Veinminer - Highly Configurable

Unreleased

Added

• Added Fabric build support for Minecraft 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2.
• Added NeoForge build support for Minecraft 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2.
• Added build/upload metadata entries for the new 26.x Minecraft version format.

Changed

• Version target normalization now resolves underscore-separated targets such as 26_1, 26_1_1, and 26_2 to dotted Minecraft versions.
• Fabric 26.x uses a Mojang-named source port because Fabric Yarn and Fabric Intermediary mappings are not published for the new 26.x version format.
• Fabric 26.x client keybind networking and server outline particles are ported to the available Mojang-named API surface.
• Fabric 26.x metadata now depends on the current Fabric API mod id, fabric-api.
• NeoForge 26.x uses version-specific block-break event bridges for the 26.1/26.1.1 and 26.1.2/26.2 event API split.

Validation

• Verified current Fabric API coordinates exist for 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2.
• Verified Fabric Yarn and Fabric Intermediary mappings are not published for 26.x, and Mojang 26.2 metadata does not publish client/server mapping downloads.
• Fabric 26.x buildAllSupported passed for 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2.
• Smoke-launched the built Fabric 26.2 jar on a real Fabric server with Fabric API 0.154.0+26.2; Veinminer initialized and the server reached Done.
• NeoForge 26.x buildAllSupported passed for 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2.
• Smoke-launched the built NeoForge 26.2 jar on a server; Veinminer was discovered, common setup completed, and the server reached Done.

3.1.3

Supported Builds

• Built and packaged Fabric jars for Minecraft 1.20 through 1.21.11.
• Built and packaged NeoForge jars for Minecraft 1.21 through 1.21.11.
• Aligned release identity on 3.1.3 across Gradle metadata, generated jar names, and release documentation.

Changed

• Streamlined the default player flow: Veinminer now works out of the box with Shift/sneak activation and no setup wizard.
• Removed /veinminer setup from the documented normal flow; normal users can install the mod and mine supported blocks immediately.
• Reworked the command layout:
  • /veinminer now owns normal player-facing controls such as toggle, activation mode, message preferences, and particle preferences.
  • /vmadmin now owns always-registered admin/server controls for blocks, tools, settings, reload, confirm, and cancel.
  • /vmadvanced remains hidden unless advanced.enabled = true and contains advanced-only block-per-tool and test tooling.
• Made particle preferences per-player instead of treating all particle toggle/color/duration changes as global server settings.
• Standardized per-player preference storage for both loaders around config/Veinminer/Players/PlayerData.json.
• Preserved transient activation state separately from saved preferences so toggle/key state cleanup does not erase persisted settings.
• Updated README, command documentation, publishing descriptions, and release checklist text to match the streamlined command flow.

Fixed

• Fixed Fabric per-player settings persistence by restoring JSON-backed player preference storage across supported Fabric versions.
• Fixed Fabric saved preferences being overwritten after single-player disconnect/server shutdown.
• Fixed Fabric 1.21.5-1.21.11 launch crashes caused by player-data persistence mixin callback descriptors.
• Fixed NeoForge new-player defaults so Veinminer, particles, red particle color, and message preferences start enabled as intended.
• Fixed NeoForge 1.21.10 and 1.21.11 launch crashes caused by player-data persistence mixin callback descriptors.
• Fixed NeoForge particle/message/Veinminer defaults appearing disabled or black on fresh profiles.
• Fixed advanced.enabled = true startup failures caused by the /vmadvanced test harness reflecting an outdated block-limit helper signature.
• Historical: fixed setup wizard chat text not being clickable on Fabric 1.21.5-1.21.11.
• Historical: fixed setup wizard chat text not being clickable on NeoForge 1.21.5-1.21.11.

Validation

• Full Fabric build matrix passed and produced 19 jars.
• Full NeoForge build matrix passed and produced 12 jars.
• Runtime smoke testing confirmed Fabric settings persistence and basic behaviour on 1.20.4, 1.20.6, 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.8, 1.21.10, and 1.21.11.
• Runtime smoke testing confirmed NeoForge defaults, settings persistence, and clean launch on 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.8, 1.21.10, and 1.21.11.
• Runtime smoke testing confirmed advanced.enabled = true no longer blocks world load or command registration across the tested Fabric and NeoForge release matrix.
