MCA Bewitchment Compat

MCA Bewitchment Compat 1.0.2 — MCA Reborn Compatibility & Persistence Update

MCA Reborn 7.7.1-alpha.2 Compatibility

• Updated the addon to support the new internal package structure introduced in MCA Reborn 7.7.1-alpha.2 for Minecraft 1.20.1.
• Updated references to MCA classes affected by the package changes, including VillagerEntityMCA and AgeState.
• Fixed startup crashes caused by the addon still referencing classes from the previous MCA Reborn package structure.

Transformed Villager Persistence

• Added persistent storage for MCA villagers while they are transformed into Bewitchment vampires or werewolves.
• Transformed villagers can now safely survive server restarts, world reloads and unexpected shutdowns without losing their original MCA data.
• The original villager's NBT and identity are preserved until the MCA villager has been successfully restored.
• Added safeguards so persistent backup data is not deleted if restoration fails.

Death & Tombstone Fixes

• Fixed transformed MCA villagers not being properly processed by MCA when their vampire/werewolf form dies.
• Fatal damage to a transformed villager is now transferred back to the original VillagerEntityMCA, allowing MCA's native death system to handle the death.
• Fixed dead villagers being immediately transformed back into vampires/werewolves during the night.
• Added validation preventing dead, removed or otherwise invalid MCA villagers from being selected for transformation.
• Added integration with MCA's native GraveyardManager so graves assigned by MCA are correctly detected, including graves located away from the exact death position.
• Added a safe MCA tombstone fallback when MCA does not provide a usable grave.
• Added duplicate-grave protection so the fallback does not create another tombstone when MCA has already assigned one.
• Transformed villagers stored in MCA tombstones remain compatible with MCA's resurrection mechanics.

MCA Relationship & Data Preservation Fixes

• Improved preservation of MCA relationship, family and memory data when reconstructing a villager from its transformed state.
• Improved NBT handling when restoring VillagerEntityMCA instances.
• Added additional UUID and entity-state safeguards during restoration and death processing.
• Fixed issues encountered during transformed-villager death/resurrection testing where relationship heart values could become invalid.

Diagnostics

• Added detailed diagnostic logging for transformed MCA villagers.
• Diagnostic logs can track UUIDs, family relationships, relationship state, player memories, heart values and important transformation/death/restoration stages.
• This is intended to make future compatibility issues with MCA Reborn significantly easier to diagnose.

Important MCA Reborn Version Notice

This update targets MCA Reborn 7.7.1-alpha.2 for Minecraft 1.20.1 and its new internal code/package structure.

At the time this update was published, MCA Reborn 7.7.1-alpha.2 is available on Modrinth, while CurseForge still lists MCA Reborn 7.7.0-beta.2 as the latest available MCA Reborn release for Minecraft 1.20.1.

Because of the internal changes between these MCA versions, MCA Bewitchment Compat 1.0.2 is intended for the newer 7.7.1-alpha.2-compatible MCA codebase.

Users who remain on MCA Reborn 7.7.0-beta.2 should continue using the previous compatible version of MCA Bewitchment Compat.

The newer MCA Reborn build may also be published on CurseForge later.

Compatibility

• Minecraft: 1.20.1
• Mod Loader: Fabric
• Java: 17
• MCA Reborn: 7.7.1-alpha.2
