More Colorful

# 21.0.16-beta - Added 3 new Frog variants. - Added Dragonflies. Normally, they can only spawn in river and swamp biomes in sunny days. However, they can spawn rapidly in most biomes when it's going to rain. They also have multiple colors. - Added Birds. They have many variants and different sound effects, and can spawn in many biomes. They act like parrots, can be tamed and sit on the player's shoulder. But they cannot imitate other mob's sound. - Added Pigeons. They are special birds and can be used to deliver mails. Use an mail to your own tamed pigeon, and it will send the mail to the specified mailbox depending on the recipient of the mail. The sending distance usually doesn't play a big role in this process. - Added Letters. Use paper, feather and ink sac to craft a Paper and Quill. Just like the Book and Quill, you can edit it, but it only supports 5 pages at most. Then sign the paper, and it becomes a Letter. - Added Envelopes and Mails. Use paper to craft envelopes. Use the envelope to open the gui, where you can put in a letter (or paper and quill) and an attachment item, or you can also leave it blank. Then write your recipient's name and confirm, and the envelope becomes a mail. To maintain secrecy, a mail can only be opened by its sender or recipient. If a mail lacks both then anyone can open it. Dispensers can automatically open the mail, only if the sender and recipient are all empty. - Added Mailboxes, with every type of wood. They have 9 slots and are the terminal of posting system. Pigeons try to put mail into it. If the mailbox is full, the mail will be dropped as an item entity. Usually the mailbox's name would be consistent with its owner (the player who placed it down), but renaming it can change that, which may make a difference to the pigeon delivering.

# 21.0.15-beta - Added Butterflies and Moths. They naturally spawn in many biomes, with diverse variants. They are ambient mobs, mainly intended to add atmosphere. They belong to arthropods. - They can be attracted and fed with flowers. When breeding, they spawn caterpillars. - Butterflies are diurnal while moths are nocturnal. They fly around randomly, finding flowers and rest from time to time. - Moths have a bias to fly towards light sources. - Added Caterpillars. They are the baby form of Butterflies or Moths. After a while, they will form a cocoon. - Added Coccon. A block similar to sniffer egg, can hatch butterflies or moths. It drops nothing if without silk touch. - Added Bug Net. A tool can be used to catch small mobs, such as bees, butterflies, moths, and caterpillars. The caught mob items act like spawn eggs, using it to release the mob. - Angry bees or bees that have lost their stingers cannot be caught. - Added Smoke Bombs (with 16 colors). Can be thrown to release dense colored smoke on impact. The smoke makes angry bees calm down, and reduces the range of being detected for mobs in it. - Added Straw Hat. Can be crafted with wheats or found in chests of plains village. Basically a leather cap with less durability. - Added Beekeeping Hat. Similar to straw hat, but wearing it can protect you from bee stinging and make bees keep their stingers. - Added 3 new villager professions: - Beekeeper (work station: beehive), trading about flowers, honeycombs, honey bottles, bees, butterflies, moths and beekeeping hats. - Pyrotechnician (work station: pyrotechnics table), trading about gunpowers, sparklers, firework stars, firework rockets, bombs and firework shape templates. - Paper Artisan (work station: papercraft table), trading about paper, cardboards, confetti, party poppers, paper toys and papercuttings. - Added new profession huts for the 3 new professions in village. - Now in windy days, zombies, skeletons and creepers may spawn with balloons attached to them and fall from sky. - Fixed a bug that sometimes placing down a heat source doesn't change the temperature.

# 21.0.14-beta - Added Kite. Crafted by paper, sticks and lead. - Right click to release the kite. Then right click to unreel the kite, right click + shift to reel the kite. - Kite can be dyed. Similar to the umbrella, 5 sections of kite can be dyed separately. - A ribbon can be also attached to the kite (via crafting). Use shears to the kite to remove the ribbon. - When it's windy, baby villagers sometimes may fly kites. - Baby villagers now have bigger heads. (Can be turned off in config) - Added Creeper Balloon, Heart Balloon, Star Balloon and Rabbit Balloon. - Added Pyrotechnics Table, which provides a simpler way to craft firework rockets and firework stars. - Added Firework Shape Templates. Used on the Pyrotechnics Table to add shape effect to Fireworks stars. Templates won't be consumed. - Added 8 new firework shape: Cube, Heart, Planet, Jellyfish, Clock, Axis, Tetrahedron and Hyperboloid. - Added Cardboard and Cardboard block.

Similar to the ordinal umbrella, but with less durability.

