+# Release v1.2.0 - The Voxel Architect Update
+
+This release turns Gemini AI Companion into a true structured Minecraft builder instead of a raw command generator.
+
+### Main additions
+- **Structured voxel architect**: The AI can now return a `build_plan` with cuboids, single-block placements, palettes, rotations, and phased `steps[]`.
+- **Terrain-aware planning**: New `buildsite` scanning gives the model real local terrain context before it builds.
+- **Planner validation and repair**: The build pipeline validates block IDs, block states, volume, coordinates, rotations, and support, then repairs common near-miss issues automatically.
+- **Phased construction**: Larger builds can decompose into foundation, walls, roof, details, and follow-up passes.
+- **Safer special block handling**: Better expansion and normalization for doors, beds, stairs, slabs, fences, panes, and walls.
+- **Support-aware execution**: Floating plans can be repaired with support pillars, and obviously unsupported builds are rejected with useful retry feedback.
+- **Undo for structured builds**: `/chat undo` can now restore terrain and block-entity state after planner-driven builds.
+
+### Gemini runtime improvements
+- **Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview** is now the Pro target.
+- **Native structured output schema** is applied to Gemini requests for more reliable JSON responses.
+- **Better loop control** reduces repeated tool spam and pointless ASK/TOOL bouncing on simple build requests.
+- **API fallback handling** now retries cleaner on transient Gemini failures.
+
+### Why this release matters
+You can now ask for things like:
+- `build me a little oak house here`
+- `make a compact furnace shed next to me`
+- `build a watchtower with a stone base and wood roof`
+
+and the mod will plan the structure, validate it, repair what it can, execute it safely, and preserve an undo path.
