- _Completely revamped how Empowered gear is created to a much more player-friendly system._
+ **Empowered gear no longer requires a crafting table. It now uses the Smithing Table.**
+ **Empowering an item now only requires a Netherite Smithing Template and a Nether Star. Making Empowering overall cheaper (still requires Wither kills) and not forcibly removing your enchants!**
- _Empowering a Crossbow or Bow still does not transfer over enchants due to how Smithing works internally so you will still have to re-upgrade those._
- Added Empowered Saddle **(Gives +4 Armor, +25% Max HP, +1 Knockback Resistance, +30% Jump Strength, and +30% Speed)**
- Added new enchantment **Double Tap** for Bows. Drops from any elites very rarely. The following effects occur when applied to a bow:
* **Bows fire two projectiles at once instead of one.**
* **Arrow damage is increased (Stacks with Power)**
* **Bows take increased durability damage and take two arrows at once instead of one.**
* **Incompatible with Infinity enchantment.**
- Empowered Netherite Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, and Boots now have **+4 Armor Toughness** rather than +3.
- Empowered Mace now has a slight boost in attack speed. **(0.6 -> 0.8)**
- Empowered Crossbow now gives **+15% Speed when used in your Main hand**. Offhanding it only gives you **+10% Speed**.
- Empowered Bow now gives **+15% Sneak Speed when used in your Main hand**. Offhanding it only gives you **+10% Sneak Speed**.
- Increased Empowered Shield durability. **(536 -> 672 aka exactly x2 the durability of a normal shield)**
- Increased Empowered Trident attack damage. **(12 -> 13)**
- Increased Empowered Wolf Armor durability. **(100 -> 128 aka exactly x2 the durability of normal wolf armor)**
- Using the Looting Enchantment now has an even higher chance to cause Withered Knights to drop Wither Skeleton Skulls.
- Reduced the amount of Exp Bottles dropped by all Elite enemies due to the change to Empowerment.
- The **[Ready to Empower]** advancement now requires only a Nether Star and Netherite Upgrade Template to be in your inventory and now states to use the Smithing Table.
- The **[Overwhelming Dedication]** advancement now requires an Empowered Saddle to be smithed/crafted as well.
- Fixed [EXP Hoarder] no longer having an icon in the Advancements page.
- Fixed Withered Knights very rarely dropping equipped items.
