26.1.x - Major Version Update - 1.4.0

Soulrender Changes

• The Soulrender now has a crafting recipe;
  • It can be crafted at the Soul Altar using a Netherite Sword, a 'Soul Ingot' and a new item called the 'Soul Template' (read more about the Soul Ingot and Soul Template below!)
  • Crafting The Soulrender takes 15 minutes and is vaguely and publicly broadcasted to all online players
  • Only one Soulrender can be crafted and exist per server/world (except if it is spawned in through Creative/commands)
    • This crafting recipe is disabled by default, but can be enabled in the config or through '/souls config soulrenderrecipe true'
• We're introducing a new item, the Soul Template;
  • The 'Soul Template' can be crafted the Soul Altar with 64 Soul Dust, an Artificial Life and a Warden Heart (taking 60 total minutes to craft)
  • The 'Soul Template' cannot be duplicated unlike other vanilla templates
• We're also introducing a secondary new item, called the Soul Ingot;
  • You can craft a Soul Ingot at the Soul Altar using a Netherite Ingot and the Eye of Sorrow (taking 10 total minutes to craft)
• The Soulrender is now invulnerable against lava

Ghost Mode Changes

• Players in Ghost Mode can no longer freely fly through blocks like in Spectator Mode;
  • Players in Ghost Mode can only travel 8 blocks "deep"
  • Players in Ghost Mode now get an increasingly strong haze/vignette effect the "deeper" they travel
  • Players in Ghost Mode have their vision go darker the "deeper" they travel

Eye of Sorrow Changes

• The Eye of Sorrow is now crafted by surrounding an Ender Pearl with 8 Ghast Tears instead of a singular Ghast Tear

Soul Dust Changes

• Soul Dust has had its textures and saturation adjusted

Spawn Platform Changes

• The Spawn Platform has been removed to improve compatibility

Config Changes

• Config file should always generate properly and be adjustable
• Added a new config setting for the shared lives players get when soul-binding (these also render properly when adjusted)
  • Minimum amount = 3, maximum amount = 15
• Made lives render properly when adjusting their standard amount (base lives)
  • Minimum amount = 3, maximum amount = 10

Command Changes

• Added the following command /souls lectern (lock/unlock);
  • This command locks existing Soul Lecterns, meaning the books can be viewed but cannot be taken from the Lecterns

Compatibility Changes

• Fixed a few small issues between mod support for the following mods;
  • Jade
  • Simple Voice Chat
  • Mod Menu
  • Flashback
• The 'Dice' Mod now adds a special way of obtaining the Omnipotent Soul when installed alongside one another (no obtainment information here!)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the player would keep their Glowing effect (from ghost mode) even after respawning
• Fixed a bug where a Corrupted Soul-user would drop a Corrupted Soul on their death rather than their Original Soul
• Fixed a bug where Soulless players could obtain a Unique Soul
• Fixed a bug where the '/souls lives (player) (amount)' command wouldn't overwrite half lives
• Fixed a bug where mobs could pick up Player Souls
• Fixed a bug where Corrupted Players that were Corrupted by the person that created the Corrupted Soul could damage the person that 'infected' them
• Fixed a multitude of other bugs related to the Corrupted Soul to make it more in-line with the Original from the 1.21.1 version
