# Create Kart — Global Update Patch Notes (v2.3.0 to v3.1.0) [DevNote] Hello everyone! Since I'm not the most regular updater out there, this massive release bridges the gap straight from **v2.3.0 to v3.1.0** on Modrinth! This giant changelog compiles everything introduced across versions **2.5.0**, **3.0.0**, and **3.1.0**. Under the hood, the mod went through a complete rewrite from scratch during the 2.5 phase (cleaning up ~11,000 to ~4,100 lines of legacy code) to achieve total stability. Following that, versions 3.0 and 3.1 brought multi-loader support (**NeoForge**, **Fabric**, and **Forge 1.20.1**), advanced engine audio, a complete handling overhaul, and the brand-new **"Kart on the Ice"** mechanics featuring glued wheels, Ponder tutorials, and sequential assembly! --- ## [Additions] ### 🏎️ Drift, Boost & Handling Mechanics (v2.5.0) * **Complete Drift Rework**: Hold the drift key while turning (with sufficient speed and accelerator pressed) to lock the turning side. Steering towards the drift tightens the curve, while steering away widens it. * **3 Drift Charge Levels**: Visual indicators progress from smoke to flames, blue flames, and sparks at levels 1, 2, and 3 (1s, 2s, 3s). Releasing the key triggers a lengthier speed boost with rear flames and sound. * **Dynamic Drift Camera**: The driver's camera smoothly follows the kart's rotation in 1st and 3rd person (can be disabled in client config). * **Snappier Acceleration**: Karts reach top speed in ~7s instead of 11.5s. * **Real Braking & Coasting (v3.1.0)**: Pressing the reverse key while moving forward now acts as a powerful brake (stopping in ~0.75s with white particles), and karts can now be steered even without pressing the accelerator. ### 🧱 Glued Wheels & Advanced Automation (v3.1.0) * **Glued Wheels**: Shift + Right-Click a kart with glue. **Create Super Glue** (green wheels) gives maximum grip, increased water speed (~4x faster), sharper cornering, and faster deceleration. **Ice Glue** (blue wheels) makes the kart slide across all solid surfaces with unique spin-in-place mechanics when coasting on ice. Glue wears down gradually (4 durability points per use). * **Ice Glue ("Super Ice")**: A brand-new item crafted using Create Super Glue and blue ice. * **Glue Applicator**: A functional block placed on the ground that automatically coats passing karts with glue from its internal tube. * **Sequential Assembly**: Karts can now be built automatically using Create's sequential assembly mechanics (placing a chassis on a depot or belt and deploying components step-by-step through the 11 stages). * **Deployer Recoloring**: Easily dye karts by placing them on a depot under a deployer holding any of the 16 vanilla dyes. * **Ponder Tutorials**: Fully animated Ponder scenes have been integrated directly into version 3.1.0 to help players learn assembly, gluing, recoloring, and refueling. * **JEI Support**: Compact recipe viewing for automated kart assembly. ### 🪑 Tools, Environment & Interactions (v2.5.0 - v3.0.0) * **Create Wrench Disassembly**: Use **Maj + Right-Click** with a Create wrench to pick up individual components (engine, wheel, exhaust, seat, bumper, chassis) without destroying the kart. The wrench also manages tire stacks one tire at a time. * **Interactive Seat Block**: Players can sit directly on placed seat blocks in the world (Shift to dismount). * **Continuous Engine Audio & Idle Animations (v3.0.0)**: Karts feature continuous engine loops (idle audio with vibration animations when fueled, running audio when moving, and immediate silence when empty or parked). * **Achievements**: Added the **"Hit and Run"** achievement for running over mobs, plus **"That's Sticky!"** and **"Kart on the Ice"** for the gluing mechanics. * **Localization**: Full translation across 12 languages, including localized color names and funny advancement titles. --- ## [Changes] * **Server-Side Configuration**: Gameplay settings have moved to server configuration files (`serverconfig/create_kart-server.toml`), ensuring synchronized mechanics in multiplayer. * **Parked Kart Behavior**: Unattended karts stop dead in their tracks (no runaway rolling, fuel drain, or accidental damage), and empty karts cannot be pushed around by walking players. * **Fuel Rebalance**: Coal and charcoal grant +500 units, and coal blocks grant +4,500 units. Empty karts immediately enter low-fuel under-rev mode upon world load. * **Backward Compatibility & Legacy Conversions**: Older world saves (v2.5.0 / v3.0.0) load seamlessly. Legacy incomplete kart items stored in player inventories automatically convert to the new stage system upon pickup. --- ## [Bug Fixes] * **Multiplayer & Server Stability**: Fixed dedicated server crashes, resolved network packet conflicts by merging them into a single reliable channel (`create_kart:main`), and implemented strict server-side calculation authority to eliminate positioning desync. * **Steering & Physics Corrections**: Fixed reversed left/right controls during drifts and corrected steering behavior during true reverse movement. * **Visual Glitches**: Cleaned up model offset issues after turns, removed flickering "non-drift" overlay bugs, and fixed pink-and-black checkered advancement tab backgrounds. --- ## ⚠️ Breaking Changes & Requirements * **Network Protocol 6**: Due to deep structural updates, the server and all connecting clients **must be running version 3.1.0** (older protocol versions are rejected at login). * **Platform & Dependency Matrix for v3.1.0**: * **NeoForge 1.21.1**: Requires NeoForge `21.1.219+`, Create `6.0.10+`, GeckoLib `4.9.3+`, and Java 21. * **Fabric 1.21.1**: Requires Fabric Loader `0.19.3+`, Fabric API, GeckoLib `4.9.3+`, Forge Config API Port `21.1.3+`, and the unofficial Blockfield Create fork (`create-fabric-6.0.0.0+mc1.21.1-bf4` with Porting Lib and Milk Lib). * **Forge 1.20.1**: Requires Forge `47+`, Create `6.0.4+`, GeckoLib `4.4.2+`, and Java 17. --- ## [Roadmap] 🔹 **3.2.0** – Expanded compatibility with other Create fuel add-ons 🔹 **3.3.0** – Surprise Camera Update! 🔹 **3.4.0** – Suggest your ideas in the comments!
