Cobalt Age

Added

• Core Architecture & Performance: Introduced local chunk data caching to reduce repeated chunk lookups during updates.
• Converter: Introduced the new FLOWING_SIDE property to track the direction of energy flow.

Changed

• Core Architecture & Performance: Mixins are now restricted to Redstone-type blocks to improve compatibility with modded blocks.
• Core Architecture & Performance: Signal transmission data is now stored at the Level/BlockState level instead of per-class, reducing memory usage.
• Core Architecture & Performance: Overall performance has been significantly improved, especially for large wire networks, resulting in less overhead and fewer lag spikes.
• Cobalt Wires: Completely redesigned architecture for improved performance.
• Cobalt Wires: Improved update handling and consumer behavior.
• Cobalt Wires: Expanded compatibility with modded blocks that rely on standard redstone APIs.
• Cobalt Rails: Fully reworked structure and updated texture.
• Cobalt Rails: Reclassified as a Cobalt Energy Block (CEB); now can only receive energy from other Cobalt Energy Blocks.
• Cobalt Relays: Reworked architecture (inherits the same stability fixes as Cobalt Wires).
• Cobalt Relays: Limited energy transfer to vertical only (up and down).
• Cobalt Relays: Now only connect and transfer energy with Cobalt Wires and compatible Cobalt Energy Blocks.
• Converter: Received a major overhaul.
• Cobalt Repeaters & Comparators: Now share a more unified implementation.
• Cobalt Repeaters & Comparators: Use the same optimized signal-processing system as Cobalt Wires for improved efficiency.
• Cobalt Dust Block: Updated texture to better match the appearance of powered Cobalt Wires.

Removed

• Cobalt Relays: Removed interaction behavior with torches or blocks attached to their sides.
• Converter: Removed activation sound when waterlogged.

Fixed

• Core Architecture & Performance: Signal channels are now fully independent, eliminating cross-channel interference.
• Core Architecture & Performance: Fixed issues preventing Cobalt Energy Blocks from properly powering modded redstone blocks in certain situations.
• Cobalt Wires: Fixed multiple visual issues that occurred when wires were placed on non-sturdy block faces.
• Converter: Fixed the energy-loss bug that occurred during energy-type conversion.
• Converter: Resolved all feedback-loop issues.
• Converter: Fixed update and signal transmission bugs that could temporarily power adjacent blocks.
• Cobalt Torches: Applied the same bug fixes and stability improvements as those introduced for Cobalt Wires.
