# Changes: - Is now designed for Minecraft (1.)26.2! - Fixed a bug from the Admin Settings system causing your settings to be lost after an update. - Updated advancement background to match game update's theme. # Dev Notes: To avoid the possibility of clashing with an update for another pack in the Collection that hasn't arrived yet (what I call "future clashing"), I often release the entire collection at once when all my packs are ready. But, some packs always need more work than others, and I'd hate having to wait for another pack to be ready for me to use this one when it's actually been finished. So I'll be working on a solution that'll help me release packs closer to when it was finished, while not having to risk dealing with future clashing. I'll try to get it ready by the time 1.26.3 gets released, so we'll have a proper test run on how well that goes. If you appreciate the care I put into every release and the behind the scenes tools that makes all this possible, [consider supporting me directly here](https://thediamondplayables.com/donate) . Your support lets me do this more often, so you'll get these updates even sooner!

Comments from me at the time: I left this update for later because there were some limitations with the project that I've always wanted to fix. I also wanted to add customizations to this project to better fit your worlds. Also, sorry that it took me this long to get it done. I really want to have more time to keep on doing things like this, but [life stuff is pretty hard right now](https://discord.com/channels/553204669560913922/868462025070751744/1310939890309009472) , which is what's really been dragging this back. You can help me get out of those problems (so I can get stuff out much quicker) [over on Patreon](https://thediamondplayables.com/donate) - I really need your support there if you can afford it. Anyways, here are the changes: # CropBooster tweaks: - The CropBooster **is now craftable** by placing a Composter below a Bone Block! - This replaces the previous "throw a Bone Block in the Composter" setup method. - "<ins>Boosting Season</ins>" has also been reworked to account for this change. - Note that CropBoosters need to be <ins>placed in your line of sight</ins> to work properly. - There's a sound cue and some particles above the block to let you know when it works. - Breaking a CropBooster <ins>now drops it as an item</ins>, which lets you freely move it around! - A side effect of this: CropBooster might not work as well with packs that modifies the Composter's block drop. I'll tweak this if there is a better workaround. - The CropBooster block also has some tweaked functionality, but **all these are side-effects and shouldn't be considered as mechanics**. # Boosting tweaks: - **CropBoosters no longer works on Sea Pickles.** - Gameplay wise, setting it up is far too costly when compared to the benefits it brings. - Also because you really can't boost something that doesn't grow on its own. - As always, feel free to leave your opinions on any of my decisions [on Discord](https://thediamondplayables.com/contact) ! - CropBoosters **now encourages maxed Melon/Pumpkin plants to deliver its crops**! - **CropBoosters' compost use has also been increased**. Previous values are still too powerful. - Major improvements to project's boosting code performance! - Reworked boosted crops' growth rates to make it more reliant of the value it delivers. - Tweaked **Glow Berry chance from 12% to 20%** (about twice Vanilla's berry rates). - Makes the idea a bit more appealing if you're doing something like that. # Admin Settings: Added Admin Settings^`1` to CropBooster, which **lets you tweak things directly in-game** to fit your worlds! Available options are: - <ins>Boost Range</ins>: Controls how wide the boosting square is. - <ins>Boost Rate</ins>: Percentage, controls how often CropBoosters boost crops! - <ins>Boost Loss Rate</ins>: Percentage, controls how often the CropBooster uses up Compost for boosts. - Boost Growth Rate^`2`: Percentage which controls how fast the crop grows when boosted. - <ins>Glow Berries' Fruit Rate</ins>: Percentage, controls how often a Glow Berry is made when boosted by CropBooster. # Extras: - Added Admin Commands! To use these commands: - Simply type `/function tdp.`, and the game should give you suggestions on what to use. **Side note:** Any suggestions **with underscores followed by numbers** are **for internal use only** and won't work if run on their own. - Only those with the "Allow Commands" permission can use Admin Commands. - Admins can also give themselves custom items added by my projects with the new give Command! - Syntax: `/function tdp.give:cropbooster/<item> {count:<1-6400>}` - Fixed several inconsistencies between boosted Bamboo and regular Bamboo in specific cases: - Bamboo sizes not being large if boosted when tall enough. - Bamboo leaves duplicate in certain growth states when modified. - A lot of filenames have been changed to properly organize everything. - IDs have been removed and is now replaced by code names. - The format is now tdp:code_name/data, to reserve the old names for Admin Commands. - After 6 years of making datapacks, <ins>we finally have icons now!</ins> - Improved the look of info text messages. - Text files have been merged into one single Interactive Help File. - I have to learn 3 new languages to get all this to work as well as it did. - Not the best at it yet, but it works well enough for now. - The master background has been updated for major releases as always. - Codebase now uses Scripter 4. ### Footnotes: `1`: `/function tdp.config:cropbooster` `2`: <ins>There is one for each supported plant!</ins> [](https://thediamondplayables.com/modrinth_notes) - Here's the real secret: I've been doing all this since 2018, but ad revenue alone is **tiny** compared to the time it took to research, develop, test, and maintain all this for free. - As a result, most of my days are swallowed by other work just to keep the lights on. - With your help though, I'll be able to go full-time: Faster updates, better tools, and many more features. Together, we don’t just keep this going, we build it into what it was always meant to be. - So [help me keep the lights on here](https://thediamondplayables.com/support), and have fun with CropBooster! --- <div align=center><a href="https://thediamondplayables.com/support"><img src="https://thediamondplayables.com/minecraft/datapacks/_assets/arts/contacts/patreon.webp" alt="Help me keep the lights on!" width=360></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://thediamondplayables.com/community"><img src="https://thediamondplayables.com/minecraft/datapacks/_assets/arts/contacts/discord.webp" alt="Join the Discord for updates and feedback!" width=360></a></div>

