Footblock Ultimate

[0.0.10-ALPHA] - 2026-06-03

This is the initial alpha release of Footblock Ultimate, the next-generation sequel to the original Footblock mod.

🚀 Added Features

• Voxel Voxel-Sphere Ball: Spawns a programmatically constructed 3D blocky sphere football that fits perfectly into the Minecraft vanilla aesthetic.
• Tactile Dribbling System: Walk up to the ball to automatically attach it to your feet. The ball tracks your player movements smoothly, rolling visually based on physical velocity.
• Charged Power Shots: Hold down Left-Click (Attack Key) while dribbling to charge up a kick from 0% to 100%. Releasing triggers a fast client-side prediction kick followed by server verification.
• Sporty Power Shot HUD: Dynamically renders a sleek power charge bar on the player's screen directly below the crosshair, indicating current kick power.
• Realistic Voxel Physics: The football supports custom physics, including gravity, ground friction, and collision responses. It bounces realistically off walls, ceilings, floors, and surrounding blocks.
• Cooperative & Competitive Steals: Other players can steal the ball by walking into it. Built-in 10-tick (0.5 second) anti-oscillation cooldowns prevent stuttering during steal interactions.
• Survival Gameplay:
  • Right-Click the football item on blocks to spawn the ball entity.
  • Right-Click the ball entity to pick it up and return it to your inventory.
• Custom Sound Effects: Replaced vanilla slime block noises with 3 custom kick audio variations. A random sound is selected on every kick, playing with dynamic pitch shifting corresponding to the shot's charged power.
• Visual Assets:
  • Designed a premium vector SVG mod icon featuring the voxel ball on a dark green sporty shield with golden dashed rings.
  • Implemented automated headless Chrome rendering of the SVG logo to produce root-level icon.png and curseforge_icon.png files.
• Information Hubs: Included a premium CurseForge layout description in CURSEFORGE.md.

🔧 Fixes & Adjustments

• Shot Re-attachment Lock: Implemented a 15-tick (0.75-second) kick cooldown where the player's feet collision check is temporarily ignored, preventing the ball from instantly re-attaching when running forward during a kick.
• Mod Menu Icons: Fixed the Fabric and NeoForge in-game mod list logos by relocating the icon.png to the root of the resources directory so that they package directly into the JAR root classpath.
