Simba Create SMP 0.12.1

Release type: Beta
Minecraft: 1.21.1 NeoForge
Profiles: Heavy, Lite, and Server

Added

• The Roads More Travelled on Heavy, Lite, and Server. Frequently travelled terrain gradually develops visible paths, including in the existing world from the time of update onward.
• Petting with a survival-safe tame profile: six pets per player, a kill plus 50%-health requirement, 20% base tame chance, saddle-required mounts, and boss/raid-mob exclusions.
• Extreme Sound Muffler on Heavy and Lite for individual sound-event volume and mute control.
• Dark Mode Everywhere on Heavy and Lite, bringing dark UI treatment to bright mod screens such as Tom's Simple Storage and Iron Chests.
• Simba Chat Format resource pack, changing normal chat to Name: message while preserving FTB Ranks name styling.
• First-run Default Options resource-pack defaults for fresh installs.

Changed

• FallingTree now supports large mixed-log custom trees, with whole-tree detection and 2,048-block scan/fell limits.
• Undead Nights is now built for slow, dense, readable horde combat:
  • Horde, Elite, and Demolition zombies: 40 → 24 HP.
  • Movement speed: 40% slower than their previous setting.
  • Horde mobs no longer stack into wall- or fence-scaling piles.
  • Surviving horde mobs burn in daylight.
  • Lure effects remain atmospheric but cannot summon surprise hordes.
  • Horde size, variety, warnings, and scheduled siege nights remain intact.
• Server autosave is staged at 15 minutes rather than 5, reducing repeatable save hitches while normal saves and the FTB backup schedule remain in place.
• The Simba title on the main menu is now static; the animated background remains.
• Client exports contain only the first-run resource-pack baseline, Simba UI art, and the skin compatibility fix. Personal settings and server/world rules are no longer overwritten on updates.

Removed

• Forced options.txt deployment. Updates no longer reset player controls, video settings, keybinds, accessibility options, or chosen resource packs.
• Forced servers.dat deployment. Fresh installs start with an empty server list, and existing players keep their own entries.
• Client copies of server/world tuning and personal shader, FPS, shield, and gameplay configs. Fresh installs generate their own local preferences; multiplayer rules remain server-authoritative.

Server Notes

• 0.12.1 requires the matching server update because TRMT, FallingTree, and Undead Nights are server-authoritative.
• Back up the world before first boot with TRMT. If TRMT is ever removed, run its documented conversion command on loaded chunks first.
• Dynamic Undead Nights scaling deliberately remains off; the staged profile uses predictable fixed values instead.
