Spectrum 1.8.2 - Aria for Painters

Item Name Recoloring

You can now use Pigment in the Bedrock Anvil to color an item's name. Props to Athebyne!

Revamped Fishing / Archaeology Loot

You could always fish in all of Spectrum's fluids, but the loot was always okayish. Fishing loot got a big overhaul thanks to Athebyne! Archaeology loot also got a tad more interesting.
