Whittled & Wistful

This version is a departure from most other major versions, and focuses primarily on filling gaps and fixing issues. Whittled & Wistful is starting to get to a point I would consider stable, though still not anywhere near feature complete. The state of the game after this update should give you a general idea of how I want the game to feel and behave.

I might still walk some of these changes back or iterate upon them further, but overall I’m happy with the direction the pack is moving.

Anyways, back to your regularly scheduled 0.8.0 changelog:

• Overhauled cave generation
• Removed several unobtainable advancements, along with unhelpful advancement pages
• Compressed several advancement pages into more inclusive pages
• Added several new end-game progression-related advancements
  • More advancement tweaks to come (to act as your guide through the modpack)
• Added food groups to more items
• Updated Sortilege
• Added several new underground structures
• Disabled rough diamond block generation next to lava pools
  • Within certain cave biomes, these would generate far too often
• Reverted deeper oceans change
• Replaced Simply Swords with Basic Weapons
  • This is primarily to reduce the sheer amount of weapons, many of which were nearly identical, as well as reduce the amount of data clutter (there was a ton of stuff from Simply Swords I had to disable)
• Added missing crafting recipes for Copper and Rose Gold staves, as well as Electrum knives and machetes
• Made Limitite more common
• Retextured knives and machetes
• Copper and Rose Gold now have their own variants of knives, machetes, clubs, hammers, spears, glaives, and quarterstaves
• Added AutoTag
• Reworked most mobs, courtesy of Mob AI Tweaks.
  • Elder Guardians are now bosses
  • Ravagers are now minibosses
  • The Wither fight has been completely reworked again
  • Most other mobs got a buff or change
  • Generally the game is more difficult but hopefully more predictable/fair, sorry not sorry
• Added new tips
• Fixed a number of items missing dietary food groups
• Added item descriptions to most items and blocks in the modpack
• Enabled item descriptions by default.
• Removed Fog, which was unused by default, and Foggy Border.
  • Fog is likely to return if it adds Distant Horizons support.
