Beta 1.6.0

Swets:

Swets have undergone a large overhaul, and are much more fluid - in more ways than one.

Lots of worldgen changes have come to the aether. The aether is now a far cry from homogenous.

Water now fades from the bottom of the world in the aether, rather than from y = 0
Still water now properly fades in the aether
Made aerclouds carver-based
Added blocks for the slider dungeon
Implemented lots of flora ❤️ (Amadrys, Halophia, Honey Nettle, Giant's lily, weeping cloudbursts, lichen, flowering grass, moss star, and more)
Added lakes
Boreal wisteria leaves now update dynamically in real time
Boreal wisteria items also dynamically update
Aerclouds are now nice and wispy
Added frosty blocks, courtesy of 24Chrome
Added spring water
Fixed bug regarding tree leaves decaying
New biomes: As stated by our resident biome-guy Azzy:

Continental plateau, a cool plains-like biome filled with flowering grass
Highlands shield, a wet, cold, rocky woodland bustling with mushrooms and wild flax
Autumnal tundra, frozen wastes without much of note... and a sign of something to come

Behind the scenes, the code for floating blocks has been streamlined, making way for various changes.

Floating blocks drop as if broken
Fire is no longer floatable
Floating TNT may now explode depending on its landing velocity
Floating lightning rods may cast a thunderbolt based on weather and velocity upon landing
Fast floaters, swet transformations, non-floaters, grows_swets, now tag based.
Adds floating block pushers (Like pistons + slime blocks)
Adds a helper class to simplify making floating blocks, for addon makers
Floating block hitboxes are now centered
Floating blocks look a tad nicer
Added /gravitate command, to float blocks
Added a FloatingBlockHelper api

A new system to allow for complex effects.

Moa genetics is finally here!

You can now light an aether portal with a skyroot bucket, splash potion, or dispenser
The player now spawns 320 blocks above world height upon falling from the aether
Added custom portal sounds
Added a new soundtrack by Sunsette
Fixed aether worldborder issues
Blue aerclouds no longer spawn particles when the entity isn't bounced.
Fix: Aercloud overlays are no longer static
Fixed placement of doors in tall grass
Added dense aercloud overlay
Water now properly paths around dense aercloud.
The game is no longer unplayable (Moved the hoe texture by one pixel)
Phoenix armor has a beak once more
Added zonked state
Fixed lever and mossy holystone recipes
Added "simmering" status effect

Servers should be fully functional
Removed Geckolib in favor of normal java-based armor models
Holystone now drops a cobbled variant that can be used to make tools and in recipes that use cobblestone, instead of regular holystone
World gen has been completely revamped:
- 2 new biomes, the Wisteria Woods and Highlands Thicket, as well as changes to the existing 2 biomes
- Clouds are rounder and less uniform
- Crystal trees generate on little islands occasionally, and can grow white apples over time
- Ore generation has been changed
- 5 flower types generate in several biomes
- Golden oak trees generate with more square foliage
- Wisteria trees are much larger
- Holystone boulders generate in some biomes
- Noise settings have been changed to make the islands a bit more round and shapely
Gravitite properly levitate blocks, but perform their intended right click action first, if applicable (will strip a log before floating it)
Moas have a basic implementation, expect bugs and unfinished features
Item groups were merged to take up fewer creative tabs
Some blocks that did not break at proper speeds with tools now work properly (quicksoil and aether dirt/grass notably)
Many textures have been reworked
Several crashes related to missing assets and server issues have been resolved
