Changelog

[1.7.6-26.1] - 2026-01-21

⚙️ Technical Changes

  • Standalone Config System: Replaced the dependency on AutoConfig and Cloth Config with a custom lightweight JSON loader.
    • Impact: Configuration files (config/betterdogs.json) are now properly generated and respected again. Users can manually edit this file to change settings (e.g., friendly fire, speed buffs) even though the in-game GUI is currently disabled.

[1.7.5-26.1] - 2026-01-21

🧠 AI Improvements

  • Smart Cliff Safety: Wolves now actively retreat (walk backwards 4 blocks) when they detect a steep drop or void, rather than just stopping. This prevents them from getting stuck at the edge or sliding off.

[1.7.4-26.1] - 2026-01-21

🛠 Bug Fixes

  • Crash Fix: Resolved a NullPointerException during the "Cliff Safety V2" check.
    • Details: The code now correctly exits the tick handler if the target is cleared by the V1 check, preventing subsequent access to invalid target references.

[1.7.3-26.1] - 2026-01-21

🛠 Bug Fixes

  • Crash Fix: Removed reference to missing WolfGoalsMixin which caused a startup crash. Functionality was previously merged into WolfMixin.

[1.7.2-26.1] - 2026-01-21

🛠 Technical Changes

  • Dependency Fix: Relaxed fabric.mod.json version constraints (minecraft to ~26.1-) to resolve "Incompatible mods" errors with alpha launchers.

[1.7.1-26.1] - 2026-01-21

Ported to Minecraft 26.1 (Snapshot 4)

This release marks the migration to the first unobfuscated version of Minecraft.

🛠 Technical Changes

  • Language Migration: Switched codebase from Kotlin back to Java.
    • Reasoning: While Kotlin offers a smoother coding experience, the transition to the unobfuscated 26.1 environment favored the native stability and direct mapping of Java, reducing toolchain complexity during this experimental snapshot phase.
  • Build System: Updated to Fabric Loom 1.14.7 (net.fabricmc.fabric-loom) to support unobfuscated builds.

⚠️ Known Issues / Temporary Changes

  • Config GUI Unavailable: While an alpha build of Mod Menu (18.0.0-alpha.4) exists for 26.1, the required Cloth Config library has not yet been updated for the unobfuscated environment (still uses intermediary mappings).
    • As a result, the in-game configuration screen is disabled to prevent crashes.
    • Default settings are applied automatically.
