What's new:

Breaking changes for content, analytics and notable for others.

Analytics

• Unique IDs are now generated for each mod separately and are no longer stored in the config.
  • You need a ModContainer to generate an instance.
• Removed Decider from Crashlytics.

Base

• Introducing the new and improved ExtendablePlugin!
  • This is a successor to ExtendedPlugin, but with more features!
  • One of the main feature is plugin support (Plugin-Plugins)
  • Default plugins include: MixinPredicatePlugin, ShouldApplyPlugin, PublicizePlugin.
  • Only MixinPredicatePlugin is enabled by default.
  • Plugins can be added using the inner DefaultPlugins class.
• Added @MixinPredicate. Part of MixinPredicatePlugin
  • This annotation replaces @MixinShouldApply.
  • This also comes with a better version of @Mod, where you can specify a version predicate.
• Added @Publicize. Part of PublicizePlugin
  • Patches annotated fields and methods from private to public.
  • This is meant for static members that need to be accessed from the outside.
• Added @ConstructDummy. Part of ConstructDummyPlugin
  • If not present, attempts to construct a dummy override of a method.
  • This is only meant for HEAD and TAIL @Injects.
  • "Use at your own risk".
• Added AsmUtil.
  • This includes mapAnnotationNode() and mapObjectFromAnnotation() from ExtendedPlugin.
• Added of() methods to Tuple and MutableTuple.
• Fixed @MixinShouldApply skipping every second mod.
• Updated MixinExtras.

Content

• Split api/impl in content builder.
• Added ItemGroup as a parameter of AnimatedItemGroup.

Enums

• A debug message is now logged after extending enums.

Glitter

• The passed MatrixStack should be new in less cases. (<1.20)

Minecraft

• ValueTracker gets a facelift!
  • Instead of using fields/classes as IDs, we use actual string IDs.
  • Now you can track anything with a supplier!
  • Reflection is still supported, but wrapped in a supplier.
  • You can now add timed trackers that disappear when the timer is up.
  • So it should actually be useful now.

Recipe Book

• Methods in RecipeBookHelper have been renamed to make more sense and better represent what they do.
  • Old methods still exist, but are deprecated.
  • The singular group parameter has been replaced with varargs.
  • addToSearchGroup(), registerGroups() and registerAndAddToSearch() should have overload parity.
• Added registerAndAddToSearch() to RecipeBookHelper. Saves one line!
• Duplicate groups should now be handled better.
