1.3.0

Hard Mode Official Release

In the works for months, here is the official release of Hard Mode!

Thought the original bosses were too easy? Chug a bad omen bottle! You are in for a bad time, however...

For full changes, look through the pre-release change log

Changes since 1.3.0 pre-6

General Changes

• All vanilla chat commands are overwritten by my plugin to stop Microshit's chat reporting.
• You can no longer farm infinite XP by disenchanting custom items.
• Further support for DiscordSRV features

Armor Overhaul (again)

• Completely removed Armor Toughness as a stat.
• Only Armor is effective now. Armor below 15 points uses the standard 1.8 formula of -4% damage per point. Armor above 15 points uses a new formula: 1.0 / (1.0 + 0.00014666 * Math.pow(armor, 3.409));
• Full Netherite armor is 25 armor points, with the chestplate getting +2 bonus points over Diamond and the rest of the armor getting +1. This leads to around 89.5% damage reduction.
• SkyBlock armor now uses this system as well, with the following:
  • Elytra: 0 --> 4
    • Dev note: This is to prevent Elytra not completely demolishing your EHP while still making you a lot more vulnerable to damage
  • Goldor Pants: 6 --> 7.5
  • Maxor Boots: 3 --> 4.5
  • Necromancer Lord Pants: 6 --> 7
  • Necron Elytra: 8 --> 10
  • Primal Dragon Chestplate: 8 --> 10.5

1.3.0 pre-1

NEW

Hard Mode & Normal Mode Bosses

• Custom Bosses have had a large rework, adding a clear separation between the regular version and an extremely difficult version.
  • Note: Normal Mode is intended to be doable with vanilla Netherite gear and lower-tier custom items (e.g. Wand of Restoration, Holy Ice). They are intended to be a stepping stone between vanilla gear and the more powerful custom items (e.g. Terminator).
  • Note: Hard Mode was balanced around the custom items. If you can easily kill the Hard Mode bosses with vanilla gear, good job.
  • Note: The Wither Lords have already had this distinction since 1.2.0.
• To summon a boss in Hard Mode, drink a Bad Omen potion.
• Each Bad Omen potion allows you to summon exactly one Hard Mode boss before the effect wears off.
• More advancements have been added

Hard Mode Bosses

Primal Dragon

• Good luck
• Normal mode dragons with bonus HP/damage/healing have had those bonus stats scaled back

Atoned Horror

• Normal mode renamed to Revenant Horror and is much easier
• Atoned Horror has gained a new attack

Necromancer Lord Leggings

• Gives more damage than Goldor Leggings but less survivability.

Gyrokinetic Wand

Creative Mode Menu

• /getopitems was not quite cutting it with all the new items being added, so it now gives you a cool Creative Menu Nether Star.

1.2.0

For differences between v1.1.1 and v1.2.0, please see the release notes of all the previous pre-releases for 1.2.0.

Changes below are from between 1.2.0 pre-5 and the full release

Balance Changes

• Attribute.ARMOR is only effective up to 15 points
• Attribute. ARMOR_TOUGHNESS is now always effective
• Attribute.ARMOR_TOUGHNTESS reduces damage 10% --> 5% per point

The reasoning behind this change is that using an elytra under the old system completely demolished your EHP, reducing it by over five times. Under this new system, using an elytra still reduces your EHP, but it only reduces your EHP by about 2.2 times.

In addition, this change reduces the overall effectiveness of armor. This will make the game harder for now, but future patches will address this.

• Armor durability damage per hit minimum reduced 1 --> 0.25 (i.e. without Unbreaking, each armor piece has a 25% chance to take durability damage when taking a hit)

Other Changes

• Attempted to remove the "Too Expensive" from anvils, again
• Fixed lethal bed damage on Ender Dragons not properly crediting the nearest player with the kill
• Fixed Superior Dragon not dropping the Remnant of the Superior Dragon

1.2.0 pre-5

Bug Fixes

• Fixed literally every item breaking when hitting an entity
• Fixed Holy Dragons spawning as Young Dragons
• Fixed Llama spit throwing errors

Balance Change

• Normal armor points once again reduce damage 3.75% --> 4% per (-75% --> -80% with full diamond)
