NeoFrontier

# NeoFrontier 2.0.2 Changelog ### Codex of the Nine Realms - Automatic Quest Tree Centering: Fixed an issue where opening the Codex or switching realms would drop you into empty black space. The quest tree now centers directly in the middle of your screen every time you open a realm tab. - Clean Realm Tab Names: Removed technical folder names (such as 02_alfheim and 03_nidavellir) from the sidebar. Tabs now display clean realm titles (Midgard, Alfheim, Nidavellir, Asgard, Muspelheim, Niflheim, Vanaheim, Helheim, Jotunheim, Yggdrasil, and Legendary Relics) alongside dedicated realm icons. - Quest Display & Codec Fixes: Fixed quest titles, descriptions, and item icons throughout all 244 quests so they load immediately without placeholder text or blank icons. - Immersive Lore & Guide: Replaced the default mod placeholder page with an introduction explaining Clan progression, boss gating, and Codex navigation. - Tutorial Popups Disabled: Removed intrusive tutorial popups on first launch so you can jump straight into the questline. ### Progression & Server Synchronization - Client-Server Parity: Synchronized all quest trees, realm definitions, and reward tables between client and server to ensure smooth progression tracking. - Camera Offset Fix: Patched internal camera offset calculations so dragging and panning across large quest branches remains smooth without jumping off-screen. ### Installation & Packaging - Release Package: Compiled as a native Modrinth modpack (NeoFrontier-2.0.2.mrpack) with all necessary client configs, resource packs, and mod overrides bundled out of the box.

# NeoFrontier 2.0.0 Release Changelog ## Codex & Quest System (Heracles) * Fixed Quest Tree Viewport: All 11 realm chapters (Midgard through Legendary Relics) are now symmetrically centered at (0, 0). Opening any chapter presents the quest tree directly in view without requiring manual panning or dragging. * Resolved 'New Quest' Display Bug: Quest titles and subtitles now adhere to Minecraft 1.21.1 Flat Component serialization, properly displaying unique quest names and objectives instead of generic fallback text. * Resolved Paper Map Icon Bug: Quest display icons now use structured item registry definitions, correctly rendering unique items, ingots, compasses, and artifacts instead of blank paper maps. * Quest Line Flow: Synchronized all dependency links across Midgard, Alfheim, Nidavellir, Asgard, Muspelheim, Niflheim, Vanaheim, Helheim, Jotunheim, and Yggdrasil. ## Clan & Progression Mechanics * One-Time Clan Selection: Players choose their team upon joining Midgard. Once selected, clan choices are permanently locked to ensure fair team progression. * Team Isolated Gateways: Realm gateway progression is tracked per team. Defeating an apex boss unlocks the next dimension exclusively for the victorious team. * Operator Management: Added administrative command `/function nine_horizons:admin/reset_player_team` allowing server operators to reassign or reset player clans when necessary. ## Modpack Packaging & Installation * Offline Resource Pack Bundling: Bundled all 12 custom and community resource packs directly inside `overrides/resourcepacks/`. This prevents Prism Launcher and Modrinth App hash mismatch errors during modpack import. * Mod Cleanup: Removed obsolete and incompatible mods including legacy FTB Quests files, Sinytra crash fixes, BetterGuard kick triggers, Neruina, and Questlog. * Portal Gateway Integration: Bundled the dedicated Nine Horizons Portals mod (`nine_horizons_portals-1.0.jar`) with PlaceholderAPI for server-client gateway sync. * Server List Preset: Pre-configured the official production server entry (`play.neofrontier.v6.army`) directly in `servers.dat`. ## Visuals & Balancing * Valkyrie Wings Overhaul: Reworked the Valkyrie flight wings into a 2D multi-tonal gold feather design with warm bronze shading and radiant specular glints. * Performance Presets: Optimized default client and server configuration files for smooth rendering and reduced chunk tick overhead.

