- Bumped pack format to 70
- No longer compatible with Snapshots 25w04a - 25w09b
- Bumped version number to v1.0.0
- Now that Mojang have released the first pre-release, I am confident that the new blocking mechanics won’t drastically change or break for the 1.21.5 release
- There should (hopefully) be no gameplay differences between v0.3.4 and v1.0.0, only version compatibility changes
This version is compatible with Minecraft Java Snapshot 25w10a & 1.21.5 Pre-Release 1.
