Adaptive Nemesis Changelog ⚔️🐉

v1.0.15 (2026-08-09)

🧙 Fixed: Iron's Spells spell resist / power scaling going haywire (non-Nemesis mobs were getting buffed too)

• Issue: Every single mob in the world was getting spell resistance and spell power boosts — not just your personal Nemesis. This meant mages with multi-hit, low-cooldown, or summon-heavy builds saw their damage get chipped away mob-by-mob, even against random trash. Not fun. 😤
• Fix — IronsSpellsCompat.java:
  • maxSpellPowerMultiplier and maxSpellResistMultiplier were dead configs — the code never actually read them. Now applyMobBuffs properly clamps spell strength / casting resource multipliers to maxSpellPowerMultiplier (default 4.0) and spell resist multipliers to maxSpellResistMultiplier (default 3.0). Tweak [enemyBonusCaps] in adaptive_nemesis-common.toml and it actually does something! 🎛️
  • Added Nemesis-only check in applyMobBuffs — spell resist / power / mana bonuses now only apply to mobs carrying the Nemesis NBT tag (NemesisSystem.NEMESIS_TAG). Regular mobs are left alone. Your fireball barrage can finally breathe against hordes. 🔥
• New tag system — NemesisSystem.java:
  • New constant NEMESIS_TAG. convertToNemesis / convertToNemesisManual now stamp mobs with this tag on transformation.
• Command fix — SummonNemesisCommand.java:
  • /an nemesis spawned Nemeses also get the tag now. Consistency! 🏷️
• Registration order fix — AdaptiveNemesisMod.java:
  • Nemesis spawn system (NemesisSystem) now registers before the enemy scaling handler. This guarantees that when EntityJoinLevelEvent fires, the Nemesis conversion (tag stamping) happens before adaptive scaling kicks in. Previously it was registered in commonSetup — after EnemyScalingHandler — so Nemeses got treated as regular mobs and missed their spell bonuses. Order matters! ⏳
• Smarter player assessment — IronsSpellsCompat.java:
  • getPlayerSpellStrength now uses max mana (AttributeRegistry.MAX_MANA) instead of current mana to evaluate player spell power. No more random power dips because you just cast a big spell and your mana bar dropped — scaling stays stable. 📊

v1.0.15 (2026-08-09)

🖥️ Fixed: Config screen scroll animation stuttering & text flickering

• Issue: Scrolling through the config menu felt like a slideshow — text jittered at ~20fps and flickered badly on lower-end setups.
• Fix — AdaptiveNemesisConfigScreen.java:
  • Replaced janky tick-by-tick scroll jumps with proper Mth.lerp(partialTick, lastScroll, currentScroll) interpolation. Smooth 60fps buttery scrolling. 🧈
  • tick() now records last-tick scroll position and snaps to target when close, killing animation tail wobble.
  • Cached translated Component objects for all 130+ config entries — no more creating translation objects every single frame. Less CPU burn, more frames. ⚡
  • Scrollbar thumb position now syncs to the interpolated scroll value instead of raw tick position. The whole scroll experience just flows now. 🌊

May your Nemesis fear your spells — and your config screen scroll smoothly. 🏆✨

Community feedback: Add a feature to disable certain parts and a blacklist for weapon equipment, which can be modified in the configuration interface

Fix issue: InvasionCommand directly passes the custom object InvasionType to Component.translatable(...), resulting in serialization failure when the client receives the system_chat data packet, disconnection, and return to the title screen

A small patch has been released to fix the issue with the /an invasion command in version 1.0.12

🌐 [Adaptive Nemesis] v1.0.12 🌐

THE WORLD SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE NOW.

And it has a lot more to say.

✨ NEW SYSTEMS & ENHANCEMENTS

🌐 FULL INTERNATIONALIZATION (I18N) REFACTOR

New Translation Keys (10+ added):

🌍 "I switched my client to English. The invasion warned me in English. The Nemesis cursed me in English. It felt personal."

👹 NEMESIS SYSTEM — CRASH-PROOF & SMARTER

The Problem: Some modded mobs don't have attack damage. Nemesis tried to buff it. Game crashed. Everyone sad.

The Solution: Check first. Buff second. Live to fight another day.

What Gets Checked Now:

• ❤️ Max Health — exists? buff it. missing? skip gracefully.
• ⚔️ Attack Damage — exists? buff it. missing? skip gracefully.
• 🛡️ Armor — exists? buff it. missing? skip gracefully.
• ⚡ Movement Speed — exists? buff it. missing? skip gracefully.

🛡️ "My modded flamingo no longer crashes the game when it tries to become a Berserk Butcher. It just stays a flamingo. Thank you."

🏰 INVASION SYSTEM — DATAPACK SUPERPOWERS

Before: JSON defined waves and rewards. That was it.

Now: JSON defines EVERYTHING. The mob. The effects. The name. The frost under their feet.

Frost Walker Implementation:

• Auto-equips iron_boots with frost_walker enchantment
• Drop chance: 0.0F — you don't get free boots, sorry

❄️ "The skeletons walked across the lake. The lake froze. I did not walk across the lake."

