1.3

Introducing the Blooming Caverns! This update contains Bloom-related wood and blocks along with a new fish: the Angler Fish. These can be found in the new biome found in the Otherside called the Blooming Caverns. Additionally, Crystallized Ambers can now generate with loot inside them and Soul Elytras can boost again! A lot of issues related to Sculk Transmitters were fixed and Sculk Snappers can now sit!

To make it easier for people to customize the mod, there is also a configuration file where you can adjust values of the mod to suit your preference. We also added descriptions for our enchantments and the ability to translate biome names. The full changelog is below:
