Changelog

All notable changes to the Hardcore Dynamic Maze mod will be documented in this file.

[1.4.0] - 2026-10-04

Added

• Fullscreen maze map: press N while carrying the enabled maze map inside a maze.
• Mouse wheel zoom, W/A/S/D panning, Space to reset the view, and N/Esc to close. The game continues while the map is open.
• Maze monsters are now named Minotaur, with a Piglin Brute body texture, a horned Ravager head, and a golden axe.
• Existing maze-tagged monsters are upgraded automatically. Maze settings, saved worlds, monster limits, and legacy command arguments remain compatible.

Fixed

• Numeric count fields remain visible in narrow controls. Max buttons collapse when space is limited; the smallest controls keep an editable number field.
• Replaced the per-frame maze block scan and individual block draw calls with a shared cached GPU texture.
• Map sampling checks loaded chunks only, runs at most once per game tick, and has a 1.5 ms / 4096-sample update budget. Completed snapshots refresh every five seconds.
• Previously explored areas remain visible when their chunks unload. Unexplored areas are gray, corridors dark blue, walls light, chests gold, and the player red.
• Removed duplicate legacy Forge client/HUD registrations and isolated client registration from dedicated servers.

Compatibility

• Updated all existing Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge source modules to mod version 1.4.0.
• Old modules now also have standalone Gradle settings, avoiding incompatible Loom versions in one build.
• Ordinary zombies retain their vanilla appearance and renderer.

Requires Minecraft 26.2 / forge.
