Translation:

• Updated Traditional Chinese translation.

Developer:

• The Transform packet now uses entity UUIDs. It also no longer includes data for particles and instead includes data for gender.
• Added new tests to make sure the spec requirements for ability, ball, cancrowned, generation, growth, nature, nickname, pokerus, and status all work.
• Split a variable that handled cancelling the evolution and closing the Evolve Screen into two separate variables so that they can be done independently.
• To align with moving to use the Pokemon class this deprecates:
  • Evolution#doEvolution(PixelmonEntity, String) in favor of Evolution#doEvolution(Pokemon, String)
  • Evolution#finishedEvolving(PixelmonEntity) in favor of Evolution#finishedEvolving(Pokemon)
  • EvolutionQuery(PixelmonEntity, Evolution, String) in favor of EvolutionQuery(Pokemon, Evolution, String)
  • EvolutionQuery(PixelmonEntity, Stats) in favor of EvolutionQuery(Pokemon, Stats)
  • EvoCondition#passes(PixelmonEntity) in favor of EvoCondition#passes#(Pokemon)
• Delay the spec validation until after the datapack files are loaded via Pixelmon.
  • This means the spec error will likely appear when you attempt to evolve the custom Pokemon, or run commands such as the wiki command.
  • This is likely the only way to do this as we cannot guarantee load order and with the new spec validation system the Pokemon has to exist for the species requirement, therefore we must delay the "get" call.
• Added the ability to set and get the random seed used by battles.
  • Added BattleRandomSource, an implementation of RandomSource which is supplied with another RandomSource implementation to use for battles.
  • Allows setting of seed used in a given battle, and retrieval of the seed used by a battle, including if randomly determined.
  • Added and changed a number of the random methods to be named better.
• BREAKING CHANGE: Battles no longer use RandomHelper, except in cases where the BattleController isn't available yet, or cases of client-side only use.
• BREAKING CHANGE: TickHandlerBase#onTick now returns a boolean value for whether the tick handler should be removed or not, changing from returning void.
• Added improved BattleEndCause API.
  • This allows for more specific/precise reasoning for when a battle is ended. Therefore, letting sidemod developers have a deeper level of control over what to do for different scenarios.
  • Added registry PixelmonRegistry#battleEndCause.

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = Pixelmon.MODID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD)
public class NewBattleCauses {
@SubscribeEvent
public static void onRegister(RegisterEvent event) {
    event.register(PixelmonRegistry.BATTLE_END_CAUSE_REGISTRY, helper -> {
        helper.register(BattleEndCause.FORFEIT.id(), BattleEndCause.FORFEIT);
    });
