Changes

API

• Performed a general cleanup across the entire mod, bringing it in line with modern modding practices
• Added SmartBrainBuilder and extracted the various Brain-construction methods to it. SmartBrainOwner extends it by default, but extracting it now means you can have an external class contain your AI implementation if wanted with minimal additional effort
• Added BehaviourUtil - a helper class for BehaviorControl related methods
• Added ExtendedBehaviour#tryExpire - a method to allow for graceful expiration of behaviours when switching Activities
• Added ExtendedSensor#onlyScanIf - an optional condition for sensors to only scan if the condition is met
• Users no longer need to tick the brain, SBL ticks it automatically for you (unless you override customServerAIStep in your mob)
• Users no longer need to return a SmartBrainProvider or SmartBrain instance in your entity class. SBL creates it automatically for you
• Moved over to Jspecify's Nullability annotations per the new industry standard. See [here][https://jspecify.dev] for more information
• Renamed SBLLoader to SBLPlatform
• Renamed SBLConstants#LOADER to SBLConstants#PLATFORM
• Removed EntityRetrievalUtil#streamEntities - Its benefits just weren't worth the confusion it caused
• Removed EntityRetrievalUtil#findEntities - It only served to offer a 'max' entity short-circuit, which has now been built into the other methods
• Removed BrainUtil#forEachBehaviour
• Changed GroupBehaviour#getBehaviours from an Iterator to an Iterable
• Added BrainBehaviourPredicate#isChildOfBehaviour helper method
• Renamed the net.tslat.smartbrainlib.object package to net.tslat.smartbrainlib.library.object
• Moved BrainBehaviourConsumer, BrainBehaviourPredicate, ToFloatBiFunction, and TriPredicate to net.tslat.smartbrainlib.library.interfaces
• Made ExtendedTargetingConditions extend BiPredicate
• Renamed FreePositionTracker to ExactPositionTracker
• Renamed MemoryTest#hasNoMemories to MemoryTest#noMemories
• Renamed MemoryTest#builder(int) to MemoryTest#sized(int)
• Renamed BrainActivityGroup to ActivityBuilder
• Renamed EntityFilteringSensor to NearestVisibleEntityFilteredSensor
• Renamed the generic T type across all of SBL's brain-related classes to BO for consistent and clear type understanding
• Bubbled up polymorphic overloads of self-returning methods across behaviours and sensors
• Ensured consistency of generic type ordering across all of SBL's brain-related classes

Internal

• Greatly improved the Javadocs in EntityRetrievalUtil
• Converted all Javadocs to Markdown, per Java 25's new standard
• Reorganised the boilerplate/example code
• Added package-info declarations to each package for more consistent and cleaner API usage
• Significantly overhauled the Javadocs across the entire mod
• General code cleanup and improvements
• Implemented pre-collapsed code sections for boilerplate code, to further improve code clarity
