This update expands Nether progression through lava fishing, new lava-based content, and multiple system improvements introduced during the beta phase. --- ### Lava Fishing Lava fishing is now fully integrated using the **Netherite Fishing Rod**. Loot depends on where and how you fish: **Junk Loot (Overworld lava)** - Charcoal - Gravel - Fire Charge - Obsidian **Nether Junk Loot (no treasure conditions in the Nether)** - Nether Brick - Magma Block - Magma Cream - Glowstone Dust - Basalt - Crying Obsidian - Pompeii Worm - Blind Shrimp - (Junk Loot) **Treasure tier (natural Nether lava oceans with proper conditions)** - Iron Ingots - Gold Ingots - Fire/combat Enchanted Books - Netherite Upgrade Template - Netherite Nuggets - (Nether Junk Loot) --- ### New Lava Creatures - Pompeii Worm (Volcanic Infusion Effect (Mobility)) - Blind Shrimp (Lava Vision Effect) --- ### New Effects & Enchantments **Lava Vision (Effect)** - Clear vision inside lava - Expiry warning pulse during last 10 seconds **Volcanic Infusion (Effect)** - Better movement in lava **Volcanic Walker (Enchantment)** - Lava equivalent of Frost Walker - Can only be obtained through lava fishing ### Fusion Forge Updates - Fuel system reworked - Stores up to 20,000 fuel units - Fuel accumulates instead of being consumed sequentially - Animated fuel display - Tooltip shows current/max fuel - Lava buckets return empty buckets correctly - Hopper-compatible bucket extraction - Large-value fuel sync fixed --- ### Debris Resonator Improvements - Runtime state moved to lore - Clear distance tiers - Improved particles and sounds - Recharge economy adjusted - Toggle rules refined --- All systems introduced in 1.4 beta have been stabilized. --- ## ⭐ New in v1.3: Fusion Forge ### Fusion Forge An advanced **metal fusion workstation** designed for late-game efficiency and consistency. The Fusion Forge processes **two material inputs + fuel**, allowing metals to be fused for **higher and more reliable yields** than traditional smelting or Fortune-based mining. Its true potential is unlocked by installing a **Nether Star catalyst** (permanent, non-consumable), which **doubles all outputs** and pushes resource efficiency beyond Fortune III averages — without relying on RNG. ![fusion_forge_showcase_placeholder](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/9dc9de7fc2ca67fe1b89ab60dd9480d0a9ab7b46.png) --- ### Core Mechanics * Requires **2 input slots + fuel** to operate. * Optional **Nether Star catalyst**: * Not consumed. * Doubles all recipe outputs. * Designed to outperform **Fortune III averages**, not theoretical maximums. * Focused on **late-game optimization**, not early progression skips. --- ### Example Fusion Recipes | Recipe Type | Inputs | Base Output | With Nether Star | |-------------------|--------------------------------------|----------------------------|------------------| | Ore Fusion | Silk-touched ore + Copper Ingot | ~Fortune II average | **x2 output** | | Netherite Fusion | Ancient Debris Scrap + Gold Ingot | 3 Netherite Nuggets | **6 Nuggets** | | Alloy Fusion | Raw Iron + Coal | 3 Iron Ingots | **6 Iron Ingots** | > Outputs are balanced per material based on vanilla Fortune drop tables. ![Fusion_forge_craft](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/616ce33846f4b49146bd1e0dbc519724d58d31b0.png) ---

Data-Driven Recipes (Advanced)

Fusion Forge recipes are **fully data-driven** and not hardcoded. Custom recipes can be defined via JSON using the `lategameplus:fusion_forge` recipe type: ```json { "type": "lategameplus:fusion_forge", "input_a": "minecraft:raw_iron", "input_b": "#minecraft:coals", "result": { "id": "minecraft:iron_ingot", "count": 3 }, "experience": 0.5, "cook_time": 200, "fuel_cost": 100 } ```` * `input_a` and `input_b` are **order-independent**. * Fully compatible with **datapacks** for custom balancing or mod integration. * Designed for extensibility by advanced users and modpack creators.
