Adventure
Legacies includes so much more to discover - whether it's the Boomerang, Katana, new mobs, music discs, lore books and more to discover. This page is dedicated to highlighting just a few of the many cool features included in Legacies.
Mechanics
Here are some of the mechanical improvements included as part of Legacies.
Seasons
Legacies has shifting seasons - Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. These seasons affect both the world around you, and the growth speed of various crops.
Enchantment Descriptions
When hovering over enchanted books or items in the inventory, you can hold shift in order to view enchantment descriptions.
Combat Overhaul
Combat in Legacies has seen significant revision, with every tool having new damage values, attack speed, and in some cases even increased/decreased reach.
Furthermore, numerous quality-of-live improvements have been made, such as the ability to swing through grass.
Armor Changes
Armor has been completely rebalanced. Vanilla armor values have been re-adjusted, and toughness now applies a bonus to defence based on the remaining durability of your armor pieces.
Hunger Rework
Saturation no longer increases regen speed. You are now always able to regenerate health slowly, provided you have enough hunger points to sprint. Regenerating health will directly consume hunger points.
Wandering Traders
Wandering Traders are now far more useful, with completely overhauled trades from the Villager Trade Rebalance alongside all-new ones, such as Dungeon Explorer Maps and Tablets of Recall/Revealing/Haste
Music Improvements
In addition to the plethora of new music added by Legacies, additional quality-of-life improvements have been remade in regards to music.
- music now plays whilst the game is paused
- you can now view the name and author of the currently-playing music track by checking the top-left corner of the pause menu
- music now plays more frequently
- background music no longer interrupts jukeboxes
Server Pause
When playing on a multiplayer server, time will pause whilst all players are offline. Furthermore, if all players currently present in a server are paused, the server itself will pause, similarly to in singleplayer.
Items
Here are a few cool new items you can find or craft whilst adventuring in Legacies.
Boomerang
Arguably the most unique new weapon, with 4 exclusive enchantments. Found in Dungeons, Boomerangs travel far and spin fast - the longer they fly, the more damage they do. Whilst you'll have to find most of their enchantments in the world, they can get Rebound from the enchanting table, and also work with Flame, Freeze, Decay, Rejuvenate and Featherweight.
Katana
Strikes fast and has the ability to block like a shield. The Dueling enchant allows you to take reduced knockback, and the Relentless enchant rewards you for comboing your foes.
Music Discs
Legacies includes many new Music Discs to find.
Refer (LudoCrypt) - found in Remnants
Retold (Soul_) - found in Remnants
Infinite Spooky Amethyst (Judio Kallio) - found in Pale Cabins
Castles (Soul_) - found in Simple Dungeons
Svall (Soul_) - found in Mineshafts
Shulker (T_en_M) - found in End Cities
Tundra (T_en_M) - found in Igloos and Frozen Dungeons
Far Lands (Steelman) - re-assembled from disc fragments found throughout the Overworld
Fausse Vie (Zhen) - found in Catacombs
Ossuaire (Zhen) - found in Catacombs
Stasis (Zhen) - found in Snowy Ruins
Tablets
Tablets are single-use consumables with varying times to use. If you are hit while using a totem, the activation is cancelled and you must try again. Tablets can be found from specific world structures, depending on the tablet in question.
Tablet of Recall | After a long use duration, you are teleported to your spawn point. Does not work between dimensions.
Tablet of Revealing | After a short use duration, all nearby entities are revealed through the Glowing effect.
Tablet of Haste | After a short use duration, apples the haste effect.
Tablet of Levitation | After a short use duration, launches you into the sky.
Tablet of Deafening | After a long use duration, lets out a shriek and gives all nearby entities Darkness, Weakness and Slowness for a short time.
Tablet of Channeling | After a long use duration, thunder roars and a storm appears.
Lore Books
Many structures now have a very low chance to contain a lore book, a written book with a short excerpt of lore embedded. There are quite a few, and are designed to complement the very minimalistic and open-ended lore and story of the base game in similar ways.
There are a total of 23 books to discover.
Mobs
Here is just a small selection of the many new mobs added as part of Legacies.
Mooblooms
Mooblooms have been added to the game, with a multitude of variants for different flowers.
Penguins
Penguins are awesome, and work just as you'd expect - they follow your boat and boost your speed when in one. They're also incredibly cute.
Rascal
Find these guys whilst exploring caves - find them enough times and you'll even earn some loot!
Copper Golem
Place a copper block, carved pumpkin and lightning rod atop one another to create a Copper Golem.
Glare
Found in lush caves, this mob will guide you to dark areas to help you work out where monsters can spawn.
Wildfire
Native to the Citadel structure, Wildfire's can be a challenging blaze-like enemy to fight.
New Illagers
Such as the Mauler, Iceologer or Illusioner.
New End Mobs
Such as the Rubblemite or Rustle.
