Matcha Flavoured

What is an experimental Update?

• Instead of releasing updates and scrambling to hotfix them, Im going to do pre-releases, for people who don't mind encountering bugs, and want to help polish things up
• This is similar to that, but theres one major thing I want to "experiment" on--the death system. This feature, depending on feedback, may not end up in the final 1.13 update
• Ignore "With Songs"! I forgot to delete that

I NEED FEEDBACK ON

• I've heard the spawn mechanics (Safe surface / Only Undead Surface) were causing significant performance issues for some people. I've tried to modify this system to make sure that mobs are not only despawned but ENSURE they die. Please let me know if this has helped!
• The New Death System ESPECIALLY if you LIKE IT. People are more likley to submit feedback reports if they DON'T like something, so to help with sampling bias, if you do enjoy it, please let me know

Major Additions and Changes

• IF YOU LIVE IN AN ABBEY AND HAVE WARDING STONES IN IT, REMOVE THEM BEFORE UPDATING
• SMITHING NO LONGER REQUIRES BASE-METALS (See Tool & Enchantment Tweaks)
• Smithing Enchanted Equipment no longer removes currently existing enchants (Made by HapppySpud!)

• Hearts, Death, Currency and Advancements have been reworked
  • Hearts can now go below 10, and the amount is determined by the progress you've made (Easy mode is exempt from this)
  • Advancements now reward players with Hearts, Obol, or difficulty
  • So it may not be a good idea, as soon as you spawn in, to grab every diamond, iron, and silver you see, you may end up in a difficult you aren't ready for
  • Killing the dragon no longer changes the difficulty in normal, instaed it is determined by how much progress you have made
  • Advancemnts that give you rewards will be revoked from you on-update. (Except for fishing and Steal all prayers, becuase those are hard to get) That way, you can get the rewards
  • Obols no longer drop from undead mobs
  • The Weaponsmith (Grindstone) Villager now buys non-renewable resources (LMK if there are more, not copper or iron)
• Major Lang Support has come to the pack, but due to datapack limitations, this means the new items will not stack with the old ones (Things like Bread, Empanadas, etc)
  • The only work around I could do for this, is scanning the player inventory/using advancemnts to remove old items and add new ones.
  • I do not think a feature like this would be worth the time (so much time), or computational expense...MAYBE
  • There have been complaints about mod compatibility. Something like this may be the only solution, I want to look into this to see if It would be worth doing.
  • Please Mojang let Loot tables be usable in recipe and villager trade outputs (I beg you)

• Cooking Additions and Changes (See Below)
• Tool & Enchantment Tweaks (See Below)
• Ore & World Generation (See Below)
• Three new music discs by DeBlezyBestie
• Angler's Almanac (Made by Imtlx!)
• A new background track, "Abbey" by Vee Vaicekauskas
• Optimisations to Sleeping, Armour, Heart Containers, Item Particles, Mob Spawning and some other stuff I think (See Below, made by Hashiru!)

• Husks Tweaked
  • I've attempted to make the husks more visually distinct from zombies (👥)
  • Husk Jockeys (Husks on Camel Husks) have been removed, but camel husks still spawn at night as normal (👥)
  • Husk Speed increased a little bit
  • Husk spawn rates buffed, but max group count lowered (husks were too rare for my tastes, they should be a new interesting combat addition to caving, not something rare you see every now and then)
  • Husk Health decreased 25% in normal (40 -> 30)

• Blessing: Prayer of Midas (Craftable Looting) (👥)
• "Bonfire Lit" Advancement
• Github exists now (check modrinth desc)

• Mod compatibility
  • I'm testing a system that makes mod-given apples and sweet berries into matcha flavoured ones. I am concerned about performance issues with this.
  • I may wait to implement something like this until we get the slot source thing. Beucase that may make it much cheaper to detect and replace these sorts of things.
  • Also, non-matcha divine fragments get removed as well
• All assets and items are being MOVED (namespaces) from main/minecraft to matcha
  • This will break some items. I've only moved a few so far, im waiting for slot source to move all of them. But the Golden music disc, all the books, will apear broken, pop it in your inventory and it will update.

• Fishing updated to be ever-green (aka, post-1.13 fish will be able to stack with 1.13 fish...hopefully) But this means old fish won't be able to be traded with new fisherman trades

• Apple drop rate is now higher than vanilla (base 0.5% -> 0.75% ; max fortune 2.5% -> 4%) (👥)
  • I still want apples to be a little bit hard to come by, but let me know what you think

• All throwable foods now have proper colours and particle effects (they look pretty cool!)

Tool & Enchantment Tweaks

• SMITHING NO LONGER REQUIRES BASE-METALS
  • In previous versions, to make a shakudo hoe, you needed: Copper Ingot + Copper Hoe + Shakudo Alloy
  • From this version on, you would instead do: BLANK + Copper Hoe + Shakudo Alloy
  • (I didn't realise the "template" field could be empty)
• Admant has been reworked
  • Instead of each piece giving soul hearts, instead it gives health boost hearts
  • The Set bonus still gives soul hearts, but only 2
  • This was to make adamant less OP (in bad way) but still OP (in a good way)
  • The hope is that, while the soul heart buffer is great for minimising small amounts of damage, it won't be so much that the player never needs to bother with eating
  • Through play-testing we (you and I) will determine if the soul heart refresh rate needs to be further nerfed
  • The Divinity enchantment has been removed from all tools and weapons, instead replaced with sharpness or efficiency
• Electrum was slightly nerfed (SB: ❤❤❤❤ -> ❤❤)

• The following tweaks will only apply to NEWLY crafted tools (datapack limitation)
• Only Diamond, Electrum, and Adamant can now mine obsidian
• Obsidian mining speed for Diamond+ tool tiers is SIGNIFICANTLY faster (9 -> 35 ; 12 -> 55 ; 12 -> 55)

• Hepatizon Mining Speed Buffed (To make it worth using after obtaining Adamant)
  • Axe, Shovel, Pickaxe (~13 -> 20) (Pickaxe can insta-mine stone at eff V without Haste)
  • Mattock, Dolabra (~12? -> 15)

• Repairing Equipment in the crafting menu is now disabled (can't modify this with datapacks, can't use custom items in crafting either, so its best this way)
• Electurm, Shakudo, Adamant Intrinsics are now exlusive with each other (AKA you cannot give an electurm sword the Life steal intrinsic of a Shakudo Sword)
• Silver Sword, Warding Sword, Warding Shield, can now only be repaired with Nazars or Lapis

• Fortune III can now only be obtained from Electrum
  • Fortune cannot be combined in an anvil to get a higher level, it caps at 1
  • Nor can you find naturally-occurring Fortune III books from chest
  • So the ONLY WAY to obtain Fortune III, is from electrum

• Butcher's Knife removed from smithing
• Steel Claymore added (Lmk what you think, I'll add more claymores if people like them)
• Shakudo Armour nerfed (3 -> 1)
• Adamant Armour durability nerfed (1500 -> 1000)
• ALL Alloyed equipment has a "Repaired With:" Tooltip, which shows what items can be used to repair it

• Repairing materials made consistent across all alloys, and tweaked (Mostly more expensive)
  • WHY??: Electrum is hard to get, but you use more abundant materials to repair it. I chose to make Electrum/Adamant only repairable with diamond blocks. The hope being, that players will not choose to ALWAYS wear these, and opt for things like Hepatizon or Shakudo. Maybe only wearing Electrum/Adamant when caving or taking-on dungeons. This was the original intent of having Shakudo and Hepatizon in the first place--horizontal progression--VIABLE and interesting choices for the player, even in late-game. Its yet to be seen if these tweaks are succesful to that end.
• I am aware of the enchantment override when smithing, ITS FIXED!(?)
  • I have NO IDEA how HapppySpud did this, I need to look through the code, but I tested it, it works, so...
  • Thank you, HapppySpud, for your work, and may you be blessed by Daedalus himself

Ore and World Generation

• These changes can only be seen in newly-generated chunks
• Silver spawns less on the surface now--WAIT WAIT, Hold on, keep listening (👥)
  • Silver can be found in every biome, rarley
  • Silver can be found doubly (triply??) often in Mountain Biomes, the deeper you are the more likley you'll find these desposits.
  • High-elevation silver is still there! Just less common than it once was.

• Coal spawns in very large amounts at deepslate level beneath deserts
• Quartz now spawns at much higher elevations, and in larger amounts (Good source of glass) (👥)
• Beaches now spawn blue orchids and cornflowers (because I think the blue flowers look nice on the sand)

• Hellspore (Nether wart) now spawns in Soul Sand Valleys and Wastes (Made by HapppySpud!) (👥)
  • HapppySpud found a way to use trees to make nether wart patches with soul sand beneath! I wasn't able to figure that out.
  • I want to learn more about features in the future so I can make the patches that perfectly fit for me, but this is an amazing feature they made so its staying in

• Gravel removed from Hell (Made by HapppySpud!)