# 21.0.13-beta - Added Pennants (with 16 colors). Crafted by stick and wool. They are purely ornamental blocks, and they sway and flutter in the wind. - Added Umbrella, a multi-purpose tool, which is crafted by 2 ticks and 3 leathers. - Right click to open the umbrella, and shift + right click to close it. - Holding an open umbrella can slow down the falling speed, reduce falling damage and increase the windage (makes entity easier to be pushed by the wind). - An open umbrella can protect the entity from most threats above. Including: melee attack, most projectiles, splash potions, fishing hooks, falling blocks and so on. However, this will damage its durability. When an attack is successfully blocked by umbrella, it will make a "Umbrella blocks" sound. - Holding an open umbrella can also protect the holder and any entity below from the sunlight and rain. - Similar to the shield, umbrella can be disabled by warden or axe melee attack. In this case, the umbrella can't be used to block damage for 5 seconds, but the "falling damage reduction" is still in effect. - The player can use a shield while holding an umbrella. When blocking an attack, the umbrella always takes priority over the shield. - The umbrella can be dyed. The canopy is divided into 8 sections, and each section can be dyed separately. Each section can be dyed into one of the 16 dye colors. Use an dyed umbrella on the cauldron with water can wash all the dye off. An dyed umbrella item will show the color in the tooltip. - When the world is raining, every zombie and skeleton (including their variants but excluding the drowned) has a 10% chance to spawn with an open umbrella in the off hand. The umbrella may be dyed (75%) or not (25%), and the "rainbow" umbrella is the rarest (0.1%). - Added all 16 colored bundles. Changed the bundle recipe (with only a string and a leather). - Reworked the leash mechanism. Now it behaves just like in vanilla 1.21.6+. (This can be turned off in the config) - Added Balloons (with 16 dye colors + an undyed color). Crafted by lead, wind charge and phantom membranes. - Use a balloon item on the fence, sandbag(*see below) or an entity to tie the balloon on it. Otherwise, the balloon is tied to the player themselves. When releasing a balloon, it makes an "inflating" sound. Right click an untied balloon to tie it to yourself. - Balloons have health. They effectively have just over 4HP, and regenerate 0.1 per game tick. Some damage types, like arrow, cactus or lava can instantly kill the balloon. Some items (like swords, arrows and shears) can also do that. When a balloon is destroyed, it pops, summon particles and drops a lead and 0-2 phantom membranes. If an attack isn't enough to kill the balloon, the balloon will be pushed instead. - Every balloon will reduce the gravity for the entity it attached to. Note that balloons which are lower than the entity don't make the contributions. With enough balloons, the entity will be lifted and float up. The amount of gravity it reduces depends on the weight of the entity. The heavier the entity is, the more balloons it needs to be lifted. - When a balloon flies above the height of 64 block above the height limit, it pops. - Added Sandbag. A gravity-affected block which can be crafted by a bundle and sand. - Sandbag can be used to tie balloons (other entities cannot be attached to sandbag). - A falling sandbag deals damage to the entity it hits, just like the anvil. - Reworked the pinwheels. All the legacy pinwheels have been removed. - Added a new pinwheel that can be dyed. Each leaf on the wheel can be dyed separately. Everything else remains unchanged.

