Unicopia Beta 18 for Minecraft 1.19.2

Changelog

• Updated to 1.19.2 (not compatible with 1.19.0 or 1.19.1)
• Fixed crash at startup due to obfuscation issues
• Made wheat and hay blocks edible. Closes #57
• Nerfed the food poisoning effect
• Added a registry for races
  • This means some previously saved races might be lost by the transition. Back up your worlds, people!
  • For modders, you can now add your own races. I can't guarantee everything will look correct with more than the default number of races, though.
• Ensure all of the registries are initialised when they're supposed to be
• Rebalanced the metamorphosis potions
• I've adjusted both the strengths of the visual effects and increased the duration before the metamorphosis completes.
• The potion will no longer cause damage when changing between phases so the player is less likely to die before the potion effect has completed. It will drop your health to one heart and keep it there, though, so players should avoid immediate danger whilst using the effect.

Unicopia Beta 14 for Minecraft 1.18.X

Be sure to back up your worlds before loading this version!

A lot of things changed which may make older saves incompatible. I've tried to make sure nothing breaks permanently, but there's always the chance of something being messed up. Any active or cast spells especially might be lost when upgrading because the whole system for how spells placed in the world has been changed.

Changelog

• Updated to 1.18

Items

• Added custom lightning particle affects to the lightning in a jar and zap apples
• Spells will now respect spawn protection and mob griefing rules when trying to affect the world
• Bangle of Comradery and amulets now render on pony models

Pegasi

• Fixed rubberbanding when flying in multiplayer
• Tweaked wall collission detection to make flying a little less harmful
• Pegasi will now play a sound when they drop a feather
• Added advancements for various things pegasi can do

Earth Ponies

• Earth ponies can now brace themselves by sneaking. Bracing can be used to reduce damage and knockback in some situations.
• Added pebbles, rocks, and rock stew
  • Earth ponies can now plant and grow rocks. You can harvest the rocks to get pebbles, and use the pebbles to make rock stew, a nutricious and delicious substitute for beetroot.
• Added weird rocks
  • They don't do much, but they sure do look weird

Unicorns

• Majorly reworked the magic system
  - Spells can now be modified using different traits (see below)
  - Unicorns can now have more than one spell active at a time
  - Placed spells will no longer cancel when the player dies of leaves the world
  - Unicorns now have a main and off-hand spell slot where they can equip different spells.
  • Right-click with a gem in your main-hand to equip it to your main slot
  • Right-click with a gem in your off-hand to equip it to your second slot
• Added the spell book, spell crafting, and discovery
  • Spells are now crafted by combining a gem with items with certain traits in the spell book
  • Every item in the game has its own traits that can be used to create a different kind of spell, however which items have what traits will take some trial and error crafting them together in the spellbook.
  • Every time you craft a spell, the traits your discover are unlocked in the spellbook and the traits for the items used will become visible when you hover over them in your inventory.
  • Spells can have more than their base traits, and adding extra traits like more power or strength can be used to change the behaviour of a spell
• Added detailed descriptions for all spells and tweaked the colours and display of spell descriptions

Abilities

• Removing spells is now done using a separate ability
  • The tertiary ability slot now contains an ability to clear spells.
  • Tapping once will open a gui that lets you visualise and remove specific spells
  • Tapping twice will clear all your active spells
  • Holding will clear whatever place spell you're looking at
• The main cast ability is now used only for placing spells, and will place the spell in your main-slot
• The secondary cast ability is moved to the second page of the primary slot and is only used to shoot spells as projectiles
  • Tapping once will fire a projectile like before using the spell in your off-hand slot
  • Holding will fire the spell in your main-slot
  • Spells fired in this way are no longer affected by gravity (makes aiming easier)
  • Spells are now rendered as beams of magic, rather than the janky old flying item

Changelings

• Changelings can no longer transform into paintings or item frames

Entities

• Added Twittermites (used for the light spell)

Traits

• Added the /trait command
  • Mainly for debug purposes, this command can be used to add or remove traits on an item stack

New Spells

Dark Vortex Spell

When placed, this spell will create a small blackhole that will gradually consume anything that gets near. The more the blackhole consumes, the larger it will grow and the faster it will generate mana for the caster

• When fired from a projectile, will spawn a black hole where it lands

Firebolt Spell

This spell produces a series of fireballs that harms entities. They're also semi-intelligent and will try to follow a specific target. You can customise the number of fire-balls and the amount of damage they deal by tweaking the amount of strength and power traits included in the spell.

Light Spell

The light spell is a simple utility that summons several small lights (twittermites) that emit a dim glow. The mites will follow the player for as long as the spell is active, and dissapear when the spell ends.

