Patch Notes for NaturesNiche - v3.0.1

Overview

Welcome to the next chapter of NaturesNiche! Version 3.0.1 brings forth a revolutionary shift in the way our flora thrives and survives in the Minecraft world. Hold onto your pickaxes, folks, because things are about to get a little... out there.

What's New in v3.0.1

• Say Goodbye to Configs: That's right, folks, we're ditching the configs like yesterday's leftovers. No more endless tweaking in those pesky files. Instead, we're introducing three gamerules to rule them all. Default values? They're setting up camp here now.

• Datapack Delight: Pssst... Want to know the secret sauce behind your plant settings? It's all in the datapacks now. Customize to your heart's content, because the power is in your hands.

• Absolute Delta Domination: Ever wondered how far your plants are from their ideal climate? Wonder no more, because we're calculating that delta in absolute terms now. No more guessing games. Just pure, unadulterated precision.

• Individuality Rules: Each plant gets its own special treatment. Want to tweak the growth conditions for your cocoa, stem, or sapling? You can do that now. Go ahead, let your creativity run wild.

Oops... Did I Forget Something?

Okay, let's level with each other. I was in a bit of a haze during the whole process. So, if I missed something, just chalk it up to... creative exploration. Yeah, let's go with that.

Update Process

Buckle up, fellow adventurers. Upgrading from 2.1.1 to 3.0.1 is a bit more intricate this time around. You'll need to set up a datapack to handle those juicy new settings. Don't worry, though - the wiki's got your back with all the details.

Known Issues

None... for now. But hey, life's an adventure, right? If you encounter any unexpected surprises, just roll with it. After all, it's all part of the fun.

Release Notes for NaturesNiche - v2.1.0

Overview

I'm excited to announce the release of NaturesNiche v2.1.0! This update builds upon the existing features of v2.0.0, introducing enhancements that add depth and realism to the mod. This version maintains compatibility with v2.0.0 while introducing new functionalities for an even better user experience.

What's New in v2.1.0

• Enhanced Multiplier Logic for CropBlock: A new, advanced growth multiplier logic has been implemented for CropBlock entities. Moving away from the linear multipliers used for other plants, CropBlock now employs a non-linear, exponential formula for calculating growth probability, enriching the agricultural dynamics of Minecraft.

• Support for Multiplier Values Above 1: Responding to user feedback, the mod now supports multiplierValue settings greater than 1, offering greater flexibility in adjusting plant growth rates to suit diverse biome conditions.

• Asymptotic Growth Model: The innovative growth multiplier function for CropBlock is designed to asymptotically cap at 2.5, ensuring balanced growth across biomes and preventing uncontrolled exponential increases.

• Precision and Balance: The selected coefficients in the new exponential function for CropBlock growth have been meticulously chosen to ensure that a multiplierValue of 1 maintains a standard growth rate, upholding a balanced and realistic farming experience.

Migration from v2.0.0 to v2.1.0

Upgrading from v2.0.0 to v2.1.0 is smooth and straightforward. The new features integrate seamlessly with the existing configuration structure. Nevertheless, I recommend reviewing the updated documentation to fully understand and utilize the new growth multiplier functionalities.

Known Issues

• No significant issues have been identified in this release. Striving for perfection is a continuous journey, and your feedback is invaluable in this process.

Keep an eye out for future updates as I continue to develop and enhance NaturesNiche. Happy farming!

Release Notes for NaturesNiche - v2.0.0

Overview

I'm thrilled to announce the release of NaturesNiche v2.0.0, coming hot on the heels of this morning's v1.0.0 release! This rapid update introduces significant changes to the configuration structure, marking a major evolution of the project. Please note, this version is not backward compatible with v1.0.0.

Major Changes

• New Configuration Structure: I've completely overhauled the configuration logic. The CropConfig and BiomeConfig classes have been replaced with a new, more streamlined class named ModifierConfig. This change simplifies the configuration process for both Crops and Biomes, making it more intuitive and efficient.

• Improved Performance: By consolidating the configuration classes, I've achieved better performance and memory efficiency (I think).

• Simplified Configuration Updates: The process of updating configurations for Crops and Biomes is now more straightforward, which should make maintenance and future enhancements easier.

Migration from v1.0.0 to v2.0.0

Given the non-backward compatible changes, I recommend users of version 1.0.0 to update their configuration files according to the new structure. Detailed migration instructions can be found in the project's Wiki.

Known Issues

• No critical issues known in this release. Because I'm perfect.

Release Notes for NaturesNiche - First Release
