Chunksmith

Changed

• The 26.3 build now targets 26.3-pre-2. Chunksmith pins its 26.3 jar to one exact Minecraft build rather than a range, because pack_format has moved on nearly every 26.3 build and a jar carries exactly one. 26.3-pre-2 shipped the same day this release was prepared, so the jar targets it rather than going out already a build behind. pack_format is unchanged at 97 -- read from 26.3-pre-2's own version.json, not assumed.

  Nothing else differs between the two builds for this mod: the only Minecraft change on a surface Chunksmith attaches to was ServerChunkCache.tickChunks losing a parameter, and Chunksmith does not hook that method.

Fixed

• The world no longer runs on underneath the "Preparing your world" screen. The progress screen drew a panel in the middle and left the live world rendering behind it at full brightness, so you could watch yourself standing there -- and, if the spawn was not flat ground, watch yourself fall. It reads as though the freeze is not working. It was: Minecraft's tick freeze deliberately exempts players, so everything else really was held while the player alone kept moving. The screen is a full backdrop now, and there is nothing to misread. (mod_support #20, reported by Maker261)

• You are no longer the only thing still ticking while your world pre-generates. Because of that same exemption, the player kept running for the whole freeze -- which is 80 minutes or more at the default radius. Hunger drained, fall damage applied, and a spawn over water could drown you while you watched a progress bar. The player is now frozen along with everything else until the run finishes or you press Enter World Now, and is released with the rest of the world.
