Version 4.0.1

Technical Changes:

• Added HideTooltip tag for Weapons and Ink Tanks, hiding Weapon Settings and Ink Capacity respectively
• Color Locked Ink Tanks now show what color they’re locked to in their tooltip
• Splatcraft HUD elements no longer render when you’re in spectator mode
• Releasing right-click when in squid form now resets stored charge for weapons that support it (certain Chargers and Splatlings)

Bug Fixes

• Greatly increased performance when loading in chunks, this was caused due to World Ink data causing chunks to be populated prematurely
• Fixed Dualies, Sloshers, and Splatlings not setting their decayed projectile stats correctly
• Fixed Dualies not applying Pitch Compensation and Turret Mode Air Inaccuracy settings correctly
• Fixed ink-colored blocks flashing black when first placed
• Fixed ink color tint for the Nautilus 47 and Nautilus 79
• Colliding with a Spawn Pad shield of an opposing color now kicks players out of any vehicles they may be riding
• Spawn Pad shields no longer make Stage Barriers visible
• Fixed certain clientside mods not rendering player models with the right ink color under special circumstances. (most noticeable with Essential’s player render in the pause menu)
• Fixed Splatling root advancement not unlocking when Horseshoe Apprentice is obtained
• Fixed Non-Single Use Sub Weapons playing the Sub Detonating sound event when dropped from a dispenser

Splatcraft Version 4.0: Back To BasInks

Known Issues:

• Splatcraft is currently incompatible with OptiFine and Embeddium, causing blocks to not render as inked when either of these two is present. A fix should hopefully be ready before the next major update. But in the meantime, I recommend using Rubidium for performance boosts and shaders, as the mod has been proven to be compatible with it.
• Grates placed in older versions will all appear as their bottom-half variant. This should be a one-time issue and should not persist as long as the mod isn't downgraded.

New Features:

• Added Splatlings: A heavy class of Main Weapon that can be charged up to fire a volley of ink projectiles, some can even store their charge when entering squid form!

• Completely overhauled the mod's survival experience! Sardinium will no longer spawn in veins underground, but will instead be obtained from Sardinium Deposits: large rocks that can be found occasionally within ocean biomes, these rocks are composed of Sardinium Ore and Coralite.

• Players with the Water Breathing effect no longer take water damage when the doWaterDamage rule is enabled

• Power Eggs will no longer be obtained from fishing and underwater chests, but will now be found inside of crates scattered around the ocean floor. These crates can be picked up and taken to the surface to break them open with ink. As a result, the Ammo Knights Workbench, Ink Tank Jr., and Splattershot Jr. will no longer cost Power Eggs to make.

• Alongside groups of crates a new mysterious artifact can be found, it can be broken to obtain Ammo Knights Scraps: a new material crucial in the creation of machines and tools that are important to the mod.

• Added Coralite: A new stone-like block that can be stained by dropping it over an inkwell to change its color, it can be used to make stairs and slabs which can also be inked.

• Added Blueprints: a new item that can be found inside of Sunken Crates, it allows you to unlock recipes for the Weapon Workbench. You can find out what weapons you already have unlocked by looking at the "Splatcraft Blueprints" tab in the Advancements menu, unlocked after picking up your first blueprint.

• Added an entire Advancement tree for the mod. It should help guide new players to understand the mod's progression and how its survival systems work.

• Updated the recipe for the Ammo Knights Weapon Workbench, Ink Vat, Turf Scanner, Ink Disruptor, Color Transmuter, Spawn Pad, and Remote Pedestal.

• Reworked the way blocks are inked: instead of replacing the affected block, ink will now be stored inside of chunk data separate from the block grid, modifying the block's rendering directly to appear as if it were inked. For those that don't understand what this means, it lets ink and inked blocks do a handful of things they couldn't do before, such as:

  • Making most block entities inkable by default
  • Retaining all of the affected block's properties, including block states, right-click functionality, and anything else it might've been able to do!
  • Greatly reduce the performance impact inked blocks used to have in the game, long gone are the days of laggy turf war matches!
  • Glowing Ink now has an emissive texture instead of directly emitting light, this should also reduce the amount of lighting updates they used to cause, as well as make them even prettier!
  • The speed at which ink decays can now be changed with the inkDecayRate gamerule.
  • Tall grass and crops over ink will no longer be destroyed if the inkDestroysFoliage gamerule/stage setting is disabled.

• Added the brand new Weapon Settings system: Weapon Stats are now handled through .json files, which means that they can now be easily modified using data packs!

• Players can also provide dedicated stats to weapons by attaching the "Settings" NBT tag to it and setting its value to the id of any available weapon setting. This combined with "CustomModelData" allows you to add your very own weapons into the game!

• Projectiles from standard shooting weapons such as Shooters, Dualies, and Splatlings will now travel straight for a set distance before gravity starts taking effect.

