# CliffTree 3.2.0 for 26.1 After quite a while, CliffTree is finally out for Tiny Takeover! Due to the removal of the "random patch" feature type, this release has been delayed for some time. But it's not just a hotfix either, several new features are coming, from pale caves below to the starry skies above! ## New biomes: Skies - Added 10 sky biomes that generate above the cloud level - All sky biomes have slightly darker sky colors, closer fog and some stars visible - Rain and snow will not fall in sky biomes - Unless otherwise specified, hostile mob spawning works as normal, given spawning conditions are met - Sky biomes are not required for the "Adventuring Time" advancement <details> <summary> List of Sky Biomes</summary> - **Azure Skies** spawn above most biomes (e.g. plains, forests) - **Celadon Skies** spawn above arid biomes (e.g. deserts, badlands) - **Indigo Skies** spawn above frigid biomes (e.g. snowy biomes, tundra) - **Viridian Skies** spawn above Swamps, Kelp Forests, and Jungles - **Cerulean Skies** spawn above most rivers. These can also spawn Drowned, allowing farms to still be built - **Frozen Summit** spawns above Frozen Peaks - **Jagged Summit** spawns above Jagged Peaks - **Stony Summit** spawns above Stony Peaks - **Atmospore** spawns above Mushroom Fields. Like its land counterpart, no mobs spawn here - **The Frontier** spawns above all sky biomes when it nears the build limit. No mobs spawn here - Star particles occasionally spawn, representing baby stars that are born in the Overworld's atmosphere, where they're safer from celestial predators </details> ## New biome: Pale Grotto - A symptom of the Pale Garden's spread, covered in hanging moss and pale moss patches - Generates below Pale Gardens, killing off Lush Cave ecosystems that would have been there - Hostile mobs spawn as normal, but Spiders are more common, while Creepers are less common ### Changes to moss spreading - Moss blocks and pale moss blocks will try to overtake one another when growing - They will also try to supplant certain moss-related vegetation with the opposite type - Pale moss will also kill azalea bushes when spreading, turning them into dead bushes. They cannot be revived by spreading moss - In order to allow moss to be used outside of the Lush Cave context in the future, the vegetation produced by moss will now be dependent on certain environmental factors: - By default, only moss carpets, grasses, and classic vines will spread - Azalea bushes, cave vines, and spore blossoms can also spread if a spore blossom is present up to 5 blocks above nearby - Azalea bushes and cave vines can also spread if others of its kind are present nearby ### Other biome-specific changes - Oak trees will now only generate in Pale Gardens when bordering other forest biomes - Flower Forests can rarely generate Golden Dandelions in Dandelion patches - Dark Forests now have darker grass and foliage colors - Forest biome has more defined noise-based clearings - Fixed stone sometimes taking over Granite and Diorite shore biomes - Rocks in Old Growth Taigas can occasionally spawn with moss blocks around it - Taigas and Old Growth Taigas now generate Azure Bluet patches - Reduced amount of mud in Jungles - Dry Grass in Beaches mostly no longer expands into non-beach biomes ### Miscellaneous changes - Bonemealing flowers may be better in some biomes - Has a chance of generating most flowers the biome can spawn with, independent of noise patterns - Flowers that match the noise patterns are still favored - Block light has special tints in some biomes, most noticeably in cave biomes like Frozen Caves, Inferno, and Deep Dark - By default, block light is now less warm and more neutral - Some biomes have different dripstone dripping particles - Arid biomes like badlands and deserts have none - The Inferno biome has lava ### Note on [Tectonic](https://modrinth.com/datapack/tectonic) compatibility: The mod version of both CliffTree and Tectonic are compatible with each other, but currently sky biomes will not generate when Tectonic is installed. A fix is planned in the future. <details> <summary> Special Thanks</summary> - [Evergreene](https://modrinth.com/user/Evergreene), for coming up with the hilarious name "Atmospore" and the lore of baby stars - Hiro (from Penumbra Discord), for coming up with the cool name "The Frontier" - Sierra (and probably several others), for suggesting a "Pale Lush Cave" type biome which became the Pale Grotto - The [No Man's Land](https://modrinth.com/mod/no-mans-land) team, who shared an image of their skydogs and starry skies, which was partial inspiration for the sky biomes - Zeean, for taking me to the local library where I'm able to lock in on finishing this update - [Apollo](https://modrinth.com/user/Apollo), for helping me write this changelog while I was burnt out - [NovaWostra](https://modrinth.com/user/NovaWostra) and [notNoita](https://modrinth.com/user/notNoita), for playtesting and finding a bunch of bugs I would have never caught myself </details> **Report CliffTree issues [here](https://github.com/Penumbra-MC/CliffTree/issues)**
