Fetchr 5.3 Beta 1

⚠️ While both 1.21-1.21.4 and 1.21.5 snapshots are supported, upgrading a world from 1.21.x to 1.21.5 is currently not supported.

Version 5.2.3 updates the map to Minecraft version 1.21.5 and adds some new items

Changelog

• Updated to 1.21.5

• Added Lodestone
  • was changed in 1.21.5 to use an iron ingot instead of netherite
• Added Lodestone compass
  • Also mutually exclusive with compass and map
  • Likelihood is split with compass in that category, making map still as likely as before

Swamp

• New Category
• Only available when playing 1.21.5
• Contains existing items: slime ball, sticky piston, leash and poison arrow
• Added firefly bush

Warm Biomes

• Added dead bush to this category (previously only categorized as "shearable")
• Added Cactus Flower
  • Only available when playing 1.21.5
• Added Short dry grass
  • Only available when playing 1.21.5
  • Also added to the shearables category

Miscellaneous

Worldgen

• Made armadillos more likely in badlands in 1.21.5
  • Badlands can now spawn some warm farm animal variations, were previously only armadillos could spawn
  • This was adjusted the same way as savanna previously, meaning armadillos take up a bit over half the peaceful spawns in these biomes
• Worldgen is updated to match 1.21.5 when playing in this version
  • Most notably, pale gardens spawn about twice as often now

Blind Mode -> Concealed Card

"Blind Mode" has been renamed to "Concealed Card". This is to diambiguate it with weekly "blind" seed challenges, which are played without knowing the card beforehand.

Technical changes

• Text components are no longer stringified
• Removed fetchr:negated_component item_test
• Added fetchr:component_exists item_test
• Category lists now support a mixed typed list

Text Components

In accordance with the 1.21.5 changes, text components are now in SNBT format and no longer stored as stringified JSON.

This affects all storages that stored text components before.

fetchr:component_exists item_test

New item test that can bes specified in the item pool to check for an item component to exist

• Requires the item component to exist on this item, with any contents
• id - The item component id
• negated - Optional. When set to true, requires the component to not exist (same as previous fetchr:negated_component)

Heterogeneously typed category lists

When registering items, category lists can now be heterogeneous in 1.21.5 (in 1.21.4, this would be an SNBT syntax error)

This means instead of specifying a compound with only an id and no weight, you can now always specify a string, even when there is another compound in the same list

For example, [ {id: "fetchr:pumpkin" }, {id: "fetchr:egg", weight: 2 } ] can now be written as [ "fetchr:pumpkin", {id: "fetchr:egg", weight: 2 } ]

Bug Fixes

• Fixed lockout mode automatically being disabled when playing with one team causing the colored card backgrounds of unlocked items to not show up properly
• Fixed error chat spam not showing up when playing in a version that's too old

Fetchr 5.2.2

5.2.2 is released to address yet another critical bug in 5.2.x that can cause entities to stay frozen when altering render distance before the game starts.

This version is fully compatible with 5.2 and 5.2.1, meaning you can keep the same server config and just replace the datapack without replacing the world.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed entities outside of render distance staying frozen when lowering render distance

Fetchr 5.2.1

5.2.1 is released to address a critical bug in 5.2 that could cause spawn points to be swapped and mangled after playing multiple runs. You are highly encouraged to update.

This version is fully compatible with 5.2, meaning you can keep the same server config and just replace the datapack without replacing the world.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed spawn marker not being cleared properly after a run, causing spawn points to be potentially swapped and messed up.

• The reach to interact with item frames and other entities is now increased while in the lobby or skybox.

Technical Changes

• Overhauled item registration card generation and item detection with new Minecraft Features in Mind such as Macros

Item Registration

Item registration has been overhauled and existing forks that change the item
pool will need to update to the new system.

• textComponent has been removed
• clearCommand has been removed
• detectCommand has been removed
• icon is no longer a text component and instead the 4 digit hex code of the unicode character representing the item on the HUD bingo card
• icon_font specifies a own custom font to use for this item. Can be used to avoid conflicts in the vanilla Fetchr font files when maintaining forks
  • actionbar A list of 5 font definitions to use for the card displayed in the actionbar. Each definition is for a different row on the Bingo card and needs to have the corresponding ascend value set. Reference the vanilla Fetchr assets.
• translation New property for the translation key of the item
• item_tests Optional. Can be used for custom item tests.
  • type see blow
  • Type specific fields (see below)

Item Tests

Item tests can be used to further specify an item or override default behavior. By default, any item in the item field will match, including any defined components.

If item_tests is specified the components of the item definition will be ignored for testing purposes and only be used to construct a display item for the item frame card or the category chests.

• fetchr:component
  A component the item must have exactly like specified.
  • id The data component id
  • component The component value
• fetchr:negated_component
  A component the item must not have
  • id The data compontent id
• fetchr:predicate
  An item sub predicate that must succeed for the item
  • id The item sub predicate type
  • predicate The predicate data

At runtime, this will be parsed together with the item id into a command item argument.

For example this definition would leather boots with a blue shaper trim which is not shown in the tooltip and a custom lore text whenever it is displayed, and any leather boots that have any kind of blue trim would match:

{
	item: {
		id: "minecraft:leather_boots",
		components: {
			"minecraft:trim": {
				pattern: "minecraft:shaper",
				material: "minecraft:lapis",
				show_in_tooltip: false
			},
			"minecraft:lore": [
				'{"translate": "item.minecraft.smithing_template.upgrade", "color": "gray", "italic": false}',
				'[" ", {"translate": "fetchr.item.description.any_trim", "color": "#406d95", "italic": false}]',
				'[" ", {"translate": "trim_material.minecraft.lapis", "color": "#406d95", "italic": false}]'
			]
		}
	},
	item_tests: [
		{
			type: "fetchr:predicate",
			id: "minecraft:trim",
			predicate: {material: "minecraft:lapis" }
		}
	]
}

When testing the item id together with the specified item tests would check for minecraft:leather_boots["minecraft:trim"~{material:"minecraft:lapis"}]

Renamed properties in storages

Properties in the item storage and the card storage have been renamed to follow snake_case convention.

Item Detection & Performance

The machinery room is obsolete now and has been removed. Item detection has been fully implemented using macros and no longer needs any command blocks.

This should improve the performance quite significantly, as running command blocks every tick was quite expensive.

Item detection now only runs for a player who had a change to their inventory and does not have any active checks that run every tick anymore.

Command blocks are also more expensive because they parse their command every time they are executed anew while functions are pre-parsed. Macro lines still may need to be parsed more often, but because of macro caching, they will only need to be re-parsed when a new card with different items is generated. The cache only caches up to 8 unique combinations of arguments per function file which means some functions have been duplicated to take advantage of the cache for 25 items. There will still be a small performance overhead for cache lookup.

Card Generation

Card generation also could be simplified using macros. Furthermore, there is no custom random number generator in place anymore, and instead the built-in random command is used.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Green Dye having the wrong internal id of fetchr:lime_dye (#236)
• Fixed spawning inside leaves in some spawn points
• Fixed vines not getting replaced by drop chute
• Fixed old skybox remaining when generating new card
  • This would lead to a black box hovering underneath the spawn point when re-generating a card with the same seed again.
