Here's a fun bug you can try at home:
- Create a new world
- Spawn in a pocket computer, turn it on, and place it in a chest.
- Reload the world - the pocket computer in the chest should now be
off.
- Spawn in a new pocket computer, and turn it on. The computer in chest
will also appear to be on!
This bug has been present since pocket computers were added (27th March,
2024).
When a pocket computer is added to a player's inventory, it is assigned
a unique *per-session* "instance id" , which is used to find the
associated computer. Note the "per-session" there - these ids will be
reused if you reload the world (or restart the server).
In the above bug, we see the following:
- The first pocket computer is assigned an instance id of 0.
- After reloading, the second pocket computer is assigned an instance
id of 0.
- If the first pocket computer was in our inventory, it'd be ticked and
assigned a new instance id. However, because it's in an inventory, it
keeps its old one.
- Both computers look up their client-side computer state and get the
same value, meaning the first pocket computer mirrors the second!
To fix this, we now ensure instance ids are entirely unique (not just
per-session). Rather than sequentially assigning an int, we now use a
random UUID (we probably could get away with a random long, but this
feels more idiomatic).
This has a couple of user-visible changes:
- /computercraft no longer lists instance ids outside of dumping an
individual computer.
- The @c[instance=...] selector uses UUIDs. We still use int instance
ids for the legacy selector, but that'll be removed in a later MC
version.
- Pocket computers now store a UUID rather than an int.
Related to this change (I made this change first, but then they got
kinda mixed up together), we now only create PocketComputerData when
receiving server data. This makes the code a little uglier in some
places (the data may now be null), but means we don't populate the
client-side pocket computer map with computers the server doesn't know
about.
- Split buttons.png into individual textures.
- Split corners_xyz.png into the following:
- borders_xyz.png: A nine-sliced texture of the computer borders.
- pocket_bottom_xyz.png: A horizontally 3-sliced texture of the
bottom part of a pocket computer.
- sidebar_xyz.png: A vertically 3-sliced texture of the computer
sidebar.
While not splitting the sliced textures into smaller ones may seem a
little odd, it's consistent with what vanilla does in 1.20.2, and I
think will make editing them easier than juggling 9 textures.
I do want to make this more data-driven in the future, but that will
have to wait until the changes in 1.20.2.
This also adds a tools/update-resources.py program, which performs this
transformation on a given resource pack.
This adds SPDX license headers to all source code files, following the
REUSE[1] specification. This does not include any asset files (such as
generated JSON files, or textures). While REUSE does support doing so
with ".license" files, for now we define these licences using the
.reuse/dep5 file.

Lots of minor changes, but nothing too nasty - just tedious.
Known bugs/issues:
- REI and JEI haven't been updated at the time of writing, so our usage
of their APIs may be incompatible.
- Crash when opening the config UI in Fabric, as forgeconfigapi-port
hasn't been updated yet.
Will hold off on doing a release until those mods have updated.
After several weeks of carefully arranging ribbons, we pull the string
and end up with, ... a bit of a messy bow. There were still some things
I'd missed.
- Split the mod into a common (vanilla-only) project and Forge-specific
project. This gives us room to add Fabric support later on.
- Split the project into main/client source sets. This is not currently
statically checked: we'll do that soon.
- Rename block/item/tile entities to use suffixes rather than prefixes.
