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!
