Lycanite Delight

[0.2.0] - 2026-07-07

Correctness and loop-closing release: every mechanic the mod advertises now actually runs. Targets unchanged (MC 1.20.1 / Forge 47.2.20 / Java 17, Lycanites Mobs 0.0.9-alpha, Farmer's Delight 1.3.2). All item and registry ids are unchanged — existing worlds are safe.

Fixed

• Butchery never fired. Lycanites 0.0.9-alpha rolls creature drops through its own JSON drop system and never queries vanilla loot tables, so the global-loot-modifier approach could never trigger. Butchery is reimplemented on LivingDeathEvent (which Lycanites does fire): a direct player kill with a knife (forge:tools/knives) drops a quality-graded cut (same ld_quality NBT) plus the per-species byproduct.
• lycanitesmobs dependency range rejected the pinned version — [0.0.9,) excludes 0.0.9-alpha under maven pre-release ordering; now [0.0.9-alpha,).
• Veshoney Glaze was unobtainable in survival, which made the Seashell Maki recipe uncraftable. It can now be cut from Veswax (2 per block) or butchered from Vespids (35%).
• Elemental palate reset on death — it now lives under the PlayerPersisted NBT sub-tag and survives respawn and end-portal travel.
• Disabling showButcheryTooltips hid every tooltip (flavor and palate lines included). Each tooltip block now has its own toggle; flavor lines get a new showFlavorTooltips.
• Butchery byproduct chance is clamped at 100% (knifeLootMultiplier could previously push it past guaranteed); the multiplier documentedly affects byproducts only.
• Inedible ingredients (Veshoney Glaze, Venom Reduction) no longer sit in cuisine tags advertising palate they can never build.
• attunementThresholdT2 below T1 no longer produces inconsistent tiers (clamped, warned).
• tools/validate_recipe_ids.py knew zero cross-mod ids without the .ld-depbuild source checkouts; it now falls back to reading item models from the pinned localdeps/ jars.

Added

• All seven elements now have an attunement payoff (previously only Fire/Frost): Water resists drowning; Shadow resists withering (lycanitesdelight:is_shadow damage-type tag: wither + wither skull); Swarm resists stings (is_swarm: sting); Toxin shrugs off the poison effect (T2 always, T1 half the time); Verdant pulses slow regeneration while hurt. Both new damage-type tags are datapack-overridable. Palate tooltips now name each payoff.
• Event platters grant their counter-buffs: Emberguard Roast → Fire Resistance 4:00, Stormwatch Chowder → Water Breathing 4:00, Nightwatch Custard → Night Vision 4:00, Plague Doctor's Broth → cleanses poison/wither + Regeneration 0:15. Buffs honor enableEventPlatters, a shared bossFoodCooldownSeconds re-buff cooldown, and the foodEffectStackingMode harmonizer; nutrition always applies. Eating returns the bowl.
• well_fed does something: a gentle hunger trickle (1 point / 5s, scaling with level). Eating a Prime cut grants 30s, a Pristine cut 60s at level II (replaces the old invisible 1-tick Saturation blip).
• Four advancements: Field Dressing, Stockmaker, Elemental Palate, Set the Table.
• Diet bridge covers all ten Lycanites diets — adds geovore_fd (amethyst, quartz) and insectivore_fd (concapede segment) — plus the spec'd favorites/vespid tag.
• Vespid butchery entry (insect-family cut + Veshoney Glaze byproduct).
• Tooltip hints for platter buffs (showEventFoodHints) and creature favorite foods on any mod's items (showCreatureFoodHints) — both options previously did nothing.
• Butchery quality jitter now scales with Looting (15% + 10% per level).

Changed

• Attunement pacing matches the design spec: decay defaults to 0.1/s (a full palate fades over ~20 minutes instead of 2), and gain scales with the meal's nutrition — attunementGainPerNutrition (default 4.0) replaces the flat attunementPerMeal.
• Cutting recipes accept knives by farmersdelight:tool_action (knife_dig) or the forge:tools/knives tag — the same OR shape Farmer's Delight's own recipes use, so tool-action-only modded knives now work.
• Butchery knife-tier grading uses TierSortingRegistry (correctly slots modded knife tiers) instead of the deprecated harvest-level int.
• enableEventPlatters moved from the world config group into balance.

Removed

• The ten butchery_* global loot modifiers and their serializer (never functional — see Fixed; superseded by the kill-event handler). Removal is world-safe.
• Nine server config options that were read by no code and silently did nothing (enableDietTagBridge, enableTreatRecipes, enablePetFoodBridge, enableHorseFeedBridge, enableKitchenWarmth, enableCropSpawnerCompatibility, richSoilSprigganChanceMultiplier, stovesTriggerFireSpawners, enableDungeonFoodLoot). They return with their features. Note the diet-tag bridge is static tag data — retune it via datapack, not config.
• The unused FoodTier enum.
