Deep Dark Depths

Changelog

v0.1.0-alpha — Initial Release

_The depths open for the first time_.

New Features

Sound Detection System

- All player actions now generate noise (mining, walking, running, combat, chest interactions) - Configurable noise levels for each action type - Debug mode shows real-time noise levels in action bar

Sound-Based Mob Targeting

- Mobs below Y=64 hunt by sound instead of sight - Deeper zones = more sensitive mob hearing - Creepers and Endermen remain visual-only (configurable)

Stealth Mechanics

- Sneaking reduces noise by 90% - Silk Touch tools reduce mining noise by 50% - Wool blocks nearby dampen sound by 70%

Progressive Difficulty

- Mobs scale in strength based on depth: - Surface (Y≥64): Normal stats - Shallow (Y 0-63): +25% HP, +15% damage - Deep (Y -32 to -1): +75% HP, +50% damage - Abyss (Y<-32): +150% HP, +100% damage

Depth-Based Loot

- Bonus loot chance increases with depth (10% → 50%) - XP multipliers scale with depth (1.25x → 2.5x) - Rare drops: diamonds, ancient debris, echo shards in Abyss -

Environmental Hazards

- Cave-ins: Mining can trigger ceiling collapse (5-15% chance) - Gas pockets: Random poison/nausea when mining (3% chance) - Darkness debuff: Applied below Y=-48 without light source
