## Compound V Refabricated 2.4.0 — Minecraft 1.20.1 (Fabric) A major update: critical bug fixes, a full balance pass, a new HUD and new visual effects. ### ⚠️ Before updating - Powers were never actually saved in 2.3.5, so in existing worlds every player will roll a new random power on their first join after updating. - Laser heat settings in the config are reset to the new defaults. ### ✨ New - **Power HUD** in the top-left corner: icon, name, cooldown bars for both abilities, heat gauge, buff timers and the Temp V countdown. Bars flash and a chime plays when an ability is ready. - **Secondary ability key `G`**: many powers now have a second ability. - **New beams**: soft glow, white-hot core, muzzle and impact flares, jagged lightning, webs, energy rings on chest blasts, flamethrower particles. - **Screen effects**: charge ring around the crosshair, screen tint for overheat, rage and power suppression. - **Powers that used to do nothing now have real abilities**: - Telekinesis: grab a creature and throw it - Spider: wall climbing and a web-zip - Slime: bounce instead of taking fall damage - Atomic Charge: hold the key to build up the charge - Virus: infect with punches or a toxic cloud - Starlight: charges energy in bright light - Head Pop: keep your eyes on the target to pop it - …and more - **Temp V** is now actually temporary (5 minutes), then your previous power comes back. - **Virus Arrows** work with bows and dispensers and apply the contagious Virus V effect. - **`/powers info`** is available to every player. For admins, power names now tab-complete, and `/powers reload` and `/powers player <name> cooldowns` were added. - Full **English and Russian** translations; the guide book follows each player's game language. ### ⚖️ Balance - No power grants full invulnerability anymore (some used to give Resistance V). - Soldier Boy suppresses players' powers for 5 minutes instead of forever. - Power damage against players is reduced (×0.6, configurable). Respects the server PvP setting and team friendly fire. - Lasers: 4 s of heat, 8 s overheat (both configurable). - Drugs appear in 25% of loot chests instead of every one. V1 only appears in Ancient Cities and End Cities. - New Virus Arrow recipe: 8 arrows surrounding a Virus V Vial → 8 Virus Arrows. ### 🐛 Fixes - Powers, locks, bans and cooldowns are **saved with the world** and survive server restarts. - Holding the key no longer spams the server, and flight no longer toggles on and off by itself. - Lasers no longer break chests or other important blocks. All block damage respects `mobGriefing`, spawn protection and Adventure mode. - Milk and `/effect clear` no longer remove your power permanently. Powers no longer wipe potions, beacon effects or flight granted by other mods. - Teleport and Black Noir's shadow step no longer put you inside walls. - Abilities no longer hit through walls or pick random creatures. - Fixed the key category names in Controls, config file encoding, and a broken recipe that logged an error on world load. ### ⚙️ Config New options in `config/compound_v_fabric.json`: - block damage from powers and whether powers affect players - Temp V and Soldier Boy suppression durations - chance of drugs in loot chests - random power and guide book for new players - HUD position and screen effects - replacing the main menu logo
