DAI Survival Interface — v0.3.0 → v0.4.0

DAI 3.3 Modernization

• Updated DAI Survival Interface for DAI 3.3.

• Updated managed ADDON metadata to v0.4.0.

• Updated compatibility and release documentation.

• Preserved the stable addon ID:

  • dai_survival_interface

• Remains fully datapack-driven with no required resource pack.

Target Detection Optimization

• Reduced expensive recursive aim-ray acquisition from 20 TPS to 10 TPS per enabled player.
• Preserved responsive pre-combat target detection.
• Maintained the existing target distance and living-entity detection behavior.
• Preserved compatibility with vanilla and DAI-native living entities through standard server-side health data.

Multiplayer Load Distribution

• Added alternating per-player scan phases.
• Players are distributed between two target-scanning phases based on their isolated HUD lane.
• Multiplayer raycast processing is now spread across alternating server ticks instead of every player performing the expensive scan simultaneously.
• Reduces command spikes in LAN and multiplayer environments.

Target Lock Improvements

• Preserved the existing 2.5-second target-lock grace window.
• Target-lock timing still advances at the full 20 TPS.
• Aim acquisition can now run at 10 TPS without changing the duration or behavior of the grace window.
• Brief ray misses continue to retain the previous target instead of causing HUD flicker.

HUD Efficiency

• Bossbar visibility is now updated only when the HUD actually changes visibility state.
• Removed repeated visible false writes every tick while no target is active.
• Each player's dedicated bossbar lane is now assigned during player initialization.
• Removed repeated bossbar player reassignment from every successful target refresh.
• Successful target updates now perform less HUD bookkeeping.

Temporary Target Cleanup

• Removed the global temporary-target cleanup scan from every aim-ray pass.
• Temporary target tags continue to be removed immediately after each successful target update.
• Load-time cleanup remains as a safeguard against stale tags after reloads or interrupted execution.

Existing Interface Preserved

• 16 isolated player HUD lanes remain supported.
• Target name display remains unchanged.
• Native health progress bar remains unchanged.
• Current / maximum HP display remains unchanged.
• Approximate target range remains unchanged.
• Existing enable/disable commands remain unchanged.
• Existing player preferences continue to persist.
• No floating text_display entities are introduced.
• Remains compatible alongside DAI Damage Indicators and other DAI addons.

Performance Summary

• Recursive target acquisition: 20 TPS → 10 TPS
• Multiplayer scans: staggered across alternating ticks
• Target-lock timing: remains 20 TPS
• Bossbar player assignment: per target refresh → once during initialization
• HUD hiding: continuous writes → transition-only
• Global temporary-target cleanup: every scan → load-time safeguard only

The visual behavior remains the same while substantially reducing unnecessary target-scanning and HUD command processing.
