Changelog

2.0.1 — Crossbreeding actually works

2.0.0 was never published. This is the first public 2.x release, so everything listed under 2.0.0 below is new to you as well — the multiloader rewrite, the quality system, drying and curing, the rolling table, butter, filter tips, the trader villager, the advancements and the Jade/JEI/EMI support. Read both sections.

Growing

• Crossbreeding was effectively broken. It rolled a 12% chance on every random tick, and a given block only gets a random tick about once a minute, so a single quality step took around ten minutes of pure luck with nothing to show for it. Plants now schedule their own upgrade attempt at a set, slightly randomised time — one minute to reach Premium, two for Primo, three for Legendary. It is saved with the world and no longer depends on randomTickSpeed.
• Primo and Legendary now require an indoor grow: no open sky above the plant, and a grow lamp within range. Normal → Premium still works in an ordinary outdoor field. A plant that does not qualify keeps trying, so you can build the room later without replanting.
• Plants get visibly taller with quality — Normal one block, Legendary nearly two — so you can read a field at a glance.
• Quality colouring is much subtler. Full recolouring turned high-quality plants purple and orange, which stopped looking like cannabis; now it is a tint over the original green.
• Upgrading now has a visible burst of particles over the whole plant, bigger the higher the quality, with an extra flourish for Legendary.

Grow Lamp

• Rebuilt as a real UV grow panel: a custom hanging model with a heat sink, a recessed board of 49 diodes, and a magenta haze drifting down onto the crops. It shows the 3D model in the inventory.
• Note that Minecraft has no coloured block light, so the light it casts is still white. The haze is the closest a mod can get without shaders.

Fixes

• Mature plants changed silhouette on ripening. Growth stages used the cross model while the ripe stage used the four-plane wheat model.
• Jade now says why a plant has stopped improving, instead of only saying it can improve.
• JEI and EMI have a crossbreeding entry. It was the one mechanic that happens on its own, with nothing to click, and so the easiest to never discover.
• The bundled LICENSE file said CC0 while the mod metadata declared CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. The licence is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.

Config

• crossbreedChance is gone, replaced by crossbreedDelayTicks (default 1200, one minute). Old config files keep working; the stale key is ignored.

2.0.0 — Multiloader rewrite (never published)

HighCraft now runs on both Fabric and NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1, from a single shared codebase. One jar per loader, no extra libraries to install.

Growing

• Plant quality is now a real system. A mature plant next to another mature plant of equal or better quality can improve over time, so you work your way up Normal → Premium → Primo → Legendary instead of relying on luck.
• Seeds inherit their plant's quality, so a good genetic line is yours to keep. Harvest a plant early and you only get a plain seed back.
• Grow Lamp: speeds up nearby crops and emits light, so you can farm underground. Works on vanilla crops too.

Drying and curing

• Where you put the drying rack matters. In direct sunlight it dries fast but each step risks losing quality; in the shade it is slower and preserves it.
• Over-drying: leave it unattended once it is done and it degrades.
• Curing Barrel: rest dried marijuana for a day and it comes out one quality better. Caps at Primo — Legendary only comes from crossbreeding.

Preparing

• Rolling Table: 3 joints per unit instead of 2, and you can mix qualities for an average result. Shows the loaded paper and herb on the table.
• Cannabis Butter: cook dried marijuana in a water cauldron placed over fire, then bake it into brownies and cookies.
• Filter Tips: hold one in your off hand while smoking for a shorter but much gentler high.
• The wood pipe is now loaded explicitly and shows what quality it holds.

Effects

• Comedown when the high wears off, and extra penalties once your tolerance gets high.
• Screen tint while high, greener and stronger the purer the strain.
• Tolerance is shown in the action bar as you consume.

Quality of life

• Cannabis Trader villager with a five-level trade list, working at a drying rack.
• 8 advancements guiding you from first seed to a legendary strain.
• Jade, JEI and EMI support (all optional): block state at a glance, and a recipe category explaining every process that is not a vanilla recipe.
• Cannabis is compostable.
• Configurable in config/highcraft.json.
• Spanish (Spain) and Latin American Spanish are now distinct translations.

Fixes

• Tolerance never worked. It was written to a throwaway NBT tag, so it always read 0 and the high always lasted the same.
• Edibles used a real-time background thread, which ignored game pause and could fire after leaving the world.
• Bong smoke particles were invisible to everyone, and the bong ignored the quality you loaded it with.
• The drying rack and bong blocked skylight as if they were solid cubes.
• 15 of 28 textures were 1×1 pixel placeholders — the blunt, bong, pipe, drying rack, brownies and every premium and primo variant. All redrawn.
• The High effect had no icon and showed the missing-texture placeholder.
• Finished products now stack to 16 instead of 64.
