Bits and Balance v2.2.4

Note: This is a shared changelog for both Fabric and NeoForge versions. NeoForge 1.21.1 is coming next!

Fixes

• Azalea Hanging Sign
  • 1.21.1: Fabric and NeoForge azalea hanging signs once again craft correctly with chains on both loaders
• Item Sharing
  • Fabric: shared-item chat rendering on 1.21.1 now fades banners, beds, shulker boxes, and shields correctly in old chat without whitening banner visuals or leaving shields opaque
• Chat Mentions
  • Fabric: tagged usernames on 1.21.1 now highlight red in live chat again, typed mentions once more highlight correctly while composing a message, and opening chat no longer crashes when no active mention span is present
• Biome-Tinted Items
  • 1.21.1: Vanilla Backport Bush now participates in biome-tinted item coloring instead of rendering untinted
• Candle Bundles
  • Fabric: 1.21.1 candle bundles now use axis-correct placement orientation when placed or when a normal candle stack converts into a bundle, fixing east/west bundles that faced back toward the placer while preserving the already-correct north/south placement
• Dismount Entities
  • Fabric: 1.21.1 now lets you shift-right-click either the mount or the mounted passenger to eject riders, and dismounted entities are launched from the mount's facing side instead of popping out unpredictably
• Leashed Teleport
  • Fabric: 1.21.1 now carries leashed followers through old-line direct teleports and portal transfers again, including teleport-style potion moves that had stopped bringing leashed mobs along reliably
• More Mining XP
  • Fabric: 1.21.1 now awards the configured extra ore-mining XP from the ore XP drop path itself, so vanilla and Bits and Balance ore variants reliably grant their bonus XP when mined without Silk Touch
• Mixed Slabs
  • Fabric: 1.21.1 mixed slabs now render their stored top and bottom slab halves again instead of appearing invisible after placement
• Bioluminescence
  • Fabric: 1.21.1 now keeps the Bioluminescence status-effect icon and dynamic light active for the full effect duration instead of flashing briefly and disappearing, and affected entities once again illuminate nearby blocks while moving
  • Fabric: 1.21.11 dedicated servers no longer crash on player join when Bioluminescence sync runs
• Full Ender Dragon XP
  • Respawned Ender Dragons now reliably award the full first-kill XP amount instead of falling back to vanilla's reduced respawn reward

Minor Changes

• Brushing XP Rewards
  • Brushing suspicious blocks now awards 10x more XP across active versions
• Nether Veins
  • Nether gold and quartz veins are now much rarer across active versions, reduced from about 50 combined placements per 100 chunks to about 1 combined placement per 100 chunks by default. Whoops!
• Coal Veins
  • Deep coal+tuff veins are now tuned closer to shallow coal+andesite veins across active versions, reducing the deep variant from roughly 3x as many sampled continuation passes down to roughly 2x
