BatteryCraft beta.5 gives you more control over battery profiles: lower FPS caps stay lower, and detected manual graphics edits are preserved. Lower FPS caps stay lower Profiles now use the lower of your original Minecraft cap and their configured cap by default. Original 60 + profile 120 → 60 FPS cap. Enable Allow profiles to raise the FPS cap to explicitly permit a higher cap. Available in Sodium General settings and the fallback configuration window, in English and Spanish. A profile cap of 0 retains your original cap. Detected manual FPS edits still take priority. Your manual changes are protected BatteryCraft tracks each managed setting separately, comparing its current value with the last value applied by the mod. Detected edits remain under your control through battery, low-battery and critical-battery transitions and reconnection. Untouched settings continue to follow profiles and restore normally. Reconnecting in Automatic mode or disabling saving ends the saving session. Your retained settings become the baseline for the next session. Recovery and upgrades Recovery snapshots now store original values, last-applied values and detected manual overrides, protecting saved edits after an unexpected close. Existing beta.4 recovery snapshots remain readable. Configuration migration preserves custom profiles and notification preferences. Profile-change messages no longer display a requested cap as if it were the effective FPS cap.

🔋 BatteryCraft 1.0.0-beta.4 The new version of BatteryCraft is here! This update brings native Sodium integration, quieter battery reminders, and optimized profiles designed to prioritize lower resource usage and save energy. ✨ What's New & Key Changes 🎨 Native Sodium Video-Settings Pages Find BatteryCraft directly under Options > Video Settings when using a compatible Sodium Config API. All 36 options adopt Sodium’s Apply/Cancel flow, complete with English and Spanish labels and tooltips. 🤫 Quieter Battery Reminders Periodic battery messages are now disabled by default (including when upgrading from beta.3). Easily configure custom intervals, such as 15 min + 0 s or 30 min + 0 s. ⚡ Lighter Rendering Profiles New default FPS caps: 🔋 On Battery: 120 FPS 🪫 Low Battery: 90 FPS 🚨 Critical Battery: 60 FPS (Includes lower rendering and simulation distances. Custom profiles are fully preserved). ⚙️ Clearer FPS Control The setting now reads "Maximum FPS on battery." Setting it to 0 maintains Minecraft's original cap—it does not necessarily mean unlimited FPS. 🔌 Smart Recovery & Auto Mode Connecting external power in Automatic mode restores your original settings. The Smart Recovery feature protects those settings across unexpected shutdowns. 🛠️ Fixes & Quality Assurance 🐛 Startup Fix (Alpha.2): Sodium groups and pages are attached only after their contents are fully populated. ✅ 21 Automated Tests Passed: Includes regression coverage using Sodium 0.8.12's actual builders. 📦 JAR Verification: All three target JARs were built, verified for proper versioning, and translation-checked. 🎮 Tested & Working: Confirmed operational in Minecraft 1.21.11 with Fabulously Optimized and Sodium 0.8.12. ℹ️ Note: FPS and battery life gains have not been benchmarked; set FPS caps represent limits, not guaranteed frame rates. 📦 Installation Guide 🛑 Close Minecraft completely. 🔌 Ensure you have Fabric Loader and Fabric API installed. 🔄 Replace your previous BatteryCraft JAR file with the new matching version. ☕ Java Requirements: Minecraft 1.21.x: Requires Java 21.
