+Added a full growth progression: Egg → Grub → Baby Ravenous or Screecher → Grub → Ravenous

+Ravenous Eggs take 5 minutes to hatch and check for adjacent Meat Blocks on all 6 sides

+Covering 5 or more sides of an Egg with Meat Blocks now hatches a Grub

+Leaving 4 or fewer sides covered hatches a Screecher

+Added the Meat Block, crafted from 9 raw meats or fish, featuring custom honeycomb-style audio

+Grubs now feature 3 distinct stages lasting 1 minute and 40 seconds each (5 minutes total)

+Feeding raw meat to a Grub reduces the current stage duration by 25 seconds (4 items skips a stage)

+Feeding a Grub during all three stages yields a tamed Baby Ravenous

+Missing a feeding stage causes the Grub to inevitably mature into a hostile Ravenous

+Grubs originating from Screechers always grow into hostile Ravenous regardless of feeding

+Baby Ravenous defends its owner and attacks whatever the owner targets

+Baby Ravenous passively hunts small wild animals (defined via the #the_ravenous:baby_prey tag) while ignoring tamed and baby mobs

+Ravenous and Screechers now ignore the Baby Ravenous unless attacked first

+Sneak right-clicking a Baby Ravenous with an enchanted item disenchants it without cost

+Sneak right-clicking with a non-enchanted item recycles it, returning 50% of its crafting recipe ingredients after 4 seconds

+Right-clicking a Baby Ravenous with an empty hand toggles between Follow and Patrol modes

+Baby Ravenous gains unique echolocation mechanics: ignores crouching players and flees, trembles, or freezes in fear near adult Ravenous

+Screechers now automatically mutate into a Grub after 5 minutes instead of remaining permanently

+Added the Night Egg mechanic: sleeping through the night has a chance to replace a nearby animal with a Ravenous Egg (excluding cats, dogs, and babies)

+Rebuilt the Ravenous sound detection system; it now investigates the location of the noise rather than tracking player positions

+Added volume ratings and distance falloff brackets for player actions

+High-volume noises (6+ volume after falloff) trigger immediate direct charges and attacks

+Mid-volume noises (3–5 volume) make the Ravenous sprint to investigate, while low noises (1–2 volume) trigger walking investigation

+Sprinting noise is now evaluated twice per second rather than every game tick

+Standing on wool or carpets reduces generated noise volume by 3

+Breaking and placing wool or carpets is now completely silent

+Rain and thunderstorms dampen outgoing noise by 1 and 2 volume levels, respectively

+Dampening effects are nullified within a 4-block proximity

+Sneaking halves the passive detection proximity radius (from 4 blocks to 2; from 5 to 2.5 in phase 6)

+Creative and Spectator mode players are now completely silent to the Ravenous

+Ravenous now decays search interest by one level per second upon reaching an empty target spot

+Extracted the Scanner tool into the standalone Bio-Scanner mod dependency

+Existing Scanner items are automatically migrated without item loss

+Holding right-click functions like a spyglass with a 15-block scan range

+Scan duration now scales with distance (2.5s up to 5 blocks, 3.5s up to 10 blocks, 4.5s up to 15 blocks)

+Scanner now ignores non-mob entities like item frames, armor stands, and minecarts

+Scanning modded eggs, Grubs, or Screechers displays an evolution branch UI with stage-by-stage feeding trackers

+Scanning entities reveals health, speed, jump height, armor, damage, hostility status, maturation timers, breeding cooldowns, owner, and genetic variants

+Scanning plants and flora (174 supported blocks) displays growth progress, local light levels, and growth timers

+Repeated scans on the same species now complete in one-third of the initial time

+Added custom audio cues for scanner charging and completion

+Added /ravenous spawn <n> to control general spawn frequencies (0–400, default 100)

+Added /ravenous EggScreechGrubSpeed <n> to accelerate or freeze life cycle progression (0–25, default 1)

+Added /ravenous BabyGiveback <n> to configure material return percentages from Baby Ravenous recycling (0–100, default 50)

+Added /ravenous NightEgg <n> <c> <m> to configure night conversion odds, roll chance, and maximum affected animals

+Replaced /ravenous ScannerSpeed with the standalone /bioscanner speed <n> command

+The Ravenous scream now destroys torches, lanterns, glowstone, and amethyst clusters, dropping them as items

+The scream now extinguishes candles and campfires, knocks down glow berries, shatters glass without drops, and discharges respawn anchors

+Ravenous will now scream when exposed to light, night environments, or indoor spaces

+Removed the scream that occurred immediately prior to phase shifts

+Ravenous and Screechers no longer spawn on water surfaces

+Added 15 ticks of invulnerability when the Ravenous enters a new phase

+The pre-transformation roar is no longer protected, allowing players to interrupt and prevent phase shifts by dealing fatal damage

+Screechers are now immune to friendly Ravenous damage and shockwaves

+Screechers now actively escort their associated Ravenous

+Reorganized the Creative Tab into four distinct categories: Blocks, Crafting Ingredients, Tools, and Spawn Eggs

+Spawn eggs now follow chronological life cycle ordering

+Added unique spawn egg textures for individual Grub stages and the Baby Ravenous

+Scanner text lines now wrap dynamically on narrower displays

+Fixed an issue where Ravenous heartbeat audio multiplied when multiple players stood nearby

+Fixed an issue on dedicated servers where Anti-Ravenous stun animations looped indefinitely

+Fixed a half-second delay before the Anti-Ravenous stun visual effect appeared

+Fixed Screechers floating slightly above the ground during running animations

+Fixed a pathfinding bug causing the Ravenous to halt every block due to per-tick path requests

+Fixed the Ravenous running animation failing to trigger reliably

+Fixed Ravenous Eggs spawning in mid-air above non-solid blocks

+Fixed breaking a Ravenous Egg by hand awarding an incorrect advancement

+Fixed a hard crash when launching the mod without GeckoLib installed
