🐾 Prosperity v1.3.0 — The Cat Knight & Whistle Update

Welcome to v1.3.0 of Prosperity for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge)! This landmark release brings full combat companion AI to your armored feline friends, the brand-new Cat Whistle tool, 20 survival crafting recipes, powerful armor and collar perks, and crucial village disaster fixes.

⚔️ What's New in v1.3.0:

🛡️ 1. The Cat Knight (Combat Companion AI)

• Battle Companion Transformation: Equipping a tamed cat with a full set of armor (Helmet/Hood + Body Armor + Paw Boots) awakens their inner warrior, transforming them into a courageous Cat Knight!
• Combat Artificial Intelligence:
  • Owner Defense: Immediately retaliates against any hostile mob that dares to strike the owner.
  • Attack Target Assist: Rushes into battle targeting whoever the owner attacks.
  • Self Defense: Retaliates against enemies attacking the cat.
  • Tactical Pounce: Sprints toward foes at 1.25x speed and performs an acrobatic leap-strike when 2 to 4 blocks away.
  • Target Safety Recognition: The Cat Knight never attacks friendly villagers, iron golems, village guards, village knights, other tamed pets, or the owner. Furthermore, cats deliberately do not attack creepers—they scare them away instead to prevent accidental explosions!
  • Claw Strike Damage (Material Scaling):
    • 🪵 Leather: 4.0 Attack Damage (2.0 hearts)
    • 🏜️ Desert / Taiga / Savanna: 5.0 Attack Damage (2.5 hearts)
    • 🌟 Gold: 5.4 Attack Damage (~2.7 hearts)
    • ⚔️ Iron: 6.6 Attack Damage (~3.3 hearts)
    • 💎 Diamond: 9.0 Attack Damage (4.5 hearts)
    • 🐾 Scratching Post Synergy: Sharpening claws on a Scratching Post adds a +3.0 Strength buff, boosting a Diamond Cat Knight's strikes up to a devastating 12.0 damage!
  • Vivid Audio-Visual Feedback: Ferocious feline hiss sound (CAT_HISS), sweeping claw strike particles (SWEEP_ATTACK), and critical sparks (CRIT).
  • Instant Rest Command: Right-clicking the cat commands it to sit, immediately stopping combat and returning it to a peaceful resting state.

📯 2. The Cat Whistle

• New Utility Tool: A crafted metal whistle with lanyard loop designed to command your feline companions from afar.
• Right-Click (Call All Cats):
  • Calls all of your tamed cats within a 32-block radius.
  • Any sitting cats stand up, receive a 12-second Speed II sprint boost, and rush straight to your coordinates!
  • Displays an action bar message: "X cats heard your call and are rushing to you!" accompanied by flute melodies, amethyst chimes, and floating music notes.
• Shift + Right-Click (Mass Command Mode):
  • All Sit: If any nearby cats are standing, commands all of them to sit down simultaneously (low flute chime & purrs).
  • Free Patrol: If all nearby cats are already sitting, commands all of them to stand up and patrol freely (high flute chime & cheerful purreows).
• Crafting Recipe: Shaped crafting with String (top) + 2 Iron Ingots (middle and bottom).

🔨 3. Full Survival Crafting Recipes (20 Shaped Recipes)

• All feline armor and accessory items are now fully craftable on the standard Crafting Table in Survival mode:
  • 6 Armor Sets: Leather, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Desert Linen, and Taiga Fur.
  • 3 Special Collars: Bell Collar, Amulet Collar, and Royal Collar.
  • Utility Gear: Cat Pouch (Chest + Leather) and Cat Whistle (String + Iron Ingots).

🐾 4. Gear Perks & Enchanted Collars

• 👢 Boots / Paws: 100% immunity to fall damage, cacti, sweet berry bushes, magma/hot floors, and stalagmites. Grants completely silent footsteps that never trigger sculk sensors or shriekers in the Deep Dark!
• 🔔 Bell Collar: Tinkles softly while walking. Warns the owner of approaching monsters in the dark by emitting an alert chime and outlining monsters with the Glowing effect.
• 🛡️ Amulet Collar (Totem of Undying for Cats): When taking lethal damage, the amulet shatters to save the cat's life, restoring 2 hearts and granting Regeneration, Resistance, Fire Resistance, and Invisibility while alerting the owner in chat.
• 👑 Royal Collar: Emits a royal aura providing the owner with the Hero of the Village effect (merchant trading discounts) while the cat is nearby.
• 💥 Defused Creeper Repel: Collars repel creepers at an extended range of 16–20 blocks and actively extinguish creeper swelling/hissing!

🏛️ 5. Disaster & Restoration System Fixes

• Resolved Infinite Sign Loop: Fixed a bug where damaged buildings recursively spawned towers of warning signs reaching the world ceiling.
• Clean Cordons: Caution tape and danger signs now cordon off damaged houses in a neat single perimeter.
• Complete Cleanup: Once a villager architect finishes restoration, the restoration bench, hazard tape, and warning signs are automatically and cleanly dismantled.
• Universal Fence Connectivity: Caution tape now properly connects to fences of any wood type (birch, oak, spruce, cherry, bamboo, etc.).

🌐 6. Complete Localization & Testing

• 100% Key Parity: Full synchronization across English US (en_us.json), English GB (en_gb.json), and Russian (ru_ru.json) with zero missing keys.
• Strict Code Quality: Zero Cyrillic characters in Java code.
• Automated GameTests & Unit Tests: Passed comprehensive test suite (CatKnightTest, LangParityTest, ProsperitySavedDataTest, PayloadCodecTest, and @GameTest verifying armor equipping, 80% damage reduction cap, and whistle registration).
