Surface 1.4.0b🍄

G'day everyone! It's time for the first ever Surface 1.4 beta! Hope you all are as excited as I am, so let's launch right onto the changelog!

Changelog ⚙️

This upgrade has a lot to offer, so the changelog was split into separate sections.

Archeology Changes 🦴

---

💡This update adds some exciting archeology features to the Dark Forests. I highly recommend finding what exactly it adds by yourself because it'll be very fun - trust me! Of course, you can still see the changelog below if you don't want to do so.

See the Changelog

World Generation 🌎

---

» Ancient Remnants is a new structure that generates in the dark forests. It has 3 different variants, so you can try to find each of them. Inside ancient remnants, you'll find some suspicious gravel to brush. This gravel has its own loot table, so its loot is nowhere else to meet in the game

Items ⛏️

---

» Golden Wire is one of the items that you can find inside the Ancient Remnants. It can only be used to craft the Glove of Creation.

» Glove of Creation is a new accessory item that if worn on the offhand, increases your reach distance, effectively being the Crab Claw from the Mob Vote 2023!

💡Note, that Glove of Creation only works on placing and breaking blocks. The reach distance you need to hit a mob isn't changed.

Advancements 🏆

---

» From A to B is an advancement that you get after obtaining a Glove of Creation.

World Generation 🌎

---

» Structured Rocks now also spawn in Dark Forests.

» Dark Forests now have more grassy landscape.

» Dark Oaks are now slightly taller, which ensures you can walk through the forest more easily.

» Mushrooms were fully overhauled, Red Mushrooms now have a unique cap to them, while both variations have a kind of branches.

Blocks 🧱

---

» Fungus Stem is a new block that generates instead of Mushroom Stem in the Dark Forests. It can be rotated just like logs do, as well as be obtained once broken with a silk touch tool.

Texture Changes 🖌️

» Sludge texture was fully retextured, now it looks more vanilla-like and better overall.

» Dried Sludge texture was retextured, now it isn't just the "dried" texture of the Sludge, but completely another one.

» Sludge Bricks texture was changed as well, this time only the color changed to reflect the new Dried Sludge texture.

» Firebrand texture was a bit changed, adding a kind of shadow to the bottom.

Tweaks 🔧
