Custom Disc Maestro

[0.2.0] — 2026-07-02

A big quality release: performance, vanilla-style art, Russian localization, an admin server config, bundle-style sleeves, rotatable worktables and an auto-built documentation site. Worlds and items from 0.1.x load unchanged; wear budgets of newly made discs/matrices now come from the server config (32 / 32 / 3 by default).

Added

• Russian localization (ru_ru), using authentic vinyl-production terminology (мастер-диск, гальваническая матрица, нарезка) and vanilla Minecraft naming (Чернит, Пластинка); note-block instrument names follow the Russian Minecraft Wiki.
• The Cutting Lathe's instrument names now come from the language file (localisable) instead of being hard-coded English strings.
• Worktables now face the placer (furnace-style facing), and the Cutting Lathe / Record Press show the record lying on the platter/platen while one is inside (has_record blockstate).
• A record tucked into a sleeve now visibly peeks out of the envelope (blank and designed sleeves alike).
• Mod logo (the master disc with the vanilla yellow note, composed from the actual assets) shown in the mod list.
• Documentation site on GitHub Pages (MkDocs Material, English + Russian) with an illustrated progression guide; every image is rendered from the mod's actual textures by the committed docs/tools/render_images.py (isometric 3D stations, the emerald bath inside the cauldron, flat item icons for ingredients, overlap-free captions with inventory display names) and the site is rebuilt automatically by the docs.yml workflow. The README is now a short overview linking there.
• Server config (cdm-server.toml, admin-editable, synced): masterUses (default 32), recordUses (32) and matrixUses (3). The values are stamped onto items when they are made (max_damage component), and sound distortion always starts at 50% / 75% / 100% of the configured wear; smithing-table scratching moves by the same percentages.
• Sleeves now behave like vanilla bundles: right-click a sleeve onto a record (or a record onto the sleeve) in any inventory to tuck it in, right-click onto an empty slot to slide it out, and use a filled sleeve in hand to toss the record on the ground — with bundle sounds. The old one-slot sleeve GUI (menu, screen, menu type) was removed, which also closes a duplication edge with stacked sleeves.

Changed

• Textures: the disc label is vanilla-proportioned with high-contrast stripes / ribbon / dots patterns; the disc family, blank and matrix picked up vanilla-style top-lit shading; the kupfernickel bucket now uses the vanilla bucket texture with an emerald fill overlay; the galvanic matrix is drawn as a record-shaped nickel negative with groove rings; a fully worn disc keeps its own colours and label pattern on a shattered, "music disc 11"-style model (bite + drifting shard) instead of a generic grey cracked texture.
• Sleeve covers redesigned as album art: bold two-tone motifs (colour-block bands, a diagonal sash, a big circle) over a printed-cover base with a spine shadow, so designed sleeves read like real record covers; the stencil preview got its own mini-motif textures fitted to its window.
• Worktable blocks got proper multi-face textures in the vanilla crafting-table layout (distinct top / front / side, spruce-planks underside on the packaging table): a turntable deck with a copper tonearm on the Cutting Lathe, a platen top and piston mouth on the Record Press, and a worktop with a paper sleeve, record and drawer on the Packaging Table.
• English strings: the lathe's record button says "Cut" (a lacquer master is cut, not burned), and the kupfernickel fluid is named "Kupfernickel" (the "Bath" is the cauldron).

Removed

• The never-used cdm:shrink_wrapped data component (it was never written to any item).
• The packaging table's retired record-slot insertion path and the dead insert/extract network actions (the block-entity slot layout is unchanged, so old saves still load — and still drop a record stored there by very old versions when the table is broken).
• The old single-face worktable textures, superseded by the multi-face sets.
• Disc playback keeps a small pool of prepared melodies (instead of a single slot), so several jukeboxes playing different discs at once no longer re-validate and re-index their note lists every tick; the per-tick note lookup also uses a primitive-keyed index (no boxing).
• The kupfernickel brewing watcher checks dropped items every 4 ticks instead of every tick, removing most of its per-tick work for item entities lying around the world (brewing itself is unchanged).
• Reading the record tucked in a sleeve copies the stack once instead of twice (tooltips, crafting checks and slot validation all go through this path).
• GUI ghost hints and the press/packaging live previews reuse their item stacks across frames instead of allocating new ones on every render pass.
• Internal cleanup: shared sleeve/stencil model-predicate lambda, removed an unused import, an unused menu field and nine dead language keys.
