Rift Gun 0.2.1-r1 for Minecraft 26.1.2

Rift Gun 0.2.1-r1 turns Dimensional Navigation's Automatic Search into a saved, reusable destination workflow. It also hardens queued-request lifecycle checks, reduces destination snapshot size, and fixes paired-portal cleanup and first-contact diagnostics.

Back up worlds before upgrading.

Highlights

• Automatic Search now saves a target in the virtual Random section instead of opening a portal immediately.
• Saved Automatic targets begin their bounded safe-location search only when used and can be reused for later portal opens.
• Pending searches are cancelled when their target changes, is deleted, or the owning player disconnects.
• Queued opens recheck policy, gun state, target identity, and fuel before continuing.
• Closed paired portals now remove both members of the pair.

Saved Automatic Search Targets

Dimensional Navigation's Automatic Search mode now follows the same save-first workflow as exact-coordinate destinations.

• Saving creates an entry in the virtual Random section.
• Opening the entry starts the existing bounded random-rift search in the saved target dimension.
• The target can be pinned or deleted.
• Random-section expansion state is persisted with the player's destination data.
• Automatic targets cannot be renamed, moved into ordinary groups, or shared.
• Deleting or replacing a target cancels its pending search and releases its chunk tickets.
• Disconnecting the owning player also cancels pending work and releases tickets.
• Policy, gun state, target identity, and fuel are checked again before deferred preparation and before the final portal open.

The search itself retains the existing cooldown, world-border, placement, chunk-readiness, fuel, and server-authority rules from 0.2.0-rc.1.

Destination Data and Networking

• Player destination data advances from schema 10 to schema 11 for saved Automatic Search target state.
• Existing exact-coordinate destinations retain their dimension, coordinates, yaw, group, pin state, and display name.
• The destination model preserves text-target identity without copying source text into routine client snapshots.
• Missing text and intentionally empty text remain distinguishable in the client destination model.
• Shared text-data safeguards allow existing saves to load without truncation.

Portal Lifecycle and Diagnostics

• Closing either member of a paired portal now cleans up the linked member as well, preventing a stale partner entity from remaining in the world.
• The blocked-route notification cooldown now handles its uninitialized state explicitly. The first contact reports immediately instead of being suppressed by signed tick arithmetic overflow.
• Subsequent blocked-route diagnostics remain limited to once every 20 ticks.

Stability and Performance

• Preserve first-in request order while advancing queued searches.
• Cancel absent-player searches and release their chunk tickets.
• Revalidate policy and fuel after queueing so changed conditions cannot open or charge a stale request.
• Bound deferred preparation waits to 200 ticks.
• Avoid copying persisted text source data into routine client snapshots.
• Added lifecycle, persistence, cancellation, timeout, policy, fuel, and platform-stub regression tests.
• Keep Infinite Dimensions preparation explicitly unavailable on this platform instead of attempting unsupported generation.

Platform Differences

Infinite Dimensions text-based target generation is not available in the Minecraft 26.1.2 artifact. This build supports saved Automatic Search targets for dimensions already present on the server.

Upgrading from 0.2.0-rc.1

1. Back up the world, player data, and configuration files.
2. Stop the server and all clients.
3. Remove the old Rift Gun JAR before copying the new artifact; do not keep two Rift Gun versions in mods.
4. Install the exact same Rift Gun 0.2.1-r1 build on the server and every client.
5. Start the server and verify existing exact-coordinate destinations, saved groups, pin state, Portal Guns, modules, and fuel.
6. Test a saved Automatic Search target before reopening a public server.

Known Limitations

• Infinite Dimensions text-based targets are not available on 26.1.2.
• The 26.1.2 build is newer and has received less real-world testing than the 1.21.1 build.
• No live-server performance profiling was completed for this release package.
