Fetchr 5.1.4 Beta 1

5.1.4 will be a feature-wise small release which updates the game to 1.21 with

Technical Changess

• Overhauled item registration card generation and item detecion with new
  Minecraft Features in Mind such as Macros

Item Registration

Item registration has been overhauled and existing forks that change the item
pool will need to update to the new system.

• textComponent has been removed
• clearCommand has been removed
• detectCommand has been removed
• icon is no longer a text component and instead the 4 digit hex code of the
  unicode character representing the item on the HUD bingo card
• icon_font specifies a own custom font to use for this item. Can be used to
  avoid conflicts in the vanilla fetchr font files when maintaining forks
  • actionbar A list of 5 font definitions to use for the card displayed in
    the actionbar. Each definition is for a different row on the Bingo card
    and needs to have the corresponding ascend value set. Reference the vanilla
    Fetchr assets.
• translation New property for the translation key of the item
• item_tests Optional. Can be used for custom item tests.
  • type see blow
  • Type specific fields (see below)

Item Tests

Item tests can be used to further specify an item or override default behavior.
By default, any item in the item field will match, including any defined
components.

If item_tests is specified the components of the item definition will be
ignored for testing purposes and only be used to construct a display item
for the item frame card or the category chests.

• fetchr:component
  A component the item must have exactly like specified.
  • id The data component id
  • component The component value
• fetchr:negated_component
  A component the item must not have
  • id The data compontent id
• fetchr:predicate
  An item sub predicate that must succeed for the item
  • id The item sub predicate type
  • predicate The predicate data

At runtime, this will be parsed together with the item id into a command item
argument.

For example this definition would leather boots with a blue shaper trim which is
not shown in the tooltup and a custom lore text whenever it is displayed, and
any leather boots that have any kind of blue trim would match:

{
	item: {
		id: "minecraft:leather_boots",
		components: {
			"minecraft:trim": {
				pattern: "minecraft:shaper",
				material: "minecraft:lapis",
				show_in_tooltip: false
			},
			"minecraft:lore": [
				'{"translate": "item.minecraft.smithing_template.upgrade", "color": "gray", "italic": false}',
				'[" ", {"translate": "fetchr.item.description.any_trim", "color": "#406d95", "italic": false}]',
				'[" ", {"translate": "trim_material.minecraft.lapis", "color": "#406d95", "italic": false}]'
			]
		}
	},
	item_tests: [
		{
			type: "fetchr:predicate",
			id: "minecraft:trim",
			predicate: {material: "minecraft:lapis" }
		}
	]
}

When testing the item id together with the specified item tests would check for
minecraft:leather_boots["minecraft:trim"~{material:"minecraft:lapis"}]

Item Detection & Performance

The machinery room is obsolete now and has been removed. Item detection has
been fully implemented using macros and no longer needs any command blocks.

This should improve the performance quite significantly, as running command
blocks every tick was quite expensive.

Item detection now only runs for a player who had a change to their inventory
and does not have any active checks that run every tick anymore.

Command blocks are also more expensive because they parse their command
everytime they are executed anew while functions are pre-parsed. Macro lines
still may need to be parsed more often, but because of macro caching, they will
only need to be re-parsed when a new card with different items is generated.
The cache only caches up to 8 unique combinations of arguments per function file
which means some functions have been duplicated to take advantage of the cache
for 25 items. There will still be a small performance overhead for cache lookup.

Card Generation

Card generation also could be simplified using macros. Furthermore, there is no
custom random number generator in place anymore, and instead the built-in
random command is used.

Bug Fix

• Fixed Green Dye having the wrong internal id of fetchr:lime_dye (#236)

Fetchr 5.1.3 1.21 compatability

This release is just for 1.21 if you need compatibility. There are no other changes to the 1.20 version.

