New Features

• The attack cooldown indicator is now represented by a low-pitched clicking sound when it fills. This sound only plays if the indicator is visible on screen; to suppress it, either hide the HUD entirely or set the attack indicator to “Off” in the options menu.
• A sound will now play when sending or receiving chat messages
• The U key now narrates bossbars in a cycling list, including those added via a server or adventure map
• 1.21.10 support
• The contents of shelves, campfires, and item frames are now narrated
• Added optional warnings for armor and tools when the durability falls below the two configured percentages
• There is now a new sound when you sneak, sprint, or start moving normally after canceling sneak/sprint

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the credits tip was being read after the credits concluded instead of immediately when the screen opened
• Automatic biome narration will no longer trigger when the game's language is changed
• If a chunk is not fully loaded in, the automatic biome narration will no longer narrate the default biome for the dimention
• The special degrees status for looking straight down is now spoken instead of -89 degrees to match the behavior for looking straight up
• Snow and Copper Golems are now categorized as Passive in the Object Tracker
• Fixed some unreliability on the NeoForge platform, and made the mod initialize after the client is fully ready.
• Air and dying entities will now no longer appear in the Object Tracker.

Feature Updates

• Camera control keys are now disabled when the user is locked onto something or they are spectating to prevent confusion
• Mouse camera control is now disabled while locked onto a target
• In speak facing direction, only the center of each direction is now considered as cardinal, otherwise the nearest ordinal direction is spoken
• It is now no longer possible to have a locked target while spectating another entity, as this behavior didn't actually work, since camera movement in spectating is locked by the game
• The advancements key is now bound to O by default, instead of being unbound
• If a warning has two thresholds, as is the case for durability and health, the more severe threshold will play a metal clang sound instead of the normal shatter whoosh sound.
