NeoSync 1.6.1

Server operators get a new command. /neosync purge <players> [dimension] removes a player's shells completely, both their own record of them and the copies held in blocks. Any body still inside a block drops its inventory and experience where it stood. Leave the dimension off to clear every shell a player owns, and once they have none left they stop counting as artificial.

Syncing out of a body that was not sitting in a Shell Storage or Shell Constructor no longer errors on the server. The sync itself went through, but the shell list stopped updating and old entries stayed in the selector until you rejoined.

NeoSync 1.6.0

Radiation from Mekanism now belongs to the body instead of following you around. Sync into a fresh shell and you wake up clean. The body you leave behind in a shell storage keeps whatever dose it picked up, so syncing back into it gives you the radiation back rather than letting you wash it off by body hopping. Shells that come out of the constructor and bodies you respawn into from an anchor both start clean.

This only applies when Mekanism is installed. Nothing changes without it.

NeoSync 1.5.3

Shell Storage and Shell Constructor, including the Zero Point versions, no longer drop two items when you break them. Breaking the bottom half in creative no longer leaves a stray item behind either.

Breaking the bottom half of a shell container no longer leaves the top half floating. The two halves are linked again.

A sync that gets refused by another mod no longer half finishes. Before, you could end up still standing where you started with your items, a copy of that inventory sitting in the stored shell, and the shell you were syncing to gone. The sync now teleports first and only uses up the target shell once the teleport works. If it fails, your stored shell is put back and you get the usual failure message. This covers both normal syncs and ones that finish through death and respawn.

Syncing to a world that no longer exists now writes a warning to the log instead of failing with no trace.

For mod and pack authors, NeoSync can now tell you when a teleport is part of a sync, so mods that restrict dimension travel can let sync travel through instead of guessing.

NeoSync 1.5.0

You can name your shells now. Open the shell menu, right click the shell you want to name, type a name and press Enter. Escape backs out without changing anything, and clearing the box puts the coordinates back.

Every slice of the menu shows its shell's name, so a wall of storages reads as Home, Mining Base and Nether Camp instead of a wall of numbers. Hover a slice and the middle of the dial shows the full name. Shells you have not named still show where they are, exactly as before.

Names stick with the shell. They save with the storage block and travel with respawn anchors, so they survive a relog and are there for everyone on a server.

Shell blocks can now be dyed. Sneak and right click a Shell Constructor or Shell Storage, regular or Zero Point, with any dye to color its trim, so different setups are easy to tell apart at a glance. Regular blocks start plain and Zero Point blocks keep their cyan trim until you dye them. Shells built or stored in a dyed block pick up that color in the shell menu, and dyeing the block they sit in later recolors them again.

Fixed a serialization issues with shell inventories

Also fixed in this release: /neosync anchor ensure now checks the dimension it is aimed at. It used to skip creating the anchor whenever the player owned a finished shell anywhere at all, so anyone who had synced even once could never be given an anchor in a new dimension, and pack scripts built on it fell back to plain teleports. It now skips only when the player already has a finished shell in that same dimension.

NeoSync 1.4.4

Shells saved by an older build load again. A shell written before a field was added to the save format could turn players away at the door with "Invalid player data" and fail to load shell storages and constructors placed in the world. Anything an older shell was saved without now falls back to a sensible value, and the shell is written out complete the next time it saves.

NeoSync 1.4.4

Shells made before 1.4.0 load again. They were saved without the details that airship support later added, and a world carried forward from an older version would turn players away at the door with "Invalid player data" and fail to load shell storages and constructors placed in the world. Anything an older shell was saved without now falls back to a sensible value, and the shell is written out complete the next time it saves.
