Changelog

All notable changes to Biology Dictionary will be documented in this file.

Release

Added

• Added a multi-selection mode for selecting multiple entity types on the home screen
• Added a toggle to show only discovered entities, with a configurable default and session-persistent state
• Added a selection count display while in selection mode
• Added a blacklist feature: the server config entityTypeBlacklist excludes entity types from the dictionary, and selection mode can add the selected entities to it
• Added a confirmation dialog before applying the blacklist, including a warning that the blacklist is server-side when playing on a remote server
• Added a new default "Boss" tag to the entity catalog, populated from the c:bosses convention tag
• Added spawn egg lore display in the entity description widget, reading lore.<namespace>.<path> translation keys
• Added a plugin API for third-party mods to register custom skills, extra entity properties, entity display order, client-side property widgets, and discovery sources via @BiologyDictionaryPlugin / @BiologyDictionaryClientPlugin
• Added public discovery API facades (ServerDiscoveryApi / ClientDiscoveryApi) for querying and recording discoveries

Changed

• Refactored the discovery system: discovery sources are now pluggable and registered through a central DiscoverySources registry; the client discovery cache was consolidated into ClientDiscoveryCacheManager
• Refactored EntityManager around per-entry creation-failure tracking (EntityDictionaryEntry); introduced the EntityDisplay helper and removed the placeholder fallback renderer
• Reorganized plugin interfaces into the api.plugin package
• Improved entity display widget rendering with an inner border
• Reordered server config entries

Fixed

• Fixed the discovery progress tooltip not appearing after turning pages on the home screen
• Fixed session teardown when leaving a world so no screen renders against a torn-down session on the render thread
