Spectrum

This update comes with lots of new ways to spend your free time, there is something in for everyone! Want to discover the world? You will discover new structures with clever puzzles. Enjoy baking? Lots of new food options that we made sure to give unique effects to make them stand out. Are you an action laden fellow that likes to engage in fights and PvP? Lots of new effects to choose from. Rather lean back and watch your brews or fish? Boy do I have news for you.

Open your Colorful World Guidebook once after updating to unlock all the new stuff you already have all prerequisites for.

I'm actively working on bringing this update to 1.19.2. Expect it somewhen next week.

Note: There is a known incompatibility with the mod HealthOverlay because of the way it overwrites a good part of vanilla code, making Spectrum's modifications fail.

New Worldgen Structures:

These are a bit smaller than the previous one, meaning they will blend into the caves a bit better. You can now find ruined pedestals (build by @800020h) and 2 new puzzle structures in the underground. And of course they include some new, useful loot! They are now a tiny bit more common to make up for it being 3 variants now

The Tritation Barrel:

Unlocked in earlygame allows you to ferment items into food and drinks. Chocolate, anyone? Titration recipes take a bit of time. Not ingame, but real time, ranging from 1 hour up to multiple days for the strongest and most elusive effects. Time to touch grass! Most of these recipes have no defined max time. The longer you wait, the more powerful your drinks become. Time to build a wine cellar and start a collection. This also includes alcoholic beverages. To unlock them you have to confirm in the guidebook you are of legal drinking age. But even if not do not worry, there are LOTS of recipes to choose from, all lovingly sprited by yours truly @Azzy

Amaranth, Pastries & Candies:

A new crop is awaiting to be found. From it you can bake lots and lots of new pastries. To non-spectrum players it will look like you are growing fern. If you have not yet been declared insane, now is a good time.

We have given our best to make each of them stand out instead of being simple hunger/saturation stat blocks. This comes with a new status effect: Another Roll. It rerolls the item count from effects like looting and fortune and takes the better one. Besides Pastries there also is another plethora of sweet and hearty meals to choose from. Everyone that watched the last "Food & Puzzles" community event may recognise a few.

Fishing:

• Added 2 new Fishing Rods with special abilities
• Spectrum's Fishing Rods can now fish in other fluids than just water
• Their Bobbers indicate if you are fishing in open waters or not (getting treasure loot)
• New Enchantment "Big Catch", applicable to Spectrum's Fishing Rods. Increases the chance to fish living creatures (catchable creatures are fully configurable via data pack)
• Spectrum's fishing rods can now be enchanted with Exuberance (more XP) and Foundry (smelt your catch!)
• When GoFish is installed, you are able to fish it's lava and dimensional fish, as well as crates
• Fishing advancements
• Unless vanilla fishing rods, Lure > level 5 does not bug them out, but fish spawn immediately

The Blood Orchid:

This new vile plant is awaiting to be discovered. Can you bring a plant back to life?

The Present:

Put items in it, wrap it and place it for someone to open. Explodes in a nice little shower of particles. You can choose the wrapping paper and particle color.

A new Creature:

You always wanted to create life, did you? Let's make it worth it. It of course comes with a corresponding head block.

Hardcore Mode Revival:

You can now revive players that died via Minecraft's builtin hardcore mode. You may need this, for reasons. (◔◡◔)
