Changelog

1.0.8

• Making any item from this mod awards the tutorial handbook once per player, including altar baubles. Updated calling, protection, residence, bauble and integration instructions, removing outdated guidance.

• Updated the Contract Heart Key, Resonance Sword Tassel, Guardian Ribbon and Heartbound Knot textures with subtle animations and resting intervals.

• Fixed following companions' resonance drain, recovery and cooperation tracking stopping when the player switched held items.

• Protective manifestations no longer play attention responses or idle voices; delayed idle voices are suppressed during danger.

• Added a configurable Call / Recall Maid key, default ]. Manually called companions remain when switching items.

• Merely holding a contract weapon no longer summons its maid. Actual enemy damage can summon a stored companion to protect you before returning to rest after danger subsides.

• Native TLM home mode or sitting/stay can leave a maid in your house. Residence and position survive normal world saves and logout, and injury does not pull her away.

• Manual recall requires the same world and at most 32 blocks, with messages for distant, cross-world or unreachable companions.

• Added greeting, protective and post-combat dialogue, and updated player-facing hints and handbook instructions.

• Added the Resonance Sword Tassel, Guardian Ribbon and Heartbound Knot for the maid's native Touhou Little Maid bauble slots. All use native altar recipes; Curios is not required.

• The tassel enables contract weapon projection and automatic work selection. Without an active tassel or knot, the maid keeps her own weapon and manually selected work and schedule.

• The ribbon projects the owner's armor without changing work. The knot combines both projection abilities in one slot. Projection baubles do not stack; the first equipped slot takes priority.

• Added animated bauble textures and altar recipe instructions in the handbook.

• Removed the additional copying of the owner's base attack and armor stats. Maids retain their own base attributes, and projected weapons carry no duplicate contract growth data.

• Removing a bauble or recalling the maid restores her original equipment. Projections remain disabled in Contract Interiors.

• Existing projection data is migrated safely, restoring original equipment and base attributes.

1.0.7

New Features

• Added Contract Interiors: a home you can build and decorate with your contracted maid. Choose from Plains Garden, Sakura Garden, Bamboo Grove, Lake Islet, or Hill Garden on your first visit. Your available land expands as your contract levels up, while existing builds remain intact.
• Added the Contract Heart Key. Hold the key in your main hand and a contract weapon you own in your offhand, then use the key to enter your home. Use it again inside to return. Crafting requires 2 Amethyst Shards, 2 Paper, and 1 Ender Pearl.
• Maids can stroll, rest, and use supported Touhou Little Maid furniture at home, following their schedule and surroundings. When you return, your maid resumes from her previous location or appears beside furniture suited to her current activity.
• Added a personal booklet written by your maid, sharing her thoughts on spirit manifestation and your life together.
• Added EpicFight: Touhou Little Maid integration. Manifested maids automatically enter Epic Fight mode when you hold a supported melee contract weapon. Dedicated SlashBlade, magic, and gun integrations retain priority.

Improvements and Fixes

• Dedicated Contract Blades can form a contract directly with your own maid, without using the Contract Binding Table. Once bound, holding the blade in your main hand automatically manifests her.
• Contract Interiors now use Minecraft time by default, with a normal day-night cycle.
• Fixed an issue where interacting with a contract weapon inside an interior could unexpectedly return the player to the Overworld and cause the weapon to disappear.
• Maids keep their own equipment inside Contract Interiors instead of using equipment projections from outside. Equipping them or placing weapons and armor in their backpacks is restricted there to prevent item loss when leaving. Food and other ordinary items can still be stored.
• Fixed beds exploding inside Contract Interiors. Sleeping there does not overwrite your respawn point outside.
• Fixed maids repeatedly switching between ordinary combat and Epic Fight mode.
• Updated the Contract Heart Key texture and corrected the Contract Binding Table's inventory display angle and scale.
• Improved Contract Interior messages.

Integration Requirements

Epic Fight integration requires Epic Fight, EpicFight: Touhou Little Maid, and its required Avalon dependency. Contract Blade remains fully usable without these mods. Integration mods are not bundled with this release.
