ChimericLib

26.2 - 6.0.0

BREAKING CHANGES

• This release targets Minecraft 26.2 and requires Java 25. It is not compatible with 26.1.x or 1.21.x.

Changes

• Updated to Minecraft 26.2, Architectury 21.0.4, Fabric API 0.154.2+26.2 and NeoForge 26.2.0.15-beta.
• No API changes of its own. Everything listed under the 26.1.2 release below is included — the two are the same library built for different Minecraft versions.
• Mods in this suite now require ChimericLib 6.0.0 or later.

26.1.2 - 5.0.0

BREAKING CHANGES

• This release targets Minecraft 26.1.2 and requires Java 25. It is not compatible with 1.21.x.
• SimpleInventoryScreenHandler and DoubleWideInventoryScreenHandler are now thin subclasses of the new InventoryScreenHandler. Their behavior is unchanged, but anything overriding their internals should be re-checked against the base class.
• ColorHelpers' per-color palette arrays are now private. Use the new getTints(String) accessor, which hands out a defensive copy — callers could previously mutate shared palette state.
• BlockUtils now lives here (com.chimericdream.lib.blocks.BlockUtils), moved out of Sponj.

New Features

• screen/InventoryScreenHandler — base class for fixed-grid container menus. Owns slot layout, quickMoveStack, and the removed()/stopOpen() pairing that keeps viewer counts balanced.
• inventories/ContainerOpenersCounters — factory for ContainerOpenersCounter, replacing hand-rolled anonymous implementations. It takes the menu class as a required parameter and confirms ownership against the block entity, so a counter can no longer be copy-pasted onto the wrong menu type.
• item/AbstractWrenchItem — the wrench placement/facing/axis/slab logic that Minekea and Hopper X-Treme each carried a byte-for-byte copy of.
• blocks/BlockUtils — moved here from Sponj.
• neoforge/loot/LootModifierHelper.createRegister(modId) — wraps the NeoForge global-loot-modifier DeferredRegister boilerplate.
• ColorHelpers.getTints(String).

Bug Fixes

• Partial stacks now merge correctly. ImplementedInventory.isMatchingPartialStack compared stacks with ItemStack.matches, which also compares counts, so two otherwise-identical partial stacks only merged when their counts happened to be equal. Every tryInsert consumer — Minekea shelves, armoires and glass jars, the block painter, the hopper filter — silently failed to merge partial stacks.
• ImplementedInventory.clearContent now preserves the fixed slot count of a NonNullList.withSize(...) instead of letting the size drift.
• BlockConfig.getTexture() no longer throws "No default ingredient set" for a config that supplies an explicit texture but no ingredient. It used Map.getOrDefault, whose default argument Java evaluates unconditionally, so the fallback ran even when it was never needed.
• Menus now issue stopOpen when closed, so opener counts stay balanced.
• ColorHelpers.getTint bounds its tint index at both ends.

Changes

• Updated to Minecraft 26.1.2 / Architectury 20.0.7, built against official Mojang mappings.
• Added a test harness: common's testFixtures variant publishes BootstrapMinecraft and the shared GameTestContainers / GameTestEntities / GameTestMenus helpers for downstream mods to reuse.
• Added 43 JUnit tests across 9 classes and 11 GameTests across 5 classes. The GameTests live in an isolated gametest source set that never ships.
• ChimericLib now resolves as an in-build project() dependency inside the mod monorepo, so consumers compile against its source directly. publish:lib is release-only.
