MCA: Mob Compat

0.2.0

A major compatibility update focused on Guard Villagers, MCA villagers, and better support for modded animals.

Added

• Guard Villagers can now function much more like proper MCA villagers while keeping their original guard appearance and combat behavior.
• Guards now support MCA relationships, personalities, hearts, families, village membership, and interactions such as chatting, gifting, hiring, marriage, adoption, and more.
• Full compatibility with MCA: Quests, MCA: Crime, MCA: Reputation, and MCA: Conversations.
• MCA villagers can now be recruited as guards without losing their existing identity, family, genetics, personality, or inventory.
• Guards now properly defend MCA villagers and avoid treating them as hostile targets.
• Added protection options to stop MCA hunting chores from killing owned, named, leashed, or otherwise protected animals.
• Improved support for modded livestock, pets, mounts, and NPCs from mods such as SWEM, Genetic Animals, and DragN's Livestock Overhaul.
• Added new diagnostic commands for checking guards, proxies, mounts, classifications, and compatibility status.

Improved

• Guard identities and relationships now use MCA's own systems instead of a separate imitation.
• Guard interactions now use MCA's normal interface for a more consistent experience.
• Improved guard appearance inside MCA: Conversations and MCA: Quests screens.
• Expanded animal and NPC classification for better cross-mod compatibility.
• Added additional configuration options for guard behavior and animal protection.

Fixed

• Prevented Guard Villagers from converting MCA villagers in ways that could destroy their family, relationship, genetics, personality, or inventory data.
• Fixed several compatibility assumptions involving MCA, SWEM, Genetic Animals, and Guard Villagers.
• Improved compatibility safeguards so optional mods remain optional and do not cause crashes when missing.
