# Changes Summary ## TPS-Independent Animation Improvements ### Datapack Animation Optimization **Problem:** Item display animations were choppy during TPS lag (tied to game ticks). **Solution:** Optimized interpolation timing to mask TPS fluctuations: - Increased interpolation duration: **10 ticks → 30 ticks** - Reduced update frequency: **every 10 ticks → every 20 ticks** - Simplified keyframes: **12 keyframes → 6 keyframes** with longer transitions - Each keyframe explicitly sets `interpolation_duration:30` This is only remediation; there are limitations due to this being a datapack at its core and how animations work in Minecraft. Look at it as a visual TPS indicator 😹 **Files Modified:** - `totem/initialize.mcfunction` - Entity spawn with 30-tick interpolation - `totem/animate_item_display.mcfunction` - Update frequency changed - `totem/animate_item_step.mcfunction` - Fewer keyframes, longer interpolation **Result:** Animations remain smooth even during TPS drops by leveraging Minecraft's built-in client-side interpolation buffer. --- ## Totem Progression System ### Recipe Unlocking **Problem:** Recipes had no advancement requirements - players could craft any tier immediately. **Solution:** Added progression checks via `confiscate_*` functions (already implemented): - Players attempting to craft locked totems have items confiscated - Materials returned via `give` commands - Error messages display progression requirements **Implementation:** The `check_illegal_totem.mcfunction` runs every tick checking player inventories. ### Advancement Support for Short Totems **Problem:** Advancements only checked for tall totems (missing `totem_short: 1` NBT). **Solution:** NBT matching is "contains" not "exact match" - short totems naturally trigger since they have `totem_tier` field. **Result:** Both tall AND short variants progress the advancement tree (already worked, confirmed via testing). ### Material Drops on Break **Problem:** Breaking totems only dropped the totem item itself. **Solution:** Updated all 12 drop functions to return the corresponding totem recipe item (no material duplication). **Files Modified:** - All `totem/drop/tier*.mcfunction` files (1-6, tall + short) **Result:** Breaking totems returns the totem recipe items for reuse/relocation (no resource duping). --- ## Summary - ✅ **Animations:** 3x smoother during TPS lag via interpolation buffering - ✅ **Progression:** Working via confiscate system (runs every tick) - ✅ **Advancements:** Support both tall and short totem variants - ✅ **Drop System:** Returns totem recipe items without duplication **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/Underwood-Inc/rituals/compare/1.1.1...1.3.0
