Bits and Balance v1.7.2

Minor Changes

• Balance Config Defaults

  • Nerfed Mending is now enabled by default

• Balanced Elytra

  • Changed durability loss to be distance-based instead of speed-based
  • Elytra now loses 1 durability per N blocks flown (configurable via balancedElytraBlocksPerDurability, default: 10 blocks)

• Full Ender Dragon XP

  • Added toggle to grant full first-kill XP (12000) for respawned Ender Dragons
  • Enabled by default (vanilla respawned dragons drop 500 XP)

• Uncap Menu FPS

  • Added client toggle to uncap framerate while in menus/paused
  • Enabled by default

• Item Share

  • Added configurable cooldown between item shares (itemShareCooldownSeconds, default: 0.5s)
  • Enforced on both client and server to prevent spam

• Quick Harvesting

  • Removed the extra XP reward from using Fortune tools (hoe/axe) while quick-harvesting crops

• Nether Veins (Worldgen)

  • Nether gold/quartz veins now generate from Y 8 to 100
  • Vein rarity is now controlled reliably via a per-chunk chance (instead of placement rarity filters)

• Nether Quartz Veins (Worldgen)

  • Nether quartz veins no longer place quartz blocks (only nether quartz ore + filler)

• Coal Veins (Worldgen)

  • Coal veins now use a Mojang-style multi-chunk vein approach with two variants (deep tuff + shallow andesite)
  • Andesite coal veins now generate from Y 24 to 90

Removed Features

• Tamed Teleport
  • Removed entirely (feature, configs, and mixins)

Bug Fixes (Both Loaders)

• Speedy Happy Ghasts

  • Swiftness/Slowness now apply a visible Flying Speed attribute modifier (so speed-related potion items show it in tooltips)
  • Adjusted the scaling to a 1:1 ratio with vanilla Speed (no longer doubled)

• Coyote Time

  • Standardized the coyote-time jump window across loaders: it now becomes available 50ms after you start falling and remains available until 1000ms after falling starts
  • Coyote time no longer triggers from holding the jump key; it requires a fresh jump press after leaving the ground
  • Enforced bounds so the jump is never available before 50ms or after 1000ms, even if configs are edited
  • Updated config defaults to match the timing (delayMs=50, windowMs=1000)

• Unleashed Teleport

  • Added fallback hook to catch short-range/player-only teleports (e.g., chorus fruit, ender pearls) that don't trigger dimension-change events

• Full Ender Dragon XP

  • Fixed NeoForge: respawned-dragon XP top-up now drops at the dragon's death location and triggers after the death animation completes

• Dyed Pale Oak Crafting (Multi-Dye Mixing)

  • Fixed Pale Oak dye recipes that specify a primary dye (e.g. red_dye) incorrectly rejecting additional dyes
  • Crafting now allows adding extra dyes for mixing in one craft, while still requiring at least one of the recipe's primary dye

• Door Knocking

  • Door knocking now infers the knock sound from the door block's SoundType hit sound for better mod compatibility (e.g. non-vanilla doors)
  • Retains special-casing for wooden door tags and iron/copper doors

• Dismount Entities

  • Updated dismount feedback sound to use a saddle unequip/remove sound (with vanilla saddle fallback)

• Sitting

  • Sitting now uses a real (mount-based) seated pose so legs render correctly for self and other players

• HUD & UI Polish

  • Recovery Compass HUD spacing now matches Navigator Compass layout
  • Player mention highlight now defaults to recipient-only

• Biome Name Display

  • Prettified biome name formatting for cave/... style paths

• Biome Item Tinting

  • Sugar Cane is no longer biome-tinted by default
  • Added a configurable disabledItems list so you can exclude specific items from biome tinting

• Teleport Safeguards

  • Added a guard to prevent teleport-to-unloaded-chunks from reporting "Plains" due to invalid biome reads

• Soul Fire Rendering

  • Fixed third-person soul fire rendering check

• Crawling

  • Fixed crawling stance flicker/jitter

Fabric Bug Fixes

• Villagers Follow Emeralds

  • Fixed villagers not following emeralds due to goal injection/access issues

• Keybind Modifiers

  • Fixed Controls UI rebinding so Shift + <key> no longer binds as Shift alone
  • Fixed modifier combos not visually updating in the Controls screen until the menu was reopened (including when the Controlling mod is installed)
  • Fixed compatibility with the Controlling mod so modifier combos can be changed in Controlling's keybind screen
  • Fixed Ctrl + <key> binds (e.g. Left Ctrl + Right Arrow) incorrectly triggering from the base key alone
  • Fixed modifier combos not being enforced for toggle-style keybinds (e.g. Sit)
  • Added modifier combos (Shift / Ctrl / Alt) for all keybinds
  • Modifier combos now display correctly and only trigger when the required modifiers are held
  • Resolved base-key conflicts so pressing the base key alone (e.g. L) won't trigger a combo bind (e.g. Shift + L)
  • Modifier combos are remembered per keybind

• Fabric Config Polish

  • Fabric config JSON now uses description (instead of reserved _comment) and has clearer descriptions