• Instead of a percentage, Weapons will now display a ranking for each of their categories, an empty bar indicates that it's one of the worst for that category, while a full bar indicates that it's the best.

• Enabling Advanced Tooltips (F3 + H) displays more exact metrics for each category.

• Charge holding when in squid form for Chargers and Splatlings will now reflect the games more accurately: instead of gradually decreasing, it will reset your charge immediately when held for too long.

• Trying to fire while in Squid Form will temporarily put you out of Squid Form

• When activating Splatcraft actions, the last key pressed will take priority

• It is no longer possible to use Splatcraft weapons while you have weapons on cooldown

• You can now create an additional layer for your skin that reflects your ink color! All you need to do is make a copy of your current skin and use an image editor to remove all the bits you don't want colored, and grayscale those you do. Then, save the copy as player_ink_color.png inside of a new folder called splatcraft inside of your config folder.

  • This works in multiplayer, so other players will be able to see your skin change color without needing to send them any extra files!
  • You don't need to restart the game to apply any changes to your skin. Just relog and you should be good to go!
  • The extra layer obeys transparent pixels, so if you want a part of your skin to only be slightly tinted, make it transparent!

• Added a new Creative tab containing colored items for every color featured in the inkwell

  • The tab's search bar can be used to look up specific colors by typing in their name, registry id, hex code, or decimal code.
  • adding a period (.) at the end of your search helps you look up colors with the exact name of your search. For example: typing in "Blue." will only yield one result instead of 8.
  • Adding an exclamation mark (!) to the start of your search or the word "Inverted" will yield an inverted variant of the color you're looking for. These inverted colors will act as their source color when used alongside the Color Transmuter, /replacecolor command, and Stage Teams, but will otherwise function and visually look how they're supposed to.

• Added Raw Sardinium and Block of Raw Sardinium

• Added Glass Covers: a seethrough variant of Tarp made with glass panes.

• Grates can now be placed vertically by shift right-clicking onto the side of a block.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed Ink Projectiles not remembering their owner on world reload
• Fixed leads attached to Ink Squids not rendering
• Hitting an entity with a Charger shot now only performs a jingle if the target dies

Tarpcraft Version 3.1.2:

To prevent any legal issues with Nintendo, we have decided to entirely scrub and rework any Splatoon-related content off of the mod, if any still remains, please report it to the server authorities.

+ Replaced Ink Squids and the Squid Transformation with a more appealing model
+ Renamed and remodeled every single item, block, entity, GUI, and weapon that is present in the mod to fit more its vision going forward. I am sorry @JustHatless that's just how it is. :(
+ Removed every localization except for English (United States). Not that there was a problem with the other ones, I'm just too lazy to update them all and we have deadlines to meet.
+ Skabingle Land's been added in there somewhere. Where exactly? Idk, try to find it yourself.
+ Sounds have been integrated into the mod! No need for using those pesky Resource Packs with sounds ripped from Splatoon.
- Removed Herobrine

Version 3.1.1

Certain issues were fixed:

• Fixed an issue that caused players to be unable to join multiplayer servers
• Fixed an issue that caused Mixin errors to appear in the dedicated server console

Version 3.1.0

New Features:

• Added Spawn Pads: A new piece of stage-building equipment that allows players to set their spawn on top of it by swimming on it. Spawn Pads come with a protective shield around them that knocks back any entities not matching its color, as well as fizzling out any Ink Projectiles or Sub Weapons that come in contact with it.
• Curling Bombs! A brand new sub weapon that slides forward for a short period of time before detonating, inking the ground below it on it's way. Their distance can be shortened and explosion radius increased by "cooking" the bomb before throwing it, you can do so by holding your sub key (or right-click if you're already holding the item), notice the LEDs at the top, their color indicates for how long the bomb's been cooked for!
• Added /stage: this versatile new command will have gamemode developers all around the block in awe! It allows you to define and manage any region you turn into a Stage (by using /stage add) in a variety of ways:
  • /stage settings allows you to locally change a small selection of gamerules within the stage's boundaries, such as preventing ink from decaying, making water hurt you, and allowing players to use weapons without an ink tank, among many others!
  • /stage teams lets you tag colored blocks in the area with a specific team, allowing you to then use /replacecolor without worrying about two colors overlapping and screwing over your stage
  • /stage warp teleports all targeted players into an available Spawn Pad inside the stage itself! the Spawn Pad needs to first match the player's color in order to teleport them to it. You can even take it a step further and tell the command to set the players' spawn point to their assigned pads!
• Added 2 new game rules: inkableGround and rechargeableInkTank: disabling them lets you prevent players from creating inked blocks and recharging their ink respectively
• Chargers now play a "ding" sound upon landing a direct hit
• Updated credits in the in-game mod list
• Added Italian and Simplified Chinese translation
• Updated Spanish translation
