CB: Compressed Blocks

v3.1.0 -- Minecraft 1.21.11

This release combines the port of the 3.0.0 rewrite from Minecraft 1.21.1 to 1.21.11 with the subsequent v3.1.0 changes, including Forge support and the transition from Java-based entry lists to JSONC-based catalogs.

Porting and Platform Support

• Ported the 3.0.0 rewrite from Minecraft 1.21.1 to Minecraft 1.21.11.
• Added support for Forge.
• Improved cross-loader integration and configuration handling.

Added

• Added a configuration screen for Fabric & NeoForge.
• Added automatically generated advancements for all compressed blocks and crates.
• Introduced JSONC-based catalogs for blocks and crates, supporting custom entries and resource-pack-provided assets.
• Added support for defining custom compressed blocks and crates through catalog entries and resource-pack assets.

See the Custom Entries guide for instructions, required resources, and examples.

Improved

• Refactored block, crate, registration, and platform integration code.
• Consolidated data generation for recipes, models, tags, loot tables, translations, and advancements around the compression catalogs.
• Unified configuration handling across supported platforms.

Configuration

• Forge: Uses the JSONC catalogs to define block and crate settings; no separate loader configuration is provided.
• NeoForge and Fabric: Loader configuration values (toml config) take precedence over the defaults defined by the JSONC catalogs. Catalog values serve as defaults when corresponding configuration values have not been set.

Removed

• Replaced manually maintained resources with generated resources, including advancements.
