What's new

Bons and Furious 1.0.42

313 controls for Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge, up from 307 in 1.0.41. This release folds three standalone performance features into Bons and Furious.

Six new controls

  • JEI: jei_join_recipe_deferral moves anvil-book and grindstone recipe work until after joining. Off by default because those recipes appear later. Steps aside for FastJEI and the standalone Bons JEI Deferral.

  • Spawn area: vanilla_spawn_area_preload prepares a small non-ticking spawn area during server startup when spawn chunks have been removed. On by default; it does nothing when vanilla has already loaded the area. This trades some startup time and memory for less work on the first join.

  • Ben's Sharks 1.3.0: benssharks_tick_listeners, benssharks_work_queue_idle, benssharks_item_animation_idle and benssharks_prey_search_merge avoid unrelated entity callbacks, skip idle work and share repeated prey searches. All four are on by default. Despawn and loot changes remain in the separate Bons Sharks Fix mod.

Tested

Paired full-pack server runs matched all 15 terrain digests. JEI recipe checks matched the recipe contents, and Ben's Sharks behaviour checks and 3,900 prey-search checks found no mismatches. Client boot-loop checks, ServerCore startup, Embeddium without Oculus and the release compatibility checks passed. Two rebuilds produced the same final JAR.

Install

Replace the older Bons and Furious JAR with bons_and_furious-1.0.42.jar and restart. Minecraft 1.20.1, Forge 47.3.22 or newer within 47.x; tested with 47.4.16. No required dependencies. Existing config choices are kept and new keys are added with their defaults.

Bons Welcome Mat and Bons JEI Deferral are no longer needed for these features. If using Bons Sharks Fix, use 1.1.0 for its separate despawn and loot changes; Bons and Furious steps aside for the older combined fix.

Every control has its own switch in config/bons_and_furious.properties. A control whose target mod is missing or does not match its supported code is skipped.

The whole-pack benchmark on the project page was measured with 1.0.31 and has not been repeated for this release.
