- Add a new Node plugin. This automatically installs npm dependencies
and provides a "NpxExecToDir" to dir task. This allows us to make the
doc website task dependencies a little nicer, by simply chaining
tasks together, rather than doing dependsOn + `input.files(the other
task output)`.
- Switch over to CurseForgeGradle from CurseGradle. The latter is
super clunky to use in non-Groovy languages.
- Copy our Modrinth description body to our repo, and add support for
syncing it. We'll still have to do CF manually I think.
- Lots of refactoring/cleanup to Forge's events and client APIs.
- Render types/layers for blocks are now set on the model rather than
in code.
- Models now can work with multiple render types. As this would
massively complicate the implementation of the turtle item model, we
now implement a much simpler version, which makes use of Forge's
BakedModel.getRenderPasses to return a separate model for the core
turtle and each upgrade.
- Send monitor contents to players immediately when they start watching
the chunk. ChunkWatchEvent.Watch is now fired from a more sensible
location, so this is much easier to implement!
- Switch to plugins { ... } imports for Forge (FG finally supports it!)
- Use FG's new fg.component to clean up our Maven metadata instead. We
also mark JEI as optional (using Gradle's registerFeature), which
means we've no stray deps inside our POM any more.
Oh my, a same day release! Well, if we use the AoE timezone.
Entirely untested (well, aside from automated tests), I haven't even
launched a client. In my defence, its just past midnight and I've been
up since 4am.
- Bump Forge version to latest RB.
- Generate an 8-bit audio stream again, as we no longer need to be
compatible with MC's existing streams.
No functionality changes, just mildly less hacky.
Forge 4.0.18 deprecated a lot of methods and moved where
RegistryEvent.NewRegistry lives, so we needed to update. This does break
the CC API a little bit (sorry!) though given Forge 1.18.2 is still in
flux, that's probably inevitable.
We're still a few days away from release, but don't think anything else
is going to change. And I /really/ don't want to have to write this
changelog (and then merge into later versions) on the 25th.
