Back up your save files

Although I've tried to keep this backwards-compatible (and I have succeeded to my knowledge), one can never be cautious enough, so I'd advise you to back up your world files before updating this mod.

v1.18.2-2.0.1

Small bugfix release

Fixes Issue #114 and improves the way that the mod handles input.

v1.18.2-2.0.0

The BIG update

It is me again, to bring to you the good news that there is a new version for this mod now. It has taken me a while, but I think it was worth it as I was able to solve a bunch of long-standing issues.

Anyways, after this little warning above, let's dive into the changes that have been made in this new release:

New morph abilities

• Enderdragon: Flies in the direction in which you are facing. Can shoot Dragon Fireballs. Can only be morphed into this morph for a limited amount of time.
• Evoker: Is able to conjure fangs to attack their foes.
• Skeletons: Are now able to ride spiders (although they cannot control them).
• Baby Zombies: Can now ride chickens (although they cannot be steered).

Visual bug fixes

• Fixed a bug where wolf, parrot and cat would clip into the ground (Issue #88)
• Fixed a bug where Axolotl and Turtle's vision is permanently zoomed, even if they are in the water (Issue #79)
• Glow squids should now glow if you morph into them (Issue #80)
• Walking through webs as a spider should not cause any FOV issues anymore
• Fixed a long-standing issue where the player would sometimes strike with the wrong hand
• Iron golem morphs will now make a yeet animation when attacking entities
• The visual appearance of the disabled UI element bar should now be much smoother.
• Skeletons should now display their bow properly
• Guardians should now make sounds when jumping on land
• Striders will now appear purple if they are not near lava

Language

• Added basic support for Spanish thanks to albertosaurio65
• Added support for German

Gameplay bug fixes

• Magma cubes and Zombified Piglins won't burn in lava anymore
• Attacking the mimic from Artifacts should not lead to a crash anymore (Issue #94)
• Fixed bug where slimes could attack players when they shouldn't.
• Fixed bug relating to dynamic ability additions which could cause the dynamic ability to persist.
• Undead mobs will no longer drown.
• Finally fixed a long-standing bug where the client displays that it is morphed into one morph when it is really morphed into another morph on the server.
• Fixed bug where ranged attacks as a wither skeleton could cause the attacked entity to get the wither effect.
• Fixed bug where Piglins would attack you regardless whether you were morphed or not.

Gameplay changes

• Players are now affected by the ability of the iron golem too; they won't be able to escape the yeeting anymore
• You can now morph into different sizes of slimes and magma cubes
• Attributes will now be copied. This means that almost all attributes from the morph will be applied to the player without any additional abilities.
• Added gamerule inheritMorphSpeed to control whether the speed of morphs should be inherited by players. (Default: false)
• Morphing will now only work if there is enough space around you. This can be disabled with the gamerule skipSpaceRestrictionCheck.
• Blazes will now be able to fire their projectiles slightly faster.
• Enderman morphs will now be able to teleport much quicker.
• Magma cubes won't take fall damage anymore
• Magma cubes will now jump higher, especially if the magma cube is big

Technical changes

• Files located in morph_abilities will now accept entity tags as well.
• Huge parts of the Java API have been deprecated! They will be removed in the next update. This is because of a fix to a bug that resulted in much cleaner code at the cost of having to restructure it. The old API still works, but its usage could slow down the game, and, as I said earlier, it will be removed.
• Added network direction to packets. This probably prevents malicious clients or servers from crashing each other by causing a ClassNotFoundException.
• Added conditional_ability, a rather powerful ability that is able to enable other abilities if a given condition is met.

Audio change

Mobs will now make the according sounds (including ambient sounds). E. g. a wither morph makes wither sounds when being hurt. This should seamlessly apply to modded entities as well.

Animation system change

Modded mob animations should now be a little bit better supported by this mod. Some morphs like Blazes now emit particles.

Misc changes

• Mod files should now be much more smaller since they don't include the source psd files used for the logo anymore.

That's all. Thanks for reading this changelog :)
