This update focuses on critical reliability fixes for spawning and encounter permissions, ensuring Rustling Spots behave consistently for all players in survival and on servers.

---

🐛 Fixes

• Fixed an issue where Rustling Spots could stop spawning in the Overworld due to incorrect surface detection. This restores reliable surface, water and cave spawns.

Rustling Spots v1.5

This update expands Rustling Spots into the Nether with two brand new Nether-exclusive families, improves localization support, refreshes the Water loot pool and fixes cave spawning logic.

Note for servers and modpacks: To refresh modded biome compatibility and restore the latest default Pokémon and item pools, it is recommended to delete the folders inside config/rustlingspots (do not delete the .toml files). Then restart to regenerate updated defaults.

---

📌 Changelog

• Added two new Nether-exclusive Rustling Spot families, expanding exploration and encounters across the Nether:
  • 🔥 NetherFlamme
    A new Rustling Spot that appears directly on lava surfaces and netherrack in the Nether.
    Focused on pure fire and extreme heat, it can reveal Fire-type Pokémon adapted to molten environments and roll lava-themed loot such as magma-related items, fire berries, Poké Balls and rare Fire Stones.
  • 🔵 SoulFlame
    A second Nether-exclusive Rustling Spot spawning only on Soul Sand and Soul Soil.
    SoulFlame leans into a darker atmosphere with Ghost, Dark and cursed Fire Pokémon surrounded by blue flames and soul energy.
    Loot includes soul-themed blocks, spectral items, Ghost and Dark gems, Dusk Balls and rare artifacts such as Dusk Stones.
• Added new translations: French, Japanese, Russian, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish and Chinese.
• Added Trident, Spelon Berry and Aguav Berry to the Water items pool.

---

🐛 Fixes

Rustling Spots v1.3

This update focuses on improving interaction reliability across dimensions, refining particle behavior and adding new configuration options to better support vertical gameplay and mounted players.

---

📌 Changes

• Water burst particles refined. The downward pull has been removed and replaced with a gentler upward motion so underwater bubbles remain compact near the surface.
• New server-side configuration to extend vertical interaction reach for Rustling Spots. Default value is Y +2, allowing reliable interaction while riding tall mounts. Spot interaction checks now include this upward allowance while keeping the existing horizontal radius logic.
• Flying Burst particle tuning with adjusted minimum and maximum animation lifetimes and a slight refinement of the particle spread range.
• Expanded allowed dimensions. Rustling Spots can now operate by default in:
  • The Nether
  • The End

---

🐛 Fixes

• Fixed an issue where Rustling Spots could stop functioning after visiting the Nether, the End or other dimensions. Returning to a dimension now correctly restores spot interactions and behavior.
