Release v1.2.0

This update introduces significant improvements to entity handling and performance management. It enhances compatibility with various Java environments and provides new tools to customize how entities are managed in Superflat worlds.

Key Features

• Universal Entity Blacklist: You can now prevent specific entities from spawning in Superflat worlds. This allows you to block Magma Cubes or other modded entities alongside standard slimes.
• Performance Suite: Added a set of configurable options to manage entity impact:
  • maxSlimesPerChunk: Set a limit on the number of entities allowed per chunk.
  • slimeDespawnDistance: Controls the distance at which entities are despawned relative to the player.
  • reduceSlimeAI: Optimizes the AI of entities that are far from the player.
  • slimeUpdateFrequency: Allows control over how often entity logic updates to save CPU resources.

Compatibility and Fixes

• Entity Identification: Corrected an issue with entity detection logic in Minecraft 1.12.2 to ensure consistent behavior across different world setups.
• Memory Management: Optimized the transition between worlds to maintain a low memory footprint.
• Config Persistence: Improved the configuration saving system to ensure settings are applied and stored correctly.

Technical Optimizations

• Early-Exit Logic: The mod now identifies and stops unnecessary processes early, reducing CPU overhead when features are not in use.
• Efficient List Processing: Re-engineered the blacklist lookup system for faster entity identification.
• Code Sanitization: Cleaned up legacy code and removed redundant logic to improve internal efficiency.

Note: This version focuses on stability and customization. Please review your configuration files after updating as new options have been added.
