Minecraft Access

New Features

• Speak current perspective when switched to #314
• Blocks and entities can now be narrated with Jade, providing much more detailed information.
• Add basic aim assist for bows (temporarily lock onto the nearest hostile mob when drawing a bow, play sounds indicating how much the bow has been drawn and if the target can be shot)
• Implement support for running the mod on MacOS
• Each function in the access menu can now be bound as a key on your keyboard (all unbound by default aside from narrate target)
• HealthNHunger is now player status
• Made the readout of player status more concise which also delivers values faster
• This includes new information like air, frost exposure, armor, and absorption hearts
• Added a warning for when frost exposure gets above a configurable value (default 30%)
• Hold Alt+R to hear only conditional information like air and frost exposure
• Renamed enableHealthNHunger in the config to enablePlayerStatus (THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE)

Feature Updates

• Vault and Trial Spawner are added as POI blocks #306
• Remove Position Narrator Format config since it seems duplicate with single number narrating formats
• The narration menu function key key is now deprecated, and has been replaced by the narrate target key as each thing can be bound independently
• The narrator menu was renamed to the access menu to avoid confusion with the existing narrator feature in Microsoft products
• BREAKING CHANGES: Rename Narrator Menu aka F4 Menu to Access Menu
• Access Menu: Access Menu functions can be triggered with Alt + upper number keys
• Your pets, other's pets, bosses, players, and vehicles now have their own sounds
• Dropped item detection also now extends to projectiles on the ground which can be picked up like arrows and tridents
• Air is now measured roughly in seconds remaining, as it is not clear how fast air ticks down for blind players usually
• The default air threshold is now 5 seconds of air remaining, which is roughly the same overall percentage (30%) air remaining
• The mod now announces the biome you entered when you join a world instead of the xp level.

Bug Fixes

• Let Enable Facing Direction config controls auto direction speaking in Camera Controls #327
• Make the Look Straight Back key combination (left alt + numpad 5) works again #328
• You can now hold down keys without them speaking their output over and over
• Fixed smithing table slots being mislabeled
• Some neutral mobs are now recognized as hostile when angry like wolves, instead of always being passive
• Fix equipment narration triggering even if entity doesn't have equipment
• When the locked on block is destroyed, it will automatically be unlocked

Others

• Added an error message when trying to run the mod server-side

Translation Changes

• Weblate is now used for translations.
• Removed coppied strings that were already in use in vanilla, mainly the seperate color strings that Minecraft access had which vanilla translation already provides.
