Changed: Synergy 0.1.0

The first stable release of Changed: Synergy builds on the RC1 stability, compatibility, and movement work, with a final round of social, riding, and quality-of-life fixes!

Changed Vanilla compatibility

• Added official optional compatibility with Changed Vanilla 1.0.1.
• Changed Vanilla creatures now receive appropriate Synergy factions and species roles.
• Natural and converted Changed Vanilla creatures can participate correctly in identity, relationship, community, and companion systems.
• Preserved Changed Vanilla's dedicated zombie and skeleton conversions even when Synergy's mindless-mob transfur option is disabled.

Stability fixes

• Fixed ticking-entity crashes caused by modifying AI goal selectors while they were being processed.
• Added a safe end-of-tick queue for Addon Plus goal changes and inherited equipment updates.
• Improved equipment inheritance when a creature absorbs an equipped mob.
• Community membership is now saved, restored, and merged correctly.
• Improved cleanup of stale wrapping and temporary transfur states after player death, cloning, and respawning.
• Provisioners now reliably put away temporary fishing rods, pickaxes, and navigation items when gathering is completed or interrupted.

Companion movement

• Added shared land-and-water navigation for bonded and friendly followers.
• Fixed aquatic companions swimming in place when attempting to follow a player on land.
• Aquatic creatures can now locate nearby shorelines and leave the water to approach their owner.
• Added stalled-path detection and safe recovery for following, social approaches, rescue behavior, and emergency wrapping.
• Improved bonded rescue behavior when an owner is grabbed or otherwise unreachable.
• Bonded creatures attempting to prevent their owner's transfur now approach at a normal running speed instead of moving unnaturally fast. Other urgent rescue situations retain their faster emergency movement.

Final release improvements

• Friendly, non-hostile latex creatures near a bed no longer trigger Minecraft's “monsters nearby” sleep restriction.
• Added automatic sideways seating for players riding supported taur creatures.
  • The camera now follows the sideways pose and uses a collision-safe offset to keep the taur's head from blocking the rider's view.
• Added a Pat Pacification configuration option.
  • Disabling it prevents pats from stopping pursuit or creating a temporary ceasefire.
  • Ordinary pat reactions and relationship progress remain available.
• Dead latex creatures are now removed promptly from player contact lists.
• Wild latex sharks, milk puddings, and headless knights can now participate in Synergy's social systems. They remain excluded from Synergy's grab mechanics.

Compatibility and networking

• Improved Changed Addon Plus goal installation and removal safety.
• Updated compatibility documentation and optional dependency metadata.
• Uses the updated 0.1.0 release-line network protocol. Clients and servers must use compatible Synergy builds.

Supported versions

• Minecraft 1.20.1
• Forge 47.4.x
• Changed 0.15.7
• Changed Addon Plus 2.9.2c or Changed Additions 0.1.0-V4-Fix (optional)
• Changed Vanilla 1.0.1 (optional)
