## Azur 1.6.0 Beta 4 — Minecraft 26.3 ### GIFChat compatibility hotfix - Updated bundled GIFChat to 0.6.1+26.3. - Fixed the FileDropMixin signature mismatch that caused Minecraft 26.3 to crash during startup. - Updated click-to-save handling to use Minecraft 26.3 mouse-button constants. - GIF posting and animated playback remain included. The server and receiving players need a compatible GIFChat installation; local preview works without a supporting server. - Crystal menu, Cherry Blossom Panorama, BSL Medium defaults and other public mods are unchanged. Missing-file defaults preserve existing user settings. ### Validation and limitations - All 40 automated GIFChat tests passed. Manifest downloads and archive contents were checked. - Tested startup, isolated-world save/reload, local GIF preview, animated playback, click-to-save and send/receive through the integrated server. No external multiplayer-server test or existing-world migration test was performed. - Physical file drag-and-drop and video conversion were not manually exercised in this run. - An early test without GIFChat had a native Java 25.0.2 jvm.dll access violation. Subsequent starts succeeded; this hotfix does not claim to fix that separate intermittent issue. - Item Rename remains omitted. Unlocked Typing and Model Gap Fix remain unavailable for this target. - Back up your instance and worlds before updating, especially before Minecraft world upgrades. This remains a beta; data-loss-free migration is not guaranteed. Credits: GIFChat is bundled under CC0. Cherry Blossom Panorama by BlueHDGaming; BSL by capttatsu; FancyMenu, Konkrete and Melody by Keksuccino and contributors. Existing bundled credits and licenses remain included. Azur menu artwork was created with AI assistance.

## GIFs in your chat Added GIF Chat 0.6.0 for Minecraft 26.3 / Fabric. Send local GIFs using drag-and-drop or `/gif send`, preview them locally with `/gif preview`, and click received GIFs to save them. Video conversion is available through an optional FFmpeg download offered by the mod. **Multiplayer requirement:** the server and receiving clients need compatible GIF Chat installations for their Minecraft version. Installing Azur alone does not enable GIF sharing on ordinary servers without GIF Chat. The crystal menu, Cherry Blossom Panorama, BSL Medium defaults and existing public mod selection are preserved. Existing settings are preserved through missing-file defaults. ### Validation and limitations No automated tests or game tests were performed for this integration. The 26.3 port compiles successfully; runtime and mixin compatibility remain untested. This release remains a beta, and Item Rename is still omitted. Back up your instance and worlds before updating, especially before upgrading Minecraft.

Configured Defaults supplies missing settings files only; menu layouts and bundled menu assets are updated. ### Beta limitations Item Rename remains omitted. Its rename/lore/glow commands and edit-lock checks are unavailable. Unlocked Typing remains a disabled tracking placeholder; do not enable its older JAR on 26.3. OptiGUI and Simple Voice Chat retain their beta builds from Beta 1. ### Validation Download hashes and archive contents checked. Client startup, accessibility welcome screen, small/maximized menu rendering and Options navigation tested in an isolated instance. The gameplay base is unchanged from the previously world-tested Beta 1. No new world migration, world-play or external multiplayer test was performed for this menu update. Back up worlds, settings, maps and waypoints before upgrading. Test a copy first; do not reopen upgraded worlds in older Minecraft versions. These tests do not guarantee lossless migration.

## Azur 1.6.0 Beta 1 — Minecraft 26.3 Hello again! Azur is ready for its first public Minecraft 26.3 beta. ### Changes - Updated 48 public-pack mods for Minecraft 26.3 / Fabric Loader 0.19.5. Bobby and Language Reload are included; Chat Upgrade remains removed. - Temporarily omitted Item Rename. Its rename/lore/glow commands and edit-lock checks are unavailable. Existing item-data migration has not been tested; retain backups and existing configuration. - Unlocked Typing remains a disabled placeholder for tracking only. Do not enable its older JAR on 26.3. - Updated the Azur and Low Fire resource-pack formats; removed an obsolete spyglass overlay. Cherry Blossom Panorama 1.1.5 and BSL 10.1.8 remain included, with BSL Medium enabled by default. - New-install defaults leave Voice Chat mute unbound so M opens the world map. Existing users may need to resolve that shortcut conflict manually. - Configured Defaults only supplies missing settings files; existing settings are preserved. ### Known limitations - OptiGUI 2.3.0-beta.10 and Simple Voice Chat 2.6.24 are beta builds. Zoomify is pinned to 2.16.3 for unambiguous Fabric dependency metadata. - This is a Beta, not a stable release. No external-server, multiplayer or existing-world migration test was performed. ### Tested On Windows with Java 25.0.2: client startup, creating a fresh isolated world, saving and quitting, a full client restart, opening the world list and loading the saved world again. Checked the panorama, BSL rendering, inventory/REI, minimap and world map on M. Required dependencies, exact version tags, download hashes and export contents were checked. The previous native JVM crash did not recur in these tests; its root cause was not established. Offline-test authentication/Realms errors, system performance-counter warnings and a REI runtime-registry warning were observed. No fatal startup or world-save error was observed in this candidate. **Back up worlds, settings, maps and waypoints before upgrading. Test a copy first; do not open an upgraded world in an older Minecraft version. These limited tests do not guarantee lossless migration.** Credits: Cherry Blossom Panorama by BlueHDGaming; BSL by capttatsu; Low Fire by Vanilla Tweaks. Mods belong to their respective authors.
