Changelog 1.8.0

New Features

• Customizable Portal Vertical Offset: The new portalVerticalOffset parameter (default 0.0) allows you to raise or lower the portal relative to its default position. Range: -2.0 to 5.0.
• Portal Animation Speed: The new portalAnimationSpeed parameter (default 1.0) is a multiplier for the opening and closing speed of the portal. 2.0 = twice as fast, 0.5 = half as slow. Range: 0.1 to 5.0.

Fixes

• Mod language setting changed the entire Minecraft interface: Previously, selecting a language in the mod settings (en / ru) changed the global Minecraft language and reloaded all resources. Now the mod language works completely independently – it only affects the mod's text (GUI, tooltips, messages), without affecting the rest of the game interface.

Updated default values

• portalActiveTicks: 60 → 100
• portalScale: 1.2 → 1.5
• portalSpawnDistance: 2.0 → 2.2

Optimizations

• Configuration is cached in local variables when processing network packets instead of repeatedly calling MRPortalConfigManager.get().

Technical changes

• Created a utility class ModTranslation (com.mentality.mrportal.util), which loads mod translation files from resources and provides a get(key, args...) method. In auto mode, it returns Component.translatable(); in en/ru mode, it returns Component.literal() with the substituted translation.
• All calls to Component.translatable() in mod GUIs and messages have been replaced with ModTranslation.get(): WaypointScreen, MRPortalConfigScreen, PendingTeleportManager, MRPortalNetworking, PortalStaffItem, TeleportScrollItem.
• The applyLanguage() method has been removed from MRPortalConfigScreen, which called minecraft.getLanguageManager().setSelected() and reloadResourcePacks().
• The VERTICAL_PORTAL_OFFSET constant in PendingTeleportManager has been replaced with the dynamic verticalOffset(config) method, which takes portalVerticalOffset from the config into account.
• Animation speed (animSpeed) is transmitted via portal creation network packets to the client, where it scales SPARK_DURATION and CLOSE_DURATION.
