Simplexium

[1.9.0-rc1] - 2026-02-27

i am a bit late, but still.

in version 1.9.0 i added a few features, and an in-game config. requires no dependencies! besides that, the biggest code rewrite in the entire history happened.

this update is quite stable, but is a release candidate.

the next update (stable release or rc2) is in 5-6-7 days (31st-1st-2nd).

added

• camera: photo mode. lots of filters for beautiful screenshots;
  • can be configured in the config and via keybinds;
• "easy config": yes, config. right inside the game;
  • you can access it via Mods -> Simplexium -> Config.
  • both from the main menu and during gameplay.
• harvesting: you can get a bonus for harvesting with a hoe. harvesting by hand gives a 25% drop penalty. even harvesting with a wooden hoe will let you harvest with 100% efficiency. hoes are not useless!
  • can be toggled on/off in the config;

changed

• tree chopping: the algorithm became much smarter. it doesn't touch neighboring trees, so they won't be left naked. at least in 99% of cases;
• block search: rewrote the bfs search for ores and trees. the algorithm no longer creates garbage in memory;
• fast ladders: the sliding vector is now cached. again, less garbage;

fixed

• tree cache: the cache from v1.8.3 was global for the whole server. now it's unique for each tree block;
• auto-eat: if there was no food, the mod scanned all 36 slots 20 times a second. a 2 second pause was added (configurable!);
• auto-refill: the item returned to the hand if moved elsewhere while the inventory was open. i made it so the cache clears when closing any gui (for example, the inventory, because that's where i saw this bug);
