New: a muzzle-flash blacklist for specific weapons. Add exact gun IDs (e.g. "tacz:crossbow") to the config file, and the muzzle flash will never spawn for them.

New: automatic muzzle-flash suppression for bow-like weapons (crossbows, etc.) — if a gun's ID contains bow, crossbow, or arrow, the flash is skipped automatically, no manual setup needed. The keyword list is configurable, and the feature can be turned off entirely. This works by name matching — TaCZ has no built-in concept of "this is a crossbow"; under the hood it's the exact same weapon type as everything else, just a different resource-pack skin.

Both settings — muzzleFlashBlacklist and autoDetectBowLikeWeapons — are config-file only (tacz_x_guns_lights_addon-client.toml), no in-game list editor yet.

Fixed a critical bug: dynamic light from gunshots and bullet tracers no longer stays lit forever after re-entering the world or a chunk reload. It used to get baked into the real world light data and stay glowing at the spot you fired from, even much later. New setting: "Silencer/muzzle brake brightness" — 100% / 50% / Off, in the mod's config screen. Defaults to 100% (unchanged) — turn it down if you want a dimmer flash on suppressed or compensator-equipped guns. Updated compatibility with TaCZ to version 1.1.8-hotfix. Added a log warning when the Starlight mod is installed — it's incompatible with this addon's dynamic lighting (lights won't render, but it won't crash). The warning is localized. Minor code cleanup and build script fixes.

🔄 Major Rework

⚙️ Server-side logic moved to client-side — the entire data handling pipeline was rewritten through a new internal API. 💡 No more "ghost" light sources! Bullets will no longer leave behind persistent light blocks in the world. ✨

⚡ Performance Improvements

🚀 Significantly better optimization overall. 🎮 On Medium / High settings the mod should no longer cause noticeable FPS drops. 🧹 Various small client-side cleanups & tweaks.
