Changes

• Evolution stone tools and armor have updated effects. Tools give a temporary effect, and armor gives a permanent effect while the full matching set is worn.

  • Firestone grants Fire Resistance
  • Waterstone grants Water Breathing
  • Leafstone grants Slow Falling
  • Thunderstone grants Speed
  • Sunstone grants Jump Boost
  • Moonstone grants Night Vision
  • Dawnstone grants Haste
  • Duskstone grants Invisibility

• Evolution stone armor grants a small spawn boost to any species that evolves with that stone. Each piece grants a boost relative to the amount of stone required to craft, meaning you can mix and match if searching for multiple species. A full set grants the same boost as a strong lure.

  • Effects, duration, and spawn boost are all configurable in items.yml
