1.21.4-v2.20.0

General Changes

• We're on 1.21.4. With that comes the general expected changes, like item data components.

Building Tool

• Clone: Now works across dimensions and players. You can hand another player a building tool and access their cloned region regardless of what dimension it's from.
• Added a nifty animation when the GUI opens :D

Gel Blocks

• Gel blocks have had their back end rewritten from scratch.
• Previously, Gel Blocks implemented the IStructureGel interface to hook into the various spreading mechanics, used an enum of behaviors to determine the default spreading rules, and had a block state for how far it traveld. Most of this is gone.
• Gel spreading behavior is now registered under structure_gel:gel_spread_behavior.
  • This is how gel spreads along a specific axis, or along diagonals.
• Gel spreading restrictions can be registered under structure_gel:gel_spread_restriction.
  • This is how blue gel knows not to spread into exposed areas, or how orange gel knows to stop based on the item stack count.
• The distance gel spreads is now an absolute distance to the initial source instead of traveling and counting how many were placed, and reaches a sphere shape if fully expanded.
  • This allows gel to spread more effectively in twisting hallways, and more reliably hit the corners of large rooms.
• Any block can be used as gel in a structure as long as it's added to the structure_gel:gel block tag. If the block in the tag is actually a StructureGelBlock, it can customize what it places instead of defaulting to air.

Data Handler

• Changed how registry works so that a builder is what gets registered. See implemented data handlers for reference.

Dynamic Spawner

• Changed how registry works so that a builder is what gets registered.

GelPortalBlock

• Completely rewritten. Hopefully for the last time. The GelPortalBlock class is abstract and requires the implementation of various methods to make the portal function properly (with similar behavior to a nether portal).
  • Ignition of the portal is handled by calling GelPortalBlock.tryIgnite.
  • The dimension transition screen must be registered manually.

Registries

• Added two new registries; structure_gel:gel_spread_behavior and structure_gel:gel_spread_restriction.
  • Used to control the behavior of Gel blocks. Custom values can be registered and implemented on your own custom Gel block.
• Changed the registry process of structure_gel:dynamic_spawner_type and structure_gel:data_handler_type.
  • The new registry approach instead works by registering a "factory" to create a Data Handler or Dynamic Spawner. Overall, the code is more builder-focused and simplified, with access to registry data to prepare for more registries moving to datapacks in vanilla.
  • See com.legacy.structure_gel.core.registry.SGRegistries for how to register the new data.

Registrar

• Internal changes to how data is stored. The basic rules of "don't get a value before it was registered" still applies.
• Registrar.Static now contains a Holder.Reference for the object registered.
• Registrar.Static can be created with a name only using RegistrarHandler.named(String).
  • In this case, a value must be assigned later through RegistrarHandler.addHandlerListener(Consumer<RegistrarHandler>).
  • An error will be thrown if a static registrar is created by name only and never assigned a value.
• Added updated handling for block and item registry.
• See com.legacy.structure_gel.core.registry.SGRegistries for usage.

1.20.4-v2.19.1

Data Handler

• Fixed cycle buttons in the GUI not starting at the correct default value
• Made adding StringRepresentable enums to the parser easier

Building Tool

• Fixed the selection edit screen not hovering buttons correctly

1.20.4-v2.19.0

Building Tool

• Can now set if blocks placed will cause block updates or not
  • This also supresses block and fluid ticks that occur when the block is placed (water won't flow, sand won't fall)
• Each mode shows up in the creative mode search tab
• The Building Tool palette screen no longer serializes default block state values when re-opening the screen
  • If an oak log was set in the palette, it would previously display as minecraft:oak_log[axis=y], even if the axis property was left as the default. It will now display minecraft:oak_log in that case. This is especially visible with blocks that have a large number of states, such as fences
• Building Tool block palettes can be exported as a Block Palette item. This item can be dropped onto the Building Tool, like how you'd use a bundle, to set the palette.

