ВЕРСИИ (29)

## 1.1.28 ### New — Server Rules system - Server rules now appear on join as a **full-screen banner + chat list**, with an optional **accept-gate** that holds a player (Slowness, can't break/use blocks) until they type `/rules accept`. Existing players are caught on their first login after this update, not just brand-new ones. - Rules are fully **configurable** in `superpowers_config.json` (`serverRules` list, header text, enable / require-accept toggles). - Acceptance is **versioned**: bump `rulesVersion` after editing your rules and every player re-accepts on next login. ### New — Bigger on-screen notifications - **Mastery unlocks** now show as a full-screen title instead of just a chat line. - Entering / leaving a **PvP Arena** shows a big `PVP ZONE` / `SAFE ZONE` title. Arenas can be **named** — anvil-rename the Arena Core before placing, or right-click a placed core with a renamed Name Tag — and the title shows your custom name. ### Fixes - **Experience Obelisk, Arena Core, Arena Leaderboard and Ward Block** can now be mined with a pickaxe and actually drop (they previously mined at hand-speed and dropped nothing). - **Bosses** (Warden, Wither, Ender Dragon, Elder Guardian) can no longer be picked up by Colossal Toss or held by Force Grip — closes the "hold a Warden overhead and safely kill it" cheese. - Breaking an **Arena Leaderboard** no longer leaves its floating text behind.

## 1.1.27 — Hydra Shicken Gear + Bounty Board 🐉🛡️⚒️ ### ⚠️ New required dependency: GeckoLib This version adds **GeckoLib** as a required dependency (it powers the new 3D armour). Your launcher should install it automatically with the mod — if you add jars by hand, grab **GeckoLib 4.7.3 or newer** for Fabric 1.21.1. ### New — Hydra Shicken Armour (fully 3D!) The first 3D-modelled armour set in the mod, forged from the Baby Shicken line. - **Craft** each piece from Netherite + a Baby Shicken Core, in the standard armour shapes. - **Tougher than Netherite** — protection 5 / 10 / 8 / 5 and toughness 5.0, plus **unbreakable** and highly enchantable. - **Infuse** a piece at a **Gem Infusion Table** (with a Blank Power Gem) to unlock **3 gem sockets** *and* **+3 armour per piece**. Socket a **Fire** gem for Molten Thorns (burns attackers), or **Frost** for a Chilling Aura (slows and weakens them). - **Set bonus:** wear the full set and **Baby Shickens turn passive** — they'll leave you alone. ### New — Hydra Shicken tools & shield - **Hydra Shicken Hammer** — mines a **3×3, 5×5, or 7×7** area at once (Sneak + Right-Click to switch sizes), with a live outline showing the target area. Unbreakable, high enchantability. - **Hydra Shicken Paxel** — pickaxe + axe + shovel in one, all mining at full Netherite speed. Unbreakable. - **Hydra Shicken Shield** — Hydra Thorns retaliation, carrying a Curse of Gluttony. - Each of these has an **Awakened** Zenith Forge upgrade with 3 gem sockets. ### New — Bounty Board A renewable **bounty system**: accept per-player bounties from the board, track live progress on a left-side HUD, and claim pooled per-tier payouts. Includes a Targets legend with real mob-face icons and reroll support. The board (and the Arena Core / Leaderboard) are now protected from non-admin breaking. ### Fixes & tuning - **Unidentified Geode** now correctly delivers your gem when opening your last (or only) geode. - **Custom armour and mining tools are now properly enchantable** at the enchanting table (fixed missing enchantment tags — Protection, Efficiency, Unbreaking, Mending, and more). - **Druid Morph** hardened against invalid DNA scans. - **Experience Obelisk** now drops itself when broken. - **Baby Shicken** curse chances lowered (1% base / 5% awakened). - **Guide book** overhaul — hub landing page, cleaner tabs, and a new Custom Gear index. Built and tested against **Minecraft 1.21.1** (Fabric) — 50 in-world tests passing.

## 1.1.26 **New — Ward block (area protection)** - Place a Ward to protect a full-height square area; right-click cycles the radius **8 → 16 → 32 → 64 → 128**. - **Per-player permissions** — a public default *plus* per-player grants. Independently allow specific players to **break**, **place**, **interact**, and/or **use powers** (e.g. one friend can build, another can only open doors). - **Disable superpowers** inside the radius (temporary and positional — nothing is removed; abilities work again the moment a player steps outside). - **Settings GUI** (sneak-right-click) with a Public row + per-player toggles, and commands: `/ward public|set|clear|radius|info`. - The block is **invisible** to everyone; the **owner** sees a rainbow outline marking where it sits. No collision. **Fix — Druid morph** - Other players now actually **see** your Druid transformation — the disguise was previously only rendered on your own screen. Built and tested against **Minecraft 1.21.1** (Fabric).

