Auroral 1.5.4

Added

• The Auroral Guidebook is now its own Auroral item with a proper recipe and a real icon. Crafting a book with a snowball still produces the guidebook, and right-clicking it opens the Auroral guide.

Changed

• The in-game guide has been completely restyled. Every page now opens with a large item picture and a one line summary, sections are separated by clear dividers, and headings are colored. Important sub-topics show a small inline item picture next to a colored sub-heading. Recipes appear inline beneath the relevant block, and cross-references between pages are clickable item links.

Fixed

• The guidebook now registers as a proper Auroral item. Previously the recipe produced a generic GuideME book that carried the Auroral guide reference internally, which meant it never appeared as an Auroral item to JEI lookups, search, KubeJS scripts, or /give commands. The new guidebook is a real Auroral item that behaves the same as any other.
• The guide table of contents now lists every page under the Auroral heading, each with the correct icon next to its entry. Before this fix, only the home page and a couple of others were attached to the main heading. The rest of the pages floated around the table of contents without parents or icons.
• Guide page files have been relocated to the folder GuideME expects, which prevents the guide from failing to load when other mods that use GuideME are installed alongside Auroral.
• The Food and Drinks heading in the guide no longer shows the literal text & instead of an ampersand.

Docs

• Every guide page now has a hero picture at the top, gold colored section headings, and inline cross-links and recipes where relevant. This covers the Introduction, First Steps, Aurora Events, Aurora Creatures, all Flora pages, every Shimmersteel and Shimmerweave gear page, Decorations, and Food and Drinks.
• Page ordering in the table of contents now follows category ranges, so the list reads top to bottom in the same order as the home page: Getting Started, the Aurora, Flora, Shimmersteel, Shimmerweave, Decorations, then Food and Drinks.

Auroral 1.0.7

Backports of fixes from the 26.1 / 1.5.2 branch that also affect 1.21.1.

Fixed

• Aurora Lanterns now drop themselves when broken instead of disappearing.
• Glow Leeks now drop a leek plus bonus seeds when harvested at full maturity, like wheat. Reap mod's right-click harvest works correctly too.
• Hearthwood Logs can be relit with flint and steel after they burn out, matching the guide.
• Shimmering Ice now hydrates vanilla farmland within 4 blocks, not just Shimmer Soil, matching the guide. Works for Shimmering Ice placed before this update too.
• The show_aurora_particles and play_aurora_ambient_sound client config toggles now actually do something. Previously both were defined but never read, so toggling them had no effect. (fixes issue #1)

Auroral 1.5.2

Added

• Tooltips on every Auroral weapon, armor piece, and functional block explaining what they do. Shimmersteel tools, Shimmerweave armor, the Shimmer Spear, Hearthwood Log, Glacial Basin, Cold Brewing Stand, Shimmering Ice, Shimmer Soil, Snow Angels, Aurora Blooms, Ender Blooms, Glow-Leeks, Aurora Lanterns, Frozen Petals, and Aurora Ender Shards all call out their abilities so you don't have to check the guide mid-fight.

Changed

• Shimmer Spear is now a proper stabbing spear instead of a throwable trident. It uses the 26.1 spear combat style: long reach, piercing stab, hold right-click to charge and release for a committed strike. Every hit still applies Frostbite, and during an aurora it deals bonus damage and inflicts a longer, stronger Frostbite.

Fixed

• Aurora Lanterns now drop themselves when broken instead of disappearing.
• Glow Leeks now drop a leek plus bonus seeds when harvested at full maturity, like wheat. Reap mod's right-click harvest works correctly too.
• Aurora Blooms growing on snow now drop Frozen Petals and the decorative variant when broken. The snow restore was happening before the drops rolled and was eating them.
• Young Aurora Blooms (stages 0-2) are no longer hidden inside a single snow layer when planted on snow.
• The Aurora Bloom item tooltip no longer shows the raw translation key and now says "Aurora Bloom" like it should.
• Hearthwood Logs can be relit with flint and steel after they burn out, matching the guide.
• Shimmersteel Axes strip logs, scrape copper, and remove wax again — not only force-oxidize copper.
• Shimmersteel Shovels can create dirt paths and douse campfires again.
• The Shimmersteel Upgrade Smithing Template no longer shows the magenta-and-black "missing texture" checkerboard in empty slots; the ice-themed icons for all equipment types display correctly. Hoe and Spear slot icons are now included in the rotation since both are upgrade targets. (fixes issue #6)
• Broken guide links on the Shimmer Spear page no longer throw "Page does not exist" errors. (fixes issue #5)
• Shimmering Ice now hydrates vanilla farmland within 4 blocks, not just Shimmer Soil, matching the guide. Works for Shimmering Ice placed before this update too. (fixes issue #4)
• The show_aurora_particles and play_aurora_ambient_sound client config toggles now actually do something. Previously both were defined but never read, so toggling them had no effect. (fixes issue #1)

Docs

• Guide index pages now show a small item icon next to each entry so the table of contents is easier to scan.
• Hearthwood Log guide now accurately describes the Aurora Catalyst boost: +15% aurora chance per lit log nearby, stacking up to three logs for +45%. The two guide pages previously contradicted each other (one said "guaranteed", the other said "slight").
• Hearthwood Log burn time corrected from "7 real-world days" to "7 in-game days of play time" (roughly two and a half hours while the area is loaded). The timer only counts down while the chunk is active.

Auroral 1.5.1

Fixed

• Cold Brewing Stand screen no longer hides the player inventory and brewing slots behind the background texture (1.5.0 regression from the 26.1 GUI API migration)

Added

• Brazilian Portuguese (pt_br) translation, contributed by the community

Auroral 1.5.0

Changed

• Updated to NeoForge 26.1.2.22-beta. Requires a matching loader version
• Internal cleanup to match current Minecraft and NeoForge APIs. No gameplay changes
