Armor Hider

What's Changed

This release is deliberately a beta. I will keep 0.12.0 in beta until in a few weeks (aiming at a proper release end of third week of July or within last week of July) when initial issues with it have been ironed out. Please be aware that this beta can carry problems (even though I really did my best to add more tests and quite thoroughly tested the release) - so if you encounter any, please report them via GitHub or Discord and either wait for a fix or downgrade to 0.11.x while waiting. As usual, I'll try to address anything that comes up as timely as I can!

With 0.12.0 roughly 50% of the mod has been rewritten, introducing an API (for making it easier for other modders to put compatibilities together) and putting in a homogeneous architecture how Armor Hider resolves items it interferes with, sets up scopes (now with individual scopes per item AH interacts with and not only one global 'we're changing this player's items' scope) and tears them down as well as having version-independent render changes (that operate per piece as well). In addition, I have changed up most of the mixins Armor Hider relies on to make them easier to read and maintain.

This is - in my opinion - a huge step forward to make future additions more straightforward to add (also with fewer regressions) and the mod more maintainable.

My expectation with 0.12.0-pre.1 is actually: Literally zero behavioral changes! I explicitly held back on adding in new fixes or features so regressions are easier to spot and resolve. Yet, some legacy Minecraft versions (e.g. 1.20.x) might benefit from this release as core mod functionality should now be similar throughout all game versions and loaders.

Any recently reported problems (see GitHub issues) will be taken care of based on this release.
