Ice Boat Racing 1.7.1 Update Notes

Your regular mod update and bugfix update! After going through some feedback, I've adjusted some options, to both ease the transition into the new visuals and not to alienate the existing playerbase. That also brings me to the next section of this update!

The Lite Version is a thing now!

Due to many radical design changes in the 1.7 update, this version exists as a "pure" pack. This means that all unnecessary visual fidelity has been stripped from the pack, and purely performance and boat related stuff remains. It also serves as a barebones kit to add your own selection of mods onto! I recommend turning off Automatic Updates if you do so, as your mods could be overwritten!

Patch Notes:

• Fixed default "Change Perspective" keybind
• Fixed spelling error on vanilla menu accessibility key
• Fixed Look Back behavior
• AutoHUD is disabled by default now but can be toggled with the ` key

Full Changelog:

• Updated Entity Model Features (1.3 > 2.0)
• Updated Entity Texture Features (5.2.3 > 6.0)
• Updated Fabric API (0.92.0 > 0.92.1)
• Updated Fabric (0.15.6 > 0.15.10)
• Updated FancyMenu (3.1.2 > 3.1.4)
• Updated ModernFix (5.15.0 > 5.16.1)
• Updated MoreCulling (0.22.1 > 0.24.0)
• Updated Simple Voice Chat (2.5.10 > 2.5.12)
• Updated Sboatcam (0.0.6 > 0.0.7)
• Updated Xaero's Minimap (24.0.3 > 24.1.1)
• Updated Xaero's World Map (1.38.1 > 1.38.4)

Known Issues

• IBRExtras included UI config isn't scaling correctly with resolutions other than 1920 by 1080 pixels due to using coordinates instead of relative position from screen border or grid
• Ice Boat Racing Standalone Server is currently outdated, but it will be moving to a GitHub instead of this modpack. It'll be linked atop of the server update notes when it's published

Ice Boat Racing 1.7.1 Lite Edition!

Due to many radical design changes in the 1.7 update, this version exists as a "pure" pack. This means that all unnecessary visual fidelity has been stripped from the pack, and purely performance and boat related stuff remains. It also serves as a barebones kit to add your own selection of mods onto! I recommend turning off Automatic Updates if you do so, as your mods could be overwritten!

Because many mods have been removed, this update currently does not have any patch notes. Please refer to the included mods below to see what's included.

The Next Chapter's Foundations

After... 3+ months? Jeez. This took a while, but this update FINALLY lays the foundations for the visual overhaul planned for 2.0.

From here on out, I've chosen to transition from the default BoatCam mod to sBoatCam, a mod maintained by Shizuya (ho51), to include more options like a new algorithm and more options to change how the camera behaves.

The old BoatCam algorithm is default. To regain your settings, please subtract your old Smoothness setting number from 100, and set that as your Smoothing option. The strength at 50 is equal to the old behavior. It's not certain that this inclusion is permanent, but it will provide a more customizable experience for all players!

The other main headlines is reverting back to the Fabric loader, as Quilt was logging too much garbage, the inclusion of Early Loading Screen, to make the game-load process more responsive, FancyMenu, to make all the custom stuff work, and many of it's dependencies to lay the groundwork for 2.0. And of course, that little bit more quality of life and those performance fixes!

P.S. Don't like how things look? With Ctrl + Alt + C, a menu will pop up, select the first dropdown, and select "Killswitch all screen customization." This will globally disable any custom screens and buttons!

