Celestial Fruit Source Code Question

[candid plover]

So, I was looking through the source code of the mod, specifically the block that adds the Celestial Fruit to the generated loot (inside SpecialLootModifier.java L86-95).
And to me, it really looks like the Celestial Fruit cannot be obtained at all if the first end loot chest wasn't opened with the Ring of the Seven Curses, I am understanding this right? And is it the intended behavior?

Yes this is the intended behaviour.
You are supposed to equip the ring early on in the game for the curses to be the most punishing.

If you got to the end without the ring equipped and already done everything you need to do there there would be no challenge so you also do not get the rewards for facing that challenge.

If that the intended behavior, shouldn't it be mentioned somewhere?
For example, in the FAQ, its just written:

A: If you wear Ring of the Seven Curses, you will find it in the first loot chest you open in End City.```
And it never mentions that you needed the ring **before** opening your first chest.

Also, is there a config to change that? Like the CursedRingSuperCursedTime for the Abyssal Artifacts?

[hardy hornet]

you will find it in the FIRST chest you open in an end city.
Not in the first chest you open with the ring equiped...

[candid plover]

I think that the phrasing is too vague and can be interpreted as:
If you wear Ring of the Seven Curses, you will find it in the first loot chest you open in End City after you equipped the ring.
Instead of something like:
If you wear Ring of the Seven Curses before entering the end, you will find it in the first loot chest you open in End City.

[hardy hornet]

Then It would be the NEXT chest you open.
We are often vague by choice. It adds to the whole flair of ENIGMATIC Legacy.

Anyhow your question was answered.

[candid plover]

Thanks for your answers. :)

I still have 1 last question, about the Ichor Bottle this time.
Is it normal that I was able to loot multiple Ichor Bottles, even after drinking my first one or is it a bug?

[hardy hornet]

Ichor and the Forbidden fruit are not bound by any restrictions. Consuming more then one wont grant any new lasting benefits but you can find multiple for trading purposes. The celestrial fruit is an exception in that regard

[candid plover]

Ok, thanks!

Let me confirm something. I have to equip the Ring BEFORE entering the End? Or before Opening the first chest>

[candid plover]

You need the ring before opening your first loot chest using the minecraft:chests/end_city_treasure loot table, which is basically any loot chest in the end.
But if you're playing on a modpack, it's possible that some structures in the overworld, like the ones from Dungeon Crawl, uses this loot table, thus making it impossible to get the Celestial Fruit if you opened those chests before equipping the ring.

Good, killing the Ender Dragon with the Ring is a real challenge due to the Endermen
