BondCraft Fabric v1.7.0

This update introduces three new desert monsters, the new Individual Records and Role systems, a major overhaul to Bond mob owner-follow behavior, improved Portal Residue generation, Starting Village improvements, and various gameplay and system refinements.

✨ Added

3 New Monsters

Added three new monsters to the desert:

• Dunemaw
• Voraflora
• Osshell

Each monster introduces its own combat behavior, passive ability, and role within a Bond team.

Dunemaw

Added Dunemaw, an Upper-class Insect-type SUPPORT monster.

• Immune to poison effects
• Melee attacks can inflict Slowness
• Improved melee range appropriate for its large body
• Sand Strider increases the owner's movement speed while standing on sand when Dunemaw is nearby

Voraflora

Added Voraflora, a stationary carnivorous plant found in the desert.

• Uses specialized stationary combat behavior
• Wild Voraflora can prey upon Osshell
• Feeding Ground restores HP when nearby mobs are defeated while bonded
• Remains stationary in NORMAL mode
• Can use Safe Teleport when necessary in FOLLOW mode

Osshell

Added Osshell, a Lower-class Insect-type SUPPORT monster.

• Wild Osshell does not actively attack players
• Can retaliate when attacked
• Can become prey for wild Voraflora
• Bone Shell reduces knockback received by the owner while Osshell is nearby
• Multiple Bone Shell effects do not stack with each other

📜 Individual Records System

Added individual records for Bond mobs.

Records include:

• Contract Date
• Active Time
• Kill Count
• Down Count
• Recovery Count

Records are stored individually for each Bond mob and persist across world saves.

Normal Evolution preserves existing records.

Fusion Evolution inherits records from the primary monster rather than combining records from all Fusion materials.

Existing Bond mobs remain compatible with the new system.

🏷 Role System

Added dedicated Roles for BondCraft monsters:

• TANK
• HEALER
• DPS
• DEBUFF
• SUPPORT
• AURA

Monsters can have a primary Role and, where appropriate, a secondary Role.

Roles are displayed in Bond mob information and can now be used as a filter in the Bond Manager.

Type and Role filters can also be combined.

🧭 Owner Follow Improvements

Bond mob owner-follow behavior has received a major overhaul.

A new shared owner-follow system now handles movement and return behavior across BondCraft monsters while preserving specialized behavior where necessary.

Supported movement profiles include:

• GROUND
• FLYING
• STATIONARY
• VOLDIS_SPECIAL

Depending on distance and behavior mode, Bond mobs can now:

• Remain near the owner without unnecessary movement
• Follow normally
• Follow at increased speed
• Safely teleport back when too far away

Large monsters also account for their physical size when determining appropriate follow distances.

Behavior Modes

NORMAL

Bond mobs can participate in combat while maintaining appropriate owner-follow behavior.

FOLLOW

Prioritizes staying near the owner using normal follow, faster follow, and Safe Teleport when necessary.

STANDBY

Prevents automatic following, teleporting, navigation, and combat targeting.

✨ Safe Teleport

Owner-follow teleportation has been redesigned with additional safety checks.

Teleport destinations now validate:

• Loaded chunks
• World Border
• Block collision
• Entity collision
• Owner collision
• Fluids
• Ground support where required
• Full monster collision size

The system does not force-load chunks.

Ground, flying, stationary, and very large monsters use appropriate destination handling for their movement type.

Dominus: Voldis retains a dedicated follow profile designed for its large flying body.

🌀 Portal Residue Improvements

Portal Residue generation has received a major distribution overhaul.

• Reduced overly uniform generation
• Added regional density variation
• Improved minimum spacing between Portal Residues
• Improved deterministic seed-based placement
• Improved terrain validation
• Improved structure protection
• Improved Starting Village protection
• Improved desert placement
• Improved chunk re-evaluation prevention
• No force-loading of surrounding chunks

Portal Residues can now appear with more natural regional variation instead of following overly consistent spacing across the world.

🏘 Starting Village Improvements

Improved Starting Village placement and protection.

• Improved terrain validation
• Improved grass, tree, water, and available-space checks
• Improved fallback location searching
• Improved Portal Residue protection around the planned village area
• Improved NPC recovery behavior
• Various placement and stability improvements

🛠 Improvements

• Improved owner-follow behavior across BondCraft monsters
• Improved normal and fast follow transitions
• Improved Safe Teleport destination validation
• Improved large monster follow spacing
• Improved flying monster return behavior
• Improved stationary monster FOLLOW behavior
• Improved Dominus: Voldis follow behavior
• Improved navigation update handling
• Improved teleport retry handling
• Improved Party / Reserve compatibility

• Fixed duplicate recovery combat cooldown processing in affected monsters
• Various bug fixes and internal cleanup