# Changes: - Is now designed for Minecraft (1.)26.1! - Updated advancement background to match game update's theme. - IHF Files: - Moved all external sources to [my website](https://thediamondplayables.com) instead of using a third party supplier. - Fixed an issue causing certain elements to pop up ahead of the image overlay. - Optimized all online images using .webp instead of .png (faster load times). - Improved load times for all online lookups by about 80%! PS: Sorry for being late with this one, I had a lot more work to do in real life the past few weeks, otherwise I risk losing a major income source needed to keep myself going.

After a while of having to deal with landmines that came with Mounts of Mayhem, the Datapack Series are finally here for the last game drop of 2025! # Changes: - Is now designed for Minecraft 1.21.11! - **Admin Books have been removed** and replaced with the Admin Settings menu. - The Admin Settings menu lets you <ins>tweak all settings in one go, and apply them all at once</ins>! - Accessing this menu <ins>is the same as getting the Admin Book</ins>, so it should be easy to get used to it. - New Presets Menu: - This lets you <ins>view and edit a Custom Preset's values</ins> before applying them! - Triggers each time you load a <ins>Custom Preset</ins>. - New Show Configs Menu: - This lets all players read Admin Setting values in detail! - Access by running `/trigger tdp.readconfigs`. - Players will be notified on how to access this menu each time the Settings were changed. - The player who made changes to packs' Admin Commands are no longer announced in-game. - Mainly because that job is meant for the server consoles, and that information doesn't help with the players' gameplay experience anyway. - Tweaked the names, descriptions of all CropBooster's setting buttons to better match the interface it's now in. - IHF files now have their descriptions updated to reflect the recent set of changes. - Updated advancement background to match game update's theme. # Update notes: - Because the underlying system has to be reworked to support Admin Settings, **your settings will be reset** when you update to this version. - Don't worry though, <ins>you can bring your settings back instantly</ins> by loading a preset saved in the previous version, so be sure to do that before updating! ## Dev comments: - If you're wondering why I'm dropping the Admin Books now: **Mojang secretly obliterated a hidden mechanic** that I used to make Admin Books feel nice to use, this was on top of [the forced confirmation screen](https://web.archive.org/web/20250701223507/https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-java-edition-1-21-6#:~:text=Users%20will%20now%20be%20prompted%20for%20confirmation%20before%20executing%20a%20command%20from%20the%20run_command%20click%20action%20in%20books%20and%20chat%20if%20the%20command%20can%27t%20be%20parsed%20or%20requires%20elevated%20permissions%20(i.e.%2C%20higher%20than%200)) they added in 1.21.6. - Even if it's a bug that'll eventually be fixed, <ins>the damage has already been done</ins>, and I had to deal with it if I want to properly update all my packs to this release. - The reality is, adding new tools to make stuff with proper care just takes this long, and I have to make sure that the tool I'd built won't cause pack clashes when it's used on my other packs that were also running on Book Binder.

The Copper Age has arrived across the Datapack Series! Sorry that it took me a bit later than expected to get the pack updated. I found a lot of landmine changes with this update and I really don't want Scripter to miss any edge cases, as that could affect the entire collection.

**Note**: This update is optional if you're already on Version 21fx^`1`. # Changes: - Is now designed for Minecraft 1.21.7 and 1.21.8! ### Footnotes: `1`: Designed for Minecraft 1.21.6.

After going through the update in detail, I figured out that there's not a lot of reasonable changes that needs to be made, so don't expect much for this update. Enjoy! # Changes: - Is now designed for Minecraft 1.21.6 and 1.21.7! - Updated advancement background to match game update's theme. ## Development notes: In 1.21.6, Mojang made a sweeping change which makes clickable texts significantly more annoying by [adding a forced confirmation screen](https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-java-edition-1-21-6#:~:text=Users%20will%20now%20be%20prompted%20for%20confirmation%20before%20executing%20a%20command%20from%20the%20run_command%20click%20action%20in%20books%20and%20chat%20if%20the%20command%20can%27t%20be%20parsed%20or%20requires%20elevated%20permissions) behind each and every one of them. There's a good reason as to why they've done this^`1`, but the side effect of that change will affect your experience with Admin Books moving forward. I'll be dropping another patch in the future to work around this issue, though that'll most likely come sometime after the Update Series is finished. For now though, have fun with CropBooster! ### Footnotes: `1`: Best I can think of is that it at least makes it harder for server owners to harm their servers by interacting with arbitrary click actions.
