Critters and Companions (Unofficial Fabric Port)

🚀 Minecraft 26.2.x Port

• 🧭 Ported the Fabric port to Minecraft 26.2.x while preserving the existing 26.1.x gameplay behavior.
• ☕ Updated the build/runtime stack for Java 25, Fabric Loader 0.19.3, Fabric API 0.154.0+26.2, GeckoLib 5.5.3, and Forge Config API Port 26.2.1.
• 🧩 Updated Minecraft API usages affected by 26.2, including bucketable entities, item predicates, dye item lookup, vanilla entity type access, dragonfly armor slots, and grappling hook rendering.
• 📦 Release publishing is configured for the Fabric 26.2.x line using the [26.2,26.3) Minecraft version range.

🐞 Content Parity

• 🐌 Includes the new bugs update content from the 26.1.x line: ladybugs, roly-polies, snails, stag beetles, stick bugs, weevils, mud balls, acorns, the acorn hat, snail slime, and roly-poly chest support.
• ⚙️ Includes the dedicated configurable spawn file crittersandcompanions-spawns.toml with biome/tag, weight, min, and max entries.
• 🌐 Includes Spanish translations for the new entities, items, spawn eggs, potion names, and subtitles.
• 🎨 Keeps the GeckoLib 5 render fixes for flat texture planes, including koi fish, baby roly-poly, ladybug, and Shima Enaga model details.

🛠️ Fixes

• 🔇 Fixed snail and roly-poly zombie jockey spawning to match vanilla chicken jockey behavior, preventing spawn-time ENTITY_MOUNT game events while keeping baby zombie riding behavior intact.
• 🧪 Rechecked access wideners, mixins, recipes, equipment rendering, entity rendering, and bundled dependencies against Minecraft 26.2.
