  • Planting Compatibility: Configured Sift plants so they can be placed on both custom Sift soils (sculk_grass_block, light_sculk_grass_block) and vanilla grass/dirt blocks.
  • Flora Textures & Cutouts: Added custom textures for grass and double-tall grass (top/bottom) with transparency cutouts properly rendered on the cutout render layer.
  • Loot & Drop Tables: Full survival drop tables added for sculk_grass, tall_sculk_grass, sculk_grass_block, and light_sculk_grass_block.
  • Block & Tool Tags:
    • Configured minecraft:mineable/pickaxe and minecraft:sword_efficient tags.
    • Added Sift terrain blocks to minecraft:animals_spawnable_on.

🏝️ Worldgen & Biomes

  • New Floating Islands Biome: Added and weighted the sift:sift_floating_islands biome directly into the Sift dimension multi-noise biome pool.
  • Thicker Floating Islands & Terrain Smoothing: Tuned 3D noise router settings to produce thicker, more navigable floating landmasses, sweeping hill contours, and gradual slopes rather than sheer vertical cuts.
  • Vegetation Scattering: Configured natural noise-based feature placement for short and tall sculk grass patches across both standard Sift terrain and floating islands.
  • Island Flora: Added placement features for hanging floating island vines.
  • Atmospheric Tuning: Adjusted water colors and biome atmospheric tinting across Sift dimensions.

🛠️ Fixes & Technical Improvements

  • Worldgen IntProvider Fix: Corrected nested/flat IntProvider formatting in sculk_grass.json and tall_sculk_grass.json placed features to prevent worldgen loading crashes.
  • Build & Packaging: Version incremented and built cleanly as 1.0.1.5 under Fabric Loom on Minecraft 1.21.1.
