ADDITIONS
- Attrition is now compatible with Minecraft 1.21.2 (pack format 57) !
- The HeartFade resource pack is now compatible with Minecraft 1.21.2 (pack format 42) !
- The HeartFade resource pack has a new texture for the empty air bubble icon. Compared to the vanilla one, it is darker overall and slightly more textured.
CHANGES
- Removed the deprecated attribute ID prefix 'generic.'
CHANGES
- Added some checks for Contrition flavor text in the health loss section
- Removed some unused lines of code
FIXES
- The info tooltip for the Customize Health Gain Chance option (advanced options menu) now correctly states that the option's effects can be either global or individual depending on usage
ADDITIONS
- The tooltips for each option in the Options Menu (also the advanced options menu) now include the name of the option as the first line of the tooltip. Hopefully this makes things more readable
- You can now directly edit health gain chance from the advanced options menu. You can do a couple of different things with this, including making enchanted golden apples always grant max health. Read the option tooltip for more detailed info
CHANGES
- The Test Attrition option no longer changes any gamerules; it also no longer displays flavor text
- The confirmation messages for Reset Player and Exclude player now display above the player's action bar instead of the chat box
- The logic behind flavor texts has been completely rewritten to rely more on the magic of function macros! No gameplay changes, just makes things slightly more efficient
- The logic behind health gain has also been rewritten to remove a bunch of confusing redundancies and bloat. No gameplay changes here either, only better efficiency!
FIXES
- Fixed some flavor texts not respecting players' personal Flavor Text toggles
ADDITIONS
- Attrition is now compatible with Minecraft 1.21 (pack format 48) !
- Attrition is now compatible only with Minecraft 1.21 pre-1 or above (pack format 46)
- Extended compatibility for HeartFade to Minecraft 1.21 (pack format 34)
CHANGES
- The Reset Player option can no longer be directly accessed from the options menu. The advanced options menu has been moved in its place for better visibility. For its part, the Reset Player option is now in the advanced options menu
- Certain directories (folders) in the data pack have had their names changed in accordance with snapshot 24w21a. This should have no effect on gameplay
- Some parts of the data pack have been deleted as redundant due to the wonderful new fixes for MC-16345, MC-179940, and MC-181604! These should have no effect on gameplay, either
ADDITIONS
- Extended compatibility for Attrition to snapshot 24w20a (pack format 44)
- Added a new customizable feature: the health floor, which is exactly what it sounds like. You can find it in the advanced options menu. It accepts arguments in health points, where the number entered becomes the lowest amount of health a player can have and still be considered alive.
- Added new flavor texts to certain in-game events.
CHANGES
- The confirmation messages for individual toggles (for Attrition, that's Fixed Text, Flavor Text, and Event Sounds) now briefly display above the player's action bar instead of cluttering up the chat box.
- The health score ranges at which flavor texts for dying or for eating an enchanted golden apple can be shown have been updated to reflect the new default max health cap.
- A number of assorted flavor texts have been updated; for example, the one that lists all the places a player can obtain enchanted golden apples now mentions the new Trial Chambers.
FIXES
- Fixed an issue where eating enchanted golden apples past the max health cap would still affect the player's health gain chance
- Fixed an issue where eating enchanted golden apples past the max health cap wouldn't always display the correct fixed or flavor texts
- Fixed an issue where Attrition didn't correctly enforce the upper or lower bounds of players' health gain chance
- Fixed an issue where the flavor texts for dying or for eating an enchanted golden apple wouldn't trigger if the player was on certain half-heart increments of health
This long-overdue update brings you compatibility with the latest Minecraft versions as well as a massive change to the health gain system.
ADDITIONS
- Attrition is now compatible only with Minecraft 1.20.5 or above (pack format 41)
- Extended compatibility for Attrition to snapshot 24w18a (pack format 42)
- Extended compatibility for Heartfade to snapshot 24w18a (pack format 33)
- Added a pack ID (mp.attr) in accordance with the Smithed conventions
CHANGES
- The maximum health cap has been reverted to 20 hearts, or 40 health points.
- Enchanted golden apples no longer guarantee that the consumer will gain an extra heart of maximum health. It is instead now determined by an special algorithm that dynamically adjusts the probability of gaining an extra heart; the probability starts off at 100% and eventually settles at around 50%.
- Backport of v2.4.3 for Minecraft 1.20.0 and 1.20.1
- Extended compatibility to snapshot 24w04a (pack format number 29)
- Corrected internal references to the data pack's version
- Extended compatibility to snapshot 24w03b (pack format number 28)
- Renamed the resource pack to HeartFade and gave it its own version number
- Corrected the pack format number for HeartFade. It is now 24 (compatible with snapshot 24w03b)
TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS This version is the first that is only available for Minecraft 1.20.2 and above. This has given me extra freedom to experiment with a bunch of command wizardry newly added by Mojang. Chief among them are function macros, which are easily the best thing to have happened to data pack writing since I began developing them in 2020. I rebuilt Attrition from the ground up using these function macros; thanks to them, version 2.5.0 is an incredible 42% lighter than the previous one, all while having more features than before!
ENDLESS CUSTOMIZABILITY Function macros don't just help make data packs more compact. They're also great for making them more flexible. If you want to truly customize your experience with Attrition, head to the developer settings (available from the options menu by clicking the words 'options menu'), where you'll find that:
-- The health cap option now supports any number. The built-in limit to max health is said to be 1024 health points, so anything above that might not work correctly. -- You can now define the health gain increment, that is, the number of health points that are gained when consuming an enchanted golden apple. Again, this can now be any number, including odd (half-heart) numbers. -- You can also independently define the health loss increment, which of course is the number of health points that are lost when dying. This can also be any number, including odd (half-heart) numbers.
In a related change once again made possible because of function macros, the fixed text messages are now dynamic. This means that if you set the health loss increment to 1, then the fixed text will read "<playername> has surrendered a half-heart of maximum health!" ; for values greater than 2, it will read "<playername> has surrendered some amount of maximum health!"
DIVINE WRATH All of this customizability made the Health Upgrade toggle, formerly available from the options menu, completely redundant. It has been replaced with a new option, Divine Wrath, which is toggled off by default. When toggled on, all spirits (players who have lost all of their max health) will be given permanent blindness. This is meant to make it harder for dead players to spectate for alive players in multiplayer settings.
MULTI-VERSION SUPPORT Another new feature from Mojang is the ability to define more than one supported version (technically, pack format number) at the same time in data packs. Because of this, Attrition 2.5.0 works seamlessly in Minecraft versions 1.20.2, 1.20.3, and 1.20.4 at the same time. The resource pack has been given this update, too.
- Added a new menu called dev settings, which currently has two options: [1] Exclude Player, which lets you exclude a player from Attrition mechanics, just as before, and [2] Customize Health Cap, which lets you set a specific limit to the amount of maximum health players can accumulate. With this option, Attrition once again supports up to 20 hearts of maximum health.
- The header for the options menu now includes the words "options menu", complete with an informative hover text bubble that displays the dev settings when clicked.
- Exclude Player is no longer available directly from the main options menu.
- The color palette used for the flavor texts that display when a player regains maximum health has been changed from a yellow one to a green one.
- Going through the End fountain portal and returning to the overworld no longer resets your base health to 10 hearts (MC-181604).
