LiveBuddy v0.3.0 - Version Lanes

v0.3.0 expands LiveBuddy's Minecraft 1.21 support.

This release keeps 1.21.4 as the maintenance lane and adds 1.21.9, 1.21.10, and 1.21.11 as the new main lane.

Main Changes

Added supported versions

• Minecraft 1.21.4
• Minecraft 1.21.9
• Minecraft 1.21.10
• Minecraft 1.21.11

1.21.4 is treated as the maintenance lane.
1.21.9, 1.21.10, and 1.21.11 are treated as the main lane.

Version-specific structure

The internal structure has been rebuilt so LiveBuddy can be released separately for each supported Minecraft version.

Task changes

• The standalone mining task has been removed from the v0.3.0 UI for now.
• In v0.3.0, mining and terrain leveling are temporarily combined into one Level / Dig task.
• The old mining behavior could dig straight down from the surface and leave Buddy stranded in a vertical shaft. Mining will be redesigned as a safer digging workflow in v0.4.0.
• The upward scan height for Level / Dig is now limited to 4 blocks above the start position. This is a temporary adjustment for stable surface / foot-level terrain work, not for clearing high walls or ceilings.

Bed behavior

• Reduced cases where multiple Buddies choose the same bed.
• Added bed reservation behavior so multiple Buddies are less likely to converge on one bed.

Other fixes

• Fixed some chat messages appearing in Japanese under English language settings.
• Shortened the English Equipment tab label to Equip.

Notes When Updating From 0.2.0

Existing Buddy owner data

Since v0.2.0, Buddies store an owner UUID.

Depending on when a Buddy was created or migrated, an existing Buddy may not have owner data matching the current player. If that happens, the Buddy may not respond to commands or GUI operations.

If you have OP/admin permissions, you can reassign the owner with:

/lb owner <BuddyName> <UserName>

Example:

/lb owner Charlie polarstern

If successful, the specified Buddy will be assigned to that user.

Workaround for cheat-disabled singleplayer worlds

In a singleplayer world with cheats disabled, /lb owner normally cannot be used.

You can temporarily get OP-like permission for the current session:

1. Open the world.
2. Press Esc and choose Open to LAN.
3. Set Allow Cheats to On.
4. Start the LAN world.
5. Run /lb owner <BuddyName> <UserName>.
6. Save and exit.

This only enables cheats for that session.
If the existing Buddy has no name, or the migration does not work cleanly, deleting and respawning the Buddy may be the safest option.

Known Notes

Door-equipped houses

Buddy can route toward targets such as farms in open layouts without doors.

However, in houses with doors, Buddy may stop at the door or at the nearest wall in the direction of the target.

At the moment, Buddy cannot reliably open, close, and pass through doors.
This will be considered for improvement in v0.4.0.
