Living World – Industry, Colonies & Adventure

Update 1.2.0 – Compatibility & Stability Update

Version 1.2.0 is a major technical and compatibility update for Living World.

This release focuses on making the huge Create, industry, colony, technology and adventure ecosystem work together more reliably while keeping as much of the existing content and functionality as possible.

🧩 NEW – LivingCompat 2.1.0

Added our new custom compatibility and improvement mod:

LivingCompat 2.1.0

LivingCompat has been developed specifically for the large and complex mod environment of Living World.

Main goals include:

• Improved compatibility between installed mods
• Better handling of recipe conflicts
• Improved accessibility of crafting and processing chains
• Detection of conflicting or problematic recipes
• Improved compatibility between shared materials and tags
• Additional cross-mod compatibility handling
• Better protection against recipes becoming inaccessible because of another mod
• Additional validation of mod interactions
• Improved stability in a very large mod environment
• Better diagnostics for compatibility-related problems
• Reduction of unnecessary compatibility warnings where a safe solution is possible

Compatibility logic is now handled through our dedicated LivingCompat mod instead of relying on modified third-party mod files.

This provides a cleaner and more maintainable foundation for future updates.

🧹 NEW – LivingWorld Log Cleanup 1.0

Added the custom:

LivingWorld Log Cleanup 1.0

This datapack helps clean up problematic or unnecessary data entries and complements the new compatibility system.

Its purpose is to:

• Reduce unnecessary log noise
• Clean up known problematic data entries
• Improve datapack/resource handling
• Reduce avoidable warnings
• Improve overall pack cleanliness
• Make important errors easier to identify
• Support the stability improvements introduced with 1.2.0

Warnings and errors are not simply hidden—the goal is to remove or correct unnecessary causes where possible.
