Peon

Peon 1.4.1 — the world update

An idle mining game that runs inside Minecraft. You get a plot, a rock face and a pickaxe; everything else you build.

New in this build

• Fabric API is bundled. Drop the jar in mods/ and play — nothing else to install.
• A hand-painted look. A sky with a soft sun, drifting clouds and high cirrus; warm colour grading with distance haze, a glow on lanterns and a light vignette; cartoon water in turquoise bands with foam crests; light drifting over grass and fir needles; the block you aim at lights up instead of showing a thin black outline. All of it switches off from the pause menu.
• Grass grows over its neighbours. Dirt, paths, gravel and moss get a tongue of grass on every side touching a lawn — no more checkerboard.
• The Alley train. A four-wagon convoy pulls in every three minutes, waits twenty seconds and leaves. Board it to travel: the avenue, the podium, your own mine, or any neighbour's plot.
• A smaller HUD built from the interface kit's own plates, and every gain now floats up above the counter as it is paid.
• A rank strip above the hotbar: your grade, your rebirths, your shafts.
• Disconnect screens worth reading. Eight cases — banned, kicked, server full, restarting, wrong version, lost link, modified client — each with its own emblem and what to do next. Full and restarting retry on their own.
• Chat: a coloured edge on system lines and mentions, an unread count on the system tab.

Fixed and hardened

• The shop crashed the client when opened. It is also three columns now.
• Two commands were open to everyone and could be repeated for free money.
• Reconnecting in a loop no longer rebuilds ten thousand blocks each time.
• Connection flood protection. A burst of fake logins is turned away at the door, per address and overall, and told to come back in a moment.
• A modified client that floods the server is dropped, then disconnected with a reference code it can quote.
• The flood guard's own settings were skipped when Peon loaded before its watcher — they are now applied when the server starts, every time.
