Wave Defence (1.16.5 port) — CHANGELOG

[0.0.1] — Unreleased — Initial backport

Added

• Foundation port of Wave Defense 0.2.65 (originally MC 1.20.1) to MC 1.16.5 / Forge 36.x / Java 8.
• 154 / 155 planned files (99.4%) ported via mechanical translator (port_to_1165.py) from the 1.20.1 source tree.
• 32 089 / 32 288 planned LOC (99.4%) carried over.
• Full package coverage:
  • data/ — 22 classes (Location, NbtHelper, LocationSerializer, LocationManager, LeaderboardManager, ShopItem/Point, PvpSpawnPoint, PvpRoundState, WaveConfig/Mob/Trigger, etc.)
  • network/ — 39 packets (PacketHandler + all client/server messages)
  • wave/ — 17 files (WaveManager, PvpRoundManager with READY_CHECK phase, BrManager, PortalManager, ZoneActivationManager, MobSpawnManager, SessionManager, InfoPanelManager, etc.)
  • events/ — 6 files (PlayerEventHandler, ClientEventHandler, PlayerRespawnHandler, KeyBindings, etc.)
  • commands/ — full WaveDefenseAdminCommands (1578 LOC) + basic WaveDefenseCommand
  • config/ — WaveDefenseConfig + WaveGameRules
  • gui/ — 64 screens (UniversalLocationEditor, ShopEditor, WaveConfig, PlayerHUD, MinimapRenderer, PvpReadyHud, etc.)
• 8 language files copied verbatim from 1.20.1 (en_us, uk_ua, de_de, fr_fr, es_es, pl_pl, pt_br, zh_cn).

Translated automatically

• Java 14+ records → plain final classes with name()/uuid()/etc. accessors.
• instanceof T t pattern variable → classic instanceof + explicit cast.
• switch (x) -> {...} expressions → classic switch (x) { case ...: return; }.
• Map.of(...) / List.of(...) → Collections.singletonMap(...) / Arrays.asList(...).
• var → explicit type.
• Text API: Component.literal/translatable → StringTextComponent / TranslationTextComponent.
• NBT API: CompoundTag → CompoundNBT, ListTag → ListNBT, etc.
• Forge network: net.minecraftforge.network.* → net.minecraftforge.fml.network.*.
• Entity: ServerPlayer/Player/Mob → ServerPlayerEntity/PlayerEntity/MobEntity.
• Forge constants: net.minecraft.nbt.Tag → net.minecraftforge.common.util.Constants.

Intentionally excluded

• compat/ (Tacz, MnS) — incompatible APIs on 1.16.5.
• backup/ — niche feature; vanilla world-save covers basics.
• monitor/ — telemetry, niche.
• gui/AdminDebugHud.java — v0.2.65 polish, add post-Phase-3.
• gui/LocationEditorScreen.java + gui/PvpLocationEditorScreen.java — already @Deprecated(forRemoval) in 1.20.1 source; superseded by UniversalLocationEditor.
• gui/TaczBulkAddScreen.java — Tacz compat.

Known limitations

• Not runtime-tested. Compile-ready % is still in progress; see PORT_STATUS.md for the three-tier breakdown.
• Tooltip API in screens still uses 1.20.1 widget.setTooltip(Tooltip.create(...)) pattern in some places — needs Screen.renderTooltip() override per screen.
• Creative tab API (BuildCreativeModeTabContentsEvent) — 1.16.5 uses ItemGroup.getDisplayItems(); needs hand-port in CreativeTabHelper.
• HUD overlay event still references RenderGuiOverlayEvent — needs RenderGameOverlayEvent.Post in 1.16.5.
• KeyBinding registration uses RegisterKeyMappingsEvent — needs ClientRegistry.registerKeyBinding(...) in 1.16.5.
• editLocationLegacy() references in AdminMenuScreen / UniversalLocationEditor need to be commented out (5 lines), since the two legacy editor classes are not ported.