🔗 KUBEJS API — MORE EVENTS, MORE CONTROL

New Events Added:

KubeJS Script Examples:

// Double the waves when world reaches stage 3
onEvent('adaptive_nemesis.invasion.start', event => {
    if (WorldStageManager.getStage() >= 3) {
        event.totalWaves *= 2;
        event.difficultyMultiplier *= 1.5;
    }
});

// Bonus rewards on victory
onEvent('adaptive_nemesis.invasion.end', event => {
    if (event.victory && event.wavesCompleted >= 6) {
        event.player.give('minecraft:diamond', 5);
    }
});

+ 🌐 FULL I18N REFACTOR (All strings → translation keys)
+ 🌍 en_us.json + zh_cn.json (Add your own language!)
+ 👹 NEMESIS_REQUIRE_ATTACK_DAMAGE config (Skip pacifist mobs)
+ 🛡️ Null-safe attribute checks (No more crashes on weird entities)
+ 🏰 Datapack: effects, glowing, frostWalker, customNameKey
+ 🏰 Datapack: healthMultiplier, damageMultiplier, equipmentLootTable
+ 🔗 KubeJS: World Stage Change event
+ 🔗 KubeJS: Invasion Start / Wave Start / End events
+ 🔗 KubeJS: InvasionStartResult (modify waves & difficulty)

- 🗑️ Hardcoded Chinese text (RIP, you served well)
- 🐛 Nemesis crash on attribute-less mobs
- 🐛 Frost walker boots dropping from invasion mobs

! ⚠️ NEMESIS_REQUIRE_ATTACK_DAMAGE defaults to true
!   (May skip some mobs that previously became Nemesis)
! ⚠️ Custom datapack invasions need updated JSON schema

💡 Heads up: Don't like the attack damage check? Flip NEMESIS_REQUIRE_ATTACK_DAMAGE to false. Want your flamingo to become a god? Your call.

Want to write a datapack invasion where every mob is glowing, frost-walking, and named "Dave"? The JSON supports it. We won't judge.

⚔️ [Adaptive Nemesis] v1.0.11 ⚔️

THE WORLD ADAPTS TO YOU.

Are you ready to adapt back?

The undead no longer wander aimlessly.

They are gathering. They are watching. They are adapting.

Among the common mobs, souls of legend stir — waiting for the worthy.

And when the storm comes... it won't be random.

It will be personal.

🏰 INVASION EVENT SYSTEM

What You Get:

• 🌊 1-6 Waves of enemies from North, South, East, West
• ⛈️ Thunderstorm weather when active — the sky itself joins the fight
• 🏆 Victory broadcast to all warriors in the area — you earned the bragging rights

💀 "They came from all directions. The ground shook. And then... silence."

👹 NEMESIS SPAWN SYSTEM

The Nemesis Rises With:

• ❤️ Boosted HP — they don't go down easy
• ⚔️ Boosted ATK — they hit like a truck
• 🛡️ Boosted Armor — your iron sword weeps
• ⚡ Boosted Speed — you can't outrun destiny
• 🚫 Knockback Resistance — they don't flinch

Titles by Archetype:

🔥 "I thought it was just a zombie. Then I saw the name: Berserk Butcher — in blood red. I ran."

🏷️ BOSS IDENTIFICATION — COMPLETELY REWORKED

The Problem: Your average zombie gets buffed by another mod. Suddenly it's treated like the Ender Dragon. Not cool.

The Solution: A 4-Tier Priority Chain that actually thinks.

✅ Ender Dragon, Wither, Warden — always recognized.

❌ Buffed zombie with 500 HP — no longer a "boss". Just a very angry zombie.

⚔️ INVASION EQUIPMENT — DYNAMIC DIFFICULTY

Old System: Wave 1 = leather. Wave 6 = diamond. Boring. Predictable. Broken.

New System: The enemy scales to the players nearby. You bring endgame gear? They bring endgame pain.

The Formula:

Nearby Player Avg Strength × Difficulty Multiplier × World Stage = FINAL GEAR POWER

⚡ "I showed up in full Netherite. The skeletons showed up in enchanted Netherite. Fair's fair."

🕐 IDLE DECAY

AFK at your mob farm? The world forgets you were scary.

• Inactive? Your difficulty multiplier decays automatically
• No more gaming the system while you sleep

⚡ COMBAT EFFICIENCY ADJUSTMENT

Glass cannon builds can't inflate difficulty forever.

• High damage + low taken damage? The system sees through it.
• Efficiency below threshold = difficulty reels back in

🧠 "The system learned to read your TRUE skill. Not just your DPS."

+ 🏰 INVASION EVENT SYSTEM (Natural / Command / KubeJS / Datapack)
+ 👹 NEMESIS SPAWN SYSTEM (1% chance / Titles / Stat boosts)
+ 🏷️ TAG-BASED BOSS IDENTIFICATION (No more false bosses)
+ ⚔️ DYNAMIC DIFFICULTY EQUIPMENT (Scales to nearby players)
+ 🕐 IDLE DECAY (Anti-AFK cheese)
+ ⚡ COMBAT EFFICIENCY ADJUSTMENT (Anti-glass-cannon inflation)
+ 🎒 EQUIPMENT DROP DISABLE CONFIG

- 🗑️ OLD WAVE-BASED ARMOR SYSTEM (RIP boring linear scaling)
- 🐛 BOSS MISIDENTIFICATION OF BUFFED NORMAL MOBS

! ⚠️ Invasion difficulty fluctuates with nearby player strength
! ⚠️ Nemesis 1% spawn rate may feel frequent in large mob farms

💡 Heads up: Every new system — Invasions, Nemesis, Dynamic Difficulty — can be toggled individually in the config.

Want invasions but no nemesis? Done.

Want nemesis but static difficulty? Done.

Want chaos? Turn everything to 11. We won't judge.

📋 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.
