What does this pull request do?

Adds blackholes to biomes

The biomes it was added in were a bit lacking in mobs imo

Nerfed mob spawns in selected biomes due to the addition of blackholes

Removes recipes for enchantments that exceed vanilla levels

These can't be applied by anvils anyway so until that's fixed they can stay commented out

Industrial Blast Furnaces now return cells

Don't think this is intentional. Reported by bunger1804 on discord

Updated More Fluid Cans versions for 0.16.3 Fabric Loader support

Turns out Astral did have issues updating to 0.18.4 unlike what Fabric discord said (I love 1.18.2)

Added Bedrock Breaking guide quest

This is confusing to many players so I added a extra quest with a guide

Added weapon quests for:
Rapier, Soulsteal Dagger, Astral Hoe, Diamond Boomer, Shimmerang, Shimmer Blower, Lunar Whacker, Parry Shield, Beta Weapons

I love documentation

Added weapon recipes for:
Rapier, Soulsteal Dagger, Astral Hoe, Diamond Boomer, Shimmerang, Parry Shield, Beta Weapons

Added Cogwheel Skull to Potato Cannon Ammo quest

That's the main purpose of it and it wasn't documented anywhere

Removed subtitle from Battery Box quest due to misinfo

Couldn't think of anything cool or funny so get SWOONED

Hid some quests in Culinary Delights so SHOULD be hidden until you complete the unlock quest

You won't believe how much snooping I had to do to find out how to do this :AAAA:

Changed task text to lang key in Hello To Astral Foods quest

Missed this the first time lol

Changed some wording in Culinary Delights

Feels more natural now IMO

Nerfed Doncrete Launchpad recipe (2x->1x)

I still think that the Steel variant of it is much more expensive. Hopefully this makes both balanced, Steel version is more convenient too

Changed Soul Devourer book recipe from a Soulsteel Nugget to Queenslime's Nugget

Soulsteel is unobtainable lol

Added Deep Shelving Unit quest

Cool block deserving of a quest

Added new DSU json file to remove ultrapure items from DSU list

This stops the Ultrapure items from having a weird font in the DSU. It's a cool font so kinda sucks I can't apply it to every item.

Changed the Power The World quest to feature Astral Gen instead of Crafts & Additions

Connectors are buggy and Toby made a cool new solution

> Forgot to do this the first time around. I think these biomes were a bit lacking in mobs. Might be changed in the future

Commented out recipes for enchantments that exceed vanilla levels
> For now they only waste the players time since you can't apply them with anvils. Might be fixed in 2.2
…ckhole in mind

> Wouldn't be too fair if they stayed like before but with another mob