Fill Tool

• Fixed the Retain State property not functioning as expected
• Retain State has been renamed to Copy States
  • When True (default): Copies applicable block state values from the replaced block to the block being placed. This means stairs/slabs/fences/etc will have the same block states when replaced.
  • When False: Places the block without any modifications. This is similar to the vanilla fill command.

Replace Tool

• Added the Copy States property
  • Defaults to true

Clone Tool

• Fixed pasted regions being hollowed out
• Can now also handle entities
• Improved the handling of internally saving captured regions for the Clone tool
  • Regions with the same bounding box are not saved more than once. Only the latest copy will be saved
  • This prevents multiple copies of the same selected region from completely filling your clipboard
  • This breaks old clipboard data
• Pressing ctrl + c in game while holding the clone tool will manually re-copy the selected region
• Pressing ctrl + v in game while holding the clone tool will paste the copied region
  • This does not replace left click, it's just an alternative button press
• Improved the compile time of the render-preview
• If a render preview takes longer than 8 seconds to compile (freezing the game client in the process), the preview will be aborted. This timer can be adjusted in the config.

Move Tool

• Can now also handle entities

Commands

• Dramatically optimized the time to find Structure Blocks when using /structure_gel savestructures search
• Added /structure_gel debug
  • This will be used for miscellaneous commands that have a very specific function and won't need to be used often, if at all
  • Currently used for /structure_gel debug update_structures_to_structure to update the file location in a Structure Block to the 1.21 format where the structures folder is renamed to structure (if applicable). It does so by finding and replacing the first instance of :structures/ with :structure/ in the resource location. This uses the exact same syntax as /structure_gel savestructures
• Commands affecting Structure Blocks display a Redstone Torch particle above the affected blocks
• Added /structure_gel ? to display the basic function of the other sub-commands

Structure Blocks

• The Show Invisible Blocks option allows selecting which blocks to show
  • The Show Invisible Blocks option can dramatically decrease your fps on large selections. This can help by only showing what you care about.

Misc

• Made a number of GUI changes to improve mouse scrolling and hovering
• Some GUIs have tooltips when elements are hovered over
  • Dynamic spawner labels give extra info
  • The Building Tool palette screen gives info when hovering over the item icon for a block

Added /structure_gel getfeatures command. Uses the same syntax as getstructures... but for features!

1.20.4-v2.18.0

RegisterArmorTrimTexturesEvent

• Added registerSprite(ResourceLocation) for registering a direct texture that isn't standard armor with a _leggings suffix.

Building Tool

• Added more replace options to more tool modes.
• Added Replaceable as a replace option. Replaces blocks that could be replaced by a player when placing a block, such as short grass and blocks in the #minecraft:replaceable tag.

Fixes

• The Building Tool and Data Handler no longer allow objects disabled through feature flags.

1.20.1-v2.16.1

RegisterArmorTrimTexturesEvent

• Added registerSprite(ResourceLocation) for registering a direct texture that isn't standard armor with a _leggings suffix.

1.20.4-v2.17.2

Fixes

Fixed a crash when connecting to servers

1.20.4-v2.17.1

Updated NeoForge version as well as minor updates and fixes.

Building Tool

• Added the delete key as a keybind for tool modes to use.
  • Currently only used by the fill tool to delete all blocks in the selection.

Fixes

• Fixed en_us.lang using • instead of \u2022.

1.20.4-v2.17.0

Ported to 1.20.4 and now on NeoForge

General Changes

• Removed old IForgeRegistry methods. Vanilla registries are used now.

