Bug Fixes

  • 16 blocks will provide conduit power 1
  • 30 blocks will provide conduit power 2
  • 42 blocks will provide conduit power 3

• Balanced mastery point values for some advancements
• Updated icons for some advancements

Path to Netherite Changes

• Nether gold ore now drops 2-3 raw gold clumps instead of 1 raw gold
• Increased netherite smithing template weight from piglin bartering from 5 → 8

The high return rate and frequency of nether gold ore has left overworld gold in a neglected state. These changes aim to keep the same return rates for netherite smithing templates while also reducing how much gold the player can farm purely from nether gold ore.

Piglin Bartering Changes

• Reduced nether alloy smithing template weight from 5 → 2
• Reduced raw hide drops from 2-4 → 1-2
• Reduced crying obsidian drops from 2-4 → 1-2
• Reduced string drops from 3-9 → 2-4
• Reduced nether quartz drops from 3-5 → 1-2
• Reduced iron nugget drops from 5-18 → 3-6

Bartering is the main path players will take for their path to netherite and with that they gain an excess amount of useful resources. While we want piglin trades to be useful, we don't want the other ways of obtaining these items to become obsolete.

Fortress Loot Changes

• Reduced diamond weight from 10 → 5
• Reduced quartz drops from 8-12 → 6-9
• Reduced gold drops from 8-12 → 4-6
• Reduced diamond drops from 2-4 → 1-2

With the extra roll being given to fortress loot, the amount of drops given has been reduced. Diamonds have also taken a bigger hit as we have seen too many of them generate from fortresses even before the loot buff.

Wandering Trader Changes

• Replaced resin clump trade with resin speck trade
• Added repair kits to the premium selling table
• Reduced most prices on item to emerald trades

Despite being a nuisance, we still want the wandering trader to have value to the player at all stages of the game. The constant need for repair kits should keep the player interested in checking the wandering trader.

Miscellaneous Changes

• Updated textures for phantom sinew, dreamcatcher, rhyolite, and polished rhyolite
• Added rhyolite bricks and its variants
• Slime block and slime ball recipes now match other compacted block recipes
• Bamboo block recipe now matches other compacted block recipes

Improved Respawning

• Increased respawning health value from 10 → 12
• Increased respawning hunger value from 10 → 12
• If a player dies with less than 12 hunger points, they will respawn with the amount of hunger points they had before dying. (with a minimum of 6 hunger points)
• If a player dies with less than 12 hunger points, they will respawn with 1 point of saturation instead of the normal amount.
• If a player spawns at a bed:
  • Increase respawning health value from 12 → 16
  • Increase respawning hunger value from 12 → 16
  • If a player dies with less than 16 hunger points, they will respawn with the same amount of hunger points they had before dying. (minimum of 10 hunger points)
  • If a player dies with less than 10 hunger points, they will respawn with 1 point of saturation instead of the normal amount.

While we still want to punish the player for dying, we have found that death has felt too punishing and unfair at certain points. This change aims to add some relief to players who die unexpectedly while still punishing those who attempt to die on purpose. Beds have also been given some changes to respawn mechanics as we have seen that their impact is still quite low despite the effort it takes to obtain one.

• Fixed shields not breaking when the player is at 0 stamina
• Fixed the farmer villager's wheat trade requiring raw copper instead
• Fixed the elytra not being put on cooldown when taking damage while in the player's inventory
• Fixed the elytra being put on cooldown when taking 0 damage

Repair Kits and Forge Dust

• The repair kit is a new item that can be crafted using a bone, string, leather, and any color of cloth
• The repair kit will restore a set percentage of an item's durability depending on its material when used in an anvil
  • The more powerful the tool, the more repair kits you'll need to fully repair the item
• Forge dust is another new item that be crafted using a lapis lazuli, amethyst shard, glowstone dust, and gunpowder
• Forge dust can be specialized with the material of the tool you are trying to repair
• Forge dust will always repair a third of the item's durability when combined with in an anvil

Anvil Changes

• Zombified piglins now have a minimum heat detection of 25 before they will track players
• Zombified piglins will now agress onto the player when hit
• Increased max health from 12 → 14

Zombified piglins have felt overwhelming right out of the gate. Hopefully these changes should help them still feel threatening without making them oppressive.

Fortress Loot Changes

• Added nether quartz to the loot table
• Added golden leggings and boots to the loot table
• Modified rolls for gold ingots slightly
• Added an extra roll to the fortress chest loot pool

While mining may be the main way to grind towards netherite, we want to add more paths that allow the player to reach that goal, including structure exploration.

• Increased quartzite tool mining efficiency from 6 → 8
• Increased quartzite tool durability from 64 → 128
• Increased golden tool mining efficiency from 9 → 12

  • On use, the reverb compass will unlink and revert back into a normal compass

• Pale garden blocks are no longer flammable and no longer catch fire from lava
• Increased block hardness of pale oak logs, wood, and their stripped variants from 2 -> 5
• Increased block hardness of creaking hearts from 10 -> 22.5

Creaking Reborn

• The creaking will now deal true damage (ignores armor and damage resistance)
  • Easy: 1.5 damage
  • Normal: 3 damage
  • Hard: 6 damage
• The creaking will now apply hindered to the player on hit for 3 seconds
• Breaking resin will now drop resin specks instead of resin clumps
• Resin specks (4) can be combined to make resin clumps

• Creaking hearts will now drop resin specks instead of resin clumps

With new incentives to interact with the Pale Garden, the biome and the creaking have gotten massive overhauls to make the "hunting" experience more interactive. True damage makes the creaking a threat to the player, no matter what stage of the game you are in and the hinder makes a creaking ambush much more deadly.

Multitools

• Multitools can be crafted using 4 different tools (of the same material) and 5 resin bricks
• Crafting a multitool will not carry over any durability or enchantments
• Multitools share the same properties and functionalities of axes, pickaxes, scythes, and shovels
  • Using this item on dirt will create farmland normally, shifting while using will create a path block
• Multitools can still be repaired using their respective materials
• Multitools only support the efficiency, unbreaking, silk touch, and fortune enchantments

Multitools are a common trope that has been used in many other mods, but Inferno intends to implement them in a unique way. Using the sticky properties of resin, players can now combine their tools into one using the material, giving the player new reason to explore and find a pale garden.

Sparkling Blackstone

• Sparkling blackstone is a new block that can be found in bastion remnants
• Sparkling blackstone will evolve over time (similar to budding amethyst)
• Sparkling blackstone will NOT drop upon being broken
• Mining it will degrade its value by 1 and drop an amount of gold nuggets depending on the stage it was broken at
• Some of the hidden gold blocks in bastion remnants have been replaced with sparkling blackstone

We wanted to create more player interactivity between existing structures and sparkling blackstone is our first attempt at that with bastions. Since players need a ton of gold to trade for netherite smithing templates, adding a consistent source of gold that the player can rely on can help ease that grind.

• Increased copper trident thrown damage from 8 -> 9
