RegionSpawnMobs 2.0.1

Version 2.0.1 focuses on terrain placement accuracy, live configuration reloads, spawn reliability, mod compatibility, and admin UI improvements.

Important Upgrade Note

terrain-types.json now uses only the new profiles format. The legacy terrains and spawnModes sections are no longer loaded.

• Convert an existing terrain file to profiles, or delete it once and let the mod create the new default file.
• Regions, markers, presets, and the global configuration remain compatible.
• After the server starts with 2.0.1, terrain file changes can be applied with /rsmreload without restarting the server.

Terrain Profiles and Spawn Placement

• Replaced the legacy terrain format with a single, clearer profiles format.
• Added three explicit placement types:
  • SURFACE for mobs that spawn on solid ground.
  • FLUID for mobs that spawn inside fluids selected by a Hytale fluid tag.
  • AIR_ABOVE_SURFACE for flying mobs that spawn a configurable number of blocks above a matching surface.
• Added minimumHeight and maximumHeight controls for air placement.
• Added support for exact block IDs and Hytale BlockSet definitions.
• Block matching no longer normalizes names or performs partial matches. IDs must match the Hytale asset ID exactly, improving compatibility with blocks from other mods.
• Added case-sensitive block validation in the terrain editor. Invalid IDs such as Soil_leaves are rejected instead of being silently saved.
• Fluid profiles can use an empty blockIds list and resolve valid fluids through fluidTag.
• Surface and air placement now use Hytale block materials to distinguish solid, empty, and fluid positions correctly.
• Air placement checks both body and head space and respects region boundaries, cuts, and the configured height range.
• The default terrain file now creates the cave, water, land, and Air profiles using the new format.
• Terrain profiles can be created, edited, and removed from the UI and take effect immediately in the running repository.

Reload System

• Expanded /rsmreload to reload all RegionSpawnMobs data:
  • regions
  • global configuration
  • presets
  • terrain profiles
  • markers
• Terrain and marker changes no longer require a server restart.
• Reload operations validate replacement data before applying it and preserve the previous in-memory configuration if a file is missing or invalid.
• Region runtime state, spawn intervals, spatial indexes, and static visualization caches are refreshed after reload.
• Marker reload now cleans outdated marker visuals, tracked mobs from removed markers, and stale runtime caches.
• The command reports the success or failure of each reloaded data source.

Spawn Reliability and Performance

• Region spawning now selects only chunks in an active Hytale state (HOT/TICKING).
• SpawnPoint candidates outside active chunks are rejected safely.
• Spawn passes stop early when all active chunks in an area are already at their configured capacity.
• Fixed spawn-column selection so chunk activity, region boundaries, and cut masks are considered together.
• Removed the misleading “many empty spawn passes” warning. Empty passes can be normal when terrain, density, conditions, or positions temporarily prevent spawning.
• Improved validation for floor, fluid, and air candidates.
• Added correct fluid-tag matching through Hytale's asset registry.

Region and Marker UI

• Redesigned terrain profile editing to show placement settings, exact block IDs, block icons, height limits, fluid tags, and BlockSet fields more clearly.
• Mob icons now use the exact asset path Icons/ModelsGenerated/<EntityId>.png without adapting or normalizing entity IDs. Missing assets use the normal fallback icon.
• Improved mob search rows with icons and a visible selection state.
• Added configured-mob rows and a selected-mob visual panel to the Marker editor.
• Added a 1-pixel gap between configured mob rows in both Region and Marker editors.
• Redesigned the Region mob summary as compact rectangular rows.
• Added a readable TP button beside each live mob type in the Region summary.
• The TP action rescans the region, selects the nearest living tracked mob of that type, and teleports the admin beside it.
• TP safely reports offline worlds, different worlds, or mobs that no longer exist. The Total row does not show a TP button.
• Added proximity-aware sorting and distance information to Region and Marker lists.
• Added a separate configurable visualization range.
• Added folder-path suggestions to the region creation command.

Marker Fixes

• Fixed marker chunk calculations at negative world coordinates.
• Improved marker reload synchronization and visual cleanup.
• Fixed reconciliation cleanup for tracked entities whose mob configuration no longer exists.
• Cleared stale marker spawn intervals and caches when data is reloaded.

Data and Compatibility

• Region backup files are now organized under backups/regions instead of being mixed with live region JSON files.
• Existing legacy region backups are migrated automatically.
• Region rename and deletion operations now move or remove their matching backups correctly.
• Removed the external MultipleHUD compile dependency.
• Updated local build configuration to resolve the Hytale server JAR from the standard user installation path.
• Updated the mod manifest and build version to 2.0.1.

Verification

• Full project build completed successfully.
