Changelog

1.3

Important: All config files have been moved to "soulsweapons" folder inside config folder

• The original config is now inside config/soulsweapons/soulsweapons.json together with the other files like _client.json and _chungus_tonic_whitelist.json

New additions

• Added Dragonbane, a new katana from Skyrim having the Chain Lightning ability builtin and does 20 bonus damage to dragon entities, can be made with Netherite ingots or Dragon Bones from Ice & Fire (accepted material is inside soulsweapons:dragonbane_material item tag)
• Added Supernova, a spiky mace that does bonus durability damage to armor, has a chance to inflict fire post hit and has passive firethorns effect while holding it
  • Using it spawns Flame Pillars a short path leaving behind pools of Molten Metal that sets the targets in it on fire, disables shields and does 100 durability damage to it
  • Calculated Fall detonation spawns Flame Pillar ripples outwards with the amount based on fall distance
• Added Mehrunes' Razor, a new dagger that has a chance to deal bonus damage equal to the missing health of the target, with an additional very small chance to instantly kill the target
  • There is a blacklist of entities in the config that will make the razor unable to instakill those entities
• Added Tonitrus, a mace from Bloodborne which you can use to give yourself the new Stormveil effect, making you apply Chain Lightning post hit and immune to Lightning damage, using it again with the effect makes you summon a lightning strike on the target post hit, then removing the Stormveil effect
• Added the Stormveil effect, making the wearer immune to Lightning damage and has a chance to inflict thorns lightning damage on targets hitting the wearer
• Added Bloodlust, a katana from Dark Souls 3 applying large amounts of bleed buildup and can be used to damage yourself, but also give you Strength 2 and Bloodthirsty effects, targets suffering Blood Loss around you while having this weapon in hand also gives you Strength
  • Bleed buildup is a part of the reworked bleed system, more on that later in the log
• Added the new Blight Carrier gun enchantment, making Silver Bullets apply stacking Blight effect on targets, increasing their damage taken based on their armor amount
• Added the new Frostsilver gun enchantment, making Silver Bullets apply strong Permafrost effect if the target Posture Breaks
  • Hitting a target with Posture Break effect while having Permafrost triggers the Ice Explosion early and removes the effect (together with the Posture Break since it triggers)
    • Note: Permafrost & other damage over time effects still trigger Posture Breaks!
• Added the new Phantom Trace gun enchantment, guns now fire additional copies of the main bullet that fly off after a delay, they do 50% damage, but has all other effects the main bullet has
  • Bullets with this enchant are rendered with a cyan overlay
• Added the new Tether gun enchantment, making Silver Bullets drag the target towards you if outside a certain range
• Added the new Ricochet gun enchantment, granting Silver Bullets the ability to bounce off of blocks with bounce amount based on enchant level
  • On contact with a block, the bullets will bounce off and:
    • have its speed reduced to max 1.5 speed
    • first try to target the mob the owner last attacked
    • if no mob was attacked recently, it will target the closest mob around it
    • if no mob is close, it will bounce off a random direction
  • A gun cannot have both Ethereal & Ricochet enchant

Item changes

• Bullets with Ethereal enchant are now rendered translucent
• Bullets now spawn Soul Fire Flame particles upon de-spawn
• Explosive Rounds enchantment no longer breaks blocks around the target hit with the explosion
  • Added config line to toggle this (when on, the explosion counts as a mob, so gamerule doMobGriefing can also be used to turn off)

• The max age of bullets has been reduced from 100 -> 60 (ticks) (ethereal makes it 25 like before)

  • Sword of Light now shoots wider projectiles that go through entities and walls, with the last slam & big projectile being replaced with the old Moonfall attack, summoning pillars of light along a path
  • Moonfall now summons 7 lines of light pillars every 45th degrees (except at 180 degrees) instead of just 1 ahead of the boss
  • Moonveil attack now starts with the Fallen Icon leaping towards its main target, then the AOE explosion triggers as he pierces the ground with his sword, with an additional delayed AOE coming after a short while like before
  • Core Beam has bigger range to trigger, higher explosion power and no longer destroys blocks
  • Heavy Swing attack summons a wider projectile that also goes through walls and entities

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug causing guns not to find stacks of Silver Bullets in inventory even though the player has enough, and now decrements correct amount as well
• Fixed a bug causing Posture Break to apply debuffs upon being cleared that don't ever wear off

