Celestium Rework

Celestium is getting some more love this update, and a new Celestium item: the Celestium Elytra! The following changes were made for it:

• Increased the movement speed bonus to 10% per piece (from 8%)
• Increased Star Platinums damage bonus to 1 per piece (from 0.5)
• Celestium armor now inherits this damage bonus, meaning all Celestium Armor now has this damage bonus
• Changed the Celestium Sword texture to be more like a scimitar

Celestium Elytra

A much more durable elytra. This is an armored elytra, meaning it gives you both armor and toughness. Not only does it have a movement speed bonus, it also speeds up your flying speed when using Firework Rockets by 20%

Smithing Templates

Midas Gold Sword Rework

The Midas Gold Sword received a massive rework following this update. As specified above you now need to craft smithing templates in order to fold it, which makes maxing it slightly more expensive.

There is a rare chance when bartering with Piglins you can find an Enchanted Midas Gold Block. This can be crafted into a Royal Midas Gold Sword Upgrade, which lets you upgrade a maxed Gilded Midas Gold Sword one more time... Some even say it comes with a special ability which should help with obtaining more gold.

Are you ready to become the ultimate sword-smith?

Mythril Drill Upgrades

The old drill crafting required a Smithing Table to upgrade the drill. You can now right-click Drill Upgrade Items onto it instead.

Items that can be inserted into the Mythril Drill have tooltip indicating that they can be put into the drill (NEW!).

The Golden Luck ability now requires an Enchanted Midas Gold Block. To compensate for this, it now gives you +2 luck (from +1).

Added the Prometheum Bouquet and the Carmot Stone, which replace the storage blocks when being used to upgrade the Mythril Drill (NEW!).

The Carmot Stone can be obtained rarely when mining Carmot ores (NEW!, 4% base chance of dropping, scales with Luck).

Prometheum Rework

This update includes a small rework to Prometheum, rewarding the player if they give it some attention. To clarify, these are the current (and new) abilities of Prometheum:

• Regrowth
  • Prometheum will automatically repair itself
  • For armor, it must be equipped for this to take effect
  • For tools, it must be in your main hand to repair itself
  • The tools can also be in your off-hand (NEW!)
• Overgrown (NEW!)
  • Regrowth will track how much durability has been restored
  • Once you hit a threshold of around 2000 durability regained, the armor will gain additional stats
  • The regrowth self-repair effect will also increase on tools
• Engrained (NEW!)
  • If you apply Curse of Binding on the Armor, it will gain additional stats, as well as increase the self-repair effect more.

Balancing changes

• Default axe damage has been increased (+2 over sword), meaning over half the axes in the mod got a buff!
• Celestium changes, see the Celestium Rework section
• Prometheum changes, see the Prometheum Rework section
• Osmium base damage: 2 -> 2.5
• Osmium mining level: 2 -> 3 (can now mine obsidian)
• Osmium durability: 584 -> 664
• Osmium knockback resistance: 10% per piece -> 25% per piece
• Steel mining level: 2 -> 3 (can now mine obsidian)
• Steel durability: 600 -> 700
• Steel enchantability: 12 -> 11
• Durasteel durability: 800 -> 820

Other changes

• Reduced the mining level of the Unobtainium Storage Block (Mythic/Metallurgium -> Netherite)
• Changed the animations of the Mythril Drill. It now has more lights when active, and a custom holding animation.
• Revealed the Palladium advancements and made them more clear
• Overhauled advancements heavily, adding all Smithing Templates and the Mythril Drill
• Remove the Lapis Block Carmot Staff ability durability damage when in off-hand
• Added a new loot condition: mythicmetals:random_chance_with_luck, which applies Luck directly to the chance modifier when breaking blocks/ores
  • While luck does have an effect on the older loot tables, it did not have a sufficient impact on drops. This patch should remedy this
• Added subtitles and sound events
  • All armor now have custom equip sound events
  • The Carmot Staff abilities, Mythril Drill, and Banglum Nuke now has sound events
  • All of the above have subtitle support, accurately describing what sound is being played
  • This means over time custom sounds for items can be added over time
  • Resource pack creators can already change the sounds, if they modify the sounds.json
• Changed the implementation of attribute modifications
  • This is in an attempt to make them more compatible with mods that modify attributes
• Made the Star Platinum and Runite arrows dispensable
• Added a new Unique Block for the Carmot Staff - Note Block
• Made the "Rare Crafting Material" tooltip not use italics
