Infiltrating the Stronghold

Infested Blocks

• Can be silk touched to get the infested block without triggering the silverfish.
• Placing a block that is not infested on an infested block triggers it if it is the surface you right-clicked to place it unless you click the edge of the block at the correct angle.
• Stepping on a stone pressure plate on an infested block triggers the infested block
• Right-clicking a stone button on an infested block triggers the infested block
• Endermen can pick up infested chiseled stone bricks. (Tested structures to make sure this would not happen as a result of world gen)
• Falling onto a cracked infested block automatically triggers it

Sculkstool

• The friendly sculk stool is hidden in the stronghold library. Find it to get an achievement. Punch it to make it follow you. It slowly regenerates health.

Stronghold Loot

• Volume 1 of the monster manual added to the library chests
• Bottles of Watcher Tears can be found in the crossing chest
• The iron gear is enchanted
• Basic loot probabilities adjusted and removed
• Amethyst shards are now found instead of Redstone
• Chance to find a renamed shovel with bane of arthropods in corridor chests
• Feathers can be found in the crossing chests
• Milk can be found in crossing chests
• Precious materials removed from crossing chests
• Added fishing rod to crossing chests

Recipes

• Amethyst shards are used to craft end crystals instead of glass panes

Watchers

• Watchers can be found hiding inside of unopened stronghold chests
• Sculk watcher now telegraphs its presence with the sound of dripping tears and dripping particles.

Silverfish

• They drop flint

Eye of ender

• Small chance for an eye of ender to transform into an end watcher when it's thrown. It does not despawn.
• If it is at a sculk sensor when it transforms it will destroy the sculk sensor and become a sculk watcher instead
• If it is at a crying obsidian block when it transforms it will destroy the crying obsidian and become an obsidian watcher instead

Spawning

• There is a list of mobs that don’t get killed upon spawning when the datapack piggybacks a watcher spawn off of it.

Code Performance

• Swapped all execute as @s[...] with execute if entity @s[...]

• Overhauled code
• Sculk Watcher stealth raycasting now has 100% accuracy. The sightlines will not clip through any type of diagonal wall.
• end watcher now drops glowstone dust instead of ender pearls
• Changed damage and death sounds for watchers
• Fixed fishing rods pulling shells off shelled endermites and improved their accuracy
• Mostly removed fear aspects from stealthing around sculk watcher
• Removed degrees of stealth from sculk watcher (it either sees you or it doesn't)
• Removed tears from sculk watcher when crying for help (will re-add in another way)
• Added startle mechanic sculk watcher
• Added passive-aggressive hostility mechanic to sculk watcher towards some mobs (only detects certain mobs if they are trying to attack something)
• Armor Stands now only fool sculk watchers when fully armored. This deception only lasts for a moment before the sculk watcher realizes it's not real.
• Sculk watchers are now afraid of projectiles but are only startled by ones that linger after hitting something.
• Sculk watcher is only afraid of creepers when they start to explode
• Invisibility now only hides you from the sculk watcher if you are not wearing anything, not holding anything, and not making eye contact.
• Sculk watcher now properly ignores global.ignore
• Fixed bug where sculk watcher would stop triggering infested blocks at high altitudes
• Updated sculk watcher texture to prevent z-fighting
• Separated code into modules that are consistent across datapacks
• refactored namespace
• Other things I've forgotten
