Surface 1.2.1b 🐐

G'day everyone! Today's Thursday, and like always, I couldn't wait to release the new beta so that you can enjoy the newest features as soon as possible! This update promises to be massive, so let's launch into it!

Changelog ⚙️

Although this update isn't about a lot of features, but instead about their details, the changelog was still split into separate sections!

Entities 🐌

» Grizzly Bear is a new mob that spawns in the Taiga biomes. Killing a Grizzly Bear will drop its fur, which is the main reason why you may want to explore the vasts of Taiga to find them.

💡Currently, Grizzly Bears don't attack back, which will be changed in future updates.

Tweaks 🔧

» Spruce Saplings now grow into overhauled Spruce trees instead of Vanilla ones.

» The Snail Shells have undergone a major overhaul. Previously, it cost 3 XP levels to apply it to an item, regardless of how many times you had already applied it. However, now the cost of applying the enchantment to an item increases by 2 levels each time you add it to that specific item. Here's an example of how it works in practice:

Let's say you crafted a new diamond pickaxe, and you want to apply a Snail Shell to it. The cost would be 3 XP levels. Later on, your Snail Shell breaks while you're mining, and you decide to add a new one to the pickaxe. At this point, you'll notice that the cost has increased by 2 levels, so it will now cost 5 XP levels to apply the shell to that specific pickaxe.

💡If you're into math, this will explain it way easier: T(timesApplied) = 3 + (timesApplied * 2)

Items ⛏️

» Grizzly's Fur is a new item that can be obtained by killing Grizzly Bears. It can be used to craft Backpacks

» Backpack is a new type of portable storage. You can craft it from Grizzly's Fur, Wool, Leather, and a Chest. Backpacks always have 18 Slots, where you can put any items you want. Backpacks are also dyeable, so you can customize them as much as you want!

Right-clicking a backpack in hand will open its GUI, but here's a nice trick for you: You can wear a backpack on your back to quickly open it by pressing [B] by default.
