Dying Sol - 1.0

The full release for Dying Sol! Newly configured mods, new original content, and balancing changes! A full changelog can be found below.

New Features:

• Tectonic added for bigger underground caves and lava rivers.

• Effectual added for more biome-specific sounds and particles, as well as caving/liquid particles and sounds!

• TNTimer introduced and configured to keep track of TNT fuses.

• Essential introduced to enable ease of multiplayer! This will be changed to E4MC in the future when it becomes available for 1.21.7, as I do not like the microtransactions and invasive menu features Essential introduces.

• The 3D Models resource pack was added for extra world detail, and item depth.

• The Mace 3D resource pack was added because lets face it, the Mace should be 3D.

• The RAY's 3D Ladders and RAY's 3D Rails resource packs were added to introduce further item depth.

• A custom book now spawns when you first load into a world, titled "The Guide to Solar Survival". It contains valuable information on how a player should go about surviving the Solar Apocalypse, as well as what days trigger the next Solar Phase, and the details of each phase.

• 18 new original splash texts for the title screen! Can you find them all?

Balancing:

• The Solar Phases have been balanced out, with the Sun's fury intensifying every 7 days / one week! This is a much tighter deadline, putting more pressure and turning Dying Sol into the proper challenge it was made to be.

• The Sun now gets up to 14x bigger by the final phase (up from 8x) meaning the sky is far more obscured by an eye-stinging bright yellow and red.

• Blocks now burst into flames as opposed to just despawning, adding an additional layer of difficulty to surface travel in the early game.

I hope you have a long and enjoyable experience within Dying Sol! More updates, patches, and content may be introduced with time. Thank you for your continued support. :)
