## 🧩 Compatibility (Clear Scope)
- Declared mod compatibility: `Minecraft >=26.1 <=26.1.2`
- Fabric Loader: `>=0.18.4`
- Java: `>=25`
- Required dependency: `fabric-api >=0.144.0+26.1`
Recommended combinations:
- `26.1`: Loader `0.18.4+` + Fabric API `0.144.0+26.1` or a newer compatible build
- `26.1.1`: Loader `0.18.6+` + Fabric API `0.145.2+26.1.1` or a newer compatible build
- `26.1.2`: Loader `0.19.1+` + Fabric API `0.145.4+26.1.2` or a newer compatible build
## 🆕 What's New in v1.2.3
- Added support for Minecraft `26.1.2` while keeping compatibility with `26.1` and `26.1.1`
- Better support for `MCDReforged` servers:
- Added a new `mcdr-compatibility` config section
- When enabled, MeowConsole tries to preserve the vanilla-style console output that external tools expect
- This makes it friendlier to setups that rely on console-log parsing
- Better compatibility with backup tools such as `PrimeBackup`:
- Important save-completion messages such as `Saved the game` are now preserved more carefully
- Common player join/leave log patterns are also less likely to be broken
- This reduces the chance of “better console UI, but broken backup workflow”
- Better command input experience:
- Command highlighting now follows Brigadier parsing more closely
- `Tab` completion for vanilla commands keeps more of the original tooltip/help text
- Second-level completions for MeowConsole local commands now include clearer descriptions
## ✨ What You Will Notice
- If you use `MCDReforged`:
- MeowConsole is less likely to conflict with tools that parse server console output
- Backup-related and log-driven workflows should behave more reliably
- If you type commands directly into the server console:
- It is easier to see the difference between command literals and arguments
- Completion suggestions are easier to understand at a glance
## 🧪 Important Notes (For MCDR Users)
If your server uses `MCDReforged`, `PrimeBackup`, or similar console-parsing tools:
- It is recommended to explicitly enable:
- `mcdr-compatibility.enabled: true`
- The current version includes auto-detection logic, but explicitly enabling the compatibility mode is more reliable
- If your server also uses settings such as `pause-when-empty-seconds`, that vanilla pause behavior can still affect unattended backup workflows
## 🔄 Upgrade Notes
When upgrading from `1.2.2` to `1.2.3`, please keep the following in mind:
- If you use `MCDReforged`, check whether `config/meowconsole-features.yml` now contains the new `mcdr-compatibility` section
- For the most reliable behavior with tools like `PrimeBackup`, it is recommended to set:
- `mcdr-compatibility.enabled: true`
- If you do not use `MCDReforged`, in most cases this remains a direct replacement upgrade
