Changelog

[1.3.0] - 2025-10-09

Performance Improvements

• Bed Position Caching: Added intelligent caching of successful bed positions (1 minute cache duration)
  • Dramatically reduces block lookups on subsequent sleep attempts
  • Falls back to full search if cached bed is no longer valid
• Optimized Bed Search Radius: Reduced from 3 to 2 blocks (within actual interaction range)
  • Eliminates unnecessary block scanning beyond usable range
  • Improves performance without affecting functionality
• Smarter AutoEat Processing: Now only processes during night-time checks
  • Reduces unnecessary food inventory scans during daytime
  • Consolidates AFK maintenance operations for better efficiency
• Reduced Log Verbosity:
  • Added debug vs info level distinction for approach-to-night logging
  • Removed spam from coordinate overlays and system messages
  • Better signal-to-noise ratio in logs

Enhanced User Experience

• Progressive Bed Warnings: Added informative in-game messages when no bed found
  • First attempt: Shows interaction range and retry timer
  • Second attempt: Brief reminder
  • Third attempt: Waits until next night cycle
• Bed Validation: Now validates bed existence before attempting interaction
  • Prevents interaction failures with removed/destroyed beds
  • Skips to next bed candidate if current one is invalid

Chat Processing Refinements

• Improved Keyword Filtering: Refined sleep-related keywords for more accurate detection
  • Removed overly broad keywords ("night", "there", "hello")
  • Added specific sleep-state keywords ("asleep", "sleeping")
  • Reduces false-positive auto-responses
• Enhanced System Message Detection: Added patterns for Discord bridge and welcome messages
  • Better filtering of server announcements
  • Fewer inappropriate auto-responses to system messages

Technical Updates

• Fabric Loader: Updated minimum requirement from 0.16.0 to 0.17.0
  • Includes MixinExtras 5.0.0 and Fabric Mixin 0.16.3+mixin.0.8.7
• Fabric API: Updated minimum requirement to 0.130.0+1.21.8
  • Ensures compatibility with latest Fabric ecosystem improvements

Fixed

• Better handling of edge cases when beds are destroyed during sleep attempts

[1.2.1] - 2025-08-15

Fixed

• AutoEat Slot Selection: Fixed critical issue where food wouldn't be selected properly
  • Added Mixin accessor to properly access and modify the selected hotbar slot
  • Now correctly switches to food slot before attempting to eat
  • Synchronizes slot changes with server using packets
• Log Spam: Removed excessive logging from overlay messages (coordinates, etc.)
• Code Quality: Removed all blocking operations, improved state management

Technical

• Implemented Mixin system for accessing private PlayerInventory.selectedSlot field
• Simplified slot switching logic - direct modification instead of complex workarounds
• Better error handling and state validation

[1.2.0] - 2025-08-15

Added

  • Prioritizes non-magical food (bread, meat, etc.) over magical food (golden apples, etc.)
  • Avoids poisonous food (rotten flesh, spider eyes, poisonous potatoes, etc.)
  • Configurable hunger threshold (default: 14/20)
  • Option to eat stews/soups (default: enabled)
  • Minimum food value filter (default: 2)
  • Auto-disconnect when out of safe food and critically hungry
• AutoEat Configuration:
  • GUI controls in config screen
  • Commands: /autoafksleep config autoEat, autoEatThreshold, etc.
  • Persistent settings in config file

Changed

• Updated mod description to include AutoEat functionality
• Enhanced status command to show AutoEat status

Technical

• Non-blocking food consumption with proper timing (1.6 seconds)
• Smart food selection algorithm prioritizing safety and efficiency
• Integrated with existing mod enable/disable system

[1.1.0] - 2025-08-12

Performance Improvements

• Intelligent Scheduling: Now calculates exact time until night instead of constant polling
• Reduced Server Load: Polling frequency reduced by 6x during night (5s → 30s)
• Resource Efficiency: During day, waits up to 10 minutes without any CPU usage
• Optimized Bed Finding: Uses BlockPos.Mutable and early distance checks for better performance

Code Quality

• Fixed Critical Bug: Removed Thread.sleep() from event handlers (was blocking game thread!)
• Non-blocking Operations: Replaced with CompletableFuture for async message sending
• Better Modularity: Extracted time calculations and bed finding into dedicated methods
• Pattern Matching: Pre-compiled regex and HashSet lookups for faster message processing

New Features

• Configurable Timing: All timing parameters now adjustable in config file
• Failure Backoff: Stops attempting after configurable consecutive failures
• Dimension Caching: 5-second cache for dimension checks to reduce overhead
• Smart Recovery: Resets failure counter when day arrives

Changed

• Wake-up margin before night: configurable (default 30s)
• Check interval during night: configurable (default 30s)
• Check interval after failures: configurable (default 60s)
• Maximum consecutive failures: configurable (default 3)
• Chat response cooldown: configurable (default 30s)
• Sleep attempt cooldown: configurable (default 3s)

[1.0.1] - 2025-08-06

Fixed

• Fixed chat message processing - now properly detects both player and server messages
• Fixed disconnect phrase detection - players can now test by typing the phrase themselves
• Fixed auto-response triggers - now responds to messages containing sleep/AFK keywords

Changed

• Removed auto-disable on shutdown feature - mod settings now persist between sessions
• Simplified message processing logic - only ignores the mod's own auto-response messages
• Improved auto-response detection for various chat formats

[1.0.0] - 2025-08-04

Initial Release

Features

• Automatic Sleeping: Automatically uses beds when night falls if within 2 blocks
• Smart Timing: Checks more frequently as night approaches to save resources
• Chat Monitoring: Responds to direct messages and @mentions with customizable messages
• Disconnect Phrase: Set a custom phrase that disconnects you from the server
• Failure Actions: Choose what happens when unable to sleep (disconnect, custom command, or nothing)
• Configuration GUI: Easy-to-use settings screen accessible via keybind (default: K)
• Commands: Full command system for all features (/autoafksleep help)
• ModMenu Integration: Access settings through ModMenu if installed

Technical Details