Fetchr 5.1.3

5.1.3 fixes a critical overlooked bug in 5.1.2 causing a game to not start properly in 1.20.5 when standing close to the big skybox card when starting the game

Changelog

• Fixed players keeping no gravity when standing close to the skybox card when starting the game, preventing them from falling and the countdown from starting
• Fixed /trigger fetchr.lobby being disfunctional during the game initialization phase
• Improved overlay generation to give the game a unique file override per Minecraft version

Fetchr 5.1.2

This release brings some quality of life improvements, bugfixes, and 1.20.5 support

Changelog

• Added support for 1.20.5
• Added points scoreboard on the right (1.20.3+ only)
• Added points race goal
• Added option to join as spectator during game

• Added an error message when running on Spigot or Paper

Points scoreboard

During the game, the points of each team are now shown on the right

The own team shows up in bold.

This feature is only available from Minecraft versions 1.20.3 and onward and is disabled in earlier 1.20 versions.

Points Race

The points race is a new mode, where you set a certain cut-off time and when that time is over, the team(s) with the highest score win. It can be a nice balance when you don't like going for all items in a potentially very long run, but also consider a Bingo too fast.

This also helps for keeping track of the 25 minute challenge in weekly seeds.

Fetchr 5.1.1

This release reverts an accidental change in the release causing the red team to always be registered.

Fetchr 5.1

Changelog

• Updated to 1.20
• Added Blind Mode
• Added Lockout Mode
• Added timer options
• Added terrain preview and extended skybox to give the player a spawn preview as soon as possible
• Updated lobby tutorial
• Added separate multiplayer settings room

• Quality of life changes
• Added new translations
• Added separate build for Minecraft Realms
• Technical changes

Blind Mode

In blind mode, you cannot see the items on the card until any team obtained the item.

When active, the Bingo card looks blank initially.

Knowing which items are mutually exclusive will help when playing this mode (see category chests)

When playing blind mode, you can give up by revealing the card (and continue getting what you missed if you want to)

Lockout Mode

In lockout mode, each item can only be unlocked by one team, locking out all other teams from obtaining the same item.

This also comes with a special goal which is announced when a team has obtained more items than any other team still can at that point. It is possible for multiple teams to have the same amount of items with no item still being available, in which case all teams which share that item amount are announced as winners.

In this mode, the Bingo card will highlight the entire square in the team color just like with a single team.

Lockout mode is not available in single player.

Timer

The timer will now pause when you pause the game. There is a setting to count paused time again enables the same behavior as previous versions.

Additionally, an option for using in-game time has been added. The default is still real time as before.

When using in game time, the counted time progresses as the in-game day progresses. This means, a Minecraft day is always assumed to last exactly 20 minutes, regardless of lag.

In a competitive scenario, players who experience lag may be at a disadvantage, as it takes longer for night time to arrive, or furnaces to smelt, and exploring might also be harder if chunks don't load properly.

When using in game time, players who experience lag might be at an advantage however, when they stay in a small area, as they can run through caves quicker with less time being counted.

Skybox

As soon as the game is ready, you will see a preview of the spawn point now. On multiplayer servers only the player who generated the card automatically joins, other players need to join.
Only players who have joined will participate.

Joining

For manually joining, the sign which was previously used for starting the game has been swapped for a "join game" sign.

When joining, players are now assigned a random team, printing a message when joining.

The relative position from the lobby compared to the big lobby card is kept.

Items marked on the lobby card by left and right click are copied to the skybox when a player enters the skybox while no other player is there yet.

Rejecting a Card / Spawnpoint

The skybox contains a "Generate Random Card" sign to reject the card and get a new seed, just like when generating from the lobby. When this is done, the old skybox is encased in black blocks until the new spawnpoint is ready, and players are teleported over.

Worldgen Changes

Worldgen has been updated for 1.20 and is based on the vanilla biome layout now.

Biome layout

In contrast to version 5.0, it is now possible to use the vanilla biome layout. This means, that biomes are placed exactly like in normal Minecraft, only their size has been reduced.
The width of beaches has been slightly increased compared to what it usually would be with tiny biomes.

Structures

Mineshafts are now included in worldgen again.

All structures generate with higher frequency compared to vanilla now, and dungeons generate less commonly compared to 5.0, with the same frequency increase as other structures.

