🛣️ EasyRoads v1.0 — Release Patch Notes

Platform: Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge 21.1.235+)
Version: 1.0.0 Release

🌟 Major Highlights

1. Interactive In-Game 3D Editor (F7)

• Procedural Bézier Curvature: Roads are generated along mathematically smoothed paths (Catmull-Rom to Cubic Bézier curves) with no jagged edges, diagonal artifacting, or unnatural 90° corners.
• Intuitive Controls:
  • LMB: Place anchor points directly onto world terrain.
  • Mouse Wheel: Smooth elevation adjustment for the selected point (\(Y\)-axis).
  • WASD / Arrow Keys: Fine-tune horizontal coordinates (\(XZ\)-plane).
  • Enter: Instant voxelization and road construction.
• Live 3D Preview: High-performance ribbon preview with dirty-flag mesh caching, face culling, and full shader support.

2. Full World Interaction & Existing Road Editing (V2 Architecture)

• Node Relocation: Grab and reposition any existing road anchor in the world; all connected segments are automatically recalculated and rebuilt (RevoxelizationManager).
• Clean Road Deletion: Remove built road segments in a single click with complete, seamless landscape restoration (soil, stone, grass).
• On-the-Fly Preset Switching: Change the style or cross-section of an already placed road without rebuilding it from scratch.
• Procedural Junctions & Roundabouts: Dynamic intersections supporting roads of varying widths, rounded curbs, custom islands, and multi-lane circular roundabouts (RoundaboutGenerator, JunctionGenerator).

3. Modular Road Preset Studio (Caps Lock)

• Full GUI Designer:
  • Modular profile stack: customizable sidewalks, directional curbs, driving lanes, solid/dashed/double markings, shoulders, and green dividers.
  • Interactive real-time 3D viewport inside the GUI with orbit camera controls.
  • Preset management: create, clone, rename, save, and delete custom profiles saved directly to config/roadbuilder/presets.json.

4. Terrain-Adaptive Generation

• Automatic Viaducts: Detects rivers, oceans, and chasms to generate support pillars, pier caps, and bridge beams.
• Mountain Tunnels: Automatically carves through mountains, clearing stone blocks and building reinforced parabolic arched vaults.
• Stepped Slopes & Embankments: Procedural 2:1 stepped retaining walls on inclines and sturdy earthen embankments across valleys.
• Vegetation Clearing: Cleans up tree trunks, leaves, flowers, and grass along the road corridor prior to paving.

5. Networking, Sync & Safety

• Multiplayer Ready: Complete client-server architecture with dedicated NeoForge custom payloads (S2C_SyncFullGraphPayload, S2C_SyncRoadSegmentPayload).
• Lossless Undo: Full support for Ctrl+Z and /road undo backed by block snapshot history, cleanly restoring the original environment.
