Area Scale 2.0.1

Capture structures without commands — Hardcore worlds included.

Added

• Capture Screen. Press C (rebindable under Options > Controls > Area Scale) to open an in-game panel: type an amount, then click Shrink or Expand. It performs exactly the same capture the command does — same scale, same capsule, same outcome.
• Hardcore support. Hardcore worlds disable commands outright, which made /areascale shrink|expand unusable there. The Capture Screen bypasses that, so capturing now works in Hardcore singleplayer.
• New keybind key.areascale.capture (default C), new serverbound CaptureRequestPayload, and shared CaptureService that both the command and the screen call.

Changed

• /areascale shrink <factor> and /areascale expand <factor> now delegate to CaptureService. Behaviour, validation messages and success output are unchanged — the command is now just a thin permission-checked wrapper around the same code path the GUI uses, so the two can't drift apart.
• README Requirements section corrected to match what the build actually targets (Fabric Loader 0.19.3+, Fabric API 0.152.1+26.2, Minecraft 26.2 / Java 25+), and the new Capture Screen is documented under "How it works".

Fixed

• Capturing is possible again in Hardcore worlds, where commands are disabled.

Permissions

Commands were — and still are — gated behind COMMANDS_GAMEMASTER. The Capture Screen applies the same rule rather than becoming a way around it: in singleplayer (Hardcore included) any request is allowed, since the world belongs to the host; on a dedicated server the player needs the same gamemaster permission the command requires. Unpermitted requests get a chat message instead of a capture.

Compatibility

• Minecraft 26.2, Fabric Loader 0.19.3+, Java 25+, Fabric API 0.152.1+26.2.
• No config or save-data changes. maxCaptureBlocks behaves as before, and capsules created in earlier versions keep working — this release adds a route into the capture code, it doesn't change the format.
