[1.0.1] - 2026-01-05

Fixed

• Critical: Death records now use local profile ID instead of server UUID, ensuring deaths are specific to each local Minecraft account/character and don't bleed across different profiles
• Hotkey toggle now properly closes Death Hound screen when already open

Breaking

• Existing death records will not automatically migrate to the new storage format. Previous deaths will remain on disk but won't be visible in-game after updating.

[1.0.0] - 2026-01-05

Added

• Initial release for Minecraft 1.21.6-1.21.8
• Death location tracking with on-screen HUD arrows
• World markers at death locations
• Death history UI with Track/Untrack/Copy/Delete functionality
• Per-world and per-player death record storage
• Configurable marker colors and display options
• Client-side only - safe for any server

Technical

• Multi-loader support: Fabric, NeoForge, Forge
• Server-safe initialization (graceful no-op on dedicated servers)

[1.0.0] - 2026-01-05

Added

• Server-safe initialization for all loaders to prevent crashes when mistakenly installed on dedicated servers
• Reflection-based client environment detection for cross-loader compatibility

Fixed

• Critical: Dedicated server crash when mod is included server-side in modpacks (now gracefully no-ops)
• HUD arrow rendering reliability issues (replaced pose-stack transforms with manual rotation)
• World marker rendering performance (implemented batching, reduced GL state changes, added simple LOD)
• Hotkey toggle now properly closes Death Hound screen when already open

Changed

• Relaxed NeoForge minimum version requirement from 21.9.16-beta to 21.9.0-beta
• Refactored Forge and NeoForge entrypoints to be server-safe
• Added explicit clientSideOnly=true metadata to NeoForge mod descriptor
• Improved marker rendering with distance-based culling (markers hidden beyond 300 blocks, wireframe simplified beyond 100 blocks)

Technical

• Split client-only initialization into separate loader-specific client classes
• Removed all net.minecraft.client.* references from main loader entrypoints
• Optimized world marker rendering loop to batch depth-test state changes
• Cached game time calculations to reduce redundant System.currentTimeMillis() calls
