SUNDERED REALMS — CHANGELOG

v0.1.0 — Initial Release

332 mods · 892 quests · Minecraft 1.20.1 · Forge 47.4.10

💥 CRASHES FIXED — 6

Every one diagnosed from bytecode, logs or file inspection rather than guesswork.

1. Traveloptics — NoClassDefFoundError: DungeonEyeItem

Cataclysm 3.31 flattened items/Dungeon_Eye/DungeonEyeItem to items/DungeonEyeItem. Traveloptics 6.3.0 still referenced the old path. Its declared range [2.57.,) is open-ended, so Forge loaded the incompatible version silently. Fix: Cataclysm 3.31 → 3.16. Verified all 8 Cataclysm dependents resolve against 3.16 with zero missing class references.

2. Cataclysm items — AbstractMethodError: BasicEntityModel.root()

LionfishAPI 3.0 made root() abstract; Cataclysm 3.16's item models don't implement it. Any render of a Cataclysm custom-model item crashed the client — it surfaced through the quest book but would equally have crashed from JEI or the inventory. Fix: LionfishAPI 3.0 → 2.7. All 24 referenced classes verified present.

3. Hexerei — InvalidMixinException: cannot reduce visibility

Sinytra Connector's patch_data.json widened HumanoidArmorLayer.getArmorModelHook to public; Hexerei's mixin declares it protected. Found by searching every file in all 348 jars for the method name — an access-transformer grep alone missed it. Fix: Connector removed. Nothing in the pack needed it — zero mods declared connectormod, zero Fabric-only jars.

4. Mod loading — connectorextras_architectury_bridge requires connectormod

ConnectorExtras bundles architectury-bridge in JarJar, which hard-requires Connector. Fix: ConnectorExtras removed. (Also exposed a gap in the validator — see below.)

5. Duplicate mod id origins

Two loose jars both declaring origins: the multiloader build (requires Connector) and the native Forge build. Fix: kept origins-forge, disabled the Connector-based build.

6. Traveloptics — NoClassDefFoundError: DeadKingAnimatedWarlockAttackGoal

Traveloptics 6.3.0 was built against Iron's Spellbooks 3.15.x; 3.16.3 removed that class. Improved Mobs exposed it by instantiating every registered entity on world load. Fix: Iron's Spellbooks 3.16.3 → 3.15.6, which cascaded into irons_lib 2.1.0 → 1.0.2 (3.15.6 requires the upper-bounded range [1.20.1-1,1.20.1-2)). Cost: Dark Doppelganger and Twilight Spellbooks, which hard-require 3.16.2+.

🗑️ MODS REMOVED OR SWAPPED

Version swaps (fix, don't remove — content preserved)

• Cataclysm 3.31 → 3.16
• LionfishAPI 3.0 → 2.7
• Iron's Spellbooks 3.16.3 → 3.15.6
• irons_lib 2.1.0 → 1.0.2

Removed — caused crashes

• Sinytra Connector · ConnectorExtras · Origins (Connector build)

Removed — caused visual bugs

• FancyMenu + Konkrete — double-rendered the title screen over Aether Redux's menu
• First-person Model — appeared in all four player-model mixin collision sets; caused the split-face rendering bug

Removed — version conflict

• Dark Doppelganger · Twilight Spellbooks (both require Iron's Spellbooks 3.16.2+)

🐛 BUGS FIXED

⚙️ PERFORMANCE & CONFIG

• JVM: -Xms matched to -Xmx at 10 GB + full G1GC tuning. The heap was growing from 256 MB to 12 GB during chunk loading — every growth step was a stall
• Distant Horizons: FEATURES → PRE_EXISTING_ONLY, threads 7 → 3, duty cycle 1.0 → 0.5. It was generating terrain for 27 dimensions while you played
• Improved Mobs: breakTileEntities false (protects Create, AE2, Mekanism and chests), whitelist flipped to blacklist so mobs dig through ordinary walls, obsidian made a meaningful defensive block, stealing 30% → 15%
• Blood Moons: chance 0.10 → 0.45, minimum gap 4 → 3 nights, monster multiplier 2.25 → 3.5

🌍 WORLDGEN

• 406 structure sets rewritten — spacing halved, every salt made unique
• Fixed a silent conflict where 41 sets shared a salt and 16 declared none, causing dozens of structure types to compete for identical chunks and never generate
• Result: roughly 4× structure density
• Moved to Paxi's global folder so it applies to every world, including new ones

🧹 PUBLISHING CLEANUP — 32 files

CurseForge rejects any CurseForge-hosted archive bundled in the zip. It reported the first two; a full sweep found thirty more.

Final state: 332 jars, all at the top level of mods/, zero nested, zero elsewhere, zero CurseForge-tracked files outside mods/.

🔧 TOOLING BUILT

Five validators, in _packtools/, run before every release:

• preflight.py — duplicate mod ids, wrong MC versions, missing dependencies, version violations. Recurses into both META-INF/jarjar/ and META-INF/jars/, resolves ${file.jarVersion} from the manifest, and scans nested module dependencies
• mixinscan.py — parses 3,478 mixin classes' constant pools to find two mods claiming the same injection point
• worldscan.py — structure salts, spacing, and spawn biome modifiers
• check_snbt.py — quest syntax (verified against a deliberately broken file)
• check_ids.py — every icon, item, entity, dimension and structure resolves
• Plus generators for the quest book, currency, density datapack, EMC lock and menu art

Two gaps found in my own tooling and fixed:

1. preflight.py only read top-level dependencies, so a nested JarJar module's requirement was invisible — it reported "none missing" immediately before a hard crash
