Features

Content

• Hallnox Fungus / Blockset

  • An inert derivative of Warped & Crimson Fungus that can thrive in any environment, from the deepest depths of the ocean to the farthest reaches of space.
  • While it does not directly retain the special properties of its predecessors, some form of magic seems to linger within.
  • Hallnox Woodset
    • Due to being a derivative of Nether Fungus, the Hallnox Woodset does not have a boat. However, it is fireproof.
  • Hallnox Pod
    • The stylish sapling-ish-thing of Hallnox Fungus. It's an instance of SaplingBlock, so that kinda counts.
    • Currently obtainable from Sniffers, although that might change in the future. Wink wink.
    • Can grow in all directions. Upright, sideways, and downright have different tree shapes.
    • Growth is disabled automatically when attached to Hallnox Wart, Hyphae, or Stems. Can also be disabled manually via Shears.
    • Can be used on any quality of Steel Casing to create a Nether Reactor Core.
  • Hallnox Bulb
    • Stylish fusion of Hallnox Pods, Glass, and Steel. (Can be crafted with any plate, though, because yeah)
    • A light fixture sure to wow any houseguests.
    • Automatically connects to other Bulbs when placing. You'll figure out how it works.
    • Connections can be toggled with the Steel Wrench.

• Grapple Winch & Steel Grapple Claw

  • Grapple Winch
    • The latest & greatest pseudolegendary item offered by KLAXON.
    • Uses Steel Grapple Claws as Ammo
  • Steel Grapple Claw
    • Ammunition for the Grapple Winch, although it can exist while disconnected.
    • Instantly destroys any valid blocks in its path. By default, this includes Cleaver and Hammer-Instabreakable blocks among other things.
    • Can stack to 16.
  • Can veinmine hammer-instabreakable blocks on its return journey
    • This feature is enhanced by data-driven Veinmine Groups - an example of which includes the ability to veinmine all blocks in the #c:glass tag.
  • Can drag items along with it
  • Anchored Grapple Claws can be yanked out of the ground if wielder is wearing Heavy Equipment.
  • Can hook and pull Entities
  • Has been finetuned and polished for like 6 months.
  • Taught me several new things about modding, networking and rendering.
  • Try this thing out, it's epic.

• Nether Reactor Core (and the Crude Variant)

  • Detonating an explosive that produces a vanilla explosion within either of these blocks will trigger a Nether Reaction Explosion.
  • The main difference between the two Nether Reactor Cores is that the Steel one leaves the casing behind after activation, while the Crude one is destroyed.
    • This makes the proper Nether Reactor Core easier to automate, as replacement Hallnox Pods can be applied via Dispenser.

• Steel Casing

  • Obligatory tech mod casing block
  • Currently only used to make Nether Reactor Cores, Steel Chestplates, and Grapple Winches, but will be of grater use in the future.

• Wires & Wire Spool Blocks

  • Prepping for adding machines. It's coming soon, trust me haha.
  • Right now the Steel Wire Spool is used to make the Grapple Winch.
  • Wire Spool Blocks are crafted with Fences, because I'm evil.
  • There's also full oxidation stages for the Copper Wire Spools, which look pretty cool.

• Crested Steel Helmet

  • A special variant of the Steel Helmet
  • Has a dyeable cosmetic crest
  • Obtainable in a special way - one hint is that it's a reference to a Minecraft server :)

• Armor Trims

  • Steel is now usable as an Armor Trim Material.

Recipe Types

• Nether Reaction

  • Hijacks an explosion that goes off within a Nether Reactor Core, then turns all nearby valid blocks into their Nether counterparts.
  • Put in as a progression failsafe against Nether biome mods - Warped & Crimson Fungi will be vital to progression in the future.

• World Item Application

  • TOTALLY not ripping off Create. Definitely not.
  • Allows you to use an item on a block to transform it into another block. 100% original.
  • Is currently only used to make Nether Reactor Cores.
  • Has a unique feature in that all KLAXON Manual Item Application recipes can be performed by Dispensers.

GameRules

• klaxon.dispensersPerformWorldItemApplicationRecipes

  • Allows server admins and pack devs to decide if they want to have Dispensers be able to perform Manual Item Interaction recipes or not.

Advancements

• Advancement Page renamed from "KLAXON - Prelude" to "KLAXON - Initialization". Mainly because I felt that was ripping off ULTRAKILL a bit too much.
  • This will wipe any advancements you may have from before this update. Won't happen again, as internally it's now called "klaxon:stage_one/whatever", but sorry about that.

• Uses 96 Batteries

  • Obtain a Hallnox Pod.

• THE NETHER.

  • Activate a Nether Reactor Core by detonating an exposion within the block.

• Wire So Shearious

  • Craft Metal Wire by using Steel Cable Shears on a Metal Plate

• Boring Mining Tool

  • Obtain the Grapple Winch

• Spidey

  • Intentionally disconnect a Grapple Cable while moving. This is an expensive way to move around, but it's cool so that makes up for it.

• Smash And Grab

  • Veinmine Glowstone by retracting an attached Grapple Claw with the Grapple Winch

• Dragonhearted

  • Grapple onto an Ender Dragon.
  • I added specialized compat for this - you know you're suffering from feature creep when you're adding special handling for ender dragons and item frames in the same class.

Splashes

• Splashes are now resource-driven instead of hardcoded. So you can remove them if you don't like them.

• OH MY BLOCKS!

  • Sourced from a Minecraft manga book that my friends and I picked up. Thought it was funny enough to add.

• THIS IS MY CRAFT!

  • Same as above. :)

• Diabolical!

  • Ref to The Boys

• Phenomenal

  • Ref to Dispatch

• [TITLE CARD]

  • Ref to [TITLE CARD]

Removals

• Removed Innate Enchantments

  • They were hard to maintain, brittle, and not that fun.
  • To compensate, the durability of all Steel Equipment has been greatly increased.

• Removed Dual Wielding

  • Needless, not-useful complexity that I didn't want to maintain

• Removed Item Cooling

  • It was an unfun and intrusive mechanic that provided too little of a challenge to be interesting - alongside being way too wack to maintain.

• Removed Molten Rubber

  • Again, kinda unfun. This streamlines gameplay a bit

• Removed Vanilla Recipe Overwriting

  • Blast Furni and Flint & Steel no longer require Steel / Crude Steel to craft.
  • I did a test playthrough and this ticked me off
  • Also not my place to be overwriting this kinda stuff haha. That's up to packdevs.

Compat

Jade

• Added Jade tooltip for Hallnox Pod growth status. Indicates whether growth is inhibited by supporting block or has been disabled with Shears.
• Steel Cleaver is now registered under the Axe category - no longer will the icon show up when highlighting any axe-mineable block.
• Steel Grapple Claws now have an icon when looked at with Jade

EMI

• Tool Usage recipes are now dynamically added as new categories - you can datapack some in if you like!
• Added compat for Nether Reaction recipes
• Added compat for Manual Item Application Recipes
