Today I bring you the end to the distortion series. Dark Vendrick awaits.
But before we dive in to what's new.
Today is the 1 year anniversary of Vendrick being uploaded. I genuinely cannot believe how far this plugin has come. I find it funny how one day I said to my friend. "I'm bored I'm gonna make a boss fight" and look where that got me. 1000 downloads and 2 donations later, I'm sitting here proud of myself. This was my first ever go at making and supporting a quality plugin. And I loved every second of it. So if this is your first taste of Vendrick or you've been here since the dark days of pre multiplayer update. Thank you so much.
▶ Dark Vendrick
Dark Vendrick is the newest and final distortion you must fight. He is much harder than the past 3 but brings the best rewards.
You require 3 of the new Void Cores to spawn him but these do not drop from mobs, you acquire these from defeating any distortion. Dark Vendrick himself drops a void core fragment that can be used to craft into Void Cores.
Dark vendrick brings 8 new items (apart from the cores). Including a brand new armour set. Each piece with its own special ability.
Each ability is editable in the config. But there's more on that below.
Each piece requires 2 pieces of Enchanted Infinium to craft. along with some extra Infinium. You craft these pieces like you would a regular armour piece. (The exact recipes will be on the GitHub wiki)
There is also another incredibly rare drop obtained from only Dark Vendrick.
▶ Config Changes
You are now able to change the enchants found on many of the items in the plugin to better suit your server's existing items.
This is how the eternal hatchet look in the default config. To add an enchant you add to the list under "enchants". You then add the name of the enchant and the level it has. Invalid enchants will not be added and invalid enchant levels will be defaulted to 1.
Here is a large list of all the new additions to the config.

The Future of Vendrick
I have made the decision for this to be the last
public large content update for the plugin. This type of plugin doesn't give me a lot of wriggle room with updates as its always a gamble whether some servers like the changes and some servers don't. Along with that. The distortions gave me a clear roadmap of things to add, which also allowed the plugin to not be filled with unneeded content. Along with that, Now that the distortions are done. I do not know what else the plugin needs now. It's in a good spot right now.
I call it the last public large update as i am aware that there are servers who really enjoy Vendrick and may also want some extra features. I am 110% willing to make these for anyone who wants them. Only now, for a small fee. (This does not apply to existing donators for their first 2 orders). Bug fix patches will always be public and will continue to come when they're needed.
If you are interested in a custom Vendrick update. Please start a conversation with me or contact me on discord at Rain_stxrm#6917.
Well. That was a long one.
As always. Any issues let me know.
Good Luck!
