Shadowlands

4.0.2 Changelog:

Fixed some Creeper Forest trees not having trunks

Forgot to upload 4.0.1 to Modrinth oops...

4.0 Changelog:

Added Nightmare Eye mobs which the Red Nightmare boss spawns at 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 health to shoot fireballs at players

Nerfed the Red Nightmare's armor from 60% to 50% to make up for the extra attacks it can now do

Added Wither Skeleton reinforcements which the Wither Skeleton Commander can spawn at 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 health

Added a magical beam attack which Sporeking will occasionally use to give players short blindness, darkness or levitation effects, with a new custom sound

Added Spell mobs which when summoned by the Plaguemaiden shoot magic beam attacks at the player

Added tag support for Eyelid (not a specific mod but rather shared tags I'm likely to reuse for different mods, only use for the new tags at the moment is making wands/magical items in Shadowlands repairable with the Repair Spell from Realms of Redemption)

Release notes (READ BEFORE UPDATING):

4.0 should be compatible with worlds from 3.0 and above, however there will be odd borders between old and new terrain and potentially bugged lighting near removed blocks or blocks where the light level has been changed. Addon/modpack developers should check through any Shadowlands FTB quests files they have to check for broken parts, and should check logs for broken custom recipes/loot tables/other datapack elements they have added containing items from this mod. Feel free to reach out to me if you need any help with that.

Future plans:

Vellium needs reworking, more models/textures need changing, several bosses need more detailed fights, there's still so much to do but it will need to wait, I'm running low on motivation again.

3.11 Changelog:

Lots of much needed balance changes and bug fixes

Doubled Pyrite ore spawning rate (it's barely even used, no point making it annoying to find)

Multiplied Ruby Cube and Golden Cube spawns by 3.3 (They were WAY too rare)

Nerfed Enhanced Ruby Sword drops from Ruby Cubes by half to make up for the buffed spawning

Buffed Void Armor Loot Block drops from 25% chance of dropping armor to 33% (average of 4 dungeons to get a whole set was too grindy)
