Blabber

Version 1.6.0-mc1.20.1:

Barring serious bugs, this is the last backport for MC 1.20.1.

Additions

• New illustration types:
  • blabber:fake_player draws a (potentially offline) player with custom data
  • blabber:texture draws a 2D texture from a resourcepack
• New anchor system for illustrations: you do not have to draw everything relative to the top-left corner anymore, you can pick any corner plus a couple predefined "good spots" for illustrations
  • use the /blabber settings set debug.anchors <true|false> command to toggle the illustration anchor debug mode, which displays the coordinates of the cursor relative to every available anchor
• Added the scale property for item illustrations (defaults to 1.0)
  • Limitation: durability bars and stack count indicators do not render when a custom scale is set
• API: Added an experimental API for custom parameterized dialogue layouts
• Added customization options for dialogue layouts
  • Currently, the only configuration available is main_text_margins on the RPG layout
• Added Mexican Spanish localization (thanks TheLegendofSaram !)

Changes

• The format of entity illustrations has changed
  • They now use x/y/width/height properties instead of x1/y1/x2/y2 to bring them in line with other illustrations
  • size has been renamed to entity_size
  • stare_at_x/stare_at_y properties have been moved to a stare_at object, which can optionally take an anchor
  • Illustrations in the old format should keep working, but only the new format will be actively supported going forward
• Illustration deserialization error messages have been improved slightly
• Blabber will now log a warning with some additional details when it detects that a player gets stuck without available choices
• API: DialogueIllustration#parseText can now throw CommandSyntaxException
• API: the mod is now compatible with split sourceset environments
  • The experimental illustration API has been consequently reworked

Fixes

• Entity dialogue illustrations have been fixed and now have feature parity with the version for MC 1.20.4
  • This is likely to move around existing entity illustrations on this version

Mod Interactions

• JEI no longer appears on the dialogue screen
