Aether's Blessing: Shimmer QoL

Aether's Blessing: Shimmer QoL is a small QoL/Content mod that centers around Shimmer and its Aether minibiome. Aether's Blessing introduces; an Aether pylon, the Mystic Compass, the Shimmer Well, the Genesis Conduit, a new tooltip, and a few new transmutations, each of which is detailed below;

• A special item sold by the Travelling Merchant after beating the Eye of Cthulhu
  
• When used (It costs a lot of mana, so you'll have to raise your max), the Compass emits a beam that points towards the Aether
  
• Makes tracking down the Aether a breeze; great for if you're struggling to find it on your own
  
• Note that the Compass will fail if the Aether isn't present in the expected area (Same region defined by world-gen)
  
• Includes config. options to customize the sell chance (Guaranteed by default) or allow the Compass to be sold pre-EoC

• A new pylon that - big surprise here - corresponds to and works exclusively in the Aether, granting quick access
  
• Sold under standard Pylon conditions, while in the Aether
  
• Only 1 nearby NPC is required for the pylon to function, as opposed to the normal 2
  
• Includes config. options that makes the pylon sold under standard conditions and attainable from Shimmering pylons, and to customize nearby NPC requirements

• A special crafting station obtained by Shimmering any Water Fountain
  
• Allows crafting item transmutations as an alternative to throwing items in Shimmer
  
• Includes config. options to require the Shimmer Well to be in the Aether to function, or to disable its crafting ability entirely

• Another unique crafting station obtained by Shimmering the Tinkerer's Workshop
  
• Retains its previous crafting functionality, and provides a special, powerful effect;
  
• While placed in the Aether, standing next to the Genesis Conduit improves the prefixes rolled by newly made items!
  
• By default, the Conduit will prevent most prefixes with poor/negative stats
  
• Includes config. options to fine tune what prefixes the Conduit rolls and/or otherwise restrict/adjust its power

• Some shimmer-exclusive items can now be shimmered back into their original form (Ex: Vital Crystal to Life Crystal). This includes many permanent upgrade items, unsafe walls, ancient bricks, and biome chests
  
• Obsidian can now be shimmered into Aetherium Blocks, allowing a renewable supply without needing an infinite source of Shimmer (which is post-ML)
  
• All new transmutations can be toggled via. config.

• This mod is open-source under the GNU GPLv3 license. In short, you’re allowed to view and utilize code from the source if you’d like, but if you want to publish any work you did with it, that project will have to use the same license (GNU GPLv3). The mod's LICENSE file contains the full details of terms and conditions, etc.
  
• You can access the source-code using tML's extract function (Found in-game on the mod's More Info page in your Mods List).

This mod inherently supports the English language, though I am unable to provide any other languages since that's the only one I'm fluent in. However, localization contributions on GitHub are welcomed and appreciated. Below is a list of supported languages so far:

• English (Base)
  
• Simplified Chinese (Contributed by Urgiv)
  
• Russian (Contributed by Xenofite & alinahvoshch)

If you desire to contribute localization, please make a PR in the GitHub repository for my mods' .tmod files[github.com].

With Aether's Blessing, you'll find the Aether a more convenient and powerful (Maybe even overpowered) asset than ever before!