Registries

• All custom registries have been moved to proper NeoForge registries stored within com.legacy.structure_gel.api.registry.StructureGelRegistries and their respective events have been removed.
  • DataHandlerType
  • LootTableAlias
  • DynamicSpawnerType
  • JigsawCapabilityType

Registrar

• General optimizations to registry behavior. Removed a number of redundant checks.
• RegistrarHandler.BlockHandler returns Registrar.BlockRef instead of Registrar.Static.
  • BlockRef implements ItemLike and has a defaultBlockState() method.
• Added RegistrarHandler.ItemHandler
  • Similar to BlockHandler but specific to Items.
  • Creates Registrar.ItemRef instead of Registrar.Static.
    • ItemRef implements ItemLike and has a defaultInstance() method.
• Removed RegistrarDatapackEntriesProvider
  • Use new DatapackBuiltinEntriesProvider(packOutput, gatherDataEvent.getLookupProvider(), RegistrarHandler.injectRegistries(new RegistrySetBuilder()), Set.of(my_mod_id));
• Added @RegistrarHolder
  • Class annotation that allows Structure Gel to find and load RegistrarHandler fields within it.
  • RegistarHandlers must be public and static to be accessible. An exception will be thrown if this is not the case.
  • RegistarHandlers are registered during RegisterEvent during EventPriority.HIGHEST. If you have RegisterEvent listeners at this priority, mod load order may prevent this from working properly.

Jigsaw Capability

• Recieved a major refactor to better organize the data.
  • JigsawCapability.IJigsawCapability -> JigsawCapability
  • JigsawCapability.JigsawType -> JigsawCapabilityType

Building Tool

• Added Fuzzy as an option to the Extend tool.

GelPortal block

• Thanks to BlockType codec requirements, this is now an abstract class.
  • The GelTeleporter factory that was previously passed as an argument is now an abstract method getTeleporter(ServerLevel, GelPortalBlock)
• Now has some handling for when the Axis property isn't present to allow not including it.

Data Handlers

• Fixed text boxes not always losing focus in the GUI.
• Tab-navigation no longer autocompletes the first option for text boxes that suggest a field if nothing was typed.
• Control + Pick Block now also copies if the block was waterlogged and if it should connect to other blocks.
• Updated hover-tooltips (see below).

Rendering

• Updated how hover-tooltips work for Jigsaws, Structure Blocks, and Data Handlers.
  • The display name now renders with transparency, so it doesn't get cut off when it goes into a block.
  • The display name also adjusts its offset according to what side of the block you're looking at, and if that side of the block is exposed.

Commands

• Added /structure_gel nv to toggle night vision
  • Has optional arguments for players and if the effect should be added or removed

Misc Internal Changes

• Mixins are now located in their own package based on environment side.
  • client, common, and server (unused currently)
• Packets are now located in their own package based on direction.
  • c_to_s, s_to_c, and bi_directional
• Redid several mixins to utilize MixinExtras for better cross-mod compat.
• ExtendedJigsawPlacement has been removed. All logic is handled through mixins to the vanilla JigsawStructure and JigsawPlacement.
• GelTemplate has beem moved to the api package.

1.20.1-v2.16.0

LoadStructureTemplateEvent

• New event that fires after a StructureTemplate loads.
• Contains methods to modify the blocks and entities within the template.

Gel Blocks

• Now automatically perform their function without needing to implement the structure processor or use a specific StructurePiece type.
  • If the processor is already present, it will still use that.
  • This will not be done when loading a template through Structure Blocks or the place template command.

IModifyState

• Any TemplateStructurePiece that extends IModifyState will now work with it as long as the postProcess method isn't overwritten.

Data Handler

• All handlers can now mark blocks for post processing in the Properties menu.
  • Useful for making sure water flows after being placed, or updating fence connections for neighboring structures.
  • The position marked for post processing will be the position of the data handler itself, with the applied offset.
• Added structure_gel:empty as an empty data handler.
  • Its primary function is to set an offset and mark a position for post processing.
  • This is not used by default if the data handler can't be loaded from nbt.
• Fixed the structure_gel:block_state using structure_gel:chest for its data parser.

