Changelog

1.2.0

Added

• Multiplayer loading screen for every condition. Whenever a condition (firstJoin, playerDeath, deathByEntity, entityKilled, advancementCompleted, dimensionChanged) is about to play a local-file video that is still being transferred from the server, a full-screen black overlay with an animated spinner and a translatable label takes over until the download finishes, then hands off seamlessly to the playback screen. World sounds are muted while it is up. For firstJoin specifically, the server also keeps the player in Spectator while the overlay is on screen, matching the previous behavior; other conditions only display the overlay.
• titleTextScale and descriptionTextScale. Per-entry font multipliers for the title and description overlays.
• textBoxOpacity. Per-entry control over the background opacity of the title/description box.
• YouTube and HTTP/HTTPS URL sources. Any condition entry can now reference a URL (including YouTube links) as its source. URL playback is powered by WATERMeDIA v3 and the optional WATERMeDIA YouTube Extension; URLs are excluded from the server↔client file transfer pipeline and resolved independently by each client.
• videoVolume. Per-entry audio volume control (0.0–1.0).
• videoLoop. When true, the entry replays itself seamlessly until the player skips it with ESC. Forces skippable = true; if the user configures videoLoop = true together with skippable = false the entry now safely plays once and a configuration warning is logged.
• Playlists per condition. The single video string field has been replaced by videos: [...], a list of VideoEntry items played in order. A playlistLoop flag at the condition level repeats the whole list once the last entry finishes.
• Transitions between playlist entries. Each entry can declare a transition (cut — default, frame-perfect — or fadeOut/In) and an optional nextAt cue point (seconds) at which the player should hand off to the next entry instead of waiting for the natural end of the video.
• Versioned config schema with automatic migration. Configs from 1.1.x are upgraded the first time 1.2.0 reads them. A backup of the original is written next to the file as *.bak-v<previousVersion> before the migration runs.
• Auto-hiding cursor. The mouse cursor fades out after a few seconds of inactivity during video playback and reappears the instant the mouse moves.
• Release-after-hold ESC. Holding ESC for roughly one second and then releasing closes the playback screen; the action only fires on release so the in-world pause menu does not toggle if the key stays pressed.
• Spanish locales. Translations shipped for es_es, es_ar, and es_mx in addition to the existing en_us.

Changed

• Backend upgrade to WATERMeDIA v3. The video pipeline now targets WATERMeDIA's v3 API natively, which also covers URL streaming, so a separate "YouTube plugin" dependency is no longer required for non-YouTube URLs. The YouTube Extension mod remains optional for YouTube links specifically.
• Server-side mod surface trimmed. A dedicated Forge/Fabric server no longer references any client-only or WATERMeDIA classes, eliminating crash paths reported on dedicated servers.

Fixed

• F11 / window resize no longer re-runs the playback intro. Pressing F11 (fullscreen toggle) or resizing the window during a video used to reset the elapsed-time counter, which re-played the title / description / skip-hint fade-in animation and re-positioned the text box. Resizes are now non-destructive: the backend stays alive and the overlay timers keep their progress.
