# Alpha 1.3.0 — The RPG Update A full progression overhaul built on a new stat system. - **RPG stats** driving damage, defense, mining, movement, minions and more - **Accessories** — 2 ring, 1 necklace & 1 backpack slot in your inventory (backpack adds storage, open with **B**; accessories drop on death) - **10 skills** — Mining, Running, Melee, Range, Magic, Summoning, Explosives, Vitality, Crafting & Gardening — leveled by playing, cap 100 - **80 talents** across 10 trees — press **K** to spend points; respec a tree for 3 XP levels - **Magic barrier** — a regenerating shield over your hearts - Golden crops, new accessory effects (on-hit fire/slow/slippery + immunities), and an admin `/newmod` command

# Music and Magic — Alpha 1.2.0 Two brand-new gameplay systems land in Core Keeper Fabric: a full **magic system** with mana, ten new spell weapons and six summoning tomes, plus a **music system** featuring six instruments and puzzle dungeons sealed behind musical Melody Gates. ## Magic System A new **mana** resource sits above your hunger bar — 20 mana, 10 purple-moon icons, regenerates after 3 seconds without spending. Mana persists through death, save/load, and dimension changes. ### Staves & Scimitar (10 new weapons) - **Simple Staff** — reliable blue magic orbs - **Sticky Stick** — slows enemies on hit - **Arcane Staff** — rapid-fire purple bolts - **Fireball Staff** — tap for a fireball, charge for an explosive one - **Scholar's Staff** — hard-hitting light orbs; charged shot fires three at once - **Sun Caller** — light orbs that explode on impact - **Chaos Staff** — random projectile from a pool of 8, never the same fight twice - **Noxious Meteor Staff** — summon a meteor from above; chance to poison - **Corrupted Meteor Staff** — bigger meteor, no poison, pure destruction - **Zealot's Scimitar** — a magic-damage melee blade that drains mana per hit All staves have a **tap** and a **hold-to-charge** attack. Charged attacks come with a movement-slowdown tradeoff. ### Tomes & Minions (5 new + 1 returning) Summon allies to fight alongside you — bats, fire mites, plant guardians, skeletons, jellyfish, and radioactive hands. Each tome costs mana to summon. You can have up to **3 minions at once across all types** — summoning a fourth replaces the oldest. Floating minions automatically space themselves around you so they don't overlap. ## Music System ### Instruments Six new handheld instruments, each tuned to a different vanilla noteblock sound: - **Cello** - **Drumkit** - **Flute** - **Harp** - **Ocarina** - **Pocket Piano** **Hold right-click** to enter playing mode. Your hotbar keys **1–7** become note keys spanning a chromatic scale; **Shift** or **Ctrl** shifts the range one octave up or down for 21 notes total. Release right-click to exit. ### Melody Gates A new puzzle entity: the **Melody Gate** is a 4×2 indestructible barrier sealing the entrance to a dungeon. Play the correct melody with any instrument while standing near it — the gate glows, then shatters and lets you through. The first variety listens for **E F G E D C D** (keys `3-4-5-3-2-1-2`). Hint: the gate's face shows a five-line musical staff. Play a wrong note and you're shut out until you release and re-enter playing mode — then try again. ## New Structures Scattered across the overworld: - **Ancient Gateway Ruins** *(rarest)* — crumbling ruins around a great gateway - **Dirt Melody Room 1 & 2** *(rare)* — sealed chambers behind Melody Gates; bring an instrument - **Turf Ruins** *(common)* — small overgrown ruins, good early-game loot All four feature chests with a new dirt-cave loot table. ## Fixes & Quality of Life - Minions now **physically collide** instead of stacking on top of each other at your feet - Turf Chest structures finally **populate their loot** (they were silently empty in 1.1.0) - Mana HUD hides automatically in Creative and Spectator modes ## Compatibility - **Minecraft:** 1.21 - **Mod Loader:** Fabric (loader 0.16.14+) - **Fabric API** required - **Save-compatible** with Alpha 1.1.0 worlds — no breaking changes Thanks for playing!
