## v3.1.20 - **Feature:** Added a custom "Better Dogs" category to the Game Rules screen. All mod-specific rules are now grouped under this new tab instead of the generic "Mobs" category. ## v3.1.19 - **Localization Fix:** Prepended `minecraft.` namespace to all Game Rule translation keys (e.g., `gamerule.minecraft.bd_storm_anxiety`) to match vanilla Game Rule registry behavior. This ensures Game Rules are properly named in the "Edit Game Rules" screen. ## v3.1.18 - **Fix:** Resolved startup crash caused by `IdentifierException`. - **Technical:** Renamed all Game Rule IDs to lower_snake_case (e.g., `bdStormAnxiety` -> `bd_storm_anxiety`) to comply with Minecraft 1.21+ registry standards. - **Localization:** Updated `en_us.json` to match new Game Rule keys. ## v3.1.17 (Anti-Crowding Removal) - **Removed**: The "Anti-Crowding System" (`PackSeparationGoal`) has been removed entirely. Wolves will no longer artificially push each other away, reverting to standard vanilla grouping behavior. - **Config**: Removed `packSeparationRadius`, `packSeparationInflation`, `packSeparationSpeed`, and `enablePackSeparation` from `betterdogs.json`. ## v3.1.16 (Stable Hotfix: Crash Fix) - **Fix**: Replaced `WolfMixin` targeting logic with `WolfMobMixin` to robustly intercept `setTarget` without causing transformation errors on startup. This resolves the `MixinApplyError` seen in v3.1.15. ## v3.1.15 (Broken Build - Startup Crash) - **Hotfix Attempt**: Attempted to fix startup crash but introduced a new Mixin transformation error due to target class mismatch. **DO NOT USE**. ## v3.1.14 (Better Teleportation & Dynamic Ranges) ### Added - **Dynamic Simulation Capping**: Aggressive dog follow and detection ranges now automatically scale to stay within the server's simulation distance, preventing them from being left behind in unloaded chunks. - **Improved Teleportation (The "2x" Rule)**: Optimized follow logic so dogs prefer running back to the owner. They will only teleport if they fall behind by more than twice their follow start distance. ### Changed - **Simplified Config**: Consolidated various personality-specific teleport settings into a single `teleportMultiplier` (default 2.0x). ## [3.1.13] - 2026-01-26 ### Added - **Ultraguard Sync**: Implemented a hardened persistence system with atomic writes, automatic merging, and legacy field purging. - **Auto-Backups**: Config now clones to `betterdogs.json.bak` before any version-jump migrations. - **Completed AI Migration**: Finalized the movement of all 30+ AI magic numbers to `BetterDogsConfig`. ### Changed - Updated platform descriptions (Modrinth/CurseForge) with the new Config Mastery feature suite. ## [3.1.12] - 2026-01-25 ### Added - **Personality-Scaled Teleportation**: Aggressive dogs wander deeper (5x), Pacifists stay close (0.5x). - **Emergency Restoration**: Recovered all AI implementation files and project properties after a critical data loss event. ## [3.1.11] - 2026-01-25 ### Changed - **Optimized Follow Behavior**: Dogs now try to run to the player when falling behind instead of immediately teleporting. - **Improved Teleportation**: Increased the teleport distance by 1.5x (from 12 to 18 blocks) to give dogs more time to catch up naturally. - **New Config**: Added `followCatchUpSpeed` (default: 1.5) to control how fast dogs run when they are far from the owner. ## [3.1.10] - 2026-01-25 ### Added - **New Feature: Pack Separation** - Dogs now respect each other's "personal space". - If too many dogs are crowded together, they will gently spread out to form a more natural pack layout. - Configurable radius (`packSeparationRadius`) and speed (`packSeparationSpeed`) in `betterdogs.json`. - **Developer Protocol Update**: Enforced "Zero Technical Debt" policy for mod development. ## [3.1.9] - 2026-01-25 ### Fixed - **Critical Fix: Howl State Leak**: Fixed a major bug where wolves would stay in the sitting pose permanently after a Group Howl event. They now correctly restore their previous state (sitting or standing) when the event ends. - **Maintenance**: Cleaned up code debt, removed redundant AI goals, and optimized imports across the entire AI package. ## [3.1.8] - 2026-01-25 ### Fixed - Fixed crash / build failure caused by incorrect `SoundEvents` usage for Howl event. - Fixed `SmallFightGoal` incorrectly passing `Level` instead of `ServerLevel`. - Implemented `WolfAccessor` to correctly access native wolf ambient sounds. - Native API compliance for all 26.1 Snapshot methods. - **New Feature: Individual DNA** - Every dog now has a unique "preference roll" (based on their UUID) that determines if they like specific social events. - This ensures that even two dogs with the same Personality will behave differently (e.g., one loves Zoomies, the other thinks it's undignified). ## [v3.1.7] - 2026-01-25 - **New Feature: Individual DNA** - Every dog now has a unique "preference roll" (based on their UUID) that determines if they like specific social events. - **New Feature: Zoomies** - Wolves now have a chance to get the "Zoomies" (hyperactive running) in the morning or after rain. - **New Feature: Group Howl** - Wolves may start a group howl at night. ## [v3.1.6] - 2026-01-25 - **New Feature: Play Fighting** - Large packs of aggressive wolves (>10) will now occasionally "play fight" for 10 seconds. - **Refactor**: Renamed internal event classes to `*DogEvent` for clarity. ## [3.1.5] - 2026-01-25 ### 🐞 Bug Fix - **Blood Feud Probability**: Fixed a critical math error where the Blood Feud chance was being calculated as 100% instead of the intended 5%. ### ✨ New Feature - **Configurable Retaliation**: Added `babyRetaliationChance` to `config/betterdogs.json`. (Default: 75%).
