[1.0.0] - 2026-07-23

Changed

• Client cosmetics / heavy render stack are optional (off by default) on CurseForge: Soft Imprints, Wakes, Distant Horizons, Iris, Polytone, Sodium Dynamic Lights, Colorwheel (+ patcher), Create Dynamic Lights, Immersive Lanterns, and Complementary Reimagined. Installer opt-in via required: false — no .jar.disabled in the upload zip.

Removed

• TownTalk — excluded from the CurseForge manifest due to high resource cost. MineColonies lists it as a CF required dependency (type 3), which made the launcher disable MineColonies when TownTalk was toggled off; NeoForge does not actually require it. MineColonies stays; citizen voice packs are gone unless re-added later.
• Puddles & Floods (puddleflood) — removed from the pack (authoring .jar.disabled + manifestExcludedModIds). Not worth the cost.
• Likely_a_pack (likely_a_pack) — excluded from the CurseForge manifest (manifestExcludedModIds).

Mods

Removed from CurseForge manifest

• TownTalk (towntalk)
• Puddles & Floods (puddleflood) — also excluded earlier in this cycle; confirmed in this cut
• Likely_a_pack (likely_a_pack)

Optional on CurseForge (required: false; off by default — still downloadable at install)

• Soft Imprints, Wakes, Distant Horizons, Iris, Polytone, Sodium Dynamic Lights, Colorwheel (+ patcher), Create Dynamic Lights, Immersive Lanterns (and Complementary Reimagined shader)

Updated mods

• Create Aeronautics: 7080703 -> 8240058

Notes

• CurseForge cannot ship .jar.disabled for CF-hosted mods; use required: false pins instead. May need to make a list of optional mods for players to choose from.
• Jul 2026 density trim (inventory overlays → CF + staging): Particle Core reduceAllChance=0.45, sheet cap 6144, render distance ×0.7; Particular rarer leaves/cave dust/fireflies; Quark stoneling/toretoise spawn weights cut (~¼); Critters and Companions spawn weights cut for July hotspot ambients.
• Jul 2026 client launch RAM: on ≤16 GB PCs use G1 (inventory/client/jvm-low-ram.txt) — menu launch validated at 7168–8192 MB. ZGC hangs near end of load at 8 GB.