# NeoFrontier 2.0 - Official Changelog ## Team & Clan Progression System - Added a full Clan system featuring 8 colored teams: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Cyan, Orange, and White. - Friendly fire is disabled between teammates to keep boss battles fair and prevent accidental team kills. - One-time team selection: New players receive an interactive clickable selection menu in chat on their first join. Once chosen, their team is permanently locked in. Only server operators can move players between teams. - Realm progression is strictly isolated per team. When your team slays an Apex Boss, the next realm unlocks only for your clan. Other teams must defeat the boss themselves to advance. - Offline teammates automatically sync and catch up to all realms unlocked by their clan the moment they log in. - Solo players who prefer playing without a team retain their own individual progression without disruption. - Added operator management commands: `/team join team_<color> <player>` to reassign players, and `/execute as <player> run function nine_horizons:admin/reset_player_team` to prompt them with the selection menu again. ## World Progression & Realm Gating - Completely overhauled gating checks across all 10 Norse realms to ensure strict boss-by-boss progression: - Defeating The Prowler in Midgard unlocks Realm II: Alfheim (Twilight Forest). - Defeating the Ur-Ghast in Alfheim unlocks Realm III: Nidavellir (The Undergarden). - Defeating the Forgotten Guardian in Nidavellir unlocks Realm IV: Asgard (The Aether). - Defeating the Sun Spirit in Asgard unlocks Realm V: Muspelheim (The Nether). - Defeating Ignis in Muspelheim unlocks Realm VI: Niflheim (Glacial Realm). - Defeating Maledictus in Niflheim unlocks Realm VII: Vanaheim (Lush Realm). - Defeating The Leviathan in Vanaheim unlocks Realm VIII: Helheim (The Underworld). - Defeating the Netherite Monstrosity in Helheim unlocks Realm IX: Jotunheim (The End). - Defeating the Ender Guardian in Jotunheim unlocks Realm X: Yggdrasil and Godhood Ascension. - Attempting to enter unearned realm portals safely bounces players back with a clear title message indicating which boss must be slain first. ## Stability, Crash Fixes & Anti-Cheat - Fixed a client crash in the Heracles quest system where opening chapters or resolving registries caused a NullPointerException. - Removed BetterGuard and Anti-Xray mods after discovering they false-flagged standard client mods (like Xaero's Minimap and World Map) and banned connecting players. - Removed outdated channel dependencies that caused "multiplayer.disconnect.incompatible" connection errors. - Fixed custom portal crafting recipes for the ancient realms to prevent recipe conflicts. ## Performance & Server Tuning - Integrated ServerCore performance profiles with villager pathfinding lobotomization, dynamic activation ranges, and duplicate fluid tick cancellations. - Optimized client memory usage with FerriteCore and ModernFix mixin enhancements. - Configured client default simulation distance to 8 chunks to maintain smooth framerates in dense dimensions. ## Visuals, Audio & Custom Content - Redesigned the Valkyrie Wings into an elegant 2D layered feather model featuring rich multi-tonal gold shading. - Added complete English localization entries (`en_us.json`) for all 16 custom Norse biomes and 4 custom dimensions. - Updated the starting books ("Codex of the Nine Realms" and "Chronicles of the Nine Realms") to explain team progression, claim mechanics, and realm portal activation recipes. - Added victory fanfare sounds and custom titles for all boss encounters that broadcast to winning clan members across the realm. ## Modpack Packaging & Distribution - Fixed an issue where importing the modpack into Prism Launcher failed with checksum mismatch warnings on texture packs. All 12 resource packs are now bundled directly in the archive overrides so they load instantly without network downloads. - Bundled the required non-Modrinth dependencies (Heracles, Twilight Forest, and our custom Nine Horizons portal mod) inside overrides with full open-source licensing compliance. - Pre-configured the default multiplayer server entry to connect directly to the official server domain (`play.neofrontier.v6.army`).