## 1.1.25 **New — Baby Shicken Mace** - A real mace (smash attack) with a signature **Deadly Tongue**: on hit, its tongues lash out and reel nearby hostiles toward you. - Enchantable, and Zenith-Forge upgradeable into the awakened **Zenith Shicken Maul** (adds gem sockets). - Attack damage: mace **10**, awakened **15**. Craft: Shicken Core (top) + 2 Netherite Ingots + 2 Breeze Rods. **New — Neon Glass** - Glowing translucent glass in all **16 dye colours**, with a nested inner core for a denser, glowing "neon" look. - Craft **8** from a ring of 8 matching stained glass around 1 glowstone dust. **Baby Shicken changes** - The swallow-whole kill **no longer destroys your armour**. - Arrows now **scale by range**: up close they hit full, but plinking from afar only chips it — and that feeds the Hydra, so it **multiplies** instead of dying. Get in close to actually kill one. - Golden Baby Shicken Feather drop rate **10% → 5%**. **Fixes** - The enchanting table now works on the custom Shicken weapons (Baby Shicken Mace + Hydra Shicken Sword). Built and tested against **Minecraft 1.21.1** (Fabric).

## Superpowers: Zenith Protocol 1.1.24 ### ✨ Path to Zenith — new questline A 35-quest, 7-chapter guided progression on its own **🎯 Quests** screen (on the loadout hub) that walks you through the whole mod, from your first Power Gem to Zenith mastery. Fully self-contained — no extra mods required. ### 🐔 Baby Shicken Core progression - Baby Shickens now have a **10% chance to drop a Golden Baby Shicken Feather**. - Craft a **Baby Shicken Core** by surrounding the feather with 8 Netherite Ingots or Nether Stars. - The **Hydra Shicken Sword** is now built from the Core (Diamond Block + Baby Shicken Core + Breeze Rod). ### 🛡️ Champion overhaul - **Randomized themed names** for Champions & Elites (e.g. *Baron Ashwhisker the Infernal*); Elite bodyguards now share their Elite's surname and element (*Frostbane Sentinel*). - **Anti-cheese:** Champions can no longer be cheesed by hovering above them and shooting — while you kite them from the air they shrug off projectiles and blink to you. ### ⚖️ Dynamic difficulty now covers every hostile Gem-based scaling now applies to **all** hostile mobs — slimes, magma cubes, ghasts, phantoms, shulkers and hoglins included, not just the usual ones. ### 🏆 Arena Leaderboard — now survival-craftable ### 🐛 Fixes - **Unidentified Geodes** now actually give you the rolled gem (they previously announced a gem but delivered nothing). - Fixed a broken `wither_immune` block-tag reference. --- *Built and tested against **Minecraft 1.21.1** (Fabric).

