JEG 1.8.1 Changelog (workspace total)

Date: 2026-09-22
Version: 1.8.1
Loaders: Fabric / NeoForge · Minecraft 1.21.1, 26.2, and 26.3

This is the combined 1.8.1 release note. Each maintained branch also has the entry at the top of its own CHANGELOG.md.

Previous feature notes stay in 1.8.0-changelog.md. The interim local label “1.8.1” mentioned there was kill-credit work that shipped inside 1.8.0. This file is the public 1.8.1 release.

Fixed

Dedicated server startup

MonitorItem kept a constant-pool reference to client-only net.minecraft.client.Minecraft. On a dedicated server that class is stripped, so item registration failed with NoClassDefFoundError: net/minecraft/client/player/LocalPlayer and the server never reached Done.

The distance line now lives in client-only MonitorDistanceTooltip.

Config menu and config commands

ServerConfigOptions checked a hardcoded list size while the class was initializing. The real list is 15 gunner growth types × 18 settings, plus 19 non-growth options (20 on NeoForge 1.21.1, which also has ui.hideMedals). The old assertion expected 291, or 292 on NeoForge 1.21.1.

The first use of that class then crashed the server tick:

• Opening the pause-menu config sends jeg:open_server_config.
• Gunner growth commands such as /justEnoughGuns config mob spawn <type> <setting> [value] read the same option list.

Both paths are fixed on all six maintained branches. The expected size is computed from the growth lists plus the non-growth count for that branch.

Verification

.\gradlew runServer reached Done on every maintained branch:

Fabric 26.2 still logs a recipe parse error for jeg:recipe/javelin_missile.json (jeg:javelin_missile is not a registered item id in that file). The server continues past it.
