EasyView

• New "Tier Color" toggle for pages — colors the overlay text by the page's tier (e.g. green for Uncommon) instead of using a static color

Super Breaker Aura

• Timer now displays above the crosshair by default instead of overlapping it
• Added X/Y offset options and an enable/disable toggle for the timer

Satchel HUD

• Renamed satchels are now detected by item type, so the HUD works even after renaming

• Per-tier toggles to show or hide individual merchant tiers (Coal, Iron, Lapis, Redstone, Gold, Diamond, Emerald).
• Distinct heading colors per merchant tier. Waypoints (new)
• Screen-edge direction indicators for every active meteor and merchant: a colored diamond when on screen, or an arrow clamped to the edge when off-screen.
• Optional 3D beacon beam pillars rendered in world space at each event location.
• Custom waypoints: add your own named, colored, coordinate-based waypoints with individual beam opacity and icon scaling.
• Per-type toggles (meteors / merchants) and a global beacon beam on/off toggle.

• Per-waypoint icon scaling: separate on-screen and off-screen scale multipliers, with config defaults for newly created waypoints.

Version 1.3.0:

VERSION CHANGE FROM 1.21.8->1.21.11, a 1.21.8 version is posted on the modrinth as version 1.2.1, but may be missing a small number of these features

Cloth Config NO LONGER REQUIRED

NEW CONFIG UI

The configuration screen has been rebuilt from the ground up as a fully custom UI, replacing the previous Cloth Config-based screen. Cloth Config is no longer required as a dependency. New layout:

• The screen is organized into 12 tabs in a left sidebar, grouped into three sections: HUD Settings, Feature Settings, and Configuration.
• Each tab's content scrolls independently. Settings are grouped into collapsible sections so you can collapse categories you're not using to reduce
  clutter.
• Every widget has a dedicated reset button (X icon) to restore that individual setting to its default without affecting anything else.
• Most settings show a tooltip on hover with a brief description.

Color picker:

• Color fields now open a dedicated color picker popup with a full HSV (hue/saturation/value) selector square, a separate hue bar, a live preview strip,
  and a hex input field.
• Previously color entry was done entirely through numeric hex input fields.

HUD editor:

• The drag-and-drop HUD editor (opened via the button at the bottom of the config screen) now supports right-clicking a HUD to bring up an inline scale
  slider (70–150%) with a live preview — previously scale was only adjustable through the config screen itself.
• HUDs are color-coded while editing: green = hovered, yellow = dragging, orange = selected for scaling.
• A Reset Positions button restores all HUDs to their default locations and scales in one click.

Theme customization:

• A new Configuration tab exposes 27 theme color settings (backgrounds, borders, text, accents, scrollbars, sidebar, tooltips, etc.).
• Theme changes update the config screen in real time as you edit.

Other improvements:

• The screen now has proper keyboard navigation — text inputs support cursor movement, selection, and scrolling within the field.
• Dropdowns and the color picker popup correctly block interaction with elements behind them (no accidental clicks through open overlays).
• The sidebar tab list scrolls when screen height is too small to show all 12 tabs.

Other New Features:

• Stats HUD now shows estimated time until level when mining
• added /tpa and /tpahere to cooldown hud
• updated easyview to include dust and pages
• updated easyview text scaling to be larger in some cases
• updated easyview default colors for armor/weps/picks (hit the reset button to reset to new default)
• meteor HUD now has headings for each meteor that show if it is natural or player spawned
• Time until next level added to stats hud (uses xp/min calculation)
• Stats hud now has a visual indication when paused

Bug Fixes:

• check pick for super breaker (scorch will no longer proc super breaker aura)
• Stats HUD silly timer fix (resetting timer while paused showed a silly value)
• stats hud pause fix (pausing actually works correctly) -# changelog includes changes from 1.1-1.2 in addition to 1.2-1.2.1 -# likely other changes that I forgot to put in here
