Changelog

All notable changes to PlayerBatch are documented here in a simple human-readable format.

This changelog is intentionally focused on how the mod evolved, especially from the early "just summon a lot of bots" phase into the more feature-rich versions.

PlayerBatch-2.0.1-mc1.21.11

Current modern release line.

• Cleaned up the public command system around the newer /pb command layout
• Added clearer grouping for spawning, selection, kits, presets, testing, and utility actions
• Added /pb cancel to stop queued summon work
• Added the dense formation for tightly packed bot crowds
• Added support for -blocks{...} so bots can be given starting blocks explicitly instead of receiving hidden free blocks
• Added better test coverage commands, including broader all-in-one testing flows
• Refreshed README / Modrinth page copy and synced docs with the newer command structure

PlayerBatch-2.0.0

The point where PlayerBatch stopped being just a bulk spawner and started becoming a real bot-control mod.

• Added much broader bot testing tools
• Added movement and pathing test commands
• Added healing tests and safer test routing behavior
• Added combat pathing groundwork
• Added terrain interaction logic for harder situations
• Added staged combat block-breaking support
• Improved debug traces and pickup/pathing behavior
• Started pushing the mod toward real PvP and AI-driven control instead of only mass spawning

PlayerBatch-1.3.x

The extension and structure phase.

• Added the PlayerBatch extension runtime API
• Wired executable extension hooks into the mod
• Renamed and cleaned up package / namespace structure
• Improved internal organization so future add-ons and integrations were easier to build

PlayerBatch-1.2.x

The quality-of-life and control phase.

• Added the look command so bots could orient toward targets
• Added more formation support, including filled_circle
• Fixed fixtags behavior so it properly scanned the server player list
• Improved documentation and general project structure

PlayerBatch-1.1.x

The "more than just one command" phase.

• Expanded command behavior beyond the earliest summon-only flow
• Started introducing formations and more intentional control features
• Improved usability for repeated testing setups

PlayerBatch-1.0.x

The very basic beginning.

At this stage, PlayerBatch was mostly about one thing:

• summon a lot of fake players quickly

This was the phase where the mod was intentionally simple and lightweight:

• bulk bot spawning was the core feature
• fake players were created through Carpet
• there were very few extra control systems
• no polished AI layer
• no modern command structure
• no kits / presets / advanced testing flow yet

This is the version era for: "I just want to spawn a ton of bots fast."

Notes

• Versions above are grouped by feature era, not by every single internal micro-change.
• If needed later, this file can be expanded into a stricter per-version release log.

PlayerBatch 🤖
