Items

Flight Speed Upgrade

The Flight Speed Upgrade has been completely reworked. Previously, it used a fixed base value that applied to every flying mob, which caused major inconsistencies. For example, bees became extremely slow, while ghasts moved very fast. The upgrade now adapts dynamically to each entity’s default flight speed and increases it by a percentage-based value, resulting in balanced and consistent performance for all flying entities.

• Speed Multiplier: +60%

Music Discs

Before this update, the music discs were not true music discs in code but rather regular items that poorly imitated their behavior. They have now been properly implemented as real Music Disc items, allowing them to function exactly like their Vanilla counterparts. This change also resolves all previous inconsistencies and related bugs.

Entities

Overheated CPU

A friend and I held a small contest in which each of us created a custom boss. My entry, the Overheated CPU, is now available in the game and can be spawned in Creative Mode. There is a good chance it will be officially integrated into the mod in the future, as I am very happy with the result. However, be careful — this boss is extremely difficult, so make sure to bring strong gear and a shield!! In the version currently available on Modrinth, its soundtrack does not play.

Bugs / Tech

• Flight Speed Upgrade was missing in the Inventory | fixed!
• Advancement "Flamebound Relict" is missing it's "t" (Flamebound Relic in the game) | Will be fixed next update

Future

The next update will include a small Halloween event, although it will not be as large as originally planned since I am currently working on several other mods at the same time. Nevertheless, it will still be a fun and exciting event to play. After that, we will see what comes next, the general plans have already been explained.
