AoA3-Snapshot 8

AoA3-Snapshot 8 is the sixth testing snapshot for the 3.0 update. It was released on 9 December 2018. It is the first snapshot for 3.0 that contains dimensions.

It can be downloaded here.

Issues in the snapshot can be reported on the Github issues page.

IMPORTANT: If the player is updating from a previous snapshot, then the player should delete their aoa3.cfg file before playing this snapshot. Failure to do so will likely cause the game to crash. It is also recommended that the player updates to the latest recommended version of forge for 1.12.2.

Disclaimer: The snapshot is intended to be a testing snapshot, it is by no means a beta.

Additions

Dimensions

• All dimensions as of Tslat 1.1.3 have been added.
  • Dimension generation is mostly complete baring some bugs.
  • Mobs and NPCs are not present. Structures with NPCs in them do not have their NPCs as of this snapshot.
  • Dimension specific biomes such as Marshmallow Hills have been temporarily removed, due to biome ID limit issues and inter-biome borders. They will return in future versions.
  • Weather has been removed except clear.

Mobs

• Added Arcworm.
  • Arcworms move at very high speeds and clone themselves on death in the snapshot. It has been confirmed that this is not intended for final release, and is only an easter egg for Snapshot-8.

Blocks

• Added all statues and banners as of Tslat 1.1.3.
• Added grey and golden statues for The Immortals, Baroness, MechBot, and Tyrosaur.
• Added ornate statues - statues that are colored the same as the boss they correspond to.
  • Ornate statues are currently hidden from Just Enough Items and have no known crafting recipe. However, they can be obtained through /give: e.g. /give <player> aoa3:ornate_<bossName>_statue

Items

• Added Arcworm spawn egg.

Changes

Dimensions

• Lunalus no longer has a bedrock/water layer.
• Creeponia has normal caves instead of its own caves. This is a confirmed to be unintentional.
• Trees in various dimensions generate more commonly. In some cases, the trees are cut off, leaving floating blocks in the air. This will likely be fixed for future versions.
  • Dustopia has fewer trees.
• Biomes other than the main dimension biome are not present.
• Precasia has less plants generating on the surface.

Portals

• Portals that generate in a dimension (that the player uses to leave the dimension) have some changes:
  • The size of the portal inside the frame was changed from 2x3 to 3x4.
  • Portals will now generate on top of the ground, instead of partially inside it.
  • All portals will now generate a platform under them if they spawn in mid-air or on the edge of a cliff. Portals will also try to not spawn at the edge of a cliff.
  • The Ancient Cavern and Immortallis portals have remained unchanged.
• Exiting a portal now plays a sound.
• The portal in Creeponia is now made out of Creeponian bricks instead of gravel.
• When entering Runandor, a portal to the abyss generates instead of a Runandor one. This is a confirmed bug.
• Dimension exit portals now link to the dimension they came from. For instance if a Shyrelands portal is placed in the abyss and entered, exiting the shyrelands through the return portal will lead to the abyss.
  • Saving and reloading makes the game "lose" the dimension where it came from. In the above example, saving/reloading in the Shyrelands would result in the exit portal leading to the Overworld instead of back to the Abyss. This is a confirmed bug.

Blocks

Boss statues

• Now have a new orientation in the inventory.
• Now have brand new textures.
• Grey and golden Skelepig, Skele-Hopper, Skeleman, and Skele-Elder statues removed.

Banners

• Now have an item texture.
• Now make a cloth sound when placed.
• Now are fleshed with the walls that they are placed against.
• If not placed against a wall, will have a stand to hold it up.
• Several banners have texture changes.

Gem Bag

• No longer drops dungeon tokens.

Chili

• Moved to Advent Food tab.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the pickmax could be used to mine up boss altars and other unbreakable blocks.
• Fixed a bug where minion slabs fail message was broken.
