Changelog

All notable changes to Tweakable XP Loss will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning (with a per-era Minecraft classifier suffix on each release artifact).

[1.2.0] - 2026-07-16

Added

• Minecraft 26.2 support (third jar). tweakable_xp_loss-1.2.0-mc26.2.jar targets Minecraft 26.2 via NeoForge 26.2.x-beta, compiled with a Java 25 toolchain. Published as a beta Modrinth version because NeoForge for 26.2 is itself still beta-only (Minecraft 26.2 is a stable release). The GameRules API on 26.x is identical to 1.21.11's, so the mod code is unchanged — only the compile target and Java toolchain differ. Verified: compiles against 26.2.0.23-beta and boots a 26.2 server.

Changed

• The build's Java toolchain is now era-driven: Java 21 for the legacy/modern eras, Java 25 for the new next era (MC 26.x). Gradle auto-provisions the needed JDK.
• CI and release workflows now build and publish all three eras (legacy, modern, next). The release workflow installs both Java 21 and 25.
• mod_version bumped 1.1.0 -> 1.2.0.

Notes

• MC 26.1 (which has a stable NeoForge, unlike 26.2) is not yet a separate target but is a trivial follow-up — the source is identical to the 26.2 jar; only the NeoForge compile version and game-version list would change. See docs/PORTING.md.

[1.1.0] - 2026-07-15

Added

• Multi-version support. The mod now ships as two jars, each compiled against its era's direct GameRules API:
  • tweakable_xp_loss-1.1.0-mc1.21.1.jar — Minecraft 1.21.1–1.21.10 (NeoForge 21.1.x–21.10.x).
  • tweakable_xp_loss-1.1.0-mc1.21.11.jar — Minecraft 1.21.11 (NeoForge 21.11.x). Pick the jar whose range covers your Minecraft version. See the README for details.
• Version metadata (mods.toml) now declares the correct per-era Minecraft and NeoForge ranges.

Changed

• mod_version bumped 1.0.0 → 1.1.0.
• The keep-inventory gamerule read and the ServerLevel accessor were extracted into an era-specific KeepInventoryCompat seam, so the shared death/respawn logic is identical across both jars. This is "Path C" of the multi-version plan (see docs/PORTING.md).
• The legacy seam reads the gamerule via ((ServerLevel) player.level()).getGameRules() rather than player.level().getGameRules(): getGameRules() moved from Level to ServerLevel at the 1.21.2/1.21.3 boundary, so calling it on ServerLevel is what makes one legacy jar binary-compatible across 1.21.1–1.21.10. The CI tripwire matrix recompiles the legacy source against 1.21.3/1.21.4/1.21.5/1.21.8/1.21.10 on every push to guard this.

Notes

• Minecraft 26.x (NeoForge 26.x) is not yet targeted — it is still in beta and requires Java 25. Its GameRules API is identical to 1.21.11, so a third jar (or widening the modern jar's range) is straightforward once 26.x goes stable.

[1.0.0] - initial release

• Server-side NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1: configurable percentage of XP kept through death, delivered either instantly on respawn (INSTANT) or as experience orbs at the death location (ORBS). File config at config/tweakable_xp_loss-common.toml.
