[4.1.1+A-26.2]

Summary

The "Personality-Based Flee Probability" patch.

  • Personality-Based Fleeing: Refactored low health fleeing behavior so that a wolf's probability of running away is checked based on its personality.
    • 🟢 Pacifist: 100% chance by default.
    • Normal: 50% chance by default.
    • 💢 Aggressive: 10% chance by default.
  • Gamerule & Config Integration: Exposes the three personality-based flee probability settings via new GameRules (bd_paci_flee_chance, bd_normal_flee_chance, bd_aggro_flee_chance) and corresponding config values.
  • Strict Versioning: Bumped the patch version to 4.1.1+A-26.2 and archived previous 4.1.0 jars.

[4.1.0+A-26.2]

Summary

The "Low Health Fleeing & Version Upgrade" minor release.

  • Low Health Fleeing AI: Added a new survival AI goal where all wolves (both tamed and wild) attempt to flee when their health falls below 30% of their maximum health.
  • Hybrid Configuration: Exposed the fleeing behavior under a new namespaced game rule bd_flee_low_health and a config toggle in BetterDogsConfig and the ModMenu/Cloth Config screen.
  • Strict Versioning: Bumped the minor version to 4.1.0+A-26.2 and archived previous 4.0.1 jars.

[4.0.1+A-26.2]

Summary

The "Storm Anxiety Personality Gating" patch. Gates the Storm Anxiety behavior based on the wolf's personality.

  • Storm Anxiety Personality Gating: Wolf reaction to thunderstorms is now personality-dependent.
    • 💢 Aggressive: Unaffected by thunderstorms (fully immune to storm anxiety).
    • 🟢 Pacifist: Highly anxious, with a 3x higher trigger chance than normal.
    • Normal: Standard chance (1% per tick / configured value).

[4.0.0+A-26.2]

Summary

The Minecraft 26.2 Pre-Release 1 Port and Compatibility Upgrade.

  • Minecraft 26.2 Port: Ported the codebase to Minecraft 26.2-pre-1 and aligned with Fabric API 0.149.2.
  • Entity Registry Relocation: Refactored entity type references to use the new EntityTypes registry class, replacing legacy EntityType references (e.g. EntityType.WOLF to EntityTypes.WOLF) to prevent compilation and runtime errors.
  • Pre-Release & Future Compatibility: Updated fabric.mod.json dependency constraints to "minecraft": ">=26.2-" (wildcard range) to allow the mod to load on both 26.2 pre-releases and the final/future 26.2 releases.
  • Gradle & Toolchain Updates: Configured the build toolchain to compile using JDK 25 and added automatic local Maven repository lookup for locally compiled dependencies.