Texture Changes

• Removed Charcoal from normal Campfire Texture (I'll fix the soul sand one later)

• Lapis Lazuli, Lapis Block, and Nazar Changed (LMK on the Lapis Block, im iffy about that one)
  • Originally made by (Zergologist)! I edited their textures to my taste, but they made an awesome lapis lazuli and I wanted to put it in.
  • You'll find their original lapis block texture in there "lapis_block_ORG" try it out and tell me what you think. I found it had a bit too much contrast for me? But I dont think mine is much better. I'm not great with block textures

• Changed Smithing Table UI AGAIN, to make it more clear...hopefully
• Deepslate Coal Ore now has normal deepslate coal ore on top and bottom
• Flower pot cross errors fixed (rescale) (👥)

• Purple Grass colours removed (Made by Movpasd!) (👥)
  • I did this on purpose, using purple in unused biome colours, so I could tell if any biomes weren't done. But some mods, like terralith, use those unused colours.
  • Movpasd made a gradated version of my biome colour map, which is now in the pack proper
• All Jewellery updated to a higher resolution, not far enough to be un-vanilla, but they look much better!
  • The amber earring and opal earring textures were orginally made by (INSERT NAME HERE). I edited them to my taste, and after learning the resolution could be higher, updated the jewellery that they didn't do.

• Axiom, and Easy Shulkers UI now have textures in the pack! (Made by: roliuu!!)
• I will add my version of JBT's Hammer when I get the chance! Roliuu showed me, through their work, how to modify mod textures and now im excited to do it
• Ender chest texture changed to match its item (I'll make a better texture in the future!)
• Husks are now white, to make them distinct from zombies (👥)
• Coal texture changed to look more laminated (I'll polish up and see what I can do with it, but the banded design is staying)
• Copper Eye now closes when shot

Removed

• Weakness Splash, Invisibility, and Poison Splash poition from Cleric
• ALL potions will eventually be removed from the cleric trade and he will serve a different function. The Potions were/are place holders before a corresponding food is added

Denied/Put on Back-burner Requests

• Invisible Armour Stands
  • I really liked this idea, but in survival theres no way to "kill" and invisible armour stand, you have to be in creative. So I don't think it would work out. I could add work-arounds for this, but i think its best to just get an armour poser mod since they're light-weight and corruption adverse.
• Trim material Updates
  • Trim materials require each item to have a provides_trim_material component. For a feature thats not widley used, I can't justify spending my time reworking every loot table and crafting recipe for this. But I do want to get to it in the future. But maybe instead by adding a new "Trim" Item, crafted from the ingots or something that lets players do this. Or replace metal trims entirley with just dye colours instead. Who knows. All I know is for now is, Its better I spend my time working on other things
• Crystal Hearts should only be used when I want them to be
  • Crystal hearts are used as soon as the player gets it so that they feel the pressure to make it out of whatever dungeon/cave alive. It increases the stakes, and I think that makes caving/adventuring more interesting.
• Enchantments/Recipes/etc should be explained more
  • I think certain things should be as clear as possible. Smithing for example should be.
  • I don't think enchantments should be explained much at all. I want players to be curious and explore what an enchant does. I want players to ask their friends "What the cross symbol mean?" I think that stuff is fun.
  • I want all enchants to be iconographic in the future. This will make things less clear (maybe) but will also make them universal and essoteric. Im flip-flopping if this should be ONLY intrinic enchantments right now, or even stuff like Silk Touch. For now, im sticking with intrinsic enchants ONLY should be iconographic.
  • If you have ideas for the Safe Fall Distance +1 enchant let me know. Right now its a shield and a down arrow but I need to think of something better, beucase it looks like defense is going down.
• Change the coal ore! It so ugly pls 😭
  • I like the coal :c
  • Coal forms in bands in real life, which is why it looks that way. And I think it really sells the deposit as just a slab in the middle of the rock like that. In the future I could add more coal variants so it changes the size of the deposit, but i like the bands, I want to keep them that way. I kept the coal ore normal on top so players could see it. I tried with nothing on top and it made it too hard to see. I could also change the coal to be a solid block (Like a coal block but slighly different texture) And I may go futher and change generation to make them a solid, linear disc, but I dont think its too important rn

