Hotwire

Hotwire 0.1.0 Alpha 171

• Adding a mod you already have in another instance no longer downloads it: Hotwire copies it from your other instances (Modrinth App, Prism, CurseForge, ATLauncher)
• Switching is much faster, even without the cache: a resource reload that ran on every switch for nothing is gone. Cloth Config turns off 1.8x faster and back on 2.8x faster, Controlify turns on 1.9x faster
• New: the Centralized Switch Cache. Press the Switch Cache button and Hotwire works out every switch your mods can make ahead of time, so turning mods off and on is much faster after
• It's one cache for every instance of a Minecraft version on your PC, whatever launcher you use, and it stays saved between restarts
• It runs at full speed in menus and almost idles while you play. Pause, resume or clear it any time. It never turns anything off
• It shows how much space it will take, then the progress and the time left!
• Choose how much space it may use in Advanced, under Cache size limit. If your mods need more, it offers to make room
• Manage cache shows every Minecraft version's cache on your PC with its size, and clears one or all of them!
• Turning Balm off or on no longer reloads all your resources, about 19 seconds saved each time
• Security: chat commands are gone except /hotwire, which opens the screen. A server could make your game run them and load a mod it chose, thanks bloxigus
• When a switch or an add fails, Hotwire writes a bug report and shows a popup saying what went wrong, with a button that shows you the file
• When the game crashes, Hotwire always tells you where its bug report is: in the game if the game keeps running, in a window if it closes. A crash in the middle of a switch no longer freezes the game for good
• Mods you add while playing now show up in Mod Menu and in OneConfig's mod list, config buttons included
• More "Add Live" cases handled: LambdaBetterGrass (and other mods built on Yumi) work perfectly, its page shows in Sodium's video settings, and Respackopts' pack options and settings work right away
• Turning off Biomes O' Plenty is much cleaner: worlds open while it's off, and its surface rules, End biomes, features and models leave with it and come back with it
• The store and the chooser fit at every GUI scale: category bars scroll when they don't fit, titles shrink to fit, and the chooser fades out smoothly
• Better Async Particles handling (Falling Leaves issue mwaa @vahvl )
• Adding a store mod that needs another one no longer gets stuck (Respackopts on LibJF) - When a mod keeps running another mod's code after that one is turned off, Hotwire tells you which mod it is and takes it along next time
• Hotwire holds less memory
• Turning off Cloth Config no longer crashes the game when REI is installed
• Turning off Distant Horizons no longer freezes the game for minutes
• Simple Voice Chat can be turned back on when another mod carries an older Fabric API inside it
• Turning off Balm no longer leaves JEI running Balm's plugin
• Turning Xaero's Minimap back on in a world is no longer refused
• Ambient Sounds stops playing when it's turned off
• FancyMenu, owo-lib, Presence Footsteps and Puzzles Lib can be added while you play, no restart
• Fixed a crash when CustomSkinLoader was installed and a mod was switched
• Fixed a crash on the next frame after switching FancyMenu
• Fixed BadOptimizations being refused when turned back on
• Fixed data packs failing to load after leaving a world with Distant Horizons installed
• Fixed c2me's world generation throwing errors after turning it back on
• Turning a mod off right after a world opens no longer waits up to 8 seconds for Hotwire's background check
• Bug report files have clear names: the date and time, then what happened ("game crash", "bug report", "Balm crashed"), so the newest is easy to find
• Popups are tidier, with more room under their titles
