The Bracken Pack

APRIL UPDATE

4-8-24 Hotfix

-Fixed issue where players entering Brine would immediatly get teleported into the void.

Sanctum Changes

-Patron elected biome has been added to Sanctum. The toxic playa is a junkyard biome that includes abandoned anvils, trapdoors, buttons, cauldrons, lighting rods, hoppers, observers, daylight detectors, and other collectible blocks. This biome is a result of floating garbage patches that settled after Sanctum's oceans dried up.

-Giant anchor structure has been added to toxic playa biome.

-Features in the rubbleworks city biome have been reworked to look more city-like.

-Sanctum post structure now generates in the rubblework city biome.

-Sanctum marauders generate much more frequently in the rubblework city biome.

Glacium Changes

-Patron elected biome has been added to Glacium. During development, there were too many cool concepts to ignore, so I made two more.

The 3 new biomes added to Glacium are…

Destitute bastille: A city biome containing hostile mobs, lava pools, and blue fire pillars. Gathheim: An uninhabited biome completely covered in deep layers of powdered snow. Arctic knolls. A biome dotted with patches of thawing ice and plant life.

-Glacium platform structure added to destitute bastion biome. Useful for traveling large distances in Glacium, assuming you avoid any mobs that could knock you down.

General Dimension Improvements

-Pax biome distribution reworked to have smaller sized biomes.

-Brine biome distribution reworked to have smaller sized biomes.

-Added sunken ships structures to Glacium, Brine, and Panacea.

-Added ruined Nether portals to Glacium, Faewild, Underdark, and Sanctum.

-Removed mineshafts from the Brine. -Structures folder reorganized.

Book Buffs/Nerfs

-Adamantium will book has been reworked. Instead of applying wither it will deal 18 damage points to the user. This is to prevent spamming as the player will need to regen hearts before using again. The damage the book deals cannot be blocked by resistance effects. Resistance effect duration has been nerfed from 20 seconds to 15.

-Kill ability book has been reworked. Instead of applying effects it will summon a small death cloud that grants instant damage. This was done to nerf the strategy of using the book with a totem of undying to win every fight. Now, players holding a totem of undying will still die. The death cloud initially starts with a radius of one, but the cloud expands by one block every time a player gets killed by the cloud. If the kill book is used within a group of many, densely-packed players it can be absolutely devastating.

-Species beginner book now disappears after being used.

Texture Pack changes

-Missing Paxmaker sword texture restored.

-Paxmaker textures now display consistently across both vanilla and optifine use.

-Yoann added 14 new weapons textures and one new book texture. The dude’s a beast! New items expected soon.