Building Tool

• The Shape tool now has Hollow Cube, Cube Frame, Pyramid, and Cone.
  • Changing the shape now uses a selection panel instead of clicking to cycle to the next value.
• The Fill tool now supports all the shapes from the Shape tool for fine control over shapes (replaces the old Mode property).
• The Clone tool now temporarily saves its selected region into a clipboard.
  • This allows for cloning to an area far away, regardless of the source being loaded.
  • The region is not actually saved to the item itself, but rather to an external file in the dimension's data folder..
  • This results in drastic client performance improvements, especially for large selections.
• The Replace tool now has a "Fuzzy" property that allows only replacing directly attached neighbors or diagonal neighbors.
• Fixed a number of vertex sorting issues with the Clone tool.
• Translatable text values in the GUI's now scroll like vanilla options buttons.
• Action history is no longer stored in a level capability. It has been moved to SavedData files to allow for more dynamic loading.

Block Entities

• Added IRotatable interface.
  • Allows a block entity to be rotated and mirroed when placed in a structure.
  • Contains void mirror(Mirror) and void rotate(Rotate).
  • Supported by vanilla's StructureTemplate (mixin), GelTemplate, relavent data handlers, and relavent Building Tool modes.

Misc

• Added an abstract item interface: StructureFinderItem
  • Contains basic methods to get/set located structure info within itself.
• Improved performance with data handler processing.
• Some registry events have been deprecated. They will become NeoForge registries in 1.20.4.

1.20.1-v2.15.1

Data Handler

• Now preserves block state values when giving the player a copy after using the generate button.
• Fixed item frames potentially causing a world lockup.

1.20.1-v2.15.0

Building Tool

• Fixed the replace tool not maintaining block states with things like stairs.

Data Handler

• Added an option for the data handler to not connect to fences, walls, etc.

1.18.2-v2.4.8

• Fixed a world gen lockup with entity data handlers.

1.20.1-v2.14.0

Building Tool

• The Flood tool now has a radius and replace property.

  • Replace can be "Air" or "Air and Liquid" and defaults to "Air and Liquid" (was "Air" only).
  • Radius can range from 0-200 and defaults to 80 (was 64).

• The Extend tool now has a radius and replace property.

  • Replace can be "Air" or "Air and Liquid" and defaults to "Air and Liquid" (was "Air" only).
  • Radius can range from 0-200 and defaults to 80 (was 64).

• The size of the currently selected region is displayed above the hotbar and in the selection edit GUI.

  • The line tool displays its length instead.

• The blocks in your current pallete are displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen.

  

• The size of a selection can now be edited in the GUI with text boxes.

  • This assumes you're changing the positive most corner of the selection box. If a full selection box doesn't exist, one will be created from your position, or a point.

• The line tool selection can be edited by grabbing the "corner" position of the selection points.

• Holding right and left click allows the building tool to spam operations.

  • Actions that happen as a result of spamming are grouped into one undo/redo.

• Color coded some text values related to positions.

• Dramatically improved the visuals of some renders.

  • This also improves performance.
  

General

• Added more utility methods to VoxelShapeUtil.

Fixes

• The clone building tool wasn't updating the render when you rotate or mirror.
• The building tool render wasn't displaying right away when you join a world.
• Keybinds weren't working when mapped to mouse buttons.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue that could cause a world lockup when creating an entity through a data handler.

1.20.1-v2.13.1

Data Handlers

• Data handlers now support position offsets.
  • Position offsets are handled as left, up, and forwards, from the perspective of the data handler.
  • The offset position is rendered in world.
• Updated the Data Handler GUI to be more organized.
• Data handlers can be waterlogged in the GUI now.
• Data Handlers are now in the dragon_immune and wither_immune block tags.

Building Tool Rendering

• Optimized the rendering logic.
• Rendering in Shape, Replace, or Clone mode now works with a proper culling system, which should make it look nicer.
• Renders now have shading to improve their visibility.

Before and After

Fixes

• Fixed the building tool not working with negative reach values properly.
• Fixed the building tool's message for the new reach distance showing an incorrect value.
• Fixed building tool rendering in Fabulous graphics to match fast/fancy.
• Fixed a crash when a mod's dependency is missing.

Updated to 1.20.1, general code cleanup with deprecated data, armor trims can be registered to the texture atlas.
