SableCraft Cast

1.1.0 — 2026-09-21

• Fix: exposed NPCs were flatly ignored by monsters in play -- setTarget from outside the AI loses to the mob's own targeting goal re-evaluating and clearing it. Now a real goal in the mob's own target selector, arbitrated the same way as its other targeting goals.

• Provoke: a real hit on a monster currently after an exposed NPC turns it on the hitter for motion.threatSeconds, so a player can pull it off the NPC on purpose; it reverts to the NPC on its own once the window lapses with no further hit.

• Fix: a monster could never be pointed at a FakePlayer-backed target (every human-kind NPC, and anything standing in for a player) -- newer Minecraft's Mob#setTarget silently refuses an invulnerable target, and FakePlayer's own constructor makes every one invulnerable from birth. Exposure now clears it on whatever it exposes, body or human.

• Fix: two followers of the same leader stood on top of each other. Each now holds a stable slot beside the leader, with a small per-NPC pace variance.

• Swing: Cast.swing(server, npc, hand) -- a one-shot gesture for a scripted scene (a blacksmith striking an anvil, a guard warning somebody off). Works on either kind: a mob body under the same vanilla call any mob would use, a human phantom through the same per-viewer packet push everything else about it already goes through, since it has no ordinary entity tracker to broadcast one on its own. Raised by the LegendQuest/StoryTeller session (/st swing), which could reach mob bodies already but had no way to reach a phantom.

• Following: Cast.follow(server, npc, leader, leaseTicks) walks the trail the leader walked, stops short, catches up, and lets go when the lease is not renewed. /cast follow, /cast follow stop. For Chronicler's escort quests.

• Walking: Cast.walkTo goes to a point on foot and stands there, anchored.

• Lurking: /cast lurk door and Cast.setLurk -- the caged zombie. Hides at the back, groans when someone is near, now and then rushes the door, hammers on it and slinks back. Saved with the NPC.

• Hits: NpcHitEvent for every blow on an NPC (still no damage), and Cast.expose -- leased -- sets nearby monsters on an NPC so an escort can be in danger. motion.lureRadius.

• Config motion.walkSpeed, motion.rushSpeed, motion.followTeleport, motion.lurkGrowlChance.

• Bodies land on a block's shape (a slab, a snow layer, a path), not on the block above it; a drop under 0.6 settles silently, only a real fall gets the gag.

• A spawn handed a Y inside the ground is raised out of it before it is stored, so nothing is ever buried and a possessor is never shoved sideways.

• The invisible armour-stand proxy is gone: armour stands block nothing in 1.21.11 (measured by the LegendQuest session), so it was an entity per phantom for no effect. Old proxies are reaped on sight.