Patch notes:

• Added many, many, many new mods - mostly related to the inclusion of FancyMenu
• Fixed excessive logging by changing the modloader from Quilt back to Fabric
• The current IBRExtras config fails to provide a speedometer metric, to more closely mimick TrackMania's UI look and feel. If you must have one, the BoatHUD config should suffice.
• Added custom buttons to the main menu, game pause screen and official server list menu
• Changed out Boatcam for sBoatCam to include more customizability and further improvements to first-person players with the new algorithm and "look back" binds
• Added WIP custom menu to eventually replace the vanilla one. The vanilla menu will always remain accessible. The new menu can consume about 10-15MB more RAM when in use.
• Fixed a crash related to CompleteConfig due to being a version too new for a specific mod
• Changed the position and scaling of the scoreboard and made it more transparent to interfere less with racing
• Added a minimap that provides positions of players while racing, toggleable with Right-Alt

Server update notes:

• Added custom menu for the official ice boat racing servers, together with their features - This opens up the oppurtunity to add more smaller servers within the normal multiplayer list, provided they're compatible with the modpack!

1.6.1 Update Notes

Ahhh, time to update the modpack again. I hope you all had lovely Christmas festivities! This update contains more performance, some start-up speed, an OpenBoatUtils patch and some additional QoL. There's also some fixes that I seem to have overlooked (like the swapped Sprint/Sneak binds)! The Modrinth version is once again ahead of CurseForge due to their spotty Quilt support, so I recommend sticking to Modrinth for the faster updates!

Patch notes:

• NEW A standalone server is now available for the Ice Boat Racing modpack. It's 100% Vanilla compatible, and does not have mods installed. It's pretty much a pre-configured server that will automatically show up if you boot it up! (For multiplayer, port-forwarding might be necessary. Check your router manufacturer's manual on how to do this and learn about it!)
• Fixed many configuration issues that unintentionally obstructed the new-player experience
• Fixed a crash related to Intel Intergrated Graphics drivers
• Fixed a crash related to AMD Vega intergrated graphic processors
• Improved performance when near entities containing NBT data such as chests and playerheads
• Fixed the linked website and Discord links on an installed instance in ATLauncher
• Fixed a crash related to Dynamic FPS when taking the window out of focus
• Removed Herobrine

Server update notes:

• Added a standalone server, please check the TimingSystem Wiki on how to operate it and set up (additional download) tracks
• Changed the default supplied server list and it's order

1.6.0 Update Notes

Welcome to the first step into making the modpack more visually appealing, while still providing the excellent base and performance optimizations. A lot of stuff got reconfigured, plus QoL for people recording and/or streaming the modpack, like an input viewer! It also features the standard performance increase, NVIDIA users will notice the biggest increase due to the inclusion of a mod that uses specific calls that that series of cards supports. It will disable automatically if it detects a different brand.

Addiotionally, I would like to reiterate that the modpack provides a base to add your own mods to. Although I cannot gurantee its stability with user-added mods, it's by design that you should add your own mods if you find a feature missing. (Keep in mind that when you update the modpack, your added mods could be removed. This depends on the launcher you use.)

This update brings the pack in line with its Modrinth counterpart, due to CurseForge now allowing Quilt modpacks. All the bug reports can now be fit in one place!

Patch notes:

• NEW Added IBR Extras, a specialized mod, currently preconfigured to only show an input viewer. You can hide it by pressing "U".
• NEW Added Panorama and Panorama Screens to showcase the 3 main servers supplied with the server. Showcases the BoatLabs spawn by default, since it's the panorama that is the easiest on the eyes.
• Added an entry in the default server list for a local boat racing server (Currently still in development)
• Added the usual collection of performance mods (ImmediatelyFast, Nvidium)
• Changed the controls back to my own preference, if you don't like them, please do reset them all to default

Full Changelog:

• CurseForge: Swapped Fabric out for Quilt, now uses Modrinth's version

• Modrinth: Updated Quilt Loader (0.20.2 > 0.21.2)

• Modrinth: Swapped out OinkScoreboard with Ugly Scoreboard Fix

• Added Capes (1.5.2) because I wanted to see my cape and imagined others want to see their cape too

• Added Chat Heads (0.10.23)

• Added IBRExtras (1.1.0)

• Added ImmediatelyFast (1.2.7)

• Added Main Menu Credits (1.1.2) to show the user what version of the modpack they are running

