2.3.0

Added

• Added a New Version Warning screen!
  • Do you release your mods as Alphas/Snapshots, feel free to use this new system and warn your users about it!!!
  • More Info on: Wiki

Changed

• getRandomVariant() will never return null anymore!
• Completely Rewrote the PityRandom to allow for every type of class(T) in stead of only Doubles. (Still Experimental)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed PacketsRegistry from randomly deciding to crash without any reason.

2.2.0

Requires NeoForge: 21.1.181 or higher

Added

• Annotated every method in the codebase with relevant annotations (@NotNull, @Nullable, @Experimental, @Internal, @OverrideOnly)
• Developers can now manually exclude custom mods in the LoadedModsEvent
• Moved ReloadHandler to the common package for shared access

Changed

• All dependencies updated to latest versions
• Set "Thank You" event priority to lowest (NeoForge only)

Variant Loader

• Fully rewritten and modernized the Variant Loader

• Introduced performance improvements like smarter caching and new utility methods

• Switched from String to ResourceLocation for saving entity identifiers

  • Allows multiple mods to use the Variant Loader without name conflicts

• Replaced getVariantName() and setVariantName() default interface methods (which relied on unstable casting to IVariantAccessor)

  • New generic interface: IVariantEntity<T>
  • Entities now implement IVariantEntity<YourClass> and override getEntity() to return this

  @Override
  public @NotNull YourEntityClass getEntity() {
      return this;
  }
  

  • This change improves type safety and eliminates the need to implement get/setVariantName() manually

Fixed

• Fixed crash when Scheduler failed to load without Variant Loader
• Made blue logging text lighter and easier to read
• Logging now works correctly when enabled in config
• Corrected a language inconsistency in the "Mods Loaded" message
• "Thank You" message now shows after loading is complete
• Resolved conflict where Minecraft reported a duplicate packet registration

This version brings Breaking Changes.

Updating might make your mod incompatible with previous versions of the Library.

2.0.0

Added

Variant Loader

• Added a fallback variant parameter to getParameterDataFromVariant, allowing shared data to be centralized in a single JSON instead of duplicating it per variant.
• Reworked the entire Loading system to have the Events on the Library side and allow Developers to just inject the path and entities.
  • Instead of handling everything themself.
  • All Developers can now remove their ReloadHandler since it became redundant and has been replaced with a way cleaner and more optimized system.
  • For more details, visit the Wiki.
• onReload has been modified to onDatapackSync.

Logging

• Added a new /log command accessible to users with a permission level of 3 or higher (/op).
  • This command opens an in-game menu displaying console logs, allowing developers to monitor output directly without needing terminal access.
  • Supports log levels with color-coded formatting for easier readability.
• isLoggingEnabled has been moved to a server sided config.
• All Logging is now translatable through Minecrafts Component System!
• Added a ton more ways to Log stuff to match the slf4j system.

Network Handler

• Introduced a streamlined network registration system.
  • Simplifies the use of custom packets by automatically handling registration internally via BlueLib.
  • Packet definitions and handlers are now separated into two distinct classes for better structure and maintainability.
  • For more details, visit the Wiki.

Packets

Variant Data Synchronization

• AllDataPacket – Sends a Map<String, JsonObject> containing all variant data from the server to the client.
• ParameterDataPacket – Sends specific parameter data for a given variant as a JsonElement.
• VariantsPacket – Sends a Set<String> representing all available variant identifiers for an entity. :warning: These packets are not registered by default; they must be registered on the S2C side, with the handler provided as a lambda defining the logic to execute when the packet is received.:warning:

Changed

• onReload has been modified to onDatapackSync.

Bug Fixes

• Cleaned up all of the Logging we had in place.

Deleted

• Removed IVariantEntityBase since it has become redundant!
