OATHWROUGHT 0.5 - ECHOES BEYOND

Version 0.5 expands Oathwrought with two new realms and extends the pack's smithing, exploration, cooking, enchanting, and navigation rules to their content.

NEW REALMS

Deeper and Darker expands the Deep Dark, Ancient City progression, and the path into the Otherside.

Eternal Starlight adds a separate dimension with new terrain, structures, creatures, bosses, resources, equipment, and discoveries.

Eternal Starlight's Delight connects the new dimension to Farmer's Delight through new ingredients, meals, kitchen content, and material knives.

OVERGEARED COMPATIBILITY

Ordinary Eternal Starlight tools, weapons, armor, shields, bows, crossbows, and Delight knives no longer use their simple crafting-table recipes. They are forged on the proper Overgeared Smithing Anvil and cannot be made on the Stone Smithing Anvil.

Craftable named weapons have also been integrated into Overgeared forging. Boss drops, mob drops, barter rewards, and structure loot remain earned rewards and are not forced through a crafting recipe.

Applicable forged tools and weapons support forging quality and polishing. Blueprints remain optional, but trained blueprints are the reliable route to the best results.

HEATING AND CASTING

Amaramber, Deepsilver, Thermal Springstone, Unrealium, Aethersent, and Golem Steel now have functional heated forms. Their metal-heavy tool and weapon recipes use heated ingots and quenching where appropriate. Armor, crystal gear, and other cold recipes remain cold.

Realm metals can be heated in a Furnace, Blast Furnace, Create bulk smelter, Smithing Alloy Furnace, Nether Smithing Alloy Furnace, or Starlight Alloy Furnace.

Selected metal-heavy Starlight tools support reusable molds and whole-item casts as an alternate route. Complex, organic, crystal, and armor items remain forge-only.

The two Overgeared alloy furnaces have been renamed Smithing Alloy Furnace and Nether Smithing Alloy Furnace so they are easier to distinguish from Eternal Starlight's Starlight Alloy Furnace.

EQUIPMENT BALANCE

Resonarium tools are now modestly stronger, faster, and more durable than Diamond equipment. The Resonarium Upgrade template now correctly states that it applies to Diamond equipment.

Resonarium armor retains its native protection values because each worn piece absorbs 25 percent of incoming damage. New tooltips explain that benefit, its rapid durability cost, and its Protection and Mending restrictions.

Amaramber tools, its knife, and the Candlash now have 400 base durability and gain 0.5 attack damage. The Amaramber Mask and Chestplate now provide 3 and 7 armor, 0.5 toughness, and improved durability.

All other equipment was audited against its material cost, acquisition method, special effects, and nearby vanilla tiers. Strong specialist gear, dimension upgrades, and earned rewards retain their native statistics.

The cheap Eternal Starlight Netherite recipe has been disabled because it bypassed Oathwrought's heated Netherite alloy and forging progression.

NAVIGATION

A filled map anywhere in the player's inventory now unlocks the circular minimap. It no longer needs to occupy the hand or hotbar.

A normal compass anywhere in the inventory continues to reveal coordinates and facing direction.

The distributed HUD keeps Xaero's minimap in the upper-right and GUI Compass information in its normal upper-left position so both remain visible.

ENCHANTING AND DEEP DARK BALANCE

Enchanting Overhauled tome chances are now 45 percent in epic chests, 20 percent in rare chests, 8 percent in uncommon chests, and 2 percent in common chests.

A tamed Sculk Snapper's stored enchanted-book limit is capped at four.

PLAYER GUIDES

The one-time Oathwrought Field Guide and free blank-map grant have been repaired. The guide now explains realm forging, heat, casting, polishing, Resonarium behavior, navigation, Enchanting Overhauled, and the new dimensions.

Each player also receives an Oathwrought 0.5 patch-note book covering only the additions in Echoes Beyond. Future releases can replace this version-specific book while CurseForge preserves the full changelog history.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

A new world is strongly recommended so the new dimensions, structures, terrain, and creatures can generate as intended.

Check JEI whenever a familiar recipe does not work. Oathwrought intentionally replaces many ordinary equipment recipes with Overgeared forging.

Thank you for playing and for seeing the work behind Oathwrought.
