Abyss Ship

• Loot: High-tier rewards including Ocean King Armor components and Deep Sea Explorer Maps.

Eper Fruit Farming

Players can cultivate Eper Fruit by obtaining seeds from Abyss UFOs. These seeds must be planted on hydrated farmland. The crop has multiple growth stages and, once harvested, provides Eper Fruit which serves as a high-tier food source.

Gear Maintenance

Unlike vanilla equipment, the advanced gear in this mod utilizes custom maintenance mechanics:

• Sharpening: The Phaser Blade loses its effectiveness over time and must be combined with a Phaser Blade Sharpening Kit in a crafting grid to restore its damage output.
• Repair Kits: Ocean King and Phaser Armor cannot be repaired with standard materials like iron or diamonds. Players must craft specific Repair Kits using the boss drops and scales associated with the set.

Crafting Logic

While most recipes follow standard crafting table patterns, they utilize the new materials:

• Boiled Lobster: Smelt Lobster Meat in a Furnace or Smoker.
• Armor Repair Kits: Typically crafted by combining Lobster Shells, Biomechanical Scales, or King's Claws with gold or iron ingots.
• Phaser Blade: Crafted using Biomechanical Scales and a Netherite Sword base (depending on version).
