[2.4.2] - 12024-08-15

• Fixed pick block bug where you would always get a vanilla chain.

[2.4.1] - 12024-06-14

• The mod now uses connectiblechains:catenary_items tag for allowed items to be used that are not chains.
• Leads are now also available to use as catenary.
• Fixed bug where custom textures were working on initial launch.
• Items now grab the sound of their block variant, if there isn't one, it defaults to chains.
• The chain drip function is altered sightly to decrease drip for longer chains.

  • If you noticed any mistake due to regional differences in the Spanish language, make an issue or pull request.

[2.4.0] - 12024-06-06

• Reworking Networking again since it changed again.
• Increased visibility range, equal to other entities, like chests.
• Default max range increased from 7 to 16.
• Reworked Tag system to use the fabric-convention-tags-v2.
• Reworked how the mod grabs textures for the knot and chain texture.
  • For every item in the chains convention tag, we check if JSON files is located at <mod-id>/models/entity/connectiblechains/<item_id>.json, see the chain.json file on GitHub for an example.
  • If this file is missing, the default locations (what currently happens) are used.
  • Note: Animated textures do not work.

[2.3.0] - 12024-03-30

• Reworked Networking to conform with new standard.
• Removed all mixins, as they were no longer needed (I hope).
• Added c:bars tags and allowed chains to be connected to iron bars.
• Minecraft version 1.20.4

[2.2.1] - 12023-06-29

• Fixed texture bug when having one chain in hand.

[2.2.0] - 12023-04-16

• Fix Tooltip Config not Working
• Added new text for the tooltip.
• Reworked the compatibility to be tag-based.
  • Using data/c/tags/items/chains.json we check if an item can be used to make a catenary.
    The code then assumes an item and blocktexture for the knot and catenary.
    This implies that you can make anything a compatible chain, as long as you have textures available. For modded players, you need to add a data pack where you add tags for the chain items you want added.
