The Block of Angel

⚒️ Structural Changes

• The former Block of Angel has been split into two separate blocks:
  • The Dormant Block of Angel – crafted item, inert by default.
  • The Block of Angel – activated version, only obtainable by using an Echo Shard.
• Functionality remains unchanged: once activated, the block despawns any monsters within a 70-block radius. Echo Shard is still not consumed on activation.

⚙️ Rod of Angel Crafting Adjusted

• The Smithing Table recipe for The Rod of Angel now explicitly requires the activated version of the block.
• This change closes a progression loophole:
  • Previously, it was possible to craft the Rod using an unactivated block and bypass the need to explore an Ancient City.
  • Now, players must obtain an Echo Shard before crafting the Rod, ensuring intended progression through all major danger zones.

🎯 Intent

This refactor reinforces the original vision:

• The Echo Shard is a required milestone;
• The Rod of Angel is a reward for completing key encounters, not a shortcut through them;
• Crafting is no longer a bypass — it's a culmination.

📝 Improvements

• When a player with full health puts on leggings that increase maximum health, their health bar will now remain full (with the bonus). Previously, it stayed at the original value.
• If the player had missing health, the health value remains unchanged as before.

🛠️ Changed

• Soaring Spore Essence no longer removes effects — it only applies Glowing and Slow Falling.
• Marine Crystal now cleanses all effects from mobs when used in mainhand.
• Both Soaring Spore Essence and Marine Crystal do not affect players.
• Soaring Spore Essence and Marine Crystal tooltips have been updated to reflect the changes.

🐞 Fixes

• Fixed tooltip formatting: some phrases that should be italicized were rendered in plain text.

The Lucky Update 😄

📝 Improvements

• The Luck effect can now prevent death (25% chance per level), teleporting the player to their saved respawn point with regeneration and temporary damage protection.
• Armor tooltips are now split into three pages:
  • Shift shows general information
  • Alt shows stats and upgrade materials
  • Ctrl shows additional lore
• Each armor piece now displays the item required for its upgrade directly in its tooltip.
• Updated chestplate names to better reflect their special effects and bonuses, e.g., using "with Slow Falling" for clarity.

🛠️ Changed

• Suspicious Sand (Warm Ocean): reduced the drop weight of the wooden hoe from 2 to 1 to maintain vanilla drop balance after adding custom items.
