Luminous: Nether

LUMINOUS: NETHER V1.3.2 Changelog

NEW FEATURES:

-LUMINOUS:NETHER IS NOW 100% COMPATIBLE WITH TERRABLENDER! This is a huge one. In updates prior, I had Terrablender as a required dependency, but not full integration. In this update, the bioms are fully added using Terrablender, and you can now configure the weight of the biomes in the config settings! (In the forge version, there is a new config file with this setting in it, but in NeoForge, it's in the existing one)

-Completely reworked the Poltergeist. It has been renamed to the "Pottergeist", and now spawns exclusively in new small structures in the Ash forest biome, resembling prison cells. All you need to do is right click a Pottergeist to tame it! The Pottergeist can be instructed to either stay or follow the player, and they have the ability to carry loot, like mobile chests! Each Pottergeist can hold 15 slots worth of items, and be decorated using the 4 loot vase types!

-(Unfortunately NOT included in this update is the ability to increase the health of a Pottergeist if it is wearing a vase. That feature will come in a future update. For right now, the vases are just decorative!)

-Armor trims are back! The "Cultist" and "Haunt" armor trims are now useable again, and have been re-added to the vase loot pools!

-Piglin Cultists and Piglin Cultist riders now FULLY SUPPORT rendered "items in hand" and ALL cultists now use based procedural movement animations, just like vanilla mobs! This may seem small, but its an AMAZING breakthrough to me! You will notice the legs and arms of the piglin cultists will move faster or slower based on how fast they are moving now - a HUGE step towards behavior that works exactly like vanilla mobs!

-The Revenant Skeleton and Crimson Walker now support procedural based animations and attacks! You'll notice their movement looking a lot more vanilla like!

-Removed the Piglin Cultist archer from the mod. (The AI and drops were never 100% functional the way I wanted them to be, so for the time being, I am removing it. Instead, I aim to make it so that normal Cultist Piglins can spawn with either a bow or an axe, however, it is something I need to push to a future update. The cultists with bows WILL return one day!)

-Added Blackstone generation to the walls of the Ash Forest, as well as a new block - Blackstone Quartz ore, giving the biome a brand new look and feel!

-Added a new item, the Cultist Axe, which is the default item that all piglin cultists wield now. Dropped by cultist Piglins, this axe is a medium damage, medium speed weapon for early game nether explorers. As of now, the Cultist axe does not have any custom enchantments, but expect them in a future update, to make the weapon more unique!

-Added a new use to Popshroom juice, with players now being able to "place" the juice on the ground, creating a sticky coating that entities cant jump on! Aside from this, Popshroom juice can be used to assist in climbing, or used to help save you from high falls in the nether!

-Piglin Cultist Leaders and Zombified Piglin Cultist leaders both have a 15% chance to summon backup when attacked, giving them a unique use!

-The Configuration files for "mushlin_spewer_spawning", "piglin_executioner_spawning", and "furnace_spawning", now only accepting values of 1 for spawning enabled and 0 for spawning disabled

-The Mushlin King and Warped Mushlin King projectiles now have their own unique death message

-Added new custom walk, hurt, and ground pound sound effects for the Furnace and Soul Furnace

-Added the "Minecraft:logs_that_burn" tag to all custom log blocks, meaning they can al be smelted into charcoal

-Ectoplasm Ball projectiles will now work in Dispensers!

-Added a missing entity shadow for the Basalt Executioner

-Added localization for the "Soul Cleave" enchantment, adding compatibility for mods that give enchantment descriptions!

-Piglin and Basalt executioners now have agro and death animations

-Added the "luminous_nether:loot_vase" tag to all loot vases, removing the "Forge:vases" tag

-The Cultist rider will now spawn a normal Piglin Cultist when killed

-Added Decorative and Chiseled Fungirrack bricks to the Mushlin Shrine and Ribcage Stables structures

-"ash" from the supplementaries mod works with Solid ash blocks in both ways now, where Ash block from Luminous Nether now will craft 4 supplementaries ash items

-Wall mounted candles are now off by default, and can be lit with flint and steel like the skull candles

-Added Wall mounted Ash candles to the graveyard and Shrine structures in the Ash Forest

-Added Withered Saplings - so they can now be grown properly!

-Removed the Guzzleghasts attack animation

-Gave Guzzleghasts a knockback value of 0.2 from 0

-Added a new sound effect when taking/placing Popshroom juice into a Popshroom

-Added sound effect when throwing a Crimson Contaminant bottle

-Added glass particles when the Crimson Contaminant hits a block/entity

-Added tall golden mushrooms - a new plant type in the fungal plains to replace Tall Golden Grass

-Driprot Vines, if right clicked on the end of a vine with a pale melon, will now attach that melon to the vine

-Driprot Vines can now be Bonemealed, with a chance to yield a pale melon, so they can be replenished in your world!

-Added the zombified piglin cultist rider, a new zombified variant of the existing mob, for continuity with the other undead variants
