New additions

• Added Dragonbane, a new katana from Skyrim having the Chain Lightning ability builtin and does 20 bonus damage to dragon entities, can be made with Netherite ingots or Dragon Bones from Ice & Fire (accepted material is inside soulsweapons:dragonbane_material item tag)
• Added Supernova, a spiky mace that does bonus durability damage to armor, has a chance to inflict fire post hit and has passive firethorns effect while holding it
  • Using it spawns Flame Pillars a short path leaving behind pools of Molten Metal that sets the targets in it on fire, disables shields and does 100 durability damage to it
  • Calculated Fall detonation spawns Flame Pillar ripples outwards with the amount based on fall distance
• Added Mehrunes' Razor, a new dagger that has a chance to deal bonus damage equal to the missing health of the target, with an additional very small chance to instantly kill the target
  • There is a blacklist of entities in the config that will make the razor unable to instakill those entities

• Added the Stormveil effect, making the wearer immune to Lightning damage and has a chance to inflict thorns lightning damage on targets hitting the wearer
• Added Bloodlust, a katana from Dark Souls 3 applying large amounts of bleed buildup and can be used to damage yourself, but also give you Strength 2 and Bloodthirsty effects, targets suffering Blood Loss around you while having this weapon in hand also gives you Strength

• Added the new Blight Carrier gun enchantment, making Silver Bullets apply stacking Blight effect on targets, increasing their damage taken based on their armor amount
• Added the new Frostsilver gun enchantment, making Silver Bullets apply strong Permafrost effect if the target Posture Breaks
  • Hitting a target with Posture Break effect while having Permafrost triggers the Ice Explosion early and removes the effect (together with the Posture Break since it triggers)
    • Note: Permafrost & other damage over time effects still trigger Posture Breaks!
• Added the new Phantom Trace gun enchantment, guns now fire additional copies of the main bullet that fly off after a delay, they do 50% damage, but has all other effects the main bullet has
  • Bullets with this enchant are rendered with a cyan overlay
• Added the new Tether gun enchantment, making Silver Bullets drag the target towards you if outside a certain range
• Added the new Ricochet gun enchantment, granting Silver Bullets the ability to bounce off of blocks with bounce amount based on enchant level
  • On contact with a block, the bullets will bounce off and:
    • have its speed reduced to max 1.5 speed
    • first try to target the mob the owner last attacked
    • if no mob was attacked recently, it will target the closest mob around it
    • if no mob is close, it will bounce off a random direction
  • A gun cannot have both Ethereal & Ricochet enchant

Item changes

• Bullets with Ethereal enchant are now rendered translucent
• Bullets now spawn Soul Fire Flame particles upon de-spawn

  • Bloodthirsty effect now increases bleed applied by the items: bleed = amplifier * originalBleed * 0.75
• Ultra Heavy weapons now apply Posture Loss on their own without the need for Stagger enchant
  • Posture Loss bonus modifier for those weapons when having Stagger enchant has been reduced from 2 to 0.9 due to this

  • Sword of Light now shoots wider projectiles that go through entities and walls, with the last slam & big projectile being replaced with the old Moonfall attack, summoning pillars of light along a path
  • Moonfall now summons 7 lines of light pillars every 45th degrees (except at 180 degrees) instead of just 1 ahead of the boss
  • Moonveil attack now starts with the Fallen Icon leaping towards its main target, then the AOE explosion triggers as he pierces the ground with his sword, with an additional delayed AOE coming after a short while like before
  • Core Beam has bigger range to trigger, higher explosion power and no longer destroys blocks
  • Heavy Swing attack summons a wider projectile that also goes through walls and entities

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug causing guns not to find stacks of Silver Bullets in inventory even though the player has enough, and now decrements correct amount as well
• Fixed a bug causing Posture Break to apply debuffs upon being cleared that don't ever wear off

