Wildex Bestiary

2.6.1 - 2026-03-08

Added

• Added a new common config option excludedVariantMobIds
  • only affects Wildex variant probing/subentries and does not hide the mob itself from Wildex
• Added client/server sync for excludedVariantMobIds so variant exclusions stay server-authoritative in multiplayer.

Changed

• Reworked Pedestal hologram rendering for better compatibility with complex modded renderers.
• AzureLib-based mobs now use a dedicated compatibility path instead of the old generic vertex-wrapping approach.
• Preview/Pedestal entity creation now normalizes more display-only entity state before rendering, improving presentation for some modded mobs.
• Variant exclusion matching now uses the same normalized ID filter logic as other Wildex mob filters.

Fixed

• Fixed a client crash caused by rendering certain modded mobs as Pedestal holograms:
  • affected stacks included combinations such as AzureLib / TravelersLib / Sodium / Iris
  • the crash was caused by the old vertex-consumer wrapping approach in the hologram renderer
• Fixed multiple Pedestal hologram rendering issues:
  • reduced Z-fighting between hologram passes
  • reduced unstable color flicker between blue hologram layers
  • stopped hologram-only idle animation playback for displayed mobs
  • improved hologram cone visibility
• Fixed AzureLib hologram side/transparency artifacts where large body surfaces could appear partially see-through.
• Fixed Jurassic Saga and similar growth-driven mobs rendering too small in Wildex/preview creation paths by preparing display entities in a stable adult/render-ready state.
• Fixed repeated variant cache invalidation when reopening Wildex:
  • server config sync now only clears variant caches when synced values actually changed

Compatibility

• Existing worlds are supported.
• No world/save data migration required.
• Multiplayer-safe:
  • discovery/progress flow remains server-authoritative
  • new variant exclusion config is synced from the server to clients
• Safe update path from 2.6.0