# 21.0.12-beta - Added Music Box. - Insert a piece of Sheet Music into it and it will automatically play music when powered. - The instrument type depends on the block below it, just like Note Blocks. - Right click to open the music box. However, this is purely a visual change. - Hoppers or Droppers can insert Sheet Music into the Music Box. - Redstone Comparator can detect the music playing progress and output as signal (from 1 - 15). Output 0 when the music box has no sheet or the music has been over. - Added Sheet Music. - Similar to a book and quill, use a piece of paper, ink sac, feather and note block to craft a Sheet Music and Quill (Note Block won't be consumed). - Right click to open the gui, then you can write your own music. Supporting select, copy, cut and paste notes. - Finally, you can sign the sheet music, after that it can't be edited any more. - Sheet Music can be cloned with Sheet Musics and Quills. - Added Confetti. A crafting ingredient, crafted by paper, red, yellow and blue dyes. - Added Party Poppers (with 16 colors). Use paper, confetti and string to craft the white one, and you can dye it to any color. - When used, it will shoot lots of confetti particles. It can also be used by Dispenser. - By default, confetti particles stay on the ground for a while. You can change their behaviors in the config, making them disappear when touching ground. - Added Sparklers (with 13 colors, without light gray, gray and black ones). - To use a sparkler, holding it while holding a firestarter item (like Flint and Steel or Fire Charge) in the other hand. - When in hand, lit sparkler will constantly emit sparkle particles and fizzing sounds. Its durability meter depletes while the sparkler is burning and it takes 60 seconds to burn out. - If the player has a lit sparkler in their inventory and goes into the water, the sparkler extinguishes and is destroyed immediately. - Note: Orange, Green and Pink Sparklers don't have the crafting recipe currently. They will be added in the future. - Added Pinwheels (17 colors in total; 16 colors + a multicolored one). Use paper and stick to craft the white pinwheel. Crafting a multicolored pinwheel need red, yellow and blue dyes. - When holding in hand, pinwheel will spin if you are facing the wind. The spinning speed depends on the wind strength and the angle between your facing and wind direction. - Pinwheels can also be placed down as a block. Similarly, it will spin if it's facing the wind. - Added Ribbons (with 16 colors). They are blocks acting like ladders or vines that you can climb on. - You can crafting them with corresponding wools or dyeing them to another color. - Placed Ribbon will automatically connect to adjacent ribbons, regardless of the color. However, you can change the connection manually with empty hand while pressing Shift (create more connections) or shears (cut off connections). This also make the ribbon lost its auto-connecting ability. - Ribbons don't need a block to cling to, so long as they are connected to another ribbon. - Added Paper Boat. Right click to place down. Can float on water. Attacking makes it drop the paper boat item. They have a lifespan of 5 minutes, then they despawn and only have a chance (1/3) to drop the item. - The creative tab "Musical Instruments" has been renamed to "Entertainment & Novelties", to fit the newly added items. - Fixed the abnormal cloud movement when affected by the wind.

Using a redstone comparator allows you to detect the rotation angle of the weather vane, namely, the wind direction. - Added Windflower, a flower that naturally generates in windy biomes. Sometimes, it will spin like a pinwheel if it is in the wind. - Added Paper Plane. Right click to throw it. Drops as an item when hit a block or entity, except you are in creative mode. It can also be thrown by a dispenser.

# 21.0.10-beta - Fixed the bug that wind effect will cause severe performance degradation. The wavy block rendering logic is optimized so that it should be more performant now. - Now support Sodium and Iris. (Note: wind effect probably don't work well with shaders. You can turn the "wind effect" off in the configuration.) - Now you can use command /weather wind freeze (or unfreeze) to freeze/unfreeze the global wind. - Added "Wind Zones", which are local wind sources in an area. Currently, Breeze produces a "swirl" wind zone, while explosions (TNT, creeper, wind charge, ect.) produce "burst" wind zones. - Added "Wind Physics". Now wind can push entities. It can be turned off in the config. - Added falling leaf particles for every vanilla leaves blocks, just like those in vanilla 1.21.5+. Exclusively, the spruce leaf particle has a different texture. - Thanks for download!

# 21.0.9-beta - Added wind system into Minecraft. - Wind is a global weather occurrence that randomly happens in the world. Wind consists of two components on the axis X and axis Z respectively, and the max speed each component is 17.5 (m/s). - Wind can affect part of paricles and blocks, pushing them along the wind (It's just a visual effect). These blocks includes most of plants, chains, lanterns, water, cobweb, hanging signs, bell and banners. - To change the wind speed, you can use "/weather wind" command, either directly setting the speed or resetting the speed to zero. - In the config, you can turn the whole wind system off, or simply turn off the wind effect. - Known issue: the wind would heavily degrades performance, even you turn the wind off. One solution is installing optimization mods. Currently, More Colorful is compatible with Sodium. - Notice that the wind part is incompleted. More features coming soon.

You can change the keybinding in settings. - Introduced thermal system for blocks. Now each block has a temperature level (Range: 0-15) and it decreases while spreading through blocks. The conduction of heat is affected by the block's thermal resistance property. - Now ice and snow no longer melt depending on light level. Instead, they melt when the temperature is high enough (>5). - Blocks with high temperature (>12) will act like magma block and hurt entities that step on. - Now More Colorful supports configuration. You can partially customize the mod according to your preference. You can change: - The weight of More Colorful biome generation (You can set it to 0 to completely prevent them from generating); - The disabled biomes that you don't want them to generate; - Allow More Colorful to add new features to vanilla biomes; - Allow More Colorful to add new loot to vanilla lootables; - Enable or disable the thermal system; - Define temperature and thermal resistance values for blocks; - From now on, Terrablender is no longer a required dependecy. It's an optional now. However, the world cannot generate modded biomes until you install Terrablender. - Have a good time!
