⚠️ Critical fix — worlds no longer break when client and server versions differ

• Previously the mod added hidden data to vanilla blocks, which shifted Minecraft's internal block ID table. If a client and server ran different versions of the mod — or only one side had it installed — chunks were decoded against the wrong table and the world rendered as completely different blocks, with heavy lag.
• The mod now leaves vanilla block data untouched, so it is safe to run with mismatched versions, and safe against a vanilla client or a vanilla server.
• Upgrade note: player-placed protection is reset by this update. Blocks you placed before 0.10.0 are no longer exempt from conversion. Blocks placed from now on are tracked as normal.
• Player-placed/mod-converted tracking now works for any block, including ones added by datapacks or other mods.

Converted blocks now dry out

• Blocks the mod converted revert once they are no longer wet: mud, podzol, mycelium, rooted dirt and packed mud dry to coarse dirt, and coarse dirt dries back to plain dirt.
• Only ever applies to blocks this mod converted — naturally generated mud, podzol, mycelium and coarse dirt are never touched.
• New config: dryOutEnabled (default on), dryOutTicks (default 6000 ticks / 5 min)

Updated shoreline blocks

• Plains → coarse dirt
• Forest (incl. dark, birch, flower) → rooted dirt
• Taiga (incl. old growth) → gravel (was cobblestone)
• Savanna → packed mud (was coarse dirt)
• Snowy and frozen biomes → packed ice (was gravel)
• Lush caves → moss block
• Beach → sand
• Swamp/mangrove (mud), badlands (red sand), desert (sand), jungle (podzol), mushroom fields (mycelium) and windswept (gravel) are unchanged
• Every snowy variant is packed ice, including snowy taiga and snowy beach

Config file

• The shoreline block table in muddywaters.json updates to the new defaults automatically on first launch. If you have edited it yourself — even one entry — your version is kept as-is.
