Full Changelog

This update includes all changes released since the last public version, beta.46.

beta.47 — Migration, Durability and Interface Fixes

Safe World Migration

• Restored hidden registrations for the old fulcrum_*, negotiator_* and beskar_plaque identifiers.

• Old Fulcrum parts are automatically converted into their Snips equivalents.

• Old Negotiator parts are automatically converted into The Protector equivalents.

• Beskar Plaques are converted into Beskar Plates.

• Item counts and saved stack components are preserved during migration.

• Assembled lightsabers using the old component families are migrated automatically.

Lightsabers

• Lightsabers no longer lose durability when attacking entities or breaking blocks.

• Damage stored on lightsabers by older versions is automatically cleared.

• Reduced excessive blade color overexposure without shaders.

• Full HDR emission required for shader bloom remains available while a shaderpack is active.

Interface and Lighting

• Removed blur from the configuration screen opened through Mod Menu.

• The configuration screen now renders its own sharp background without triggering vanilla screen blur.

• Increased the default environmental light level from 8 to 9.

• Increased the default light radius from 4.5 to 5 blocks.

• Reduced the default light falloff from 2.15 to 2.0 for smoother illumination.

beta.48 — Separate Blade Rendering Paths

• Separated lightsaber rendering for vanilla Minecraft and active shaderpacks.

• Without shaders, blades now use a correctly colored FULL_BRIGHT core with subtle edge layers.

• Removed the additive rendering pass that could turn green blades into pale cyan or white.

• When Iris and a shaderpack are active, blades continue using the HDR rendering path required by the edited Complementary shaderpack.

beta.49 — Improved Colors Without Shaders

• Further improved washed-out blade colors in vanilla rendering.

• Additive bloom layers are now enabled only while a shaderpack is active.

• Without shaders, the blade displays a saturated core matching the selected kyber color.

beta.50 — Configuration, Force Lightning and Commands

Gameplay Configuration

• Added configurable durations for meditation, kyber rituals and the meditation cooldown.

• All duration values are entered in ticks: 20 ticks = 1 second.

• These settings are available through the in-game configuration screen.

• Dedicated servers store the settings in config/ssw-gameplay.properties.

• Configuration changes can be reloaded without restarting the server.

Force Lightning

• Fixed Force Lightning being invisible in first-person view.

• The animated lightning arc between the player’s hand and the target now uses its own properly submitted render buffer.

Beskar Furnace

• Unified the active and inactive furnace designs.

• The active front now retains the same outer casing as the inactive version.

• Added missing animation metadata that previously caused both texture frames to appear compressed together.

Commands

• All mod commands now use the ssw prefix.

• Added /sswmakequestgiver to turn the targeted villager into a Quest Giver.

• Added /sswuncrackkyber to remove the cracked state from the held lightsaber without changing its kyber color or other saved data.

• Added /sswbleedkyber to instantly bleed the held kyber crystal.

• Added /sswpurifykyber to instantly purify the held kyber crystal.

• Administrative ritual commands bypass karma requirements and ritual duration.

• Purifying a cracked kyber crystal does not remove its cracked state.

beta.51 — Quests and Raid Rewards

• Completely removed the Raider Hunt quest.

• Quest Givers now offer either a general Hostile Hunt or Village Defense quest.

• Old active Raider Hunt quests are automatically removed when player data is loaded.

• Every player included in Minecraft’s Hero of the Village list after a successful raid receives 10 Imperial Credits.

• The reward is granted once per victorious raid and cannot be claimed repeatedly from the same victory.
