v1.12.1 — We Touched Things And This Is What Happens

"a hotfix is just a patch that's embarrassed about itself."

📦 FileDirector: The Downloads Were Broken

The mod downloads in v1.12 did not work. The bundle.json had the wrong JSON structure, the wrong field names, and a level of self-assurance that was completely unjustified. The mods were not downloading. You were just launching into a pack that was quietly missing several things and not telling you.

[ this is the direct and foreseeable consequence of the touching. ]

🔧 What Was Wrong

The JSON was a raw array. It needed to be an object. The field was called "target". It needed to be called "fileName". Two mistakes. Both stupid. Both fixed. We're not proud but we are done.

🧝 LittleMaid: Present

LittleMaid Reengaged, LMLibrary, and LittleMaidAppendPack are now actually downloading and installing correctly. They were in the config before. They were not arriving. Like ordering food and getting an empty plate with a fork. The fork was the game launching. This is fixed.

🕶️ OptiFine: Also Present

OptiFine was also not downloading. It is now. Performance improvements that were advertised in v1.12 were contingent on OptiFine existing. It did not exist. It does now. You're welcome.

[ sorry about that. genuinely. a little. ]

v1.12.1 is v1.12 but the things that were supposed to work now work. No new content. No new features. Just consequences. - 67
