Farming Revamp Blog Post
Golden Produce!
We have just gotten an new and AWESOME update and blog post we will be giving our thoughts oh this update later this week in our patch notes post. Let's jump into this blog post!
Farming Overhaul
The main focus of this update was farming. Let's check out what OR has done to one of our moneymakers.
Star Simplification
Stars have been simplified. Before, 1 and 2-star crops did nothing. They were worth nothing and were only a glorified bread. Now, there are only three star tiered crops: 1, 2, & 3-star crops. Your old crops are now considered legacy crops. You can click Jacko' to covert them to the new variants and here are the conversions:
- 1 Star Legacy Crop = 1 Star New Crop
- 2 Star Legacy Crop = 1 Star New Crop
- 3 Star Legacy Crop = 2 Star New Crop
- 4 Star Legacy Crop = 2 Star New Crop
- 5 Star Legacy Crop = 3 Star New Crop
Golden Crops
Golden Crops have been teased for a while and are finally here! These crops have a chance of sprawling up from three-starred crops in there final state. These crops are very valuable to Jacko' and are planned for other uses down the line.
Soil & Water Changes
Soil and water have had their mechanics changed! Before, soil and water determined the quality of the crops. Now, only soil will determine this. Water will now be used as a speed factor meaning the more your water is topped off, the faster your crops will grow.
Other changes that have been made to farming are:
-Soil is now only sold in one variant
-Crops will now grow at varied speed like vanilla crops do which means the last seed you planted might be the first crop to be fully aged.
-The soil and water levels will freeze when a crop is fully grown.
-You can now right-click with soil to fill the soil in planter boxes.
Enchanting Improvements
OR has zoned in on enchanting this update making it so much easier and efficient with the following changes:
-You can now combine enchantment books to create higher leveled enchantments.
-Auto-smelt now works correctly with ores generated in the resource world instead of having to place the ore down and breaking it again.
-Burst Enchantment now works far more consistently, with the additional arrows travelling correctly.
-Custom enchantments now work correctly with grindstones.
-Combining illegal enchantments like in vanilla Minecraft no longer works, such as mixing fortune and silk touch on a pickaxe.
World Generation Additions
There is now more added elements to place you already know and love in the resource world!
Fabrick Furniture Renovations
Fabrick Furniture has been redesigned to offer more furniture options but also taking a few away! This is the first step to a dynamically changing furniture store as we have been explained to since the furniture blogpost.
Wolf Cosmetics
The wolf cosmetic have been teased for OR since alpha and have been asked for since the beginning of beta. They are now in the store and amazing!
Totem of Keeping
A feature we have been waiting for has finally come! A way to keep our items upon death! Here is the explanation from the blogpost:
Unlike the Totem of Undying, the Totem of Keeping does not need to be in your hand in-order for it to be consumed. However, instead of preventing your death, this new totem simply prevents you from losing your inventory on death.
This means that you will die and respawn at Origin Isles, however you will not have lost anything in your inventory as long as the Totem of Keeping was somewhere on you at the time of death - amazing right?
Amazing it is! You will be able to find your totems of keeping in balloon crates now!
Misc Changes
We have talked a lot today so let's have the blog post take the stage on explaining the misc changes:
- Construction continues at the Mayor's Community Center building.
- Custom Entities no longer disconnect where their bones connect, they are always in-tact and much more consistent.
- Custom Entities can now be leashed, nametagged and more!
- Item frames can now be sheared, causing the frame to go invisible. This will allow you to further decorate your realm with mini items!
- Fixed /donate not showing top donator for certain users.
- Grindstone can now be used to remove enchantments from custom tools.
- Added an alert in chat for when a protection rune breaks on a tool.
- Jacko's Market can no longer trade the same crop two days in a row.
- Added æ, ø, å to the accepted collection of characters in chat.