• Added Nvidium (0.2.3)

• Added Panorama (1.3.0)

• Added Panorama Screens (1.0)

• Added WaveyCapes (1.3.2), starts waving capes when going over ~200 Km/h

• Updated ModMenu (7.2.1 > 7.2.1)

• Updated ModernFix (5.7.2 > 5.9.3)

• Updated OpenBoatUtils (0.2.2 > 0.3.0)

• Updated OpenBoatUtils (0.2.2 > 0.3.0)

• Updated Quilted Fabric API (7.2.1 > 7.4.0)

• Updated Quilt Standard Libraries (6.1.1 > 6.1.2)

• Updated SimpleVoiceChat (2.4.24 > 2.4.28)

• Updated Sodium (0.5.2 > 0.5.3)

• Downgraded Chat Utils mod (1.10.1 > 1.10.0) due to a crash with Chat Heads

• Changed standard supplied config to enable Adaptive V-Sync and add bindings for new mods

• Changed config of DynamicFPS

• Added YOSBR config for Chat Heads

• Added YOSBR config for IBR Extras

• Added Panorama file to set it to the BoatLabs spawn. Can be changed in-game and should remember your choice.

Server update notes:

• BoatLabs now has Duels! You can challenge anyone by doing /duel {user} {track} {laps} {pits}.
• FrostHex now features Voteraces! You can initiate a vote with /voterace {track}.

Known Issues:

• Copying text with ChatUtils results in the color codes being copied, while being configured not to. A fix is known and is currently in development. Will likely be pushed in a hotfix (1.6.1 update).
• Streaming your game with NVIDIA driver version 545.84 could result in a monochrome capture. Please update your driver to the hotfix driver or roll it back. (Driver version 537.58 is recommended.)
• Rare: Chunks sometimes don't load from cache when flying very fast in spectator or with an Elytra. A temporary measure is flying slower, or using F3+A to reload your chunks from server and cache. If the issue is persistent, removing your ".bobby" within your modpack installation folder will remove any corrupted chunks.

Post Scriptum

A lot of stuff I want to add in the future will decrease performance in the main menu. This is the least used part of the entire modpack right now, so it should only decrease launching performance as it will be using a combination FancyMenu and LoadMyResources. I want to make custom main menu buttons, background video and a composed main menu theme, to truly set the stage and experience that I intend with the intended product of the modpack. So far, I want to thank you all for the journey. I never thought that these numbers were achievable, let alone the popularity the modpack has gained among boat racers. Thank you all for playing, and to many more records to set!

1.5.0 Update Notes

An update that updates BoatUtils to OpenBoatUtils made by o7moon, making the Fabric CurseForge version fully playable too! It also adds kennytvs-epic-force-close-loading-screen-mod-for-fabric (absolutely epic name) and more stuff to not get replaced with YOSBR, to protect your precious settings. Do remove the old BoatUtils if it remains in your mods folder because it results in a crash.

Patch notes:

• Added OpenBoatUtils (version 0.2.2)
• Added DynamicFPS (version 3.0.1)
• Removed BoatUtils
• Changed the default control configuration to a more vanilla approach: Shift = Crouch, Ctrl = Sprint, T = Chat, Q = Drop, G = BoatCam look behind. The rest remains as is
• OinkScoreboard added a Scoreboard Range mode that enables when playing on a TimingSystem-enabled server, increasing usefulness while keeping the scoreboard unobstructed

QoL, Hot- and Bugfixes:

• Added config for DynamicFPS to target 60 FPS when tabbed out
• Changed the default config to enable adaptive V-Sync in order to not overwhelm older machines
• Changed what options YOSBR supplies by default and makes sure it doesn't override critical user settings anymore
• Fixed a crash related to Xaero's Minimap mod that overflowed the GPU VRAM buffer caused by Bobby's unload delay
• Fixed Xbox Gamebar stuttering when tabbing back in by changing the behavior of the Java GC when tabbed out
• Increased the maximum supported render distance by Bobby to 48 chunks as "I consider it stable enough now"
• Reduced the volume of player sounds on the default config
• Removed several unused supplied configs remnant from removed mods
• Updated Quilt Loader (0.19.4 > 0.22.2)
• Updated Quilted Fabric API (7.1.1 > 7.2.1)
• Updated Indium (1.0.24 > 1.0.25)
• Updated Iris (1.6.7 > 1.6.8)
• Updated ModernFix (5.6.1 > 5.7.2)
• Updated Reese's Sodium Options (1.6.4 > 1.6.5)
• Updated Simple Voice Chat (2.4.19 > 2.4.24)
• Updated Sodium (0.5.1 > 0.5.2)
• Updated ViaFabricPlus (2.8.2 > 2.8.5)

Server update notes:

• All Servers: TimingSystem was updated to version 1.8, adding support for OpenBoatUtil's custom behaviors
• BoatLabs now has Boat Parkour tracks enabled by OBU
• BoatUtils Paradise was removed from the default supplied server list due to inactivity Note: In the future, the server list will only supply itself once unless overridden by the user (or I decide to change it drastically)

Known Issues:

• Using the old BoatUtils in tandem with OpenBoatUtils results in a crash. Please remove BoatUtils version 420.69 if it remains in your mods folder
• Rare: NVIDIA Shadowplay and Xbox Game Bar don't always recognize the game when in Windowed Fullscreen
• Rare: Tabbing back into the game can change the fullscreen resolution when not rendering on the primary display set in the operating system. The default config uses Windowed Fullscreen so most players shouldn't encounter this issue
• Rare: ViaFabricPlus's menu in the Multiplayer Menu overlaps the ReplayMod menu

1.4.0 Update Notes

This update updates Sodium to 0.5, plus of course your standard suite of updates and QoL!

The 1.4 version number update is because of the impact that Sodium 0.5 has on the performance. Mount Akina performance (20 chunks, RTX 3060) went from 139fps average, to 232 average. That's a 66% performance increase!

Along with the return of the CurseForge Fabric version, the modpack is finally up to standard with popular modpacks. Keep in mind that the CF version needs manual installation of BoatUtils, should the user want to race on tracks with elevation.

Patch notes:

• Added YSOBR to include a default config, plus new modpack updates won't override the configs for BoatCam, BoatHUD, Bobby, ReplayMod and Sodium Extra
• Updated mods reliant on Sodium 0.5 to make the pack more performant on lowspec devices and provide additional performance benefits to users that have adequate PC's

QoL, Hot- and Bugfixes:

• Updated Quilt (0.19.2 > 0.19.3)
• Updated Bobby (5.0.0 > 5.0.1)
• Updated CameraUtils (1.0.4 > 1.0.5)
• Updated Gamma Utils (1.7.15 > 1.7.16)
• Updated Indium (1.0.21 for Sodium 0.4.10 > 1.0.24 for Sodium 0.5.1)
• Updated Iris Shaders (1.6.4 > 1.6.7)
• Updated Mod Menu (7.1.0 > 7.2.1)
• Updated ModernFix (5.2.3 > 5.6.1)
• Updated MoreCulling (0.18.1 > 0.19.0)
• Updated Quilted Fabric API (7.0.6 > 7.1.1)
• Updated Quilt Standard Libraries (6.0.4 > 6.1.1)
• Updated Reese's Sodium Options (1.5.1 > 1.6.4)
• Updated SimpleVoiceChat (2.4.13 > 2.4.19)
• Updated Sodium (0.4.10 > 0.5.1)
• Updated SodiumExtra (0.4.20 > 0.5.1)
• Updated Symbol Chat (1.1.0 > 1.1.2)
• Updated ViaFabricPlus (2.7.8 > 2.8.2)

Server update notes:

• Added BoatUtils Paradise to the default server list, which only features tracks with elevation. They are included because of their partnership with BRWC!
• FrostHex no longer has custom boats because of an exclusivity deal with BoatLabs. More information can be found on BoatLabs, and stay tuned for progression!
• BoatLabs now has Time Trial lobbies! Go toe to toe with your friends and try to get the fastest time you can achieve!

