Shingeki no Craft 2.2.4: Sea of Flowers!

Minecraft 1.21 - 1.21.1

Who would have thought, releasing an original musical piece is quite complicated! Scouts Assault ODM, ODM Gas, New mechanics for the ODM, Firearms, a new music disc, a new painting, QoL changes, balance changes, and many bugs fixed!

The theme of this version was focused on conflict and human violence. The progression of the ODM and uniform was expanded, and both can be upgraded now. New pages were added to the "Titan War" guide to explain this mechanic. Additionally, a new guide has been added: "Mankind", now unlockable upon eliminating a human being (Pillager, Villager or Player), where you can find the crafting recipes for firearms, among other things.

This version has been waiting to be released for a few weeks, partly due to my lack of time to fix some bugs/balance changes found during testing sessions, but mainly in the completion and publication of the track "Broken Armor", which has been added as a music disc and is obtainable through the wandering trader "Bomb: Face Shifter" (I'd like to change this method in the future!). It's also available on Spotify OMG, and the plan is to re-release the "Broken Armor" cinematic in the next weeks with the final piece and this new version for the public!

You have no idea how happy I am to have been able to work with these talented people, credits where they're due! Singer and writer: Amalyn Leong, Composer: Iliya Ryakhovsky, Cover Art: Mikka! Please support them on their social media; all of them are incredible!

It's quite likely that this will be the last version for 1.21-1.21.1 due to the new features that Mojang has introduced to the commands in the latest snapshots, one in particular has slightly altered my plans thoughts on the next shifter. It has been decided to move development to version 1.21.2 of Minecraft in anticipation of this major change that promises to improve the performance and mobility of all shifters. In the meantime, I have worked with Zabat and Hope on the model, textures, and sound effects!

Enjoy the changelog!
