Changes
Important Fix
- Mechanist no longer freezes the server. Its structure compass located every registered structure on the main thread each tick (synchronous disk I/O) β that caused the 25-second server hang. The compass is removed; the Mechanist now just reveals nearby spawners through walls, and a spawner you mine stops glowing immediately.
New & Improved
- Lion is now a rideable ground mount π¦ β right-click to ride (no level requirement, land only, no flight). Forward to run, jump to hop over 1-block steps, sneak to dismount. No horse inventory. Sneak + right-click still opens Customize.
- Cave Spider climbing reworked π·οΈ β face a wall to climb it (look down to descend), and hold sneak to cling in place so you can turn around without falling off.
- Snow Golem βοΈ now visibly throws snowballs from the pet, with a throw sound.
- Mimic now shows a visible shield (particle ring + shield sound) when it wards a hit.
Compiles clean on Paper 26.2; 66/66 tests pass. Drop BetterPets-1.16.0.jar into your plugins/ folder.
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
