Dragonstone - Patch 1.8.2

Cycle 9 - Patch 1.8.2

New Items

[NEW] Spawner Harvester

• Added to the Aether Forge!
• Can harvest one mob spawner, allowing it to drop as an item!
• Great for relocating spawners to build a farm at your base.
  
• Requires a Heavy Core.
  • Why? The reason is to artificially limit how many spawners each player can move. Each player can use every trial vault in the world once, so this allows everyone to have chances at obtaining Heavy Cores while making it more difficult for extremely overpowered mob farms to be built.

[NEW] Ignis Ardere

• Added to the Hellstone Forge!
• A strong Tier II greataxe with a large slashing arc.
• Can summon a pillar of fire that moves across terrain, damaging anything caught in its path.
• Also has +1 attack range and two gem slots!

[NEW] Gemstone Rework!

• All items with gem slots now have 7 different gemstones to pick from!
• Gemstones have been simplified and are no longer seperated by forge type.
  • All magic focuses will work on any wand!
  • All runestones will work on any melee item!
  • Gemstones for bows will be added in a future patch!
• [NEW] Attunement: Purple gemstones can change the behavior of some items! Check the patch notes for each item to see what purple gemstones will do for them!

⚠️ Known Issues ⚠️

• All of my gemstones disappeared.
  • Sadly this is a side-effect of the gemstone rework. Feel free to open a ticket and let us know what gemstones you had!
  • We also made gemstones (hopefully) easier to craft.
• All of my items in /equip disappeared.
  • I was forced to completely redo /equip due to the plugin developers recoding their plugin.
  • If you believe you lost anything, feel free to open a ticket!
• Mana generators are not equippable.
  • I will be moving mana generators into the four equipment slots instead of having dedicated mana slots.
  • Expect to see new versions of mana generators soon!
• Aether Staff is not working.
  • Unsure what is causing this but will look into it soon.
• Several forges are not working, such as restackerator, shard conversion, essence crafter, etc.
  • We were forced to redo all of the recipes and inventory layouts for all forges recently due to the plugin developers recoding their plugin.
  • I have not finished converting all forges yet, this will take a bit of time!
• A bunch of shopkeepers have missing textures as trades or emeralds for forge materials.
  • Please ask the shop owners to fix their trades! The resource pack update changed a lot of stuff. Thanks mojang!
• Some items in my inventory or storage have missing textures!
  • Please drop and pick back up affected items to trigger an auto-update which should fix them!
    
• Soul Storage & Leaderboards are not working!
  • There is currently an issue connecting to the database which is storing player values.
  • I will try to fix this soon but I sadly do not know the cause of the issue yet.
• Forges and /equip have grid lines running through them!
  • This is sadly mojang's fault, for some reason they made it so textures can't go outside of their inventory squares anymore which messed up the effect we used to make smooth looking elements for inventories.
