🔮 Legendary Mage Changelog

🚀 v1.1.2 (2026-08-08)

🏗️ Dependencies: Simplified Mod Requirements

• Removed GeckoLib as a mandatory dependency

  • Previously, you had to install GeckoLib, Curios, and PlayerAnimator separately — even though Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks already bundles them.
  • Now these are handled automatically as transitive dependencies through Iron's Spells. You only need to install Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks — nothing else.

• Updated neoforge.mods.toml

  • Removed required dependency blocks for geckolib [4.8.3,4.9), curios, and playeranimator.
  • Only required dependencies now: NeoForge, Minecraft, and irons_spellbooks.
  • patchouli remains optional (for the in-game guidebook).
  • Description updated to reflect the simplified "Requires" list.

• Updated build.gradle

  • GeckoLib: downgraded from implementation → compileOnly + localRuntime (still available for dev builds, but not forced on players).
  • Curios & PlayerAnimator: downgraded to localRuntime only (pulled in by Iron's Spells during dev, no manual install needed).

• Cleaned up gradle.properties

  • Removed unused variables: playeranimator_version, irons_spells_version, irons_lib_version.
  • Kept geckolib_version and curios_version as they are still referenced elsewhere.

💡 What this means for players: Your mod list just got shorter. Install Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks — GeckoLib, Curios, and PlayerAnimator come with it automatically. No extra downloads, no version conflicts.

🔥Legendary Mage🔥 v1.1.1 — THE ELEMENTS REMEMBER

"The fire no longer forgets who lit it."

"The frost remembers the hand that cast it."

"And the holy mark... the holy mark no longer lives in the void."

"It lives in you."

In the old code, elemental reactions were ghosts. They happened, then vanished into static voids, leaving no trace of who summoned them, no memory of when they might strike again.

No longer.

⚔️ ElementReactionManager — Completely Rewritten

The old system: Buffs applied blindly. Reactions triggered without context. The elements were deaf and dumb.

The new system: Every flame knows its master. Every frostbite carries a signature.

🔥 "I cast a fireball. Three minutes later, my ally's fireball detonates on the same target — and the reaction triggers, because the system remembers I was there first."

🧠 ElementMarkData — The Memory of Magic

A new data structure that attaches to entities like a magical scar.

🧠 "The mark is not a debuff. It is a memory the target cannot shake."

🌐 ElementMarkSyncHandler — One Truth, Many Eyes

Client-server sync for elemental states. No more desynced particles. No more phantom marks.

What the server knows, the client sees. Instantly. Reliably. Every time.

✨ HolyMarkEffect — From Static Void to Living NBT

The Problem: Holy marks were stored in static maps. Server restart? Gone. Dimension change? Gone. They were mayflies.

The Solution: Holy marks now live in entity NBT. They persist. They travel. They survive.

✨ "The holy light no longer flickers when you turn your back. It is written into the target's soul."

🎵 "When You Look At Me" — A New Disc

A music disc has been pressed. It can be crafted. It can be played. It can be tagged.

🎵 "The jukebox now knows this disc by name. The game no longer shrugs and calls it 'unknown.'"

+ ElementReactionManager fully rewritten (stateful reactions, caster tracking)
+ ElementMarkData introduced (caster records, cooldown management)
+ ElementMarkSyncHandler added (client-server elemental sync)
+ HolyMarkEffect migrated to entity NBT (persistent, survives restarts/dimensions)
+ New music disc: "When You Look At Me" (craftable, tagged)
+ Music disc added to Minecraft item tags

- Removed static cleanup logic for HolyMarkEffect
- Eliminated static void storage for elemental marks

If you were hooking into the old static HolyMark maps, those hooks are dead. The data now lives in entity NBT under the Legendary Mage namespace. Update your integrations.