Known Issues:

• FrostHex NPCs are currently missing due to unforseen lag issues
• Rare: Tabbing back into the game can create a short amount of stutters due to clipped videos in the Captures folder from Xbox Game Bar being very large (more than ~20GB)

Edit: I suck at grammar so that's fixed, thanks Grammarly

1.3.0 Update Notes

This version updates BoatCam to 1.20! This is a custom version, which means the algorithm is slightly different but you shouldn't notice any difference. The rest is a regular update adding some performance and QoL, plus providing the usual updates! This update will also align the modpack with the pack I use for events and building.

Patch notes:

• BoatCam has been updated, credit goes to Pigalala for the adjustments done! There's a slight adjustment in the camera algorithm at low speeds which should be easier on the eyes.
• Added LazyDFU once again to make loading the loading of texture packs faster, due to FrostHex and BoatLabs always using a texture pack for the custom boats
• Added Sodium Extra to increase user customizability, mainly for cloud height and particles
• Added WorldEdit to make building easier in singleplayer (note that WE can take a lot of RAM on larger edits!)
• Added WorldEditCUI to visualize WorldEdit selections in singleplayer and servers, compatible with FAWE (FastAsyncWorldEdit)

QoL, Hot- and Bugfixes:

• Updated BetterF3 (7.0.0 > 7.0.1)
• Updated BoatCam (1.0.3 > 1.2.0)
• Updated Cloth Config API (11.0.99 > 11.1.106)
• Updated Indium (1.0.18 > 1.021)
• Updated ModernFix (5.1.1 > 5.2.3)
• Updated OinkScoreboard (1.20A > 1.20.1A)
• Updated Quilt's QFAPI (7.0.4 > 7.0.6)
• Updated Quilt's QSL (6.0.3 > 6.0.4)
• Updated Simple Voice Chat (2.4.11 > 2.4.13)
• Updated Symbol Chat (1.0.1 > 1.1.0)
• Updated ViaFabricPlus (2.7.7 > 2.7.8)
• Changed config of Bobby which increases the default region cleanup time from 3 days to 7 days

Current experiments:

• BoatBreakFix is still running a 1.19.x version, it could create instabilities but it seems to work fine for now
• Simple Voice Chat is on 2.4.13 while all servers currently run an older 2.4.x build. It should be backwards compatible regardless, but it's experimental anyway

Server update notes:

• FrostHex has fully updated to 1.20 so BoatUtils functions normally now. NPCs are currently missing due to the server update. The chunk upgrading is complete so there will be no more large TPS drops unless new tracks are being pasted in!

1.2.1 Hotfix Notes

Some minor adjustments to make the racing experience slightly better! Most notable is the removal of the VeryManyPlayers mod, because it kicked me during a 40 player Blind Attack race. Since then I've considered the mod not stable enough for competitive events.

Patch notes:

• Added BoatBreakFix to not make boats break on large jumps (prime example being the joker lap pit on Coconut Mall)
• Removed VeryManyPlayers as it sends too many packets to the server when racing in large events, thus kicking the client from said server
• Permanently removed Debugify as it's superseded by ModernFix which has more customizability for fixes that I want to apply

QoL, Hot- and Bugfixes:

• Updated ModernFix (5.0.4 > 5.1.1)
• Updated Simple Voice Chat (2.4.11 > 2.4.13)
• Updated Symbol Chat (1.0.1 > 1.1.0)
• Changed config of Symbol Chat to have a Discord-like autofill when using ":" before a word
• Changed config of ViaFabricPlus to not show the Super Secret Settings button by default

Current experiments:

• BoatCam is still running a 1.19.x version, it could create instabilities but it seems to work fine for now
• Simple Voice Chat is on 2.4.13 while all servers currently run an older 2.4.x build. It should be backwards compatible regardless, but it's experimental anyway

Known Issues:

• FrostHex is upgrading to 1.20, so it fully supports the new BoatUtils now. However if you load chunks that haven't been upgraded yet, you can experience some lag. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Ice Boat Racing 1.20.1 Modrinth Notes

Welcome to the 1.20 update, now updated for boat racing! After a tough month of updating and reconfiguring the old (and new) mods, I can confidently release this for the public for events. Note that these patch notes are reflecting from 1.1.1(-Quilt), not the testing builds.

Patch notes:

• The modpack now runs Quilt 0.19.1 as the modloader instead of Fabric
• BoatUtils has been modified to include both rally and BlindAttack modes! You no longer need to swap it out manually.
• Added OinkScoreboard to increase the customizability of the scoreboard, most notably increasing the maximum length.
• Added Lithium to lower the chance of boatlag caused by server-side boat positions (indicated with lightning rods, you can still get lag when close to the rod)
• Added Reese's Sodium Options to make the graphics settings menu easier to navigate and provide more options
• Added CameraUtils to provide more possible third person camera options
• Added ReplayMod to record boat racing events, configured so it interpolates boats somewhat optimally
• Added ViaFabricPlus for older servers that haven't updated to 1.20.x
• Temporarily removed MemoryLeakFix to prevent a rare launch crash due to ViaFabricPlus
• Swapped out Boosted Brightness with Gamma Utils (Fullbright) to make the effects of brightening less tense on the eyes and more configurable by the user
• Removed LazyDFU thanks to Mojang optimizing the DataFixerUpper since 1.19.4
• Removed AntiGhost because it took up an unnecessary keybind
• Removed Item Model Fix because its impact was too little to justify the performance hit due to many boats possibly being on screen at once

Minor changes & bugfixes:

• Fixed a misconfiguration on the server list where FrostHex had custom server resource packs disabled by default instead of prompting to download it
• Added Symbol Chat for funny reasons. It takes zero performance hit and you get to type in funny fonts!
• Reordered the preset server list

Current experiments:

• Swapped out Debugify for ModernFix, as it provides more stable optimization for larger boat races. Debugify won't see a readdition as it and ModernFix clash with fixes.
• BoatCam is still running a 1.19.1 version, it could create instabilities but it seems to work fine for now, consider it experimental
• VeryManyPlayers is currently running a development version, so consider it experimental. I've chosen to continue running VMP because of the upcoming BlueCity Circuit event which will host a race with more than 50 people.

Known Issues:

• Simple Voice Chat is on 2.4.11 while all servers currently use 2.4.2. It should be backwards compatible (apart from BoatLabs' BlindAttack subserver, which is on 2.3.8 and is fully incompatible).
• FrostHex does not fully support the new BoatUtils yet so any of those tracks are broken right now. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Ice Boat Racing 1.20.1 Modrinth Notes

Welcome to the 1.20 update, now being updated for boat racing! Please note that this modpack update so far is in BETA. I'm not liable for any instabilities during races. Note that these patch notes are reflecting from 1.1.1-Quilt, not the testing builds.

Patch notes:

• BoatUtils has been modified to include both rally and BlindAttack modes! You no longer need to swap it out manually.
• Added OinkScoreboard to increase the customizability of the scoreboard, most notably increasing the maximum length.
• Added Lithium to lower the chance of boatlag caused by server-side boat positions (indicated with lightning rods, you can still get lag when close to the rod)
• Added Reese's Sodium Options to make the graphics settings menu easier to navigate and provide more options
• Added ViaFabricPlus for older servers that haven't updated to 1.20.x
• Temporarily removed MemoryLeakFix to prevent a rare launch crash due to ViaFabricPlus
• Swapped out Boosted Brightness with Gamma Utils (Fullbright) to make the effects of brightening less tense on the eyes and more configurable by the user
• Removed LazyDFU thanks to Mojang optimizing the DataFixerUpper since 1.19.4
• Removed AntiGhost because it took up an unnecessary keybind
• Removed Item Model Fix because its impact was too little to justify the performance hit due to many boats possibly being on screen at once

