241 quests to guide you through the pack, each with meaningful descriptions and rewards.

Progression revelves around beating bosses and unlocking dimensions. You start in the overworld, with access to a wide variety of gear of varying power, but to get to the REAL good stuff you'll have to access the nether. You won't be able to enter the nether until you've crafted and used a seal of the nether, crafted with various drops from minibosses and powerful mobs. Once you have access to the nether, you'll be able to start obtaining Eyes of Ender, dropped from various bosses across the dimensions. After obtaining 12 of the 16 eyes of ender, you can locate the stronghold and activate an end portal. In the end you'll face off against the Ender Dragon, buffed with tons of health and new attacks. After defeating it you'll have access to the Outer End islands, full of new content and the most powerful gear in the pack.

Mobs get harder throughout the dimensions, but challenge can be avoided if you want. Bossfights, progression, or otherwise is all optional.

Planned progression:

Once in the nether you will be able to spawn the (heavily overhauled) wither for a huge bossfight. Killing it might unlock a terraria-style hard mode stage in still working it out. Once you've killed the wither you will be able to enter the aether. In the aether you will fight several bosses in order to be able to access the end.

Ages of Twilight is made to be playable even on low end computers, though you may experience some lag. It's not the best ever, but it should be passable on most PCs. I recommend giving it 8 GB of ram, that's what I use while developing it, but more couldn't hurt.

Plans are subject to change

After some thought I have decided that instead of some of the updates I had planned for this pack, I will be developing a sequel pack with heavier lore/progression driven gameplay and very in-depth mechanics. The Aether update will continue developement, but will likely be far slowed down and release much much later. I will continue developement on this pack at my interest and not any faster. If you have concerns/questions about this, or have ideas for the upcoming pack, use the comments or send me a private message.

I'm considering a 0.10 update for Ages of Twilight's 1-year anniversary. Post ideas in the comments!

1.0: In developement

1.0 will be a big update with some pretty major changes, and will serve as a "final" (not really) update for the pack. Keep in mind i am only 1 developer and don't spend all my time doing this so it will take a while.

A few of the changes you can look forward to:

The Aether comes to Ages of Twilight! Our first additional dimension, it serves as a final test before entering the end. In the aether, magic won't work, and many items won't have an effect. You will have to progress through a customized progression with none of your previous tools to defeat the final boss. (might be sun spirit, might be something else). Expect overhauled mechanics and bosses + new content for the pack.

Considering: "Hard mode"  After killing the wither, there might be some significant changes to the world (new mobs, ores?). You will only be able to enter the aether once in hard mode.

Considering: End difficulty increase: Prevent teleportation to/from the end (still within it), possibly a corruption mechanic where you don't want to spend too long there.

Expect plenty of balance changes/small mechanics/recipe changes as per usual.

Iron's spellbooks update: 3.15 has been backported to 1.21, so it and all its features (and lore implicatiens mehehe) will be coming in 1.0.

Cavern's and Chasms: Polished up

Caverns and chasms had a huge update which will be very integrated into the pack, with tin probably tying into create progression a bit.

Smaller updates: Dungeon Now Loading 2.2%, Bilokosa, and more!

If other major mod updates happen during the developement of 1.0, you will likely see them come along with it.

Feel free to suggest things and i might add them in the next update.
