\# v1.2.0 \[Summary\](https://github.com/MingshiYangUIUC/Pool-Minecraft-Squid-Workshop-Project/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) \[总结\](https://github.com/MingshiYangUIUC/Pool-Minecraft-Squid-Workshop-Project/blob/main/%E6%9B%B4%E6%96%B0%E6%97%A5%E5%BF%97.md) This is the first public release where the default datapack fully supports non-operators and survival-mode players. It also comes with recipe-based item access and several small fixes/refinements. ## Special Thanks - Special thanks to the community voters who emphasized the need of non-operator and survival-mode player support. --- ## Main changes - The default datapack is now the modified Datapack-\*\*NoOP\*\* version. - It supports survival-mode players and players without command permissions. - The original OP/function-call version is renamed to Datapack-\*\*Base\*\* and kept mainly for development. It will only appear in source code repository. - Some advanced (but rarely used) features may still require command permissions (changing TP duration, gamerule tweaks, etc.). - \*\*NoOP\*\* version added trigger-based command access. - Use \`/trigger swPool\_\_trigger set 1\` to open the command window. - If no language is selected and the command window does not show correctly, the datapack will prompt you to choose a language. - Most settings may be reset when updating to this version, so you may need to re-apply them. - Added recipe support for survival players in \*\*Minecraft 1.20.5+\*\*. - When recipes are enabled and the player is not in Creative mode, cue sticks and pool tables must be obtained through crafting. - This crafting requirement can be turned on or off. - Recipes are not supported in 1.20.4 and older versions because recipe outputs cannot store custom components, and I do not want to replace existing vanilla recipes. - Recipes are stored in \`Recipes\` folder and are added to the datapacks by the building script. To some degree, you can customize the registry and rebuild the datapack to use your own recipes. --- ## Survival / NoOP features - Added craftable cue sticks. - Cue sticks are unbreakable bows. - During a game, please keep your offhand slot empty. The game may give you arrows with a green check mark, invisible to other players, so you can keep shooting. - Before entering the practice mode, please keep your inventory as empty as possible. All variants of balls will be given to you. - Added craftable pool table cores. - A table core is a custom chest that stores the selected table cloth and rim type information. - The recipe is intentionally designed to be stratightforward for easier setup. - When placed, the datapack detects the chest location, summon a temporary helper entity, and uses the item data to set the table cloth and rim settings. - The table core item is placed inside the chest, so the player can cancel placement and take back the same item. - The table placement message is slightly different from the normal global table setup message. - When the player confirms placement, the chest and the item inside are removed and the table is created at the chest location. - The temporary helper entity lasts for 60 seconds. If it expires, the player needs to take the table core item out of the chest and place it again. --- ## Settings - Ball spinning is now \*\*ON by default\*\*. Max number of commands in a tick is automatically raised to 500000. --- ## Fixes and refinements - Small efficiency improvements that reduces the use of helper entities during collision detection. - Optimized the resource pack file structure for custom cloths. - Refined the corner pocket resource pack models for more accurate rendering. - Fixed a 9-ball respot bug when auto judge is off. - Trimmed all scoreboard objective names so character count is less or equal to 16. - Provide a copy of readme in the datapack folders. --- ## Documentation - Added a section for non-OP users, including survival-mode users. --- ## Testing - Tested datapack without command permission in several versions. (1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.20.6, 1.21.2, 1.21.8, 26.2) - Tested crafting recipes in several 1.20.5+ versions. (1.20.6, 1.21.2, 1.21.8, 26.2)
