Red Core Version 0.5 Changelog - 2023-11-17

Highlight

Welcome to Red Core 0.5 an originally breaking release, but now it has a compatibility layer, all mods using it should update before 0.8 when the compatibility layer will be removed.

Note: The compatibility layer is only for the MC (Minecraft) part of Red Core as normally it should only have been used there prior to 0.5

The separation

Red Core and its Minecraft parts have been separated into two, this allows for greater freedom in how we develop Red Core, but also allows for Red Core to be used in any Java project. Thanks to this separation, Red Core MC is now available for 1.7.10 through 1.12.2 meaning every version in between is compatible.

New GroupId

The old groupId was bad, and I did not own it, now both of these things are fixed by the brand new dev.redstudio which is more readable and sounds better, also I actually own it.

Re-Branding!

Say welcome to the new Red Core branding! The Readme is also getting a makeover.

Added

• Added an Experimental annotation
• Added a new experimental vector suite, this is supposed to replace the existing vector suite in 0.6 the existing vector suite is marked for removal in 0.8
• Added a compatibility layer for old groupId which is marked for removal in 0.8

Changed

• MathUtil is now under utils.math
• Separated MathUtil clamping methods into their own class ClampUtil
• Changed GroupId from io.redstudioragnarok to dev.redstudio
• Made RedLogger#RANDOM private

Removed

• Removed Stopwatch it wasn't that good or useful but was fun to make

Fixed

• Fixed inconsistent argument naming in MathUtil#lerp

Internal

• Switched to gradle-buildconfig-plugin entirely for project constants
• Switched to Gradle Kotlin DSL
• Switched to Adoptium
• General cleanup

Red Core MC

Added

• Added support for mc versions 1.7.10 through 1.12.2

• Added int versions of the vectors
• Added a Vec2f constructor for the 2-dimensional vectors
• Added a zero method for the 2-dimensional vector
• Added missing pack.mcmeta

Changed