Item Changes

Removed items

• Saddle
• Nametag

Lush cave

• Spore Blossom
• Flowering Azalea
• Moss Carpet
• Rooted Dirt
• Hanging roots
• Glow Berries
• Axolotl Bucket
• Big Dripleaf

Lush caves can be found either by finding an azalea tree, or in general in the center of a bigger moist biome (i.e. taiga, dark forest, (non-sparse) jungle; or less-commonly windswept forest or wooded badlands)

Dripstone cave

• Pointed Dripstone
• Dripstone Block

Dripstone caves can be found very in-land (far away from oceans), i.e. in the center of a land mass

Copper

• Raw Copper Block
• Copper Block
• Exposed Cut Copper
• Brush

Exposed copper needs to be placed for some time to change its state. In case it oxidizes too much, it can be turned back by one state at a time using an axe.

It is beneficial to place more blocks at once with a distance of at least 4 blocks taxicap. With a stonecutter, you get 4 cut copper blocks per 9 copper ingots.

Deepslate

• Deepslate
• Cracked Deepslate Bricks
• Deepslate Tile Wall
• Tuff

Deepslate can be found below around y 0. Mining deeplsate gives cobbled deepslate, cooking it in a furnace gives the normal deeplsate block.

Tuff can be found as blobs in the deepslate layer.

Mud

• Packed Mud
• Muddy Mangrove Roots
• Mud Bricks

Mud can be found in mangrove biomes, or gotten from regular dirt using a water bottle. Packing requires a single wheat (so the bricks require 4 wheat total). The muddy roots can only be found in a mangrove swanp directly.

Amethyst items

• Amethyst Shard
• Spyglass
• Amethyst Block
• Calcite

Amethyst needs a geode to be found. Geodes are generated with higher frequency, like structures. It is usually easier to find them in the ocean, especially when there is an aquifier.

Calcite can also be found in stoney peaks.

Glow ink

• Glow ink sac
• Glow item frame (also mutually exclusive with regular item frame)

Glow ink can be gotten from glow squids who spawn in dark water basins. The glow item frame is also mutually exclusive with other leather-related items

Cherry items

• Cherry Chest Boat
• Pink Petals
• Cherry Sapling

Cherry Blossom is a new mountain biome. These items can be found there.

Additions to existing categories

• Raw Gold Block (mutually exclusive with other gold items; and magma block)
• Raw Iron Block (mutually exclusive with basic iron items (iron block, cauldron, stonecutter and acacia hanging sign))
• Mangrove Propagule (mutually exclusive with other saplings)
• Glow Lichen (mutually exclusive with other shearables like fern, dead bush, ...)
• Blue Trimmed Leather Boots (mutually exclusive with heart of the sea and emerald)
• Hanging Acacia Sign (mutually exclusive with basic iron items (raw iron block, iron block, cauldron, stonecutter))
• Dried Kelp (mutually exclusive with dried kelp block)

Item Changes

• Enchanted book is now mutually exclusive with diamond items
• Stonecutter and dried kelp block are now no longer mutually exclusive
• Stonecutter is now mutually exclusive with other "basic iron" items (Acacia Hanging Sign, Raw Iron Block, Iron Block, Cauldron)
• Added new kelp category with dried kelp and dried kelp block
• Piston and sticky piston are no longer mutually exclusive with redstone block and repeater
• Renamed "Common Burried Treasure Loot" to "Shipwreck Loot"

Lobby Changes

• Removed team selection in favor of the team selection in the skybox.
• Players have no longer a team in the lobby by default.
• The lobby has now a special area for some multiplayer settings that is only accessible in multiplayer.
• The mocked skybox has now been updated to a miniature version of the new skybox with some miniature terrain

Multiplayer Controls

The multiplayer "strict mode" sign was split into "operator-only" and "lobby gamemode" controls for more intuitiveness. In oprator-only, only operators will be able to interact with game controls like starting a game, revealing a card in blind mode, etc. The lobby gamemode controls whether players are in adventure or survival mode.

New options for disallowing spectator mode and hiding the seed from all players until the end of the game have been added. This does not affect the existing preference setting to hide the seed until the end of the game. This can prevent some forms of cheating if you do not trust your players. The default is still spectator mode enabled and seed shown.

There is also a success message being printed now for players successfully confirming their operator status. In case the confirmation fails, just the standard M...
