Console Aspects

The Wolf Update (3.2.2) [1.20.80+ ONLY]

==Pack==

Technical:

• Added a unicode font replacement ZIP file to force the Mojangles font when certain characters are used (Thanks, @[email protected]!)
  • This is optional because many obscure characters are not supported and will not render with this replacement font
• Updated the Aspects Missing Texture Patch with the following changes:
  • Added trial spawner and vault support
  • Updated “blocks.json” to match the new variation format from Java Aspects
  • Removed “terrain_texture.json” as the new variation system makes it unnecessary
• Updated “console_enchantment_glint.zip” to include the mace
• Updated the minimum game version required to use the pack to 1.20.80, which means this pack is no longer compatible with earlier versions
• Changed pack UUID to be compatible with earlier versions of this pack
• Updated pack version to 3.2.2

Pack Documents:

• Updated Credits Policy to be clear about the rights contributors have once they have contributed a feature
  • In summary, AgentMindStorm receives full modification and distribution rights of all contributed features, including right to monetize, and contributors may not request to have their features removed after contributing. In return, AgentMindStorm agrees to list all contributors and their list of contributions which are still in the pack in the Credits document in Java/Console Aspects.
  • This may sound aggressive, but it is the way contributions have worked since July 17, 2023. The specifics about distribution rights were not in writing until now, but they’ve been treated that way for years. I do not want to deal with removing features that have been heavily integrated into Aspects if a contributor decides they do not want me to use their features anymore, which has happened in the past. It is a little disappointing to have to write comprehensive terms like this because Aspects has operated on the honor system for over six years, but this guarantees the pack will not lose features without warning in the future.
• Updated pack and subpack descriptions
• Updated the custom tab with the latest Changelog and Credits
• Updated the Credits, Command List, Feature List, and Full List of Performance, Updated, and Compatibility Changes to be correct with this version

==Notes==

• This update has three minor issues on 1.20.80 due to upcoming changes in 1.21. Plain splash and lingering potions (such as the splash water bottle) show the Wind Charged texture when thrown, cobwebs use wet grass sounds, and the breeze rod is posed incorrectly in the hand. These changes have been implemented now to make the transition into 1.21 smoother; if they were the other way around, the 1.21 update would break these features instead of fixing them.
• In 1.20.80, Bedrock Edition’s built-in durability bar colors were changed to match Console Edition. As a result, it was possible to merge the Fidelity and Performance versions of this feature into one. Inventory screens will lag less when opened for Fidelity players as well. Unfortunately, the built-in durability bars might be hard-coded to disappear in the hotbar when the player is in Creative Mode. If you can find a solution for this, please send it to me! The performance improvements outweigh this minor downside.
• The cape geometry included in Aspects to fix MCPE-126660 causes short arms to be disconnected from maps first-person animations. This is not a new issue in this update. Vote to fix the bug here: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-126660
• One cause of the missing texture bug is the presence of a folder and an image with the same name in the same directory. This is why iron golems sometimes appeared as pink and black. This update removes duplicate folder and image names in the pack. The Missing Texture Patch will still be required for devices which fail to load terrain_texture.json, which is the other major cause of missing textures.
• Flow and guster banner pattern description colors, along with the 1.21 effect colors, have not been implemented for all languages yet because Java Edition is missing the translation strings. Support for all languages will come once 1.21 is released.
• Sounds which are played through animations have an incorrect attentuation distance, cull when off-screen, don’t respect baby high pitching, and don’t randomly vary in pitch like other mob sounds. Only the phantom, warden, camel, sniffer, breeze, and armadillo use them. All these issues have been fixed in this update.
• The heavy core item icon works without hiding the original item display as the Java Edition icon covers the original render completely.
• The Legacy4J mod for Java Edition is quite similar to Console Aspects + Legacy Console UI, but for Java! Although the mod is still in development, I highly recommend it. The creator, Wilyicaro, has full permission to use any assets from Console Aspects in the mod.
