The Spell Tower is a stationary pet capable of throwing potions. These can either provide helpful potion effects or defend a base by damaging hostile mobs and other players.

• Health: 10
• Charge: 16s

Guardian

The Guardian is defined by its extreme destructive power, making it pretty strong but also highly dangerous. Even to its own user.

• Health: 34
• Attack Damage: 6
• Laser Range: 24 blocks
• Laser Damage: 18
• Laser Splash Damage: 8
• Laser Explosion Power: 4xTNT

Medoh

Items

This update also introduces several new items:

Corrupted Armor

• Durability: +4% (compared to Celestial)
• Toughness: +10% (compared to Celestial)
• Knockback Resistance: +8% (compared to Celestial)

Void Arrow

The Void Arrow is a new type of arrow with a unique ability. Upon hitting its target, the entity is defeated instantly, regardless of its health or armor. However, no experience or loot will be dropped.

QoL

• The Corruption theme has been removed as the main menu background music.

Crafting recipes

The March update, which releases in April due to a delay, introduces several new features. These include a new pet, multiple Crystal Relicts, and the addition of spears.

26.1 support

This version and all future releases are now available for version 26.1. Previous versions are no longer supported.

Due to a complex update process, some features are currently unavailable, including the Corruption intro screen and the credits screen. These will be reintroduced in a future update.

Spears

Spears are now available in Chroma: Tools & Utilities. This includes the Chromatic, Celestial, and Corrupted Spear.

• Chromatic Spear: +1 Attack Damage (compared to Netherite)
• Celestial Spear: +2 Attack Damage (compared to Netherite)
• Corrupted Spear: +3 Attack Damage (compared to Netherite)

Entities

A new pet has been introduced, featuring the ability to transform enemies.

Huggy

Huggy is the newest companion at the player’s side. With its terrifying scream, it can transform targets within an 8 block radius into 2 to 4 “Critters”. These small creatures aggressively attack everything around them.

• Health: 30
• Attack Damage: 4
• Critter Count: 2-4
• Scream Radius: 8 blocks
• Scream Cooldown: 8 seconds

Critter

• Health: 1
• Attack Damage: 2

Items

This update introduces two new Crystal Relicts.

Lucky Pouch

The Lucky Pouch, a Verdant Relict, grants the player a small selection of random items every three minutes. The item pool is strictly limited and filtered, ensuring that no overpowered or creative-only items can be obtained.

Totototem

The Totototem, a Crimson Relict, is an enhanced version of the Totem of Undying. After being used, it has the ability to recharge itself over time, although this process takes a considerable duration.

Crafting recipes

Several additional crafting recipes have also been added.

Future

Future updates will no longer be available for versions prior to 26.1. However, regular updates with new content will continue to be released for the newer versions.

Until then, enjoy Chroma.

The February update introduces several major additions, including a comprehensive rework of the pet system, the Corrupted CPU, a new Crystal Relict, and more. The mod also parts ways with a previously required helper dependency, which is no longer needed.

Geckolib

Since the major Pet Update in version 2.5.0, the additional mod Geckolib has been required to render pet models and animations. This is no longer the case. With significant effort, all existing pets have now been converted to vanilla models.

Following the update to version 1.21.11, the previous animation system no longer functioned as intended and resulted in multiple visual issues. As a result, the entire system has been rebuilt using vanilla entities. All future pets will also be implemented using this approach.

Ideally, players should not notice this transition at all, as it affects only the technical foundation. A return to Geckolib is currently not planned.

Entities

A new pet featuring two unique mechanics has been introduced. In addition, all existing pets have been revisited, with several receiving updated models, textures, or animations.

Medoh

Medoh is the first flying pet, allowing it to accompany the player in addition to an already active ground pet. It grants the Jump Boost effect to nearby players, significantly increasing their jump height. By default, it does not engage enemies and only attacks under specific conditions.

• Health: 20
• Effect: Jump Boost II
• Beam Range: 8
• Beam Damage: 42

Eagle Artillery

The Eagle Artillery has received a fundamental overhaul, featuring a new model, updated textures, and improved animations.

Zappie

Zappie has also received a new texture along with improved animations.

Floaty

Floaty has also been updated, now featuring a new model and texture.

Corrupted Boss

The Corrupted Boss is the first boss introduced in Chroma: Tools & Utilities. As the guardian of the Corrupted class, it must be defeated before the player can fully progress and craft the new tools.

It is summoned by constructing a specific pattern, similar to an Iron Golem structure. However, Obsidian is used instead of iron blocks, and a Heavy Core replaces the carved pumpkin.

The boss features four distinct phases, each differing significantly in behavior.

In Phase I, it engages in close combat and deals heavy melee damage. In Phase II, it shifts to ranged attacks and actively distances itself from the player. In Phase III, it marks three areas on the ground. The player must step into these zones to break the boss’s shield, allowing it to be damaged again. In Phase IV, it ascends into the air and unleashes a barrage of fireballs, causing widespread destruction in the surrounding area.

Upon defeat, the boss drops a Music Disc containing the soundtrack that plays during the battle, as well as the Corrupted Upgrade Template.

Items

This update also introduces a new Crystal Relict.

Magnet Module

The Magnet Module allows blocks to be moved freely. By holding right click, a targeted block can be repositioned using the mouse. Once released, the block falls to the ground and is placed automatically if possible. If the player sneaks while the block is still in the air, it will be placed instantly at its current position.

Crafting recipes

Several additional crafting recipes have also been added.

Tech

• The Leap Feather is now functioning properly again.
• Leap Feather durability (600 -> 256 | -55,8%)
• Corruption intro screen moved to Credits and Attributions section.
• The Corruption soundtrack now plays in the main menu.

Future

This update introduces several new features to the mod. Further updates are planned, bringing additional content and refinements. While the exact direction of upcoming features has not yet been finalized, initial concepts are already in development.

The next update may release slightly earlier or later than usual. Until then, enjoy exploring Chroma.
