Patch Notes/3.15.1

Curseforge Release: August 6th, 2024

IMPORTANT TECHNICAL NOTE

Update 15 Part 1 requires a full server start and restart to enable the new curios slot.

Highlights

Added Bingo Vaults
- This vault objective is to play a game of Bingo and to complete as many lines as possible
- For each line completed, the completion crate loot improves
- To complete the vault, find and interact with a grid gateway. You may complete after one line or continue to try to complete more lines.
- These vaults are recommended for level 50 or above. This objective starts appearing randomly at level 50 or above
- Task modifiers include:
  - Silently: Don’t harm any mob during the task
  - Flawlessly: Avoid taking any damage
  - Rapidly: Perform the task within a timeframe
  - Primitively: Complete the task without using mana
  - Combo: Multiple smaller tasks to be completed in a sequence within a timeframe
Added Cards and Card Decks
- Cards are mini buffs that can be combined to strengthen your gameplay
- Cards appear in booster packs after level 50. Booster packs appear in completion crates and in the black market
- Card decks, either found or crafted, are necessary to use cards. Cards only have an effect if placed inside a Card Deck, and the Card Deck is worn in the specific Curios item slot for them
- Card types include: Stat, Arcane, Resource, Temporal, and Evolution. Each has a unique set of effects
- A Card Essence Extractor may be used to recycle unwanted cards. Inserted cards on the left are consumed when a redstone signal is applied to the block. This results in an amount of essence being stored in the block, displayed as a number in the GUI. This essence can be used to upgrade Evolution or Stat type cards to a higher tier, increasing the power of the card
