You can expect more playable content in the next update. If you'd like to know more or catch on with upcoming updates more frequently, come over to the discord modding forums!

A New Shine

--- A calm shore featuring underwater cracks with bubbling hot rock on the side. Above, the new bog biome showcases its distinctive trees and plant life.

Lots and lots of new stuff added, changed, and experimented with. I hope you'll love this update as much as I do! WARNING: This version of the mod and continuing forward, will not be compatible with the older versions. Thank you

Changes

Im going to talk about the updates that are semi-completed. There are features you'll find in the mod that are just unfinished.

• Gone through the Trello board and absolutely jam-pack it with loads of plans
• New Trees! Includes the types: Dead, Bog, Pine and more that you'll have to discover yourself ;P
• New Ores! Both Chlorophyte and Aquamarine has been added with their respective items. Chlorophyte bring a plant-like ore that will be designed to spawn in mud, while Aquamarine will mainly spawn underwater.
• New Plants/Deco! Added ferns (WIP) and Bog Trees.
• New Refreshed Textures! A lot of textures have been reworked or given a paint job to get a more nicer/cleaner style. Specifically water versions of tiles, shorestone recolor, basalt flooring redone, and CATTAILS!!! Also as you've probably noticed, new logo and banner as well!
• New bubbling magma and hotrock water tiles as well as fogging algae waters! Really brings the atmosphere together :)
• Do you know how much I love the new cattails design? Well im going to brag it here. They're amazing and a big step in the right direction for plants. They look cute and harmless. I might make a pink version who knows ;D
• New Core! Although still WIP, the idea is there. Sprites are probably going to change heavily in the future.
• New Planet! I put this quite low because its still very WIP and looks terrible. Its just mostly a placeholder. Also the moon is just a test, not like it will actually exist.
• New Weathers! Not much, but added heavy rain (needs work) and plans for thunder to come soon.
• Many of the decorations are now able to be placed when editing a map in-game. Will plan to have all decorations placable in editor in-game.
• CODE CLEANUP!! A lot of the codebase has been cleaned and organized. This will make it much easier for me to edit and add new features in the near future. I will say again, this version of the mod is not compatible with older releases.
• Removed Herobrine

Wrapping it up

If you liked this update, please star this repo! Thanks! Anyways, if there's any suggestions that you'd like to see come to this mod, please don't refrain from telling me! I'd love to hear your thoughts! See y'all in the next update :)

New stuff

--- i'll be commenting on all future scenes, starting with this image, for you. Here, we have an attack on our Thermal generators, on the side of a rocky, controlled, beach.

Many new blocks and decorations to fulfill your world. I must remind you that this mod doesn't have any playable content yet, all beta releases will probably be for sandbox use only...

Changes

uhhhh, may have forgotten every change, but here's the biggest points:

• Elm tree (autumn trees), including its leaves overlay tile and leafy tiles.
• Blossom tree (cherry pink trees), including its leaves overlay tile and leafy tiles.
• New basalt tiles and boulders (large and normal sized)
• New shorestone tiles and boulders (same stuff as above)
• Updated regular living trees, might update it again in the future
• Added taiga grass (no use yet, as in no trees or deco to go with the tile)
• A lot of reference images for the future added on the sprites/blocks/props/junkyard/ directory (i need to credit those!1!)
• WIP sandy shrubs
• WIP bushes, they kind of blend too much in the grassy tiles.
• and a whole lot to tweaking in the code and sprites (specifically leaning towards the shadows)
• Removed Herobrine

Thing

Yea, development had slowed down significantly. When was the last time I released a beta? Idk. But please don't worry, I'm planning some interesting features. Well, actual playable stuff. For the (maybe, hopefully) next beta release. Also, exams have ended, so I have more time to work on this project! yippie!

Rework

Tons of stuff reworked and more. No "playable" content yet for actual gameplay so stay tuned for that.

Blocks, turrets, ores, and more stuff will be added later. Right now, I'm working on building the atmosphere of the mod and adding some funky plants to better the theme I'm going for.

Changes (instead of Additions and Removed content)

• Quartz and its machineries are shelved for the future. Not ready to deal with them but i have my plans (see trello board)
• Lilypads added, large and small. Inspired by Lixie's work on her mod Allure. Go check it out here.
• Living trees revamped and perfected (maybe). Now sways with the wind and have some cool details.
• Ash and Charred Tree variants also added.
• Shrubs (formerly known as bushes, trust me i'm making bushes different) added.
• Experimental cattails added, WIP.
• Tropical water tiles along with its deep variant added.
• Dacite & Sand tropical water variants too.
• Algae water added, deep variant aswell.
• Technical stuff worked on (maybe inefficient).
• Removed Herobrine.

Lets talk

Thanks for the modding community for all the guidance I've learnt to get to this point. I'm excited to struggle, create, and showcase future releases and updates to this mod for everyone to enjoy.
