Zombie Village 4.57.306 — release notes

What's new

• Soul Crafting recipe picker. When more than one recipe matches the same grid at a Soul Well crafting station, a small selector now appears next to the result. Click it to cycle through the matching recipes — the count just below the box (e.g. "1/2") tells you which match you're on — so you can craft the exact recipe you want instead of being locked to the game's first match. Left-click steps forward, right-click steps back.

Fixed

• Surface builders now reach the roof. Village builders scaffold themselves up to place the top rows of a house instead of stalling below them and swinging at blocks they can't reach. The long waits on the last few layers of every building — easily half of a village's total build time — are gone.

Requires / compatible with

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.224+
• Freedom Lib 0.10.1+ (required — ZV is now built against 0.10.1; use the matching pack version)
• ZV-Houses (required — supplies every building template; without it a village spawns but no houses build)
• Spells & Spellcrafting (required)
• JEI (optional — enables click-to-fill from the recipe view)

Migration notes

• None — drop-in update. No world or config changes; existing villages, Soul Wells, and stored items carry over unchanged.
