Wildex Bestiary

3.0.0 - 2026-03-23

This release completes the 1.21.1 -> 1.21.11 port for everything added after 2.7.0 and brings the 1.21.11 branch up to the 3.0.0 feature set.

Added

• Added the 2.7.1 style-button overhaul for the compact utility controls:
• Added lazy on-demand right-panel loading from 2.7.2 for expensive mob data:
  • Loot
  • Spawns
  • Info / Misc
• Added explicit loading and retry states for lazy-loaded right-panel data so tab requests recover cleanly after rapid switching or dropped packets.
• Added the 2.7.3 lightweight variant-support fast path and a visible background variant-probing status indicator next to the Wildex entry counter.
• Added a tooltip for the variant-probing status indicator so players can see when Wildex is still processing mob variants in the background.
• Added a new common config option spyglassDiscoveryRange.
• Added Lectern support for the Wildex book
• Added per-entry discovery details for newly discovered mobs
• Added discovery summary/info directly to the right header, including hover tooltip details for timestamp and location.
• Added legacy reset support for pre-3.0.0 discovery entries that do not yet have discovery metadata.
• Added a confirmation popup before resetting legacy discovery entries.
• Added player favorites:
  • entries can be starred directly from the right header
  • favorites are stored per player in world data
  • favorites are synced in multiplayer
• Added a new Favorites filter to the mob list.
• Added a new mob-preview sound control in the preview header.
• Added a new mob-preview rotation toggle in the preview header so automatic preview rotation can be paused without disabling manual drag rotation.
• Added new GUI resources/localization required by the 3.0.0 header and discovery/favorites workflow

Changed

• Ported the remaining 1.21.1 updates 2.7.1, 2.7.2, 2.7.3, and 3.0.0 into the 1.21.11 branch.
• Reworked Wildex screen opening so item-use opening, keybind opening, server-triggered opening, and Lectern opening now share a unified client open path.
• Reworked right-panel request flow so expensive server-side data is fetched only for the currently active mob/tab instead of being preloaded while opening Wildex.
• Reworked variant support detection so the mob list can decide expandability without running the full heavy variant-discovery path up front.
• Reworked the client mob-index/cache flow so reopening Wildex no longer rebuilds the full base list as aggressively.
• Reworked the right header to use icon-based summary rows
• Reworked discovery and favorite sync so the server remains authoritative for:
  • discovery details
  • legacy resets
  • favorite state
• Updated the expanded filter controls and related compact controls to render over solid themed surfaces with the newer 3.0.0 control styling.
• Updated preview control styling/layout so reset, rotation, and sound buttons match the newer 1.21.1 presentation on the 1.21.11 UI codepath.
• Updated share overlay close-button sizing and related compact control sizing to match the 3.0.0 preview-control layout.
• Updated entity variant probing/display-state preparation to support Mowzie's Umvuthana-family mobs and related canonicalized variant handling on the newer branch.

Fixed

• Reduced short hitches when opening Wildex in larger modpacks by avoiding unnecessary full mob-index and variant-support work during screen open.
• Reduced repeated server-side progress/discovery snapshot work during rapid unlock bursts.
• Fixed avoidable repeated loot/spawn/info extraction work when rapidly selecting mobs or switching tabs.
• Fixed cases where lazy-loaded tabs could get stuck showing loading text indefinitely after rapid navigation.
• Fixed Cobblemon variant names collapsing to generic tokens like Normal in the mob list
• Fixed header summary icon placement/sizing on the 1.21.11 branch so the new 3.0.0 right-header layout matches the 1.21.1 version.
• Fixed the legacy discovery reset flow on 1.21.11 so resetting an old entry now uses the intended confirmation popup instead of acting immediately.

Compatibility

• Existing worlds are supported.
• No destructive world/save migration is required.
• Safe update path from 2.7.0.
• Multiplayer-safe:
  • discovery details remain server-authoritative
  • favorites remain server-authoritative
  • legacy discovery resets are validated on the server
  • lazy-loaded Wildex data remains server-validated
• Important:
  • entries discovered before 3.0.0 do not automatically gain discovery metadata retroactively
  • those legacy entries can be reset and rediscovered to populate the new discovery-detail data
