Livestock Overhaul update

Notes and WARNING!:

• As usual, please always first backup your world before doing a version upgrade!
• This update changes a lot of animal behaviour! Untamed wolves will start killing your livestock, so be aware of that before updating.
• Also removed the turrets - you can replace them with sentries from SecurityCraft.
• Marbled's Arsenal now only has the armors. Although they are re-added in Marbled's Melees, the existing weapons, unfortunately, will disappear.
• MapFrontiers should now finally also work globally on servers with their latest version.
• Vein mining mod has been changed. You can change its mode by scrolling while you hold down the vein mine key.

Shaders:

Comments/Thoughts:

• The Jobs+ Remastered mod kept crashing clients when changing abilities on dedicated servers. Although I liked the mod, I don't enjoy having a frequent crashing experience and the Improvable Skills mod seems to fill the space better by also having a link to the abilities in the inventory.
• Starting to add a Beastiary quests section, which tries to teach which creatures can be tamed, how to tame them and what can be done with them.

Config:

• Changed default keybind for Tom's Storage Terminal to Keypad 8
• In Shader settings, changed block reflection to off (only having it on sun and moon made water change color weirdly sometimes.)

Resource Packs:

• Updated Drodi's Slimes

Quests:

• Added Vic's Point Blank quests
• Updated/Added Mekanism quests up until Tier 2
• Minor other changes

Comments/Thoughts:

• The replacement of Just Enough Guns for Vic's Point Blank was due to multiple reasons. Vic's just feels more simple and straight forward with its crafting ingredients and more customisations with the attachments. But primarily, it has impact grenades and even a rocket launcher (which I missed, since removal of Missile Mahem). Though it had a lot of cool stuff, I just found myself using bows more than the JEG guns, because bows were just stronger and easier to get to.
• Since removing the Rotted mod, the game hasn't felt that challenging anymore. I hope the adding of Farsighted Mobs can help to slightly make the difficulty more enjoyable (more action) now, without making mobs themselves much harder.
• The Hook mod, as a grappling hook, is far simpler in its usage and slot requirements, hence replacing Advanced Hook Launchers with it.
• Also, my friend lost (dropped) his special axe in the Nether by accidentally pressing "q", so I think it's about time I added some protection against that.

Config:

• In Shader settings, disabled Bloom and set block reflection to sun and moon only.

Comments/Thoughts:

• EMI was starting to cause VERY slow opening times on the first time someone opens their inventory - even crashing the game sometimes. Since JEI is already installed as well, it was time for me to let go of EMI, even though I prefer it more than JEI.
• Also kept getting crashes that reset all keybinds. I think this was related to ImmediatelyFast's latest update, not actually being intended for 1.20.1, but for 1.21. After reverting that. Things were better.
• The above also made me re-add Default Options, because with that you can "Reset All" your keybinds to the modpack defaults. (Not reliable on 1.20.1 for preserving your own options though, so only added for the Reset All usefulness.)
• Block placements/removals are now way faster with Pro Placer added, but I still kept the bridging mod for wrap-around block placements, because Pro Placer doesn't support placing things below blocks.
• I thought the villages from Luki's Grand Capitals were epic… yet the Integrated Villages mod topped even that!
