Limited Spectator

[1.1.1] - 2025-11-14

🎯 Stable Release

This is the stable release following 1.1.0-beta, with cleaned configuration and comprehensive documentation updates.

Changed

• Configuration Cleanup: Removed non-functional config options that were limited by Minecraft engine behavior:

  • Removed allow_mob_attacks - mob attacks always blocked (mobs don't target players with mayfly=true)
  • Removed allow_block_breaking - always blocked in ADVENTURE mode (GameMode restriction)
  • Removed allow_block_placing - always blocked in ADVENTURE mode (GameMode restriction)
  • Removed auto_hide_hud - behavior hard-coded to always hide (can toggle with F1)
  • Removed allow_f1_hud_toggle - F1 toggle always enabled
  • Removed auto_start_flying - players must double-tap spacebar (ADVENTURE mode limitation)

• Documentation Overhaul: Complete update of all documentation to reflect actual behavior:

  • Clarified that enable_invulnerability does NOT prevent fall damage (Minecraft engine always prevents it with mayfly=true)
  • Updated enable_invulnerability description to specify it protects against mobs, lava, fire, cacti, drowning, etc.
  • Documented HUD behavior as hard-coded (always hides, F1 toggles)
  • Documented that players must double-tap spacebar to fly (ADVENTURE mode behavior)
  • Renamed "Known Issues" sections to "Known Limitations" with proper explanations

Fixed

• Configuration file now generates cleanly without obsolete options
• All wiki documentation updated (Configuration-Guide, For-Server-Admins, Beta-Features, Features, Commands, FAQ)
• Updated README.md, CHANGELOG.md, Version-Comparison.md, CONTRIBUTING.md
• Removed confusing config options that appeared functional but weren't due to Minecraft limitations

Technical

• Cleaned up ModConfig.java - removed unused config variables and cached values
• Updated SpectatorMod.java - hard-coded HUD hide behavior
• Updated ClientEventHandler.java - simplified HUD management (removed config checks)
• Generated config file (limitedspectator-common.toml) now accurate and contains only functional options

Migration Notes

If upgrading from 1.1.0-beta, your existing config will continue to work. The removed options will be ignored. No action required - the mod will use correct behavior regardless of old config values.
