Kinetic Currents

[1.0.0] - 2026-10-15

Initial Release — Atmospheric Currents & Kinetic Ley-Lines

• Atmospheric Wind Vector Field:
  • Deterministic 3D macro wind vector field generated from world seed, spatial coordinates, time of day, and altitude gradient.
  • Integration into LivingEntity.travel(Vec3) during Elytra gliding (isFallFlying).
  • Dynamic Thermal Updrafts over hot biomes (Desert, Badlands, Nether), mountain slopes (> Y=110), and direct heat emitters (Lava, Magma Block, Campfires).
  • Swoop-Dive Kinetic Physics: Converts steep descent momentum into forward and climbing thrust upon pitch pull-up.
• Tactical Elytra Firework Rebalance:
  • Intercepts FireworkRocketItem.use while gliding, enforcing a 12-second (240 ticks) cooldown.
  • Provides smooth initial propulsion impulse instead of endless spam.
• Terrestrial Kinetic Ley-Lines:
  • Multi-frequency ridge corridors forming energetic ribbons along rivers, valleys, and tunnels.
  • Accelerates Minecarts, Horses, and Boats smoothly by 300%–400% (smooth acceleration).
  • Provides Kinetic Collision Shielding (immune to fly_into_wall, fall, and in_wall impact damage while traveling within active ley-lines).
• Mag-Lev Rails & Converter Workstation:
  • Added kinetic_currents:mag_rail — frictionless levitation rails maintaining cart speed caps up to 3.2 blocks/tick without needing redstone torches.
  • Added kinetic_currents:mag_rail_converter — functional workstation block transmuting vanilla rails into Mag-Lev Rails using Copper, Redstone, and Amethyst.
• Tactile Instruments:
  • Added kinetic_currents:ley_compass — detects nearby ley-line resonance strength and distance in blocks.
  • Added kinetic_currents:wind_gauge — displays real-time atmospheric wind velocity (km/h), cardinal heading, and thermal updraft status.
• Multi-Version & Multi-Loader Architecture:
  • Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge builds supporting Minecraft 1.11.2 through 1.26.3 and 26.3.
  • Fully packaged into mod release, mod-release, mod_releases, and mod-releases.