Reworked Mechanics

• Reworked Posture Loss mechanic
  • Instead of max posture loss being flat 200 per entity, it now scales off of the size of the entity with a base posture unit the entity has
  • Entities have a posture loss resistance, reducing the amount of posture loss applied, or increase it if the value is negative
  • The base posture unit is universal in the config, but you can override this by making an "entitystats" datapack json file
  • The higher the base posture unit, the higher the max posture for the entity is, the base posture unit attribute gotten from some armor items also increase this
  • Entity stats files contain values such as bleed & posture loss buildup resistance, max posture loss, base posture loss unit for that entity and so on
  • The files representing the entities must be named after the entity and must be placed inside the folder "entitystats" inside the namespace the mob is from
  • Example: for the entity returning_knight, it needs to be inside data/soulsweapons/entitystats/returning_knight.json, while for the zombie it would be in data/minecraft/entitystats/zombie.json
  • Additionally, Posture Loss is reduced at a slower rate, being each 8th tick instead of 4th
  • Hitting an entity now displays the targets posture loss as its own bar
  • Added a client config where you can disable HUD elements, such as the target posture loss bar, or the players bleed/posture loss bars
  • Some bosses are more easily posture broken, while others are harder to break
  • As listed above, the guns have their posture loss applied buffed
  • Some armor sets give posture resistances (can be changed in config)
  • Posture Break now deals 5% of the targets max health as bonus damage
    • Added config lines for Posture Break damage
    • Base value was reduced to 2 against players and 6 against other mobs
• Reworked Bleed effect
  • It now works as a buildup, dealing damage as soon as the bar is filled up (just like in the Souls series), max bleed is still 200
    • Max bleed can be universally changed in config, but can also be changed for just one entity in the entitystats file with the line max_bleed
  • Skofnung when empowered now applies 60 bleed value with the bleed effect
  • Whirligig Sawblade applies 25 bleed each tick
  • Old Champion's Remains applies 100 bleed on some of the attacks that previously only applied the effect
  • Bleed buildup resistance reduces the buildup and is universally at 0, but can be changed for each entity by making an entity stats file mentioned above
  • Moonveil applies 25 bleed post hit
  • The damage is universally 6 + 10% max hp of the target, but this amount also varies depending on the mob's bleed damage resistance
  • Some bosses in the mod are weaker to bleed, while others are stronger against it
  • Some armor sets give bleed damage and buildup resistances (can be changed in config)
• Bosses and some mobs are now weaker/stronger against bleed and posture loss
  • Decaying King: Higher posture loss resistance; Very high bleed buildup resistance, but very low bleed damage resistance
  • Returning Knight: Weak to posture loss; Extremely high bleed resistance (both buildup and damage)
  • Old Champion's Remains: Very weak to posture loss; Extremely high bleed resistance
  • Frenzied Shade: Weak to posture loss; Immune to bleed
  • Fallen Icon: Weak to posture loss; Immune to bleed
  • Monarch of Chaos: Slightly resistant to posture loss; Immune to bleed
  • Day Stalker: Very high resistance against posture loss; Weak to bleed
  • Night Prowler: Highly resistant to posture loss; Slightly stronger against bleed
  • Withered Demon: Mildly resistant to posture loss; Very weak to bleed

Config changes

• Added velocity config lines for moonlight projectiles
• Added config lines for Lunar Herald amplifier and duration applied by the Lunar Ring (moonstone_ring)
  • Also changed config line moonlight_ring_projectile_cooldown to moonstone_ring_projectile_cooldown for consistency
• All int values in the config have been changed to floats
  • If you tried to change an int value to a float on a line that would not accept it (like 9 -> 9.5 on the Darkin Blade weapon damage line), the config would reset due to it thinking the value is invalid. To avoid confusion and reset, all previous int (whole number) lines has been changed to float, so decimals can be used for them. Most of them will still ignore the decimals like before.
• Added options to always see the item tooltip in the client config

Keybind changes

• Switched a few keybinds, I still encourage to switch these to a button that fits better for you
  • Parry: RIGHT ALT -> R
  • Return Freyr Sword: R -> Z
  • Stationary Freyr Sword: Z -> RIGHT ALT
• Added keybinds for showing item tooltip info and lore, these are unbound by default and when unbound will by default use SHIFT and CONTROL to display like usual
  • NOTE: Binding them to keys WILL override other keybinds so for example setting either to TAB will override the "show player list" function