27/03/2026 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Ultimate Superpowers Update This is our biggest update yet. We have completely rewritten the core engine for maximum performance, overhauled the progression economy, and introduced three massive new endgame power sets: The Dragon Rider, The Super Plumber, and the Druid Apex Chimera. The Major HUD Update 🐉 New Power: The Dragon Gem Rewrite your DNA with the volatile power of the Void and take to the skies on a custom, fully controllable mount. Draconic Vitality: +10 Extra Hearts, 100% resistance to Fire/Lava/Knockback, and free creative-style Void Flight. The Void Wyvern Mount: Summon a loyal, sunlight-immune Phantom with helicopter/elytra flight controls and loyal pet auto-follow logic. Dragon's Breath: Launch a massive fireball that explodes into a lingering Wither II cloud, shredding both living and undead mobs. Soul-Fire Flamethrower: Project a devastating 40-block-long raycast beam of blue soul fire to snipe targets from afar. Hurricane Gust: Unleash a thunderous wing flap that blasts enemies backward in a 25-block expanding wind cone. Predator Swoop (Meteor Slam): High-speed dash to snatch a mob, rocket into the clouds, and ruthlessly spike them into the dirt for massive crash damage. 🍄 New Power: The Plumber Gem Imbued with the essence of a legendary hero, granting incredible platforming and combat abilities. The Jumpman & Goomba Stomp: Permanent Jump Boost II. Falling on an enemy's head deals massive damage, plays a classic squish sound, and bounces you back into the air. The Super Mushroom: Consuming stews doubles your physical size, grants Strength II/Jump Boost IV, and lets you shatter blocks by jumping into them. Bouncing Fireball & Iceball: Throw projectiles that respect gravity. Iceballs freeze targets solid, allowing you to punch them for an instant shatter-kill. Ground Pound: Stall in mid-air before crashing straight down to create a devastating explosive shockwave. P-Meter Flight: Sprint to build charge, then leap to temporarily stash your chestplate and deploy a Super Cape (Elytra) until you land. Mastery - Star Power: Become completely invincible, insanely fast, and vaporize non-boss enemies on contact for 10 seconds. 🐾 Druid Mastery Expansion: Apex Chimera The MorphManager has been completely rebuilt with smooth rendering, true-perspective cameras, and dynamic hitboxes. Morphing now grants native biological overrides and active abilities. Wolf DNA: Grants Strength and Speed. Ocelot/Cat DNA: Speed II, Jump Boost, and Sneak-to-Slow-Fall. Iron Golem DNA: Resistance, Slowness, native Knockback Resistance, and a heavy Ground Slam shockwave. Axolotl DNA: Regeneration, Water Breathing, and Dolphin's Grace. Bat DNA: Night Vision, complete fall damage immunity, and Slow Falling. Spider DNA: Haste, Wall Climbing, and the ability to spit cobweb traps. Warden DNA: Strength II, Resistance II, Immunity to Blindness, and vibration senses. Creeper DNA: Trigger a safe Sizzle Pop, or sneak for a massive Charged Detonation. Enderman DNA: Teleport forward, or sneak to paralyze and blind enemies in an 8-block radius. Wither DNA: Native wither immunity. Fire a single black skull, or sneak for a 3-way shotgun spread. Ender Dragon DNA: True Flight (double-jump) with climb assist. Sneak to unleash a screen-shaking Void Tempest roar. 🗺️ Progression & Economy Overhaul The Ancient Token: A new epic-tier currency replaces the Nether Star economy. Boss Drops: Wardens drop 2 Tokens, Withers drop 1 Token, and the Ender Dragon drops 3 Tokens. Loot Integration: Tokens have a 25% chance to spawn in End City and Ancient City chests (Blank Gems no longer spawn naturally). Gem Trader Hut: The Gem Trader now spawns in a custom, naturally generating structure. Gem Seeker's Map: Level 2 Cartographers now sell a map (for 1 Token and 1 Compass) that marks the exact coordinates of the nearest Gem Trader Hut. ✨ Game Feel & Gem Rebalancing Dynamic Screen Shake: Heavy abilities (Strength Smash, Orbital Strike, Sonic Boom) now cause violent, distance-based camera earthquakes. UI Cooldown Pulse: The HUD text now flashes gold and plays a satisfying audio chime when an ability finishes reloading. Audio Pitch-Shifting: Charging abilities emit rising hums, and abilities like Force Choke distort dynamically as the target's health drops. Strength Gem: Throwing an enemy with Strength Mastery turns them into a high-velocity living bomb that detonates on impact. Size Gem: Giant form drastically buffed. Shrunk form now has "Ant-Stealth" logic, causing hostile mobs further than 4 blocks away to instantly lose aggro. Flower Gem: Rebuilt the Botanist's Diet logic. Consuming 2-high flowers now grants powerful temporary buffs (e.g., Peony for Absorption, Lilac for Luck). Jedi Gem: Adapted the engine to accommodate a custom Force Energy pool, allowing abilities to bypass standard cooldowns if energy is available. ⚙️ Massive Performance Optimizations & Backend Dynamic Configuration Engine: Server admins can now adjust ability damage, healing amounts, blast radii, and cooldowns via superpowers_config.json without recompiling the mod. Death-Proof Powers: Upgraded PowerData to persistently copy player data across deaths and dimension changes. You no longer lose your powers when you respawn! GPU Particle Offloading: Heavy looping particle math (Orbital Strikes, Tectonic Fissures, Sanctuary Domes) is now processed directly by the Client GPU, drastically reducing server lag. Network Packet Compression: Overhauled payloads to utilize VarInts, heavily compressing data and reducing multiplayer bandwidth. Code Decoupling: Dismantled the monolithic switch statements into a dynamic ABILITY_REGISTRY system with modular, object-oriented Java classes. 🐛 Bug Fixes Fixed grid desynchronization in the Loadout Menu causing clickable hitboxes to misalign. Fixed Padlock rendering issues for abilities with naming discrepancies in the Mastery Vault. Bypassed vanilla engine limitations that prematurely canceled custom Elytra flight upon launch. Fixed infinite-purge loop conflicts between the Size, Strength, and Flower gems. Fixed a memory leak where scanned Druid DNA was not permanently saving to NBT data.

My first release
