📋 What's New

🎯 Why This Matters

Ever tried editing a massive entity blacklist or a long list of Boss exclusions in a tiny 320px-wide box? Painful.

Now those fields show a preview button (first 16 chars) that opens a full-screen modal with:

• 🖊️ A wide, adaptive text box (up to 640px)
• 🔢 Live character count badge
• ✨ Smooth fade-in animation
• 🟠 Clean, dark-themed UI matching the main config screen

🔄 Affected Config Fields

⚠️ Heads Up

No breaking changes. Your existing config files will work exactly as before.

The only difference is how you edit them — and it's a lot nicer now.

🌟 Anadaptive Nemesis – Update 1.0.9

“The Smooth Operator” Release

We cleaned up the guts of the mod so you can enjoy a smoother, fairer, and more responsive experience – without even noticing the work behind the scenes.

🎯 TL;DR – What’s New for You?

• ⚡ Game feels faster – less lag, especially on busy servers or when lots of mobs are around.
• 🎯 Boss fights are more consistent – bosses are now properly recognised, so their special damage caps work every time.
• 🛡️ True damage (armour‑bypassing damage) is now smarter – high‑armour players won’t get unfairly one‑shot.
• 📈 Difficulty scaling is smoother – no more random difficulty spikes that feel like cheating.
• 🔧 Configuration is easier for pack makers – but for you, it just means fewer bugs and faster updates.
• 🐛 Lots of bugs squashed – including some that could crash your game or break boss fights.

🚀 Performance – Your TPS Just Got a Raise

We made the mod much more efficient under the hood. Here’s what you’ll actually feel:

• Boss checks are now cached – so the game doesn’t waste time re‑checking if something is a boss every single hit. Result: smoother combat.
• Player tracking is smarter – the mod only looks at nearby players when scaling enemies, instead of scanning the whole server. Multiplayer servers will thank you.
• Item and enchantment lookups are pre‑computed – so when a mob spawns, the game already knows what gear to give it. Faster spawns, less stutter.

In numbers: we saw up to 99% faster in some internal operations – which translates to noticeably less lag in big battles or crowded worlds.

🐛 Major Bug Fixes – The Ones That Mattered

⚙️ Behind the Scenes – What Pack Makers Should Know

If you’re a modpack creator or a tinkerer:

• The configuration file has been split into smaller, logical sections – much easier to find and tweak settings.
• All old config options still work (we kept compatibility), but you’ll see new categories if you regenerate the config.
• Debug logging is improved – if something goes wrong, the logs will tell you exactly what and where.

📊 Performance Gains – By the Numbers (if you like numbers)

All of this means less CPU usage and more TPS for your world.

The issue of the server not being able to start has been resolved

⚔️ Adaptive Nemesis v1.0.7 ⚔️

📋 TL;DR

🐕 Watchdog Service (New)

File: WatchdogService.java (New)

Monitors server main thread for deadlocks, auto-detects and outputs thread dumps.

Two-Level Detection:

• ⚠️ Warning (30s): Logs current entity being processed
• 🚨 Critical (60s): Outputs full thread dump, marks problematic entity

Problem Entity Tracking: Adds frozen entities to problematicEntities set; EnemyScalingHandler skips these to prevent repeated deadlocks.

🔧 Chunk Loading Deadlock Fix

Affected Files:

• EnemyScalingHandler.java
• EnchantmentScalingHandler.java

Root Cause: AABB + getEntitiesOfClass() in EntityJoinLevelEvent / FinalizeSpawnEvent triggers chunk loading within range, deadlocking with ongoing world generation (especially with Cataclysm and similar structure mods).

Solution:

// ❌ Old code (triggers chunk loading)
AABB searchBox = new AABB(...);
List<<ServerPlayer> nearbyPlayers = serverLevel.getEntitiesOfClass(ServerPlayer.class, searchBox);

// ✅ New code (safe iteration, no chunk loading)
double rangeSq = range * range;
List<<ServerPlayer> nearbyPlayers = new ArrayList<>();
for (ServerPlayer player : serverLevel.getServer().getPlayerList().getPlayers()) {
    if (player.level() == serverLevel && player.distanceToSqr(mob) <= rangeSq) {
        nearbyPlayers.add(player);
    }
}

New Defenses:

• SCALE_TIMEOUT_TAG — Auto-marks entity as problematic if scaling exceeds 30 seconds
• Try-catch in onEntityJoinLevel() — Prevents third-party mod exceptions from crashing server
• Watchdog integration — Updates status before/after entity processing

⚔️ Dynamic Weapon Damage Cap

Affected Files:

• Config.java
• EnchantmentScalingHandler.java

New Configs:

Formula:

Dynamic Cap = Base + (Difficulty Multiplier - 1.0) × Per-Difficulty Increment
Final Cap = min(Dynamic Cap, Absolute Cap)

Weapon Filtering Logic:

1. Iterate weapons from current quality tier downward
2. Calculate actual damage via getWeaponDamage() (includes attribute modifiers)
3. Only select weapons within damage cap
4. If all weapons exceed cap, fallback to wooden sword

Mod Weapon Filtering: Main-hand weapons in tryGetModEquipment() are checked against damage cap; overpowered weapons are filtered with debug logging.

💀 Boss Anti-HP-Explosion

Affected File: BossDamageCapHandler.java

Problem Scenario: EntityJoinLevelEvent may trigger multiple times:

• Player teleports away, chunk unloads, returns and chunk reloads
• Player switches dimensions, entity reloads
• Server restarts, entity loads from disk

Without checks, Boss health multiplies by BOSS_HEALTH_MULTIPLIER on each reload, causing exponential explosion.

Solution:

Attribute Calculation:

Final Health = Original Health × EnemyScaling Multiplier × Boss Multiplier
Final Damage = Original Damage × EnemyScaling Multiplier × Boss Multiplier

This ensures correct stacking regardless of EnemyScalingHandler and BossDamageCapHandler execution order.

🎯 Other Optimizations

EnchantmentScalingHandler.java:

• Optimized humanoid mob detection using precise entity ID matching instead of string containment
• New supported mob types: Bogged, Piglin, Piglin Brute, etc.

ModEventHandler.java:

• Updates watchdog tick timestamp in ServerTickEvent.Post
• Stops watchdog service in onServerStopping
• Injects watchdog status before/after Boss processing

AdaptiveNemesisMod.java:

• Starts watchdog service after config loading completes

gradle.properties:

• Version bumped from 1.0.6 to 1.0.7
