Strife and Calamity

• Fixed the cross‑dimensional teleportation function of The Eye of Endless War.
• Added difficulty abilities: Time Anchoring Protocol I and Time Anchoring Protocol II.
• Reworked the slash attack of The Eye of Endless War and the Warfare Spawner – it can now destroy projectiles within its range.

New Entity: The Eye of Endless War

• The Eye of Endless War is spawned by the Warfare Spawner at the cost of 200 Resource Points, provided that:
  • The Warfare Spawner has more than 1000 + (current number of Eyes × 1000) Resource Points, and
  • There exists a reachable special target for the Eye.
• After spawning, the Eye will absorb Resource Points from the Warfare Spawner until it reaches 300 points, then it will seek out the special target.
• If its own Resource Points drop below 150, it will return to the Warfare Spawner's location.
• If the special target is not in the same dimension as the Eye, and the target's location is being interfered by the Dimensional Infiltration Protocol, the Eye will consume 50 Resource Points to teleport to the target's dimension. Once teleported, the Eye will no longer return to the Warfare Spawner to replenish points.
• If no reachable special target exists, the Eye will continue absorbing points until it reaches 500 Resource Points.

Combat Abilities:

• When encountering enemies, the Eye attacks with slashes and projectile generation.
• Against special targets, it unlocks special abilities:
  • Dark Gaze: The Eye roars and releases particle effects. Non‑ally entities within 50 blocks with light level below 7 receive negative effects. Costs 1 Resource Point.
  • Same Eye, Different Bodies: The Eye provides vision to allies without a target, emitting bell sounds and rune particles. It sets the target of any ally within 50 blocks that has no current target to the special target locked by the Eye, and teleports allies that are between 50 and 100 blocks away to itself. Costs 1 Resource Point per ally teleported.
  • Breeding Ill Omen: When no allies are nearby, the Eye consumes Resource Points to spawn three allies (Creeper, Spider, and Zombie). Costs 1 Resource Point per ally spawned.

Changes to Protective Layer Protocol:

• This upgrade now requires 1500 Difficulty Progress and 500 Resource Points to unlock.

Update Log

• Added a new enhancement ability:
  Protective Layer Protocol
  After unlocking, each level of "Beast in the Cage" grants a 25% chance for the creature to gain the "Cage Protection" effect, providing 10 points of damage absorption and using that absorption to negate negative effects.

• Optimized the AI of certain creatures.

• Fixed various bugs. The Sub‑segment Mask Interferer can now properly retrieve the coordinates of the Warfare Spawner.

• Added new negative effects:

  Daylight Scorn:
  Entities affected by the "Beast in the Cage" effect will gain this effect when in areas with light level greater than 12. While "Beast in the Cage" remains active, if this effect is present and the entity is in light, its level and duration will increase, up to a maximum of level V and 100 seconds. While under this effect, entities in light level greater than 12 will take fire damage, be set on fire, and have a chance to gain the "FallacyLoop" effect.

  Electric Disorder:
  When an entity affected by "Beast in the Cage" takes lightning damage, it will gain this effect, which reduces movement speed and attack damage.

• Modified some mechanics:
  Entities with "Beast in the Cage" now take double lightning damage, and when struck by lightning, they have a chance to gain the "FallacyLoop" effect.

• Fixed several known issues.

New Items Added:

• Paradox Key – A fragile weapon designed specifically for use against the Warfare Spawner. When applied to entities afflicted with the "Beast in the Cage" effect, it inflicts the "Fallacy Loop" effect, which disrupts the normal functioning of that effect.

New Effect: Fallacy Loop

• Can only be applied to entities already under the "Beast in the Cage" effect. It clears the entity's aggro (hostility) every second and hinders the activation of the "Beast in the Cage" effect.

Recipe Addition:

• Added a new crafting recipe for the Difficulty Display item.

Balance Changes:

• Significantly reduced the power of the Warfare Spawner. Now, obtaining Resource Points and Difficulty Progress takes ten times longer than before.

New Configurable Options:

• Ability Acquisition Interval – Configures the interval at which the Warfare Spawner unlocks abilities. Default: 1440 seconds (1 day).
• Resource Point Acquisition Interval – Configures the interval at which the Warfare Spawner gains Resource Points. Default: 10 seconds.
• Difficulty Progress Acquisition Interval – Configures the interval at which the Warfare Spawner gains Difficulty Progress. Default: 10 seconds.

Added new configuration option:

• Whether to spawn a Warfare Spawner when placing a spawn point (default: enabled).

Added new items:

• Sword, pickaxe, axe, hoe, and shovel crafted from Spawner Shards.
  • Attacks ignite enemies for 100 seconds (effect stacks).
  • Mining blocks that can be smelted drops the smelted result.
  • Killing mobs restores 10% durability.
• Warfare Spawner Spawn Egg.
• Enchanted Spawner Shard, dropped by the Warfare Spawner.

Adjusted item rarities for several items.
