📜 Samotracia v1.14.5

---

👁️ HUD & Visibility Overhaul

• Enhanced Heart Rendering:

  • Completely redesigned the heart icons for both standard and absorbing health states.
  • Added new blinking variants (absorbing_half_blinking, absorbing_full_blinking) to provide clearer visual feedback when health is critical or absorption is active.
  • Improved contrast and sprite definition to ensure hearts are instantly readable even in chaotic combat situations.

• Inventory & Effect Backgrounds:

  • Updated effect_background and effect_background_ambient textures.
  • Increased clarity of potion effect areas in the inventory screen, reducing visual noise and making active effects easier to distinguish at a glance.

🔤 Typography Update (From "Azzurra")

• New Font Integration:

  • Imported the custom font from my legacy pack "Azzurra".
  • Characteristics: Smaller glyph size and increased stroke clarity compared to the vanilla font.
  • Benefit: This new font (ascii.png, nonlatin_european.png) significantly improves text readability in chat, tooltips, and signs, allowing more information to be displayed on screen without clutter. It creates a cleaner, more professional aesthetic consistent with the pack's vision.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Magma Cube Texture Fix:

  • Resolved a critical display issue where Magma Cubes were rendering incorrectly due to a texture mismatch with the new snapshot model.
  • The texture now correctly maps to the updated geometry, ensuring the Magma Cube appears as intended without stretching or missing pixels.

• Recipe Book Optimization:

  • Refined recipe_book.png to align perfectly with the new font size and HUD changes, ensuring no UI elements overlap or appear misaligned.

🔄 Project Heritage

• Continuing the Legacy: Like the GUI updates from Lazur in previous versions, this update brings the typographic excellence of Azzurra into Samotracia, further unifying my body of work into a single, cohesive, and highly accessible experience.

💡 Developer Note:
Version 1.14.5 is all about clarity. Whether it's seeing your health drop in a split second, reading a long tooltip in chat, or spotting a Magma Cube in the Nether, every change is designed to make the game more readable and visually precise.
