Add dimension-aware tracking for boss mobs and update the boss health
GUI system to maintain independent state for each dimension (Overworld,
Nether, End). This prevents conflicts when multiple bosses exist across
different dimensions simultaneously.
- Add `getDimension()` to `BossMob` base class and implement in
`EnderDragon` and `WitherBoss`
- Replace static boss GUI state with dimension-indexed storage
- Introduce `getIndexFromDimension()` helper for dimension mapping
- Update rendering logic to use per-dimension state
- Isolate darkening effects and health display per dimension

Matches the packet size limit used by the plugin-api fork. Our 512KB
limit caused "Connection lost" when their server sent large packets
(e.g. chunk data) that exceeded our cap.
Chunk loading now batches up to 16 nearest-first requests per player per
tick on dedicated server (client stays at 1), improving tick recovery
time after player join.
Reverts the async save system -- the background thread snapshot/compress
path added complexity without measurable benefit. Autosave on Windows64
server now uses the standard synchronous flush like client, in
preparation for a proper async implementation from upstream.
Implement Book & Quill:
- IUIScene_WritingBookMenu and UIScene_BookAndQuillMenu for UI
- Edited UIControl_Label to add direct editing (quite hardcoded to my needs right now)
- Reimplement scrapped custom payload packets for books and signing
- Other misc changes
TODO:
- Coloured and scambled text
- Book copying
- Clean up code
The previous IQNet cleanup in handleRemoveEntity fired on every entity
despawn, which happens both when a player goes out of tracking range
and when they disconnect. This caused players to vanish from the Tab
list whenever they moved beyond render distance.
Introduce two custom payload channels (MC|ForkHello, MC|ForkPLeave) so
the client can distinguish "out of range" from "actually left":
- Server sends MC|ForkHello during login to identify itself as a fork
- Server sends MC|ForkPLeave with the player's gamertag on disconnect
- Client skips IQNet cleanup in handleRemoveEntity on fork servers
- Client cleans up IQNet only when MC|ForkPLeave arrives
Fully backwards-compatible: no existing packet wire formats changed.
Upstream clients ignore the unknown channels, fork clients on upstream
servers fall back to the old entity-tracking-based cleanup.
Rewire the SWF focus chain via Iggy so VSync, Fullscreen, and Render
Distance are reachable with keyboard/gamepad navigation.
Cap render distance slider at 16 chunks. Shift graphics menu layout
up 60px for better centering.
Fix skin preview walk/attack animations running too fast with VSync
off by scaling per-frame increments by delta time relative to 60fps.
The walking and attack animations in the Change Skin menu were
frame-rate-dependent, advancing per render call with no delta time
scaling. With uncapped FPS they ran proportionally too fast.
Add time-based scaling relative to a 60fps baseline. The scale is
computed once per frame (cached for 0.5ms) so multiple skin previews
rendered in the same frame all animate at the correct speed.
StorageManager.SaveSaveData() blocks until the disk write completes.
Calling it from the game thread caused 2.5s freezes. Now it only runs
from TickCoreSystems() on the ServerMain thread, which operates
independently of the game tick loop.
Move StorageManager.AllocateSaveData() back under the save lock (called
on the game thread before releasing). Background thread now only does
pure zlib compression with no StorageManager calls.
Add CommitPendingAsyncSave() to both the game thread tick and
TickCoreSystems() to ensure saves commit during bootstrap, normal
gameplay, and shutdown.
Autosave previously froze the main thread for 2-6 seconds while
compressing the entire save file with zlib. Now the save buffer is
snapshotted under the lock (~18ms), then compression runs on a
background thread. The compressed data is committed to StorageManager
on the next main-thread tick via CommitPendingAsyncSave().
Also skip redundant full chunk saves during autosave on the dedicated
server -- chunks are already persisted by the per-tick trickle save.
Only entity data is flushed, matching Xbox/Orbis behavior.
Added per-step timing to the autosave handler for diagnostics.
The EntityTracker and TrackedEntity classes have O(players^2 * entities)
loops that check IsSameSystem() for split-screen couch co-op visibility
expansion. On the dedicated server, all players are remote so
IsSameSystem() always returns false, making these loops pure overhead.
Skip them entirely when g_Win64DedicatedServer is true. The original
split-screen logic is preserved for game client LAN hosting.
The security gate was closed before LoginPacket was sent in placeNewPlayer,
causing all login setup packets to be buffered behind the cipher handshake.
Under high-latency connections, the flushed data arrived before the player
object was initialized, causing a null pointer crash. The gate now closes
after the login sequence and MC|CKey are sent.
Bypass the 4J RenderManager's hardcoded SyncInterval=1 by calling
the DXGI swap chain directly with Present(0, ALLOW_TEARING) when
VSync is disabled. Falls back to the library's Present on failure.
Relocate VSync/Fullscreen setting flags from bits 18-19 to bits 24-25
to eliminate overlap with the render distance byte (bits 16-23).
Sync the Fullscreen game setting when F11 is pressed so the graphics
menu checkbox stays accurate.
Remove tracked DumpSwf.class (already covered by tools/*.class gitignore).
BedrockFog removal via removeControl with centreScene=true triggered
Flash-side repositioning that didn't account for the tool-added VSync
and Fullscreen checkboxes, creating a gap after CustomSkinAnim and
causing RenderDistance to render behind Gamma.
On Windows64 (single player per client), the console splitscreen
host-check that removed BedrockFog/CustomSkinAnim is unnecessary.
Gate it behind #ifndef _WINDOWS64 so all controls stay visible.
Display hardcore heart textures when a world is in hardcore mode,
matching Java Edition behavior. Hearts switch between normal/hardcore
across all states (poison, wither, flash) and all HUD resolutions.
C++ changes:
- IUIScene_HUD: check isHardcore() and call SetHardcoreMode() each tick
- UIScene_HUD: send hardcore boolean to Flash via Iggy, invalidate
SetHealth dirty check on state change to force heart redraw
- CreateWorldMenu/LoadMenu: lock game mode to Survival when hardcore
- MinecraftServer: gate server.properties hardcore override behind
MINECRAFT_SERVER_BUILD so offline worlds preserve their saved flag
SWF changes (via new Java tools):
- AddHardcoreBitmaps: adds 10 hardcore heart bitmaps to graphics SWFs
- AddHardcoreHearts: adds 10 new frames (15-24) to health sprite
- PatchHudABC: patches HUD ActionScript bytecode with SetHardcore
method and frame offset logic (+14 normal/poison, +6 wither)
Also updates README changelog styling with consistent ### headings.