Minor changes & bugfixes:

• Fixed a misconfiguration on the server list where FrostHex had custom server resource packs disabled by default instead of prompting to download it
• Added Symbol Chat for funny reasons. It takes zero performance hit and you get to type in funny fonts!
• Reordered the preset server list

Current experiments:

• Swapping out Debugify for ModernFix, as it provides more stable optimization for larger boat races. Debugify could see a readdition when its config library gets updated, then I need to test whether it and ModernFix can coexist in the modpack.
• BoatCam is still running a 1.19.1 version, it could create instabilities but it seems to work fine for now, consider it experimental
• VeryManyPlayers is currently running a development version, so consider it experimental. I've chosen to continue running VMP because of the upcoming BlueCity Circuit event which will host a race with more than 50 people.

Known Issues:

• Simple Voice Chat is on 2.4.10 while all servers currently use 2.4.2. It should be backwards compatible (apart from BoatLabs' BlindAttack subserver, which is on 2.3.8 and is fully incompatible).
• FrostHex does not support the new BoatUtils yet so any of those tracks are broken right now. Sorry for the inconvenience!

UNRELEASED MODS AND YET TO BE ADDED:

• Borderless Mining
• Debugify (YetAnotherConfigLib needs to be updated)

Up for addition:

• CameraUtils (possible further customizability for users)
• ReplayMod (to record your boat races/runs)

Ice Boat Racing 1.2.0-α Update Notes

Welcome to the 1.20 update, now being updated for boat racing! Please note that this modpack update so far is in ALPHA. I'm not liable for any instabilities during races.

Patch notes:

• BoatUtils has been modified to include both rally and BlindAttack modes! You no longer need to swap it out manually.
• Added ViaFabricPlus for older servers that haven't updated to 1.20.x (to be swapped out with ViaFabric as + is causing incompatibilities with MemoryLeakFix)
• Temporarily removed MemoryLeakFix to prevent a rare launch crash due to ViaFabricPlus
• Swapped out Boosted Brightness with Gamma Utils (Fullbright) to make the effects of brightening less tense on the eyes and more configurable by the user
• Removed LazyDFU thanks to Mojang optimizing the DataFixerUpper since 1.19.4
• Removed AntiGhost because it took up an unneccesary keybind
• Removed Item Model Fix because it's impact was too little to justify the performance hit due to many boats possibly being on screen
• Fixed a misconfiguration on the serverlist where FrostHex had custom server resource packs disabled by default instead of prompting

Current experiments:

• Swapping out Debugify for ModernFix, as it provides more stable optimization for larger boat races

• BoatCam is still running a 1.19.1 version, it could create instabilities but it seems to work fine for now, consider it experimental

• VeryManyPlayers is currently running a development version, so consider it experimental. I've chosen to continue running VMP because of the upcoming BlueCity Circuit event which will host a race with more than 50 people.

Known Issues:

• Currently using the ClothConfig 1.20 API instead of a 1.20.1 version because it doesn't exist yet, which could cause instabilities

• Simple Voice Chat is on 2.4.10 while all servers currently use 2.4.2 (apart from BoatLabs' BlindAttack subserver, which is on 2.3.8?)

• FrostHex does not support the new BoatUtils yet so any of those tracks are broken right now

UNRELEASED MODS AND/OR YET TO BE ADDED:

• BetterF3 (No 1.20 ver. available yet)
• UglyScoreboardFix (Not updated)
• Krypton (Not updated)
• Borderless Mining (Not updated)
• BoatHUD Compact Ver. (Not updated)
• Indium (Not updated)

Possible addition for beta release:

• CameraUtils (possible further customizability for users)
• ReplayMod (to record your boat races/runs)
• Reese's Sodium Options (customizability)

Ice Boat Racing 1.1.1Q Update notes

This update doesn't change anything within the modpack itself, however, it swaps out the Fabric client for Quilt. I've decided on this because Quilt offers more futureproofing and gives access to new mods if the user wants to add them. It also sets a fresh platform for 1.20, when all mods are ready to be updated!