Technical Changes

• All recipes moved into main:recipes/*, all recipe unlocks updated accordingly (I have to move them again to matcha:* 😔)
• Gamerules are now set on first load, so they can be changed, EX. Keep inventory is only set to true on the first load, or when a new player joins for the first time
• Ive learned a lot about programming etiquette over the past few months. First of all, Thank you for putting up with my unreadable nonsense. Moving forward I am going to try and abide by programtic conventions and datapack manners. While not everything has been changed yet, I'm working on doing a couple thing

Pre Releases

• I think this will be better for UX, feedback, and an opportunity to patch major bugs before suggesting everyone update

Version Numbers

• I will try and follow the convention of x.y.z
• x Major
• y Minor
• z Patch
• With one caveat. I think I am going to be much more liberal about when I choose to ordaine an update as "Major" or "Minor" as compared to most computer science people. If I clean up a lot of code, do major optimisations for example, I see that as minimally affecting the user experience, thus, it would be a "Patch" update. But If introduce something that dramatically changes the player experience and progression, I want to call that a "Major" update. This may not be how most people would do things. But I want to try to communicate to the audience, through version numbers, how much they should pay attention to something.

Minecraft vs Namespace

• At the begining minecraft vs namespace was entirley random. Some things I would put in minecraft just beucase I didn't think about it, or know where it should go. Kanoarob helped me understand the difference between these two things, and gave me insight into the proper datapack etiquette.
• Moving forward my namespace (called matcha) will contain only new additions, and Minecraft will contain only overrides
• I'm working on moving everything to the Matcha namespace
• Not everything has been moved over yet! (Esp. textures) I'm sure there are things I forgot or still misunderstand, I'm still learning. But I will do my best

Unused Comments

• I have unused commands that have been commented out, ALL over my code. I do this during bug testing to try and find the best solution to a problem. But I've heard it can make my code hard to understand. So
• From now on, I will remove any unused code even if its commented, unless it has an explanation attached
• Some commands, under the heart system for example, are commented out, but I now have explanations as to what they do and why they are commented out. I'm not great with datapacks. It can take me a long time to develop some system. So leaving them there for me to come back to in the future, to reference or modify, is really helpful for me. I don't want to delete a command that took me a couple hours to figure out, because If I want to revisit it in the future, thats another few hours gone. I know that can be frustrating, but It really does help me, so I hope you'll allow me some breathing room there.

Translation Support

• From now on, all advancements, items, descriptions, etc will have translation support
• I have been working with natroute and imtlx (and many other volunteers) to help matcha flavoured support translation. I'm positive there are items I've missed. But we have what we have for now! If you'd like to help, go to the lang files, theres a txt there that can give you a discord to help Nat and the rest!
• Natroute, Imtlx, and Nameless Ju have helped me so so much, not only on translation but also in supporting me on my journey to learning more about datapacks and commands. They have been so helpful, and their insight has allowed me to clean up this code for all of you

The Dreaded ticking functions

• From now on, I will avoid ticking functions as much as possible
• A lot of my design is very very old, from when I was first learning, and I relied on ticking functions a lot. I still do. I am trying to imagine ways around them and have been somewhat successful. I want to make it so I will only use ticking functions as a last-resort, because I understand they can significantly impact performance.
• When I made the abbey, I managed to use the player shooting target advancement in order to trigger the marker scans. This is the kind of thing I want to keep doing. Try to limit scans using advancements instead of ticks.

Optimisations

• I forgot I left a ticking function for abbey nonsense, this was removed and now uses the "hit_copper_eye" advancement instead
• Hashiru gave me a lot of optimisations for the pack, very kind of them. They reworked armour and particles so that they don't need ticking functions anymore. I wil use their system from now on
• Hashiru also reworked the warding stone and heart containers to be better as well!
• I optimised the Spawn Mechanics by using predicates, Hashiru showed me that predicates work faster than nbt data things. I also went through and made sure that each mob type check was only done ONCE. This should help as well

Cleanup

• MAJOR clean-up needs to be done on the code, and I will do this, when I move everything over. There are some functions that are redundant or do not use new systems (beacon kindling particles) I will do that during the move
• I will make the on_first_load actually run on the first load, but I want this patch out first
