🛠️ Chaos Cubed Content v1.10.1-SNAPSHOT

🔄 What's New & Fixed

Sulfur Cube Physics & Behavior

• [MAJOR] Overhauled Movement Physics: Completely rebuilt how the Sulfur Cube moves and reacts to the world around it. It now handles collisions perfectly without getting stuck in walls, floating when it shouldn't, or glitching out during tight jumps.
• Smart Environment Reactions: The Sulfur Cube's motion logic is now perfectly synced with its surroundings. Landing on specific blocks will now properly trigger things like Sculk Sensors exactly when and where it's supposed to.
• Fully Working Archetype: The complete design and gameplay identity for the Sulfur Cube is now fully functional, stable, and ready to go!

📝 Note: The major SulfurCave refactor and world generation features will be arriving in the next update!

🚀 Chaos Cubed Content v1.0-SNAPSHOT

✨ Added

• 💥 Sulfur Spikes: Added a new block type that deals spike damage, fitting the mod's environmental theme.
• 🎨 Dynamic Block Textures: The Sulfur Cube now dynamically pulls block textures directly from the game itself. No manual textures are needed in the mod files anymore.
• 📂 Data-Driven Archetypes: All archetypes are now handled entirely via *.json files. Players can create a datapack using a vanilla-style structure to customize modifiers, add custom blocks (like stairs, slabs, or modded blocks), or change eatable tags. The basic template is available in the Chaos Cubed Content Repository.
• 🪣 Sulfur Cube Bucket: Added the ability to pick up a Sulfur Cube with a bucket. Includes complete NBT serialization and deserialization to perfectly retain size, health, variants, and attributes when deployed.

🔄 Changed & Overhauled

• 👾 Rewritten Sulfur Cube Entity: Cleaned and optimized the core entity codebase for 1.21.11. Combined vanilla equipment checks with custom parameterized logic loops (detectEquipmentUpdates) and restored proper field tracking for local knockback equations (dealDefaultKnockback).
• 📦 Overhauled Renderer: Rewrote the rendering pipeline to ensure accurate rendering of all sizes, states, and variants without visual errors.

⚠️ Work-In-Progress (WIP)

• 🧱 Partial Physics Implementation: Core movement loops are functional, but signature entity bouncing parameters are currently offline.
• 🧊 Archetype Interaction Modifiers: Custom surface interactions (such as sliding flawlessly on ice or landing heavily without bouncing on metal blocks) are temporarily disabled and defaulting to base values while physics integrations are being completed.

🗺️ Planned for Next Update

• 🕳️ World Generation (Sulfur Caves): Natural underground generation for dedicated cave structures containing wild Sulfur Cubes and Sulfur Spikes.
• 🪐 Physics Engine Completion: Finalizing the travel() loop injection points to restore accurate bouncing, sliding, and surface friction calculations.

Chaos Cubed Content 1.9.1-SNAPSHOT

Added support UPnP, Direct connections

Chaos Cubed Content v1.9-SNAPSHOT

This major snapshot shifts our networking paradigm to drastically improve performance and player security.

🚀 New Features

• Full Client-Side Friends List: Overhauled the friends layout to be entirely client-side. Game servers are no longer required to process your social interactions!
• Easy Local & Direct Hosting: Added native support for hosting worlds directly over your home network or via direct internet connections through our memory-only WebSocket network relay.
• Smart Skin Storage System: Player skins are now securely cached directly in our backend infrastructure.
  • Fallback Handling: If a skin cannot be found in the backend, the client gracefully falls back to the Mojang API.

⚙️ Changes & Backend Upgrades

• Backend API Upgrade: Completely updated our custom backend API architecture to handle faster data syncs.
• 🔒 Severe Security Patch: Successfully patched a critical vulnerability that previously risked leaking player IP addresses. Your data is now fully anonymized through our socket system.

⚠️ Current Limitations

• Invite Only: The "Join World" feature is currently restricted. Players cannot request to join manually yet; you can only connect if you have been explicitly Invited by the host.
• Connection Constraints: Direct joining is currently limited to players on the same local home network or those using direct internet connection setups.

Chaos Cubed v1.8.11

Chaos Cubed Content v1.8.10-SNAPSHOT

🚀 New Features

• Added Ability to reject / cancel Requests

⚙️ Changes

• Reformated the Friends List to now show Full Presense plus the Face if available (Note: Skins are currently fetched from Mojang API if the player name doesn't exist it may show just a Gray Square)
• Fixed Minor Bugs

Chaos Cubed Content v1.8.8-SNAPSHOT

This is a SNAPSHOT build showcasing the implementation of highly requested visual upgrades, menu animations, and UI polish following our previous Alpha iterations.

🚀 New Features

🎨 Complete UI Polish & Animations

• No More Text Placeholders: Replaced the generic literal text placeholders (✔) with our high-quality custom GUI textures (accept.png).
• Interactive Button Highlights: Added responsive hover transitions. When you hover your mouse over the accept button, it smoothly swaps to a highlighted version (accept_highlighted.png).
• Menu Animations: The entire friends layout now features fluid entrance and scaling animations for a much more responsive, polished feel.

🔔 Real-Time Popups (Toast Notifications)

• Instant Feedback: Added functional Toast Notifications! You will now see clean popups on your screen whenever actions succeed or network errors occur.
• Detailed Error Logging: If a network handshake fails, the client now throws a detailed log entry alongside a toast notification detailing exactly what went wrong.

⚙️ Menu Preferences

• Privacy Controls: Added a brand new functional toggle under the game menus! Navigate to Options ➔ Online ➔ Allow Requests to customize who can send you incoming friend requests.

🌍 Game Customization & 26.2 Panorama

• Fresh Background Scene: The main menu background panorama has been updated to feature a custom 6-sided cubic view highlighting elements from the new 26.2 game drop version framework.
• Global Custom Title String: Overhauled the game identification strings. Your Main Menu title screen corner, F3 debug layout, and system window header will now dynamically display our custom version signature.
