Better Statistics Screen

Minor tweaks to the mod's config file.
No action is needed on your part.

Port to 1.21.4.

Changes in TCDCommons API

• Improved JAR file security
• Removed the "Refresh current screen" key-binding from the controls settings, as that was intended to be a "debug"/"testing"-related feature.
• Resolved conflict with the Screenshot viewer mod that'd cause a crash when using the two mods together.

(Please install the latest version of TCDCommons API to receive the patches mentioned above.)

Changes in Better Statistics Screen

• Improved JAR file security
• Hovering over stat widgets in BSS will now play a small on-hover sound, to make the UI feel more "lively".
• Added a key-binding that allows you to toggle the stats HUD screen visibility. See Issue #141.

Regarding "improved security"

As a security measure, so as to keep everyone safer; starting from now, I will be signing all JAR files I publish on CurseForge and Modrinth. This will effectively make those JAR files "tamper-resistant".

Should anything on your device end up modifying one of my JAR files, be it malicious or not, Java will refuse to load those files, after which it will crash the game and show you errors relating things like "hash mismatches" and "invalid files". If you ever see those errors, I personally recommend you immediately shut off your internet connection, and start a virus scan.

The ultimate goal here being increased security and warning users should anything bad ever take place in the future.

Ported to 1.21.3+fabric.

• There was an error in the fr_fr.json translation file, that likely rendered the entire file unusable. Thanks to Jerome, this issue was spotted and resolved in pull request #139.

• A small tweak / bug fix where item and mob stats will now use their corresponding stat formatters when displaying stat values. Nothing will look different in vanilla, but may offer a bit more compatibility with modded stats.
• Removed the Google Frorms feedback button because literally next-to-nobody clicked on it. In other words, kinda pointless to have an unused feature. If you wish to submit feedback anyways, you may do so in the way everyone seems to prefer, that being by either opening an issue on GitHub or by contacting me directly.

• Implemented the feature that was suggested in GitHub Issue #11. Using the filters panel, you may now perform some simple "general stat value conversions". Basically, times and distances can now be viewed in other measurement units of your choosing.
  • The implementation in my opinion still needs some more tweaks and fixes, so I'll do that eventually as well. Hopefully it doesn't take 2 years again.

And lastly (for this release);
Waving 1.20.X goodbye for the 2nd time now. I know many people are still on 1.20.X and would like to see BSS updated on those versions, but as Minecraft gets more and more updates, dealing with all the versions becomes more and more complicated and time-consuming. As much as I'd love to keep maintaining 1.20.X, I'd have to write/port the same code I write 5-7 more times, do testing and ensure the code works 5-7 more times (one for each version), publish 5-7 more files.. you get the point. Basically, each development step has to be sort-of repeated for each version maintained. This unfortunately can't go on forever, as much as I'd want it to.
I hope that the features that I left in 1.20.X are useful for you, and thank you for using them!

v3.12.5 changelogs:

• Fixed a consistency bug when it comes to closing the BSS screen. Prior to 1.20.5, pressing the Escape keyboard key on the Statistics screen would unpause the game instead of going back to the game menu screen, so BSS should do the same.
• You can now Shift+LMB (aka shift-click) on the Statistics button to quickly open the vanilla statistics screen. This now serves as a shortcut that allows you to access the vanilla stats screen in less clicks.
• The quick-share feature now logs its related events to latest.log, so its easier to debug any errors taking place. When submitting bug reports regarding quick-share errors, please include the logs from now on, so I can actually see what's going on.
• To reduce network bandwidth usage, the quick-share feature will now compress the statistics using GZip prior to uploading them. I will likely be looking into finding ways to apply compression to downloads as well, so people viewing quick-shared stats can also benefit. For now, the compression only applies to uploads.

v3.12.6 changelogs

• The "Stat announcement system" feature is now disabled by default, rather than being enabled by default. You can always enable or disable it at any time.
  • This was done because people download this mod primarily for the BSS itself, whereas SAS is an optional server-sided feature that is not what everyone is here for.
• The "Quick-share" feature has been tweaked a bit, so as to improve its server-sided security and reliability. The tweaks generally boil down to further helping the server combat people looking to exploit the system in a malicious way.

Due to the demand for a backport, the latest version of BSS has now been backported to 1.20.X versions.

Note that because v3.12.4 requires TCDCommons API, that means that this backport also requires TCDCommons API to be installed. I apologize in advance if this ends up inconveniencing anyone. Hopefully launchers can handle this and install dependencies automatically.

• Updated TCDCommons API's Simplified Chinese translations thanks to TCDCommons Issue #14.
• Updated Ukranian translations thanks to Issue #134.
• Updated Simplified Chinese translations thanks to Issue #135.

Thanks again, to everyone who contributed!