• Swapped out Fabric (0.14.17) for Quilt (0.19.1-beta3)

Hotfix 1.1.1 Update Notes

If this hotfix doesn't automatically remove C2ME, please do so manually. Bobby and C2ME clash within the Sodium Chunk Renderer which causes a stuttery FPS mess.

• Fixed memory leak caused by C2ME fighting with Bobby for what mod caches the chunks (achieved by removing C2ME)
• Reconfigured Bobby to remove cached chunks after 3 days of not visiting those worlds in order to save storage space

Added the following mods:

• MoreCulling (General FPS increase)
• Cull Less Leaves (To combat harsh leaf culling from MoreCulling)
• FerriteCore (Lowers RAM usage, less long-time play stutter)
• Concurrent Chunk Management Engine (C2ME, should lower the amount of stuttering when loading previously unvisited chunks, a specific fix for Blind Attack event)
• ImmediatelyFast (Smoothens the launch of the game)
• Item Model Fix (Fixes delta fighting on colliding boats)
• Krypton (Should make hitboxes concerning boat bumps more consistent(ly annoying), based on your own network latency)
• Very Many Players (Improves FPS during large races, mainly FC1/FC2, BA)
• MoreChatHistory (Because I was annoyed at not seeing checkpoints further back)

Updated:

• Memory Leak Fix (1.0.0 Beta 6 > 1.0.0 Release, version bump)

Mod Configuration Updates:

• Added MoreCulling config so it doesn't fight with Cull Less Leaves during rendering
• Added Krypton config for optimizing boat updates to make sure you don't randomly phase through boats and get lagged back when you definitely had a server-side collision
• Fixed a Bobby misconfiguration that caused chunks being present in the wrong world when swapping worlds within a server
• Updated BoatCam settings (increased default stiffness to be less immediate when performing reverse entries)
• Disabled ModMenu's "Update available!" diamond (They are still present within the Mods menu itself, should the need arise!)

Mod Notes:

• Most of these are optimization mods that I experimented with during some funraces, so please consider them as such. However, these mods do improve framerates by a lot, so your inputs should be more consistent for racing.
• EntityCulling was tested, but was found unreliable during high-speed sections in races.
• FrostHex ABG is updating their SVC version, you should be able speak to other players again soon! They will be running 2.4.2, however, newer mod versions should be backwards compatible if you ever decide to update it on your own.

Added/Changed the following mods:

• Added Ugly Scoreboard Fix (+ CompleteConfig)
• BoatUtils > BoatUtils Blind Attack Edition

While this does break rally tracks, the BA version will be standardized going forward.

Updated the following mods:

• Iris Shaders (1.5.x > 1.6.1)
• Simple Voice Chat (2.3.28 > 2.4.2) Note: FrostHex ABG is in the process of updating their SVC version, if you see a notice that your version is mismatching,

Other Changes

• For fresh installs: Changed BRWC IP adress to match the current stable proxy.
• Users that are updating need to manually adjust it, the new IP is "brwc.grub-bros.de"

Fully compatible with 1.0.1 settings. This version includes settings for new players:

• Added servers.dat
• Added options.txt (uses Sotumney's personal settings, should be ideal for newer players.)

This version replaces 1.0.0 and fixes things that I accidentally left in the folders when I exported it. This pack now complies with Modrinth general rules.

• Cleared Simple Voice Chat settings
• Removed personal texture packs
• Removed personal shaderpack
• Cleaned up mod configs for the user to tune

Other changes:

• 1.0.0 removed from downloads
