Hello once again. This is a big update, huge even. I've been working basically nonstop for a week and this is the result. I made a lot of changes to the backend, so I hope everything is working and there are no bugs or crashes. I also figured out the multiversion thing, which is cool. If you find any issues, want a new feature, or just want something to get improved, please open an issue on GitHub. I will read it all and try to implement it if I can or if it's a good idea. I still have lots of plans for this mod, but I can assure you this was probably the biggest update it will receive for a while. **Changes:** - Reworked project to use Stonecutter addon for multiversion support - Added support for Minecraft 1.21 - 1.21.11 - Created GitHub Wiki for documentation on spawn data - Changed some of the spawning conditions - Blue Jays will now spawn only in biomes with tags: IS_FOREST, IS_TAIGA, IS_JUNGLE - Crows can now spawn on Terracotta - Added ocean avoidance for Blue Jays - Reworked block avoidance, making birds bounce off walls and ceilings instead of clipping through them - Reworked flight height handling, making it more varied and smooth - Made Blue Jays fly lower to the ground than crows - Changed flock flight behaviour to navigate more smoothly - Added small random delay before taking off normally - Added small delay before scared take off based on player distance from each bird - Updated sprite handling *(this is like the herobrine being removed every update)* - Changed base command to be prettier, with a link to the wiki - Added new subcommand "help" to see links to the wiki and issues - Added config option to disable spawning for each bird type - Removed unused mixins, making the mod compatible with Sinytra Connector - Refactored most of the backend for easier management and better performance tracking - Fixed max flock size not working properly, adding cooldown for joining a flock - Fixed a bug making birds fly infinitely to the sky (hopefully) - Fixed perching cooldown not having any effect, also making it longer - Fixed birds being able to perch onto a block above them - Fixed taking off animation making birds clip through walls - Fixed birds clipping into the ground when landing - Optimized a bunch of things, making the mod faster than ever - Added grid partitioning to the flocking logic - Caching flock neighbours to avoid recalculating them every tick - Ground sampling is using heightmap instead of raycasting - Optimized perching logic and scanning - Optimized lookup of the same species in the flocking logic - Small optimization when trying to spawn

Hello again, I'm sorry for the big pause on updates. I didn't have a lot of motivation or time to continue working on this, but I managed to make yet another banger update. With the new additions I figured multiversion handling will be a lot harder than I thought, and for this reason I won't be updating below the version 26.1 for now. I will look into Stonecutter gradle addon so I can hopefully manage it better, but no promises. **Changes:** - Added a new bird **Blue Jay** - Reworked crow textures - Updated flocking behaviour and added max flock size (crows are unlimited) - Added commands, for now mainly just for debugging - Fixed multiple texts in debugging and config screen - Updated the sprite handling (once again, this is the final time, I promise) - Changed some of the backend logic to support more bird additions in future - Fixed daylight spawning This update might still be buggy, I hope I fixed everything and made it polished enough, if anything comes up, please flood my Issues section on GitHub. I will read it all, even if it's dumb stuff.

> Sorry for the late update, I could not decide if I want to keep updating the old version. However, since I made it easy for myself I can update it for a while. I will keep updating it until there are either too many merge conflicts or it's way too hard to update. For now there are no plans to support older versions since it would require me to rewrite a lot of code, but maybe in the future... **Changes:** - Changed the way sprites are facing the camera

**Changes:** - Ported to Minecraft 26.1 - Changed the way sprites are facing the camera

**Changes:** - Added "Spawning on Chunk Load" and "Ambient Spawning" config options - Added minimum values to the config options (to prevent user inputting negative values) - Changed some of the flocking behavior - Changed crow take off to be more smooth - Lowered crow wing flapping speed when rising - Optimized a bunch of small things - Fixed crow spawning when crow limit number in config was really low - Fixed crow sprite not updating when going fast upwards - Fixed possible crashes - Fixed small memory leak

**Changes:** - Added "Spawn Below Sea Level" config option - Optimized the flocking data management - Fixed several spawning issues - Fixed some of the spawning condition checks - Fixed possible memory leaks - Changed the log messages to be unified with the rest of the project

At first I thought I would release a few of small updates, gradually fixing what was broken. However since Modrinth took forever to review this mod (not blaming them though, I hope they enjoyed their break 🥰) I didn't feel like releasing the changes and they somehow built up into this massive release. Honestly it feels like a completely different mod at this point, but it's still early in development. There are still quite a lot of things I would like to fix before I start adding more bird variants. **Changes:** - Completely refactored and optimized the backend, now supporting easy addition of new birds - Fixed the crow spawning: - Crows spawn like they should (just set the Minecraft var alwaysSpawn to true lol) - Removed the custom height check -> Now only able to spawn above sea level - Rewrote the spawn location calculation to be further away (closer to config value) - Optimized the crow spawning if the max limit is reached - Added spawning attempt after loading every 4th chunk (to populate the world when it loads) - Added a list of spawnable blocks (to prevent spawning on things like water...) - Added a despawn distance (render distance + 16 blocks) - Added a random wing flapping offset to each crow - Rewrote perching logic: - Crows now should land more sparsely from each other when in group - Less inclined to perch after spawning - Fixed some bugs with group perching - Added longer perch cooldown based on how long the crows were perched - Added a check that adds any missing values inside the config file - Added max bird particle count config value - Replaced the missing Cloth Config disabled button with centered label - Changed some of the config tooltip texts - Categorized the config values inside the JSON file - Changed some of the default config values: - Max number of crows: 120 -> 50 - Spawn tick delay: 100 -> 200

**Changes:** - Updated the wing flapping speed to be based on the vertical speed of the crow - Added crow debug text option to the config - Turned the mod to be completely client-side only (will figure out the server-side later on) - Reduced final jar file size (by not including the /docs folder) - Updated the mod icon

The first release, yippiee!! **Important info:** - This is the alpha release, most things will be bugged or just not working at all - mostly the spawning and crow behaviour is not finished (but somewhat working) - Only works for Fabric loader and Minecraft 1.21.11
