RaolCraft Ω Official Page

I mean, an incomplete version that fixes critical issues is better than a "stable" one with tons of bugs XD

After a long break, 2.3, the first RaolCraft update of the decade, is finally out! It really took a long time (there were a few issues), but I hope it was worth the wait.

It doesn't really add much actually, but it fixes some very important bugs that made the mod unplayable, as well as reintroducing ore dictionary (this time for almost every material!), adding a few new mobs, a few new blocks, changing many textures, tweaking many things and introducing, for the first time ever in one of my mods... STAIRS AND SLABS!!! Yay! Finally! XD

Anyway, here's the complete changelog (wait, don't go away, there also are a few announcements at the end of this comment XD):

2.3 - New Decade Update - 5/2/2020 - 2205 mod elements

+Reintroduced ore dictionary support: now almost every material has at least one ore dictionary tag

+16 new stairs and 16 new slabs

+Amber Bricks, Sprout Amber Bricks

+Jellyghast

A new flying ranged monster which can be found in the water dimension. Attacks players and coralmites.

+Hydruid

The cousin of the Summoner who lives in the water dimension. Summons coralmites, attacks players and jellyghasts and has a frost walker ability

+Rockwood Log, Planks, Slabs and Stairs

+Crystalline Leaves

Come in 3 different colors

+Reintroduced the Terra WarHammer in a new form

Now it no longer is a (kind of) ranged weapon but a tool that can be used to break stone or earthstone blocks or (more importantly) to deal massive damage at a very slow attack speed

+Huge Amber Block

+Frozen Fossil

There's something buried in the ice... Smelt it in an Infernal Furnace to get a random reward! (this block can rarely be found replacing ice in the Eternal Cold dimension)

+Dreary Dirt, Dreary Grass

Found in the swamp sub-biome of the Flora dimension

+Arcane Silence

A negative status effect which prevents the use of Wands and can't be removed by drinking milk - still WIP though

+Guardian T-Shirt

+A few new advancements

+And more!

~The Flora Totem/Amulet can now also make you slowly regenerate hunger under the sunlight or in the Flora dimension

~Crypcuses now apply Arcane Silence and Mana Overload to their targets

~Raolcraft tools and armors can now be repaired in a anvil using the material they are made of

~Gravestones do now automatically randomly summon undeads based on the biome/dimension there're in (there also is a new secret undead which can be only summoned this way); Basic Wands now trigger this ability when right-clicked rather than just summoning a vanilla Zombie

~Water does now evaporate in the Magma Forest

~Changed many many textures

~Done a few other tweaks

! The Dark Emperor couldn't be summoned

! The Dark Emperor didn't create a return portal on death

! Growing Bushes were considered solid

! Fixed many bugs

Unfortunately, a lot of the content this update adds is still WIP. I will try to introduce a few of these incomplete features in the next patches (there will probably be one patch per feature to be quicker XD).

Also, this will probably be the last major update for 1.12.2. The next MCreator version will drop support for it, so will RaolCraft. But since it could take a while to update all the features to the Village and Pillage update (many things have to be completely redone, including textures), RaolCraft will probably be the last mod of mine to get upgraded. The order will probably be this: The Ultimate Plan first, followed by Pyromancy, Modular Expansion, Hodge-Podge and RaolCraft.

Also, next week be prepared for a few little updates to Pyromancy and maybe Modular Expansion too, they were abandoned for too long! And let's not forget Hodge-Podge will also get a new dimension, the Taint, in the next version (which I started to work on even earlier than RaolCraft 2.3 XD)

Last news for today, the Hodge-Podge age will probably no longer exist and all mods updates will be cycled as earlier. Also, probably just after all my mods will be updated to 1.14, I will finally start working on Event Horizon, my next sci-fi mod! :D

And that's all friends, good night/morning/afternoon (based on the time zone XD) and stay safe! ;)

Don't worry, I will upload it there soon too :)

Wow, that's awesome! :D

And I yet have to traslate it in Italian... XD

Thank them for me :)

THAT'S THE POWER OF ORE DICTIONARY! XD

(I think I will have to change those old Raolcraft 3 textures because they look weird... Maybe after updating to 1.14)

Anyway, should I do an 1.14 update then a 1.15 one or directly update to the most recent version (after releasing the final 1.12 updates obviously)?

Well, you are actually right, I will just have to be careful to not choose honey in the recipes :)
