Changelog for Neoforge EverCrops 1.21.1

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[3.3.0] - 2026-5-2

Added

• Catch-up growth for saplings — oak, birch, spruce, jungle, acacia, dark oak, cherry, mangrove, and any modded sapling that extends SaplingBlock. Uses the vanilla two-stage STAGE property (0 → 1 → tree). Light check uses sky+block light on the block above (matching vanilla). After a successful tree grow, the CropState entry is removed and vanilla's randomTick is cancelled to prevent overwriting the new tree structure.
• saplingCropsEnabled server config flag (default true) — disable to opt out of sapling catch-up while keeping other categories active.
• ModEvents placement/break tracking extended to cover saplings.

Fixed

• Removed invalid INVOKE inject from KelpBlockMixin — GrowingPlantHeadBlock.randomTick does not directly call setBlockAndUpdate in its bytecode (1.21.1), causing a critical injection failure at startup. The HEAD inject alone is sufficient for kelp catch-up.

[3.2.0] - 2026-4-27

Added

• Catch-up growth for sugar cane — AGE 0–15, spawns new cane above when AGE wraps, max column height 3, no light requirement.
• Catch-up growth for cactus — AGE 0–15, same wrapping pattern as sugar cane, max column height 3.
• Catch-up growth for kelp — AGE 0–25, each growth step places a new kelp head above (converting the old head to a kelp plant body), stops at AGE 25. Growth gated at ~14% per tick (mirroring vanilla probability).
• ModEvents placement/break tracking extended to cover sugar cane, cactus, and kelp.

[3.1.0] - 2026-4-26

Added

• Catch-up growth for sweet berry bushes — ages 0–3, requires light level ≥ 9 (matches vanilla).
• Catch-up growth for nether wart — ages 0–3, no light requirement.
• Catch-up growth for cocoa pods — ages 0–2, no light requirement.
• New CropCatchUp helper class consolidating the timing/threshold/light-gating logic shared by the new mixins.

Changed

• ModEvents placement/break tracking generalized via a single isTracked(BlockState) guard now covering crops, stems, sweet berry bushes, nether wart, and cocoa pods.

[3.0.0] - 2026-4-25

Added

• /evercrops simulate <ticks> command — backdates all tracked crop entries in the current dimension by the given number of ticks, allowing offline-growth logic to be triggered immediately on the next random tick. Useful for testing.
• /evercrops tick <radius> command — forces a randomTick on every tracked crop block within the given radius of the player, applying growth instantly without waiting for random tick scheduling.
• /evercrops inspect [x y z] command — displays the stored CropState for a block position (defaults to the player's feet), including call/growth deltas and whether offline growth would trigger on the next tick.

Changed

• Replaced RocksDB persistence with Minecraft's built-in SavedData system. Crop state is now stored as NBT in <world>/data/evercrops.dat per dimension — no native libraries, no manual lifecycle management, and no platform-specific binaries required.

Fixed

• Fixed crash (IllegalArgumentException: Cannot get property age) caused by mods that extend CropBlock or StemBlock but register blocks (e.g. minecraft:oxeye_daisy) whose StateDefinition does not include the standard age property. The mixin now guards all age-property access and skips incompatible blocks silently.
