Spectrum 1.7.0-deeper-down-alpha20

Underground Cities

The Underground Cities have gotten a big expansion. @800020h invested a lot of effort creating interesting and unique structures. You can now find various new pieces in the cities, including a new rare and highly protected one.

Unique Present Unwrap Interactions

Presents have gotten a rework. Unwrapping some items now plays special effects... positive as well as... surprising ones. Some fun examples:

Unwrapping a Firework will immediately shoot that firework
Unwrapping a Memory will immediately manifest it

Finished Erasers & Eraser Nerf

Erasers have gotten their final model & animations
Made Erasers exclusive to black langast & dragonrot swamp
Nerfed Rraser view range and potion effect potencies
Added Eraser head & spawn egg
Added Eraser guidebook entry
Added Bucket of Eraser

Modular Explosives

Added both a mine type explosive (Threat Conflux), as wenn as a thowable &/ wall-mountable one (Parametric Mining Device). They are modular in the way that you can enhance their explosions with various modifiers - kind of like potion reagents.

Primordial Fire Improvements

made primordial fire hurt, improved the rendering & added damage type & death message primordial fire renders entities on primordial fire. Added fluid interaction

New Mermaid's Brush textures & lots of other missing ones

Mermaids Brushes & their Gems have gotten a new look. Do you like them? Let's hear some feedback! Personally, I adore the Staff of Remembrance's texture. <3

Potion Workshop Recipe / Reagent Rework

The guidebook / recipe viewer entries were always pretty vague. Plus, there has been some confusion about how multiplicative bonuses work previously. The explanations have been completely redone, stating exact values what each reagent does.

Increased the base durations of some potions
Potion Workshop recipe for Scarred (ty, Red!)

Shapeless Pedestal Recipes

Added Shapeless Pedestal Recipe type. All recipes where it makes sense have been updated (like the CMY pedestal upgrade)
Moved lots of recipes from crafting table to Tier1-Pedestal

Worldgen & Dimension Improvements

Added more lizard den variants.
New algorithm to place underground structures - should make Preservation Ruins show up exposed in caves a lot more often.
Performance improvements for Black Langast
Tweaked DD biome gen. Increased chance for Dripstone Caves. Slightly lowered Dragonrot Swamp generation
Fixed some rare cases of the DD cave carver not replacing ore vein blocks
Removed log spam with item frames in structures (vanilla bug MC-252934)

Improvements

Added Blackslag slabs, stairs & walls
Most sword enchants can now be applied to axes, too
Moved not available items into creative item group
Lizards & kindlings regenerate health very slowly
Lizards can now be 'tamed'
Lots of new sounds & sound event subtitles
Improved Light Shard targeting
Finished boss movement & attacks
Storm Stone potion reagent does not work on instant effects anymore
Handle stack aware recipe remainders in Cinderhearth, Item Bowls, Pedestal & Titration Barrel
Mining projectiles cause a moonstone strike (making them able to break dragonbone)
Incandescent Amalgam explosion power now gets bigger the longer it ferments
Renamed malachite_crystal to refined_malachite to match Bloodstone & Azurite. Added Raw Bloodstone
Added recipes for Glass Ampoules
The Nature's Staff got a new active ability: Luring animals
Reworked Bud & Cluster loot tables, Jadeite & Nephrite interactions & loot tables
Mermaids Brushes can now be planted on Clay
Spirit Instiller recalculates its recipe when being loaded, making players able to revive themselves while in spectator
Pedestals can use structures of higher tiers; improved Pedestal structure cache (better performance)
Interacting with the Crystallarieum prioritizes retrieving the ink container, instead of the catalysts
Made Doomblooms flowers (can now be used in suspicious stew + brew)
The Suspicious Brew recipe can now be used with all small flowers, even if their corresponding mod forgot to put them into the flowers tag
Circlet of Arrogance now gives a tad weaker version of divinity & does not show particles anymore
Reworked Dragonrot fluid interactions
Reworked the internals and tooltips of the Constructors & Exchanging Staff. They now recognise more blocks as being suitable replacements (not having grass? Placing dirt instead)
Inventory Insertion triggers in more edge cases (exchanging staff, various other vanilla things that directly insert into the inventory)
Made Dike Gates transparent when in creative
Put #spectrum:fishing_rods in #c:fishing_rods (ty, @800020h)
Made Amaranth reveal a tad earlier (when entering the structure instead of when picking it up). Makes them not show up as ferns in the Preservation Chest, making players potentially miss it
Made Resonance modular. IT can now both retain block states & block entity nbt. Other mods are now able to register their own Resonance Drop behaviors

Fixes

Fixed Glass Crest Greatsword ground slam able to be used without ink; make it quieter
Fixed being able to trick the Enchanter to put enchants on tools that are not suitable for them (ty, @ZapRabbit!)

Fixed Sawblade Holly now growing fully without the use of Bone Meal (ty, @ZapRabbit!)
Fixed Malachite tools unlocking before the Crystallarieum (ty, @SpaceGuy!)
