Frozen Apocalypse

v1.2.0 - Released 2024-1-12

Added

• Added a 9th apocalypse level, sun is now 90% smaller, entities freeze very quickly
• Added 4 new mob variants: Cryoboomer (creeper), Frostbite (zombie), Iceweaver (spider), Shiverstare (enderman)
• These variants are created if the corresponding mob is above the freezing Y level
• Added 5 new blocks: frosted grass, dead grass, dead leaves, icicles, and icy cobwebs
• Each new block spawns during certain apocalypse levels
• Added config option for minimum light level to avoid freezing for each apocalypse level, further levels increase the minimum light level
• Added config option for freezing immune entities
• Added config option for determining affected dimensions

Changed

• Almost everything about the apocalypse levels, major rewrite
• Reverted back to Minecraft 1.20.1, as multiple other mods are still stuck at this version
• All blocks that produce light are now considered heat sources
• Snow only spawns when snowing, instead of all the time
• Dry biomes will now snow (deserts, badlands, etc.)
• Mobs can now spawn during the day after day 5, config option available
• Config file warns the user via logs and makes a backup when there are syntax errors, type mismatches, and missing/unknown fields
• Config file now can back up into different file names

Fixed

• Apocalypse now lags the world even less due to multiple optimizations and feature removal
• Sun size change packet being registered every tick and returning incorrect data type
• Fixed a bunch of leaves remaining after decaying on trees (still might be some though)

Removed

• Removed the ability to add custom light source check (contributed to significant performance issues)
• Removed heat source check delay as it doesn't improve performance
• Removed severely outdated Simplified Chinese translation
• Removed disabling the weather
