Changelog

All notable changes to Iron's Spell Scroll Ponder are documented in this file.

1.0.3 - 2026-08-06

Changed

• Relaxed the Minecraft, Forge, loader, Iron's Spellbooks, and Ponder dependency ranges to accept any available version.

1.0.2 - 2026-08-03

This release targets Minecraft 1.20.1 and Forge 47.

Changed

• Documented the Forge FakePlayer networking lifecycle and its upstream code references in TECHNICAL_NOTES.md.

Fixed

• Initialized Forge's shared FakePlayer connection with a persistent local Netty channel so optional network checks from add-on mods no longer crash the preview server tick with a null channel.
• Kept virtual packet handling local; unsupported remote channels are reported as absent and FakePlayer packets continue to be discarded.
• Fixed the Thunderstorm preview exhausting the render buffer by translating absolute endpoints embedded in Iron's lightning particle options.
• Added a client-side distance and finite-value guard for destination-bearing particles so malformed add-on effects cannot allocate unbounded geometry.

1.0.1 - 2026-07-31

This release targets Minecraft 1.20.1 and Forge 47.

Added

• Added play/pause controls for the preview loop in every supported language.
• Added adapter support for spell-specific primary target entity types and origin-relative initial scene blocks.
• Added prepared targets for wololo, sacrifice, spectral_hammer, and touch_dig.

Changed

• Expanded the arena to a symmetrical 7 x 11 platform, with two extra rows behind both the caster and the targets.
• Preserved the original 7 x 7 camera basis so the larger platform does not alter the default framing height.
• Replaced the Replay button with a playback toggle. Previews loop by default; pausing prevents the next replay without freezing entities, particles, or simulation time.
• Updated the add-on compatibility and special-spell documentation for the new adapter hooks.

Fixed

• Fixed wololo failing because the preview supplied a zombie instead of a sheep.
• Fixed sacrifice failing because its target was not an owned magic summon.
• Fixed spectral_hammer and touch_dig failing because no valid block was present on the caster's horizontal ray.
• Ensured prepared scene blocks are projected on first load and every replay, then removed when the preview session closes.
