pack.
• Useful Mobs
• Variants & Ventures
• Worldhost — An alternative to e4mc, which allows to connect directly without a huge 300+ ping.
• Yeehaw Towns!
• Description of the modpack in Russian.

🔁 Updated:

• A lot of outdated mods.
• Adjusted configs and the default shader presets.
• Changed the modpack name to Spooky Adventures.
• Custom data pack: removed all "reverse" smithing recipes of tools; added and reworked some recipes; added several new advancements; fixed some old ones.
• Custom resource pack: added simple World Host instruction to Open to LAN button, added several new mob icons.
• Partially reworked the starter kit; reduced the number of some items.

⚠ Notes and known issues:

• ¹ Forge CIT must have been broken with one of the Sinytra Connector updates. I have yet to figure out the reason.
• ² In fact, Entity View Distance isn't configured yet, so the mobs see no changes at all.
• ³ I hope this doesn't break existing worlds where Ender Dragon has already been defeated.
• Some mobs animations may occasionally glitch. A Geckolib issue, hardly anything can be done.
• The starter kit is not automatically given to new players joining the LAN world.

Minor update

🔁 Updated:

• Outdated mods.

⚠ Known issues:

• ❗ A critical error kicking another player joining the world.

Minor update

🔁 Updated:

• Many outdated mods.
• More shaders for Distant Horizons support (still waiting for Bliss update).
• Recolored some data packs and resource packs.
• Reworked some translations.

⚠ Known issues:

• The game may crash randomly when disabling Distant Horizons' LODs rendering in-game.

Another big enough update.

➖ Removed:

• Better Third Person (replaced)
• Some unused files.

➕ Added:

• Alex's Mobs Interaction
• Storage Delight
• More Delight
• Responsive Shields — Removes the 5 tick delay when blocking.
• Gigeresque — Hopefully that there will be no random crashes.
• ⚠ Distant Horizons — Lowest render distance of 32 chunks by default with medium quality and low CPU usage.

ℹ Note: currently only Complementary Shaders are supported, waiting for official releases from other shaders. There may be a major performance decrease when using shaders.

🔁 Updated:

• Most of the Physics Mod options are now disabled by default.
• Adjusted some default shader presets.
• Changed mob spawn options in Bad Mobs configs because some of them were reset after updating mods.
• Colored the names of some resource packs and shaders.
• Minor fixes for advancements and their translations.
• Minor config tweaks.

⚠ Known issues:

• The game may crash randomly when disabling Distant Horizons' LODs rendering in-game.
• Some mobs animations may occasionally glitch.

➖ Removed:

• Let Me Despawn (temporarily) — It has critical incompatibility with Neruina - Ticking Entity Fixer, waiting for a fix from LMD.
• Battle Towers — Unnecessary.
• VillagerLeads — Unnccessary.
• Unused config files.

➕ Added:

• Grind Enchantments
• Cut Throught — Returned as not all melee weapons use Better Combat mechanics.
• Custom Main Menu Panorama (in config/paxi/resourcepacks folder)

🔁 Updated:

• Added a few more custom advancements for killing various mobs.
• Updated The Man From The Fog — The threat level is now much… much higher. Increased min and max chase duration by 50%.
• Minor config tweaks.

⚠ Known issues:

• Some custom advancements can be triggered by under insufficient circumstances (It seems that there are no more of them left).
• Some mobs animations may occasionally glitch (It really hasn't happened for quite a while).

➖ Removed:

• Nether's Delight (replaced)

➕ Added:

• My Nether's Delight — a reimagining of original Nether's Delight
• Miner's Delight
• Battle Towers — the most close version to a legacy mod
• Neruina - Ticking Entity Fixer — brought back and now works with the latest version of Forge
• VillagerLeads — it may be redundant with the presence of the Smart Villagers Follow Emeralds mod
• World Preview — a useful tool similar to the one available, for example, in 7DTD

🔁 Updated:

• slightly reduced the maximum size of zombie hordes and expanded the list of mobs infected by zombies (mainly illagers), added new textures for the illagers from Illager Invasion, the Iceologer from Friends&Foes and Hunter from Hunter's Return. Added phantoms to infection_entities.
• fixed the defaultconfigs of Hourglass and Serene Seasons — the number of days of the current season is now counted correctly and corresponds to the total number of days, according to the rule: 1 equals 10 days. These configs can be copied to serverconfig of a world folder.
• Tweaked some perfomance-related setting, so it's beta again.
• Outdated mods and translations.
• Nerfed some guns and reverted some ammo types.

⚠ Known issues:

• Lag spikes may occur from time to time. This may be due to some conflicts Embeddium with Sound Physics Remastered and Entity Culling. The first one will be fixed soon. The second one is questionable, but I'm afraid that the built-in Embeddium's useEntityCulling won't be able to fully cope with its task.
• Some custom advancements can be triggered by under insufficient circumstances — next time, the relevant advancements will be deleted if I can't fix them.
• Some mobs animations may occasionally glitch (it's especially common with Born in Chaos mobs) — I've only had this error once lately with some animations of running with a gun in hands.

➖ Removed:

• Dimensional Threads Reforked — the perfomance seems to be lower than without that mod

➕ Added:

• The Knocker — rare spawn rate

🔁 Updated:

• rebalanced all guns — mostly buffed
• reduced ore veins size again in Larger Ore Veins data pack
• outdated mods and translations

⚠ Known issues:

• some custom advancements can be triggered by under insufficient circumstances
• some mobs animations may occasionally glitch (it's especially common with Born in Chaos mobs)

➖ Removed:

• Canary — replaced

➕ Added:

• Bad Horse Fix
• Cave Dust
• Cave Spider Spawn
• Cull Less Leaves

• LambDynamicLights — to replace RyoamicLights
• NetherPortalFix — possible portal linking fix
• qraftyfied — a new structures pack with Terralith tags data pack in Paxi folder

• halved the size of all ore veins in Larger Ore Veins data pack (another step towards balance)
