CraftBound OneBlock 1.1.0

Changed

• Soul Remnant overhaul: no longer wanders as an entity — it's now a stationary, particle-only marker, staying visible until collected
• Soul Remnant recovery is now completely free (no more "bring something common" requirement)
• Soul Remnant marker now keeps a minimum 35-block distance from your island
• Soul Remnant decay retuned to match its short spawn distance: common items are lost after 45 seconds (was 10 minutes), tools/valuables after 3 minutes (was 25), armor plus the marker itself after 6 minutes (was 45) — decay still prioritizes common items first, armor last
• Soul Remnant is now much easier to spot in the void: denser, larger particles with a periodic pulse, in a darker tone that still stands out against the black
• Villager trades expanded: 6 trades per phase instead of 4, and trades stay available longer
• Dirt is now purchasable from villagers starting in the Stone Caves phase
• Moss added to the villager trade pool
• Perks tab now explains where perk points come from
• Perk tree reworked into real branches with prerequisites (3 root paths: Swift Strides, Thick Skin, Efficient Miner)
• Leaves added to the Starter phase's block pool; saplings removed from general chest loot (Sapling Kit renamed and refilled instead)
• Bee Nest completely removed from the block pool
• Reward-chest and post-break-event frequency roughly halved (lower chance, longer cooldown)

Fixed

• Fixed players occasionally falling through the world / getting stuck when a reward chest appeared (including a related farmland-specific fall bug)
• Fixed the camera snapping to face north when a reward chest appeared
• Fixed a brief flash of empty air before a broken block's replacement appears

CraftBound OneBlock 1.0.0 — Release

This release caps off the beta and marks Craftbound OneBlock's first full 1.0! Thanks to everyone who played through the beta and reported issues — this build brings a lot of new content on top of a more stable foundation.

Added

• In-game stats menu — press O anytime to open a 6-tab panel: Progress, Achievements, Perks, Stats, Log, and Settings.
• 14 achievements to unlock as you progress through the phases.
• Event Log — a running history of your recent milestones, chest rewards, and other notable moments, right there in the stats menu.
• Recipe Book integration — new recipes unlock automatically as you reach new phases.
• Three new random events: Wandering Trader (phase-appropriate trades), Meteor (a "Void Rift" that drops rare loot), and rare Miniboss encounters.
• Perk system — earn perk points at key milestones and spend them on 9 permanent gameplay bonuses (choose 8 of 9 across a full playthrough).
• 5 cosmetic block auras — unlock new particle effects for your OneBlock as you progress, purely for flair.
• Elite Zombie — a rare, randomly-geared Monster Wave variant with a shot at dropping its gear.
• Config file support — server owners can now tune thresholds, chances, and cooldowns without a code change.

Changed

• Rebalanced the Starter phase's block pool (more dirt/grass) and capped Crafting Tables at 2 per world.
• Enriched the End phase with more block and chest-loot variety.
• Reworked the mining loot pools so themed chests feel more distinct from each other, with less repetition of torches and coal.
• Late-game Monster Waves now stay just as threatening as the mid-game peak instead of tapering off.
• Reduced Stone Caves' bat swarms in favor of a proper mix of zombies, skeletons, and spiders.

Upgrading from an earlier beta? Your world carries over safely, and any perk points you'd already earned from milestones you've passed will be granted automatically the first time you load in.

Notes

CraftBound OneBlock remains standalone.

This version does not add custom items, custom blocks, external dependencies, or direct TaCZ integration.

Progression is now better suited for modpacks where players need larger amounts of vanilla resources such as iron, coal, copper, redstone, gold, diamonds, and End/Nether resources.

This is still an early beta. Bugs, balancing issues, and progression changes are expected.

Singleplayer testing is recommended first.
