LevelZ+ 2.0.0

A major modular rework and consolidation release for Minecraft 1.20.1.

Major changes:

• Consolidated LevelZ+, LevelZ Tom’s Simple Storage Compat, and LevelZ Combat Compat into one modular JAR.
• Added a new Small Ships 2.0 Dockyard compatibility module.
• LevelZ is now the only required gameplay-mod dependency.
• Tom’s Simple Storage, Better Combat, Spell Engine, and Small Ships are optional modules that activate only when their target mod is installed and the module is enabled.
• Preserved the existing LevelZ+ stat-integration balance from the previous release.

Small Ships:

• Dockyard construction now checks the normal LevelZ crafting requirement of the selected wood-specific ship item.
• Ship progression remains fully controlled by LevelZ restriction data rather than hard-coded Java levels.
• Construction is blocked before the build begins if the requirement is not met.
• Added configurable denial messages.
• Added configurable fail-open behavior.
• Added addon ship-item override support.

Tom’s Simple Storage

• Folded the standalone compatibility mod into LevelZ+.
• Tom’s Storage Crafting Terminals continue to respect LevelZ crafting requirements.
• Fixed module activation during 2.0 development so Crafting Terminal restrictions cannot be bypassed.

Better Combat / Spell Engine:

• Folded the standalone combat compatibility mod into LevelZ+.
• Better Combat off-hand and custom attack paths continue to respect LevelZ hand-use restrictions.
• Spell Engine casting and spell release continue to respect LevelZ hand-use restrictions.
• Better Combat and Spell Engine can be enabled independently.

Configuration:

• Replaced the old minimal JSON configuration with the annotated:

config/levelz_plus.properties

• Added independent module toggles.
• Added general.debug=false diagnostic mode.
• Added clear Small Ships compatibility controls.
• Existing stat values are automatically migrated from the old levelz_plus.json when possible.
• Config changes require a restart.

Migration:

When installing 2.0, remove the old standalone:

• LevelZ Tom’s Simple Storage Compat
• LevelZ Combat Compat
• Previous LevelZ+ JAR

Do not run the standalone compatibility JARs alongside LevelZ+ 2.0.
