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)