Reworked Mechanics

• Reworked Posture Loss mechanic
  • Instead of max posture loss being flat 200 per entity, it now scales off of the size of the entity with a base posture unit the entity has
  • Entities have a posture loss resistance, reducing the amount of posture loss applied, or increase it if the value is negative
  • The base posture unit is universal in the config, but you can override this by making an "entitystats" datapack json file
  • The higher the base posture unit, the higher the max posture for the entity is, the base posture unit attribute gotten from some armor items also increase this
  • Entity stats files contain values such as bleed & posture loss buildup resistance, max posture loss, base posture loss unit for that entity and so on
  • The files representing the entities must be named after the entity and must be placed inside the folder "entitystats" inside the namespace the mob is from
  • Example: for the entity returning_knight, it needs to be inside data/soulsweapons/entitystats/returning_knight.json, while for the zombie it would be in data/minecraft/entitystats/zombie.json
  • Additionally, Posture Loss is reduced at a slower rate, being each 8th tick instead of 4th
  • Hitting an entity now displays the targets posture loss as its own bar
  • Added a client config where you can disable HUD elements, such as the target posture loss bar, or the players bleed/posture loss bars
  • Some bosses are more easily posture broken, while others are harder to break
  • As listed above, the guns have their posture loss applied buffed
  • Some armor sets give posture resistances (can be changed in config)
  • Posture Break now deals 5% of the targets max health as bonus damage
    • Added config lines for Posture Break damage
    • Base value was reduced to 2 against players and 6 against other mobs
• Reworked Bleed effect
  • It now works as a buildup, dealing damage as soon as the bar is filled up (just like in the Souls series), max bleed is still 200
    • Max bleed can be universally changed in config, but can also be changed for just one entity in the entitystats file with the line max_bleed
  • Skofnung when empowered now applies 60 bleed value with the bleed effect
  • Whirligig Sawblade applies 25 bleed each tick
  • Old Champion's Remains applies 100 bleed on some of the attacks that previously only applied the effect
  • Bleed buildup resistance reduces the buildup and is universally at 0, but can be changed for each entity by making an entity stats file mentioned above
  • Moonveil applies 25 bleed post hit
  • The damage is universally 6 + 10% max hp of the target, but this amount also varies depending on the mob's bleed damage resistance
  • Some bosses in the mod are weaker to bleed, while others are stronger against it
  • Some armor sets give bleed damage and buildup resistances (can be changed in config)
• Bosses and some mobs are now weaker/stronger against bleed and posture loss
  • Decaying King: Higher posture loss resistance; Very high bleed buildup resistance, but very low bleed damage resistance
  • Returning Knight: Weak to posture loss; Extremely high bleed resistance (both buildup and damage)
  • Old Champion's Remains: Very weak to posture loss; Extremely high bleed resistance
  • Frenzied Shade: Weak to posture loss; Immune to bleed
  • Fallen Icon: Weak to posture loss; Immune to bleed
  • Monarch of Chaos: Slightly resistant to posture loss; Immune to bleed
  • Day Stalker: Very high resistance against posture loss; Weak to bleed
  • Night Prowler: Highly resistant to posture loss; Slightly stronger against bleed
  • Withered Demon: Mildly resistant to posture loss; Very weak to bleed

Config changes

• Added velocity config lines for moonlight projectiles
• Added config lines for Lunar Herald amplifier and duration applied by the Lunar Ring (moonstone_ring)
  • Also changed config line moonlight_ring_projectile_cooldown to moonstone_ring_projectile_cooldown for consistency
• All int values in the config have been changed to floats
  • If you tried to change an int value to a float on a line that would not accept it (like 9 -> 9.5 on the Darkin Blade weapon damage line), the config would reset due to it thinking the value is invalid. To avoid confusion and reset, all previous int (whole number) lines has been changed to float, so decimals can be used for them. Most of them will still ignore the decimals like before.
• Added options to always see the item tooltip in the client config

Keybind changes

• Switched a few keybinds, I still encourage to switch these to a button that fits better for you
  • Parry: RIGHT ALT -> R
  • Return Freyr Sword: R -> Z
  • Stationary Freyr Sword: Z -> RIGHT ALT
• Added keybinds for showing item tooltip info and lore, these are unbound by default and when unbound will by default use SHIFT and CONTROL to display like usual
  • NOTE: Binding them to keys WILL override other keybinds so for example setting either to TAB will override the "show player list" function

1.4

NOTE: Deletion of config is required to get correct values loaded in!

Most of this update has been refactoring the code so that any weapon in the future can have any ability if compatible. This is in preparation for a system kind of like "Ashes of War" from Elden Ring, where you can add the abilities you want to different weapons (if compatible). This also means there might be new bugs with certain weapons I failed to catch, so do report them if you find any. Due to this restructuring, there aren't that many new additions compared to older big updates, except for the new upgrading system I hope you'll enjoy!