Catapult Spell

Catapult can be used to throw blocks and entities in the air, or to push them away from yourself when they are already in the air. It's default form is quite weak, but the force used to push entities and blocks can be increased by crafting it with more of the power trait.

Changed Spells

• Removed curses and their respective spells that were just duplicates of existing ones

Resurrection Spell

The resurrection spell has been completely reworked. Mobs spawned by this spell will act as minions, protecting the player who cast the spell that spawned them and attacking other hostile mobs.

• You can recognise minions by their distinctive blue glow.
• Minions are not able to leave the spell's area of effect, and when the spell is ended, the minions will be recalled with a small chance of some being left behind as stragglers.

Ice Spell

If you're currently submerged, the ice spell will clear out an air-pocket around the player.

Additionally, the ice spell will now:

• Create frosted ice instead of regular ice to prevent permanent damage to player's worlds
• Create frosted obsidian instead of regular obsidian for the same reason

Animations

Several abilities are now accompanied by appropriate animations, like when kicking a tree or stomping. I've tried my best to adjust these animations to work both for the human and pony models, however some (like the stomp animation) may only be noticeable when using a pony model)

• Added the /emote command
  • Use this command to play all of the animations included with the mod.
  • Available animations include: waving, raising your arms above your head, pointing forward, stomping and kicking, or wolololo

HUD

• Ability slots are less likely to appear empty
  • If the primary slot does not have an ability, the passive slot will display and be used, and visa-versa.
• Changed icons for unicorn's spell throwing abilities

Sounds

• All sounds in the mod now have accurate subtitles and can be replaced by resourcepacks without affecting vanilla sounds

Bugs Squashed

Changelog

Magic Artefacts

Thought the Crystal Heart was the only thing we were going to add! Well, ha HAH! Think again!

The latest new advancement in unicorns' arsenal are the Wings of Icarus. Crafted from two golden wings and a gemstone, anyone who wears this amulet will be able to soar with the pegasi! You even get a pair of golden wings to boot!

Just be careful that you don't run out of charge. You may need a unicorn friend or two to fill it with magic when you run out.

Golden Wings can be obtained by crating together 9 golden feathers, and golden feathers can be crafted using either a gryphon feather or a pegasus feather surrounded by gold nuggets.

Oh, and gemstones can be crafted using gem shards done in a square. Yes, the same gem shard you use to make the crystal heart!

Magic Spells

Unicorns will now be able to cast a variety of different spells, rather than their base ones, by holding a gemstone in their inventory whilst activating either their primary or secondary abilities. They can only focus on casting on spell at a time, though, so if you have a shield up you will predictably have to first cancel the shield.

There are a few spells to try, though only some of them have been properly polished for the new implementation. Those ones are:

Necromancy Spell

A dark spell that will summon an endless stream of the undead that will indiscriminately attack anyone within sight. Useful as a last resort if you ever become outnumbered, or if you're feeling particularly evil place it in your friend's base and watch them squeel.

pssst, earth ponies - The spell dies if you kill the owner, and when the necro spell is cancelled it will despawn every entity it summoned.

Siphoning Spell

The siphoning spell can be found with either a light or dark version and each one functions slightly differently, however they both deal with the same thing: One of them gifts health to entities in its effect range, and the other steals health and delivers it to whoever cast it.

Just don't abuse this one, because it can get... temperamental.

Fire, Burning, and Inferno Spells

These spells embody varying degress of the fire element. One of them is innert, the other simply scorches the earth, and the final one channels the very essence of the nether to manifest it in the overworld (and does the opposite when used in the nether!)

Pegasi

• Pegasi now have physical wings that flap when they fly
• Added Wings of Icarus
• Added Pegasus and gryphon feathers
• Added Golden Feather
• Added Golden Wing
• Pegasi will now drop pegasus feathers while flying, or you can find gryphon feathers in mineshafts and woodland mansions
• Feathers float to the ground gently when dropped, like a feather would!
• Wings on the Mine Little Pony model will now animate according to when the player flaps (requires latest MineLP version)

Earth Ponies

• Fixed ground pound not working correctly in inverted gravity
• Fixed ground pound not triggering/being delayed when the player falls very small distances #29

Bugs Squashed

• Fixed hud elements appearing on the pause screen when the hud should normally be hidden
• Fixed crash when spawning the unused raindrops particle
• Fixed exception when receiving capabilities for an invalid/dead player
• Fixed mana cost for cast spells not being passed on to the player
• Fixed cast ability not having proper fail conditions
