Fantasy Mounts 2.1.0

The Frost Drake is here, with a World Settings panel for your own world, mounts that stay where you leave them and the Emerald Dragonfly's new hunt.

New mounts

• Frost Drake: a four-legged ice drake that flies with two riders; its breath slows creatures and freezes the water it blows over.

Changes

• World Settings. In single player, or in a world you've opened to LAN, change every setting of the mod in game: rules, spawn rates, each mount's stats, abilities and skills, with a search and a note on what each one does. Open it from the mod's settings in the mod list, from the Riders Encyclopedia or your profile, or bind it a key. Each world keeps its own settings (on 1.20.1 Fabric and Quilt, a change reaches every world, and the panel says so).
• Mounts stay where you leave them. A mount told to stay with its whistle now keeps near that spot (8 blocks by default, a setting) and walks back if it strays. A following mount keeps to heel behind you instead of wandering into you.
• Tamed mounts can be made immortal. A new server setting, off by default: while it is on, nothing kills a tamed mount (an operator's /kill still does), and one that falls into the void comes back. Wild mounts stay mortal.
• The Emerald Dragonfly hunts on the wing. Snatch (level 10) grabs the creature you aim at, carries it off and drops it; Glasswing Flash (level 18) dazzles, blinds and slows the monsters around. They replace Hawking Dive and Wing Thrum. A snatch never takes a player, a villager or another player's pet where PvP is off.
• Blossom Berries. Cherry groves now grow Blossom Berry bushes. A wild Kitsune takes them as it does Sweet Berries, and they count for Ren's offering; bees grow them and composters take them.
• Spawn rates up to five times as many. The spawn rate settings now go up to 5, for the whole world and for each mount, and scale what spawns by their value. On Forge and NeoForge, spawn and claim mods have their say on every mount that spawns. A mount a server keeps out of the wild says so in the Riders Encyclopedia.
• Silent Steps keeps sculk quiet. Sculk sensors and wardens no longer hear the Frost Sabrecat, Jackalope, Kitsune or Qilin walk, swim or land.
• Everyone on a server needs 2.1.0: a server and its players update together.

Balance

• Emerald Dragonfly: the Hunt path now strengthens Snatch (reach, how long it holds its catch, bigger prey, harder bites), Prism Wings (once Thrumming Wings) makes the flash reach further with a shorter cooldown, and Hawker's Strike flings the catch down and mends the dragonfly on the wing.

Fixes

• The level number now sits in the middle of its medal on the riding HUD and the profile.

Worlds carry over: the Emerald Dragonfly's Thrumming Wings is now Prism Wings, and its ranks come with it.

Thanks

Thank you to every Trailblazer who playtested the Frost Drake in early access.