Additions

• Added Sword of the Nightlord
  • Switching to this weapon makes it apply a random on-hit effect post hit: bleed, poison, chain lightning, wither, permafrost, fire, cripple (slow & weakness & mining fatigue), magic damage, and lastly blight & decay
  • Attacking targets having either one of these effects deals bonus damage
  • Switching to this weapon gives you the Potency effect, making certain weapons (like this one) deal bonus damage for a few seconds
• Added Frost Buildup mechanic & entity stats
  • Leviathan Axe, Dark Moon Greatsword, Sword of the Nightlord (given right ability) and Frostmourne all apply Frost Buildup
  • Permafrost effect applies gradual Frost
  • At max Frost, Icicle AOE Explosion is triggered, damaging the main entity and others around it. Instead of the buildup being set to 0, it enters a cooldown state, gradually reducing the buildup from the max amount and where additional buildup added during cooldown is ignored
  • max_frost_buildup, frost_buildup_resistance and frost_damage_resistance have been added as options in the entitystats file
• Changed Permafrost effect slightly
  • Taking fire damage now removes Permafrost effect
  • Permafrost icicle explosion now damages nearby players too (not the main inflicter), and will no longer target allies of the inflicter
  • Increased the icicle explosion spread range slightly
• Added a new upgrading system with the Smithing Table
  • A new item Twinkling Titanite has been added, use it to upgrade items' stats, like damage and attack speed for melee and ranged weapons, or armor values for armor
  • These bonuses are added as recipes with the type "soulsweapons:smithing_item_upgrade", therefore making it possible to create own stat files for specific items or overwrite old ones
  • Items can be upgraded max 5 times, but can be changed in config
  • Added REI compatability for this system too
  • The bonuses depend on the item, for example bows and crossbows get ranged damage and draw speed, mining tools get mining efficiency and attack damage, armor gains armor and armor toughness, and so on... (default is just damage and attack speed for other items)
  • Weapons will now have ability damage, cooldowns, etc. scale off of "Upgrade Level" instead of enchants, therefore, config lines previously dictating what enchants made the weapons scale have been removed and replaced with _per_level instead
  • Many weapons have new bonuses based on the upgrade level, such as:
    • Moonlight Greatsword (and pure variant) shoot more projectiles based on upgrade level (3-7), and so does Bluemoon and the Master Sword
    • Holy Moonlight Greatsword have more pillars summoned based on level
    • Guns now gain infinity at upgrade level above 2
    • and more!
• Daggers now deal increased damage when performing the Posture Break critical hit, currently only Mehrunes Razor does this with 100% increase
• Soul Reaper summons get bonus health and attack damage based on the soul amount up to a max amount, can be changed in config
  • Soulmass' beam attack and sacrifice AOE explosion now scale off of generic attack damage attribute (which is increased by Soul Reaper)
• Overhauled the ability system on the legendary weapons. Also moved away from off-hand ability triggers since Better Combat doesn't allow off-handing heavy weapons. Many abilities have therefore changed to be either triggered when sneaking or with the keybind ability trigger
• Dragon Staff and Whirligig Sawblade has reduced cooldown based on the time used
• Veil of Fire effect no longer sets the user on fire (since it was kinda irritating to have constant fire on the HUD)
• Moved all boss config lines over to a new config file named soulsweapons_boss_config.json
• Added the Soul of Cinder status effect, another version of Strength that is only granted when the player is on fire, right now only through Guinsoo's Rageblade
• Lich Bane now always deal the bonus magic damage, regardless of % health left
• Changed Cape of Chaos
  • Ability keybind toggles whether the ground should be withered or not
  • The wither effect no longer applies to allies of the user
  • Removed config line chaos_cape_wither_ground in favor of the "disable use" one for the item
• Kraken Slayer Crossbow no longer scales off of Quick Charge due to the new upgrade system
• Enabled crafting for the Kraken Slayer Bow
• Added Echo effect, damage taken with it is saved then done back upon removal of it (damage is not applied if removed via commands or other abilities like via the Skofnung Stone)
• Added Resonance ability to Lich Bane, apply Echo effect post hit as long as the entity neither has it from before and the item is not on cooldown
• Added compatability with Soul Fire'd mod, Blazing Blade ability now scales off of Soul Fire Aspect and applies Soul Fire if the weapon has the enchantment

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug causing the posture loss, bleed and frost ui bars to overflow
• Fixed a bug causing weapons with dynamically changing attack damage and speed (i.e. Draugr during nightime, Mjølnir when raining, etc.) to have other attributes removed (like range from Better Combat)
• Fixed a bug causing Mehrunes Razor to deal less bonus missing health damage
• Fixed bugs preventing Rime Spectre from taking magic damage
• Rime Spectre emerges from the ground when not attacking anything
• Fixed bug preventing mobs from having the Decay effect
• Fixed a bug causing config line for projectile immunity for some bosses to not recognize full namespace
  • It now recognizes tags, full and only part of namespaces, such as "#minecraft:arrows" for tags and regular namespaces like "soulsweapons:moonlight_projectile" and "moonlight_projectile" will work

1.3.2

• Fixed bug preventing mobs from dropping items

  • Lines for enchant levels have been removed
