The Aether II

Additions:

• Effects System

• Added effect curative items: Antivenom Vial (Cockatrice Venom), Antidote Vial (Toxin), Bandage (Bleeding), and Splint (Fracture)

• Added Scatterglass Vials, craftable with 3 Scatterglass. They can be filled with water to make Water Vials for crafting into curative vials.

• Improved GUI overlay.

• Aechor Plants can inflict Toxin, Cockatrices can inflict Cockatrice Venom, Tempests can inflict Stun, Burrukais can inflict Fracture, and Varanys can inflict Freeze.

• Skyroot Poison Buckets inflict Toxin.

• Having an effect applied creates particles.

• Shields block status effects.

• Damage System

• Reworked the damage system from previous versions.

• There are three damage types: Slash, Pierce, and Impact.

• Different Aether weapons deal different damage types as detailed in their tooltips.

• Some mobs are weak to a damage type, meaning the weapon will deal more damage, and some mobs are strong to a damage type, meaning the weapon will deal less damage.

• If a mob is weak to a damage type, the attack will display critical hit particles in the color of the damage type.

• If a mob is strong to a damage type, the attack sound will be negated and a blocking sound will be played.

• Aether mobs are strong towards Vanilla damage, so Vanilla weapons will deal less damage to Aether mobs.

• Guard Break

• New effect applied when a player is attacked by an Aether mob while blocking with a shield.

• The effect doesn't decrease unless the player stops blocking.

• If the effect becomes active, it prevents the player from blocking.

• Better Crossbows

• Changed Crossbow mechanics to be more like 1.14, as in they no longer require the player to hold bolts in their offhand or left click to shoot.

• Added Scatterglass Shards, which can be crafted into a new bolt type: Scatterglass Bolts.

• Removed tiered Bolt types. Scatterglass Bolts are now the only type as damage is determined by the Crossbow tier.

• Improved Crafting Stations

• Reworked the GUIs for the Incubator, Icestone Cooler, and Masonry Bench.

• The Incubator is now much easier to use like its 1.7.10 counterpart.

• Added hopper support for Aether containers.

• The Icestone Cooler is now used for crafting teas and other cooling related recipes.

• Added Valkyrie Tea, a consumable that gives the player Saturation Boost (an effect that doubles saturation from foods eaten while the effect is active). It can be crafted with a Water Vial and Valkyrie Grass in the Icestone Cooler.

• Skyroot Water Buckets can be crafted with any Aercloud and a Skyroot Bucket in the Icestone Cooler.

• Highlands Ice can be crafted with a Skyroot Water Bucket in the Icestone Cooler.

• Implemented full functionality for gloves, including rendering, durability, and damage. They only apply damage with an empty hand.

• Improved the highlight color for Moa feathers.

• Moa Saddles are now crafted with Taegore Hide only.
