-Crowbar can no longer be crafted but found within Level 1

# Bug Fixes

-Fixed an issue where fog wouldn't be removed after dying in the backrooms

-Fixed when the Redrooms Returner did not change the fog for the corresponding location

-Fixed when the player exits 'Level Fun', the BGM did not stop while the destination's BGM played over the other (LFun to L1)

-Fixed when the BGM of 'Level 1' randomly did not play upon entering the level

-Fixed a potential soft-lock when hiding under Tables

# Bug Fixes- Inter-Dimensional Breacher Device

When a mob other than the player steps on the Inter-Dimensional Breacher Device (IDBD) it will no longer teleport the nearest player but the mob itself. If a mob is the first entity sent to the Backrooms then it will likely die of fall damage as Backrooms generation requires the player to be nearby. Once a player has stepped through the "IDBD" and generated the backrooms any subsequent mobs will arrive in The Backrooms safely.

Note: yes lit TNT also works

# Escaping the Backrooms-

In previous versions escaping the Backrooms was incredibly flawed having you as the player collect 3 keys in order to summon a portal to take you home.

Not only we're these keys in obscure positions but was able to be lost in the event you died and they despawned, permanently locking you out of an exit to the Backrooms

In V4 you now will have to find an Async research lab, solve the puzzle and quest to reactivate the portal. not only is this more thematic, logical and fun but is now impossible to lock yourself out of an exit

# Mobs Overhaul-

## Backrooms Monster

-Health Reduced to 150HP (was 999999)

-Damage Reduced From 100 to 18

-Is now able to be set on fire instantly killing them

-Updated Model

-Added attack, idle, ablaze, sprint & glory kill animations

-Updated the walk and spotted animations

-Updated Texture

-Fixed pivots with the model

-Will now drop "Unidentified Bacterium"

-Reduced random movement roam speed -to 0.305 from 0.405

-The Backrooms Monster is now more likely to keep randomly roaming

-Now once the Backrooms Monster has seen you and it's spotted animation has finished it will sprint towards you (faster than before) moving at 200% its base walking speed. It will initially deal 18 damage to you and should you survive that will perform a "Glory Kill" animation instantly killing you.

"The Backrooms Monster was initially a mob that was never supposed to be killed, instead serving as a gameplay stealth and run mechanic into Level 0, these changes are to hopefully still maintain that mechanic whilst giving players the freedom to build where they choose without fear of an insta-kill demon"

## Partygoers

-Changed The Partygoer's health up to 40

-Changed The Partygoer's speed up from 0.255 to 0.275 units (You can still outrun them without potion effects, they're just not as slow)

-Increased Partygoers attack damage to 8 (was 5)

-Decreased Partygoers knockback resistance to 0.3 (was 0.9)

-Popping balloons will now attract partygoers in a 24block radius to its position 

-Popping balloons near a partygoer will frighten them and causes them to not attack you for a short duration 

-Partygoers will now avoid players hiding under party tables

## Smilers

-Smilers will now go into an invisible state once light level goes above 8. Once in this state they will no longer be able to attack the player but instead will stalk the player, moving to a random position around the player within a 15 block radius (if you are initially seen.)

-As soon as the light level drops below 8 the smiler will be able to attack and become visible again. 

-Smilers now burn in daylight and will attempt to avoid the sun

## Crawlers (Wretches)

-The Crawler is now named The Wretch to better fit with backrooms lore, different variations of The Wretch will be released in further updates
