Cobblemon: Mega Showdown - Mega Compass

[1.1.1] - 2026-09-28

Added

• In-Game HUD Status Overlay: Added CompassHudRenderer (com.megacompass.client.render.CompassHudRenderer) to render real-time compass search status (Searching with samples and radius, Found with structure name, exact coordinates, and distance, or Not Found) in the top-left HUD corner when holding a compass.
• Dynamic 3D Model Registration: Registered custom 3D baked model loaders via Fabric's ModelLoadingPlugin in MegaCompassClient for all compass variants.
• Overworld Dimension Restriction: Added dimension check blocking searches in Nether/End with translated overlay feedback (string.mega_compass.status.wrong_dimension) across all 8 languages.
• Worker Lifecycle Management: Registered disconnect (ServerPlayConnectionEvents.DISCONNECT) and dimension-change (ServerEntityWorldChangeEvents.AFTER_PLAYER_CHANGE_WORLD) event handlers to automatically stop and clean up active search workers.
• Anti-Spam Cooldown: Added a 1-second cooldown when starting searches to prevent packet and worker churn.
• Automated Publishing Workflow: Added GitHub Actions CI workflow (.github/workflows/publish.yml) to automatically build and publish releases to CurseForge, Modrinth, and GitHub Releases on version tags (v*).
• Mod Publish Plugin Integration: Integrated me.modmuss50.mod-publish-plugin in build.gradle with automated changelog parsing from Docs/CHANGELOG.en.md.

Changed

• Updated Fabric Loader: Bumped Fabric Loader dependency version to 0.18.0 in gradle.properties for mod compatibility.
• Publishing Properties Configuration: Added mod_id, mod_name, curseforge_project_id, and modrinth_project_id to gradle.properties.
• Updated CurseForge Links: Corrected official project slug to cobblemon-mega-showdown-mega-compass in fabric.mod.json, README.md, and documentation.
• Documentation Alignment: Aligned README and Italian documentation to accurately describe all 6 compass variants and 5-ingredient master recipe.

Fixed

• Server Tick Starvation & Exception Safety: Fixed tick time budgeting in WorldWorkerManager with safe elapsed-time checks and exception handling to prevent server lag or tick crashes.
• Dynamic Player ItemStack Resolution: Fixed worker memory leak and orphan updates by resolving the player's active held item at search completion (StructureSearchWorker.getActiveCompassStack()).
• HUD Sample Count Sync: Fixed real-time HUD samples counter being stuck at 0 during search by updating SAMPLES_COMPONENT alongside search radius.
• Dimension Needle Rotation: Fixed 3D needle pointing to invalid coordinates when entering non-Overworld dimensions.

Security

• C2S Payload Target Validation: Fixed vulnerability in SearchPacket to prevent unauthorized structure target modifications on single-structure compasses.

Performance

• Zero-Allocation 3D Render Loop: Replaced JOML Quaternionf and Vector3f heap allocations in MegaCompassBakedModel with direct inline trigonometric vertex transformations.

Removed

• Leftover Backup Files: Removed redundant .bak files (icon.png.bak, compass_base_preset.json.bak) from production resources.
