Starfield Pastoral

Update Log (English)

Addon And Data-Pack Platform

• Added a generic, namespaced extension platform for future addons instead of special-casing any existing addon. Stable content IDs, typed references, aliases, deterministic ordering, conflict diagnostics, lifecycle freezing and atomic reload snapshots now form a shared foundation across the major game systems.
• Added compatibility-managed world, farm, player, NPC, animal, building, machine, location, festival-session and long-term progress state. Unknown platform-owned namespaces survive save/load while their addon is absent, and migration or cleanup remains explicit and previewable.
• Added public API maturity classification and binary compatibility baselines. New surfaces remain experimental until their documentation, independent consumers, runtime behavior, multiplayer semantics and migration evidence justify promotion.

Maps, Content And Production

• Added extensible locations, regions, map slots, world anchors, farm layouts, portals and building blueprints so new maps can be referenced by NPC schedules, festivals, fishing, forage, quests, music and travel without adding core coordinate branches.
• Added typed extension paths for crops, trees, managed animals, animal buildings, machines, production plans, fishing, fish ponds, mine monster profiles, combat events and transactional world events.
• Added synchronized Data Map food effects for arbitrary registered Minecraft or addon foods. Existing food items keep their own consumption behavior while Stardew energy, health, buffs and effects are applied by data.
• Replaced duplicated per-flavor juice and wine assets with shared tinted drink models while preserving legacy flavored output identities and quality presentation.

NPCs, Shops, Festivals And Progress

• Added namespaced NPC profiles, displays, entity resolution, lifecycle events, schedules, dialogue, gift tastes, friendship rewards, social rules and shop bindings.
• Added extensible currencies, compound costs, stock policies, products, server-authoritative purchase preparation and idempotent transaction handling.
• Added festival map overlays, participants, mechanics, activities, rewards, persistent sessions and epoch/revision synchronization, together with extensible progress domains, requirements, rewards and production events.

Multiplayer, Client Fallbacks And Diagnostics

• Added optional and required network-capability negotiation, bounded synchronized content snapshots, stale-revision rejection, disconnect cache cleanup and server-authoritative client views.
• Missing translations now fall back to readable stable IDs, and missing portraits or display resources no longer hide gameplay entries. A failed client snapshot refresh keeps the previous complete revision.
• Added extension diagnostics, state inspection and maintenance commands, failure isolation, deterministic random streams, bounded spatial indexes and performance budgets for high-frequency systems.

Examples, Compatibility And Verification

• Expanded the independent Java addon and data-pack examples into vertical samples covering maps, NPCs, shops, festivals, progress, animals, farming, machines, trees, fishing, mining, combat and world events.
• Added public API compatibility checks, per-type maturity review, atomic reload and legacy-state tests, fixed-commit external addon canaries and a stricter runtime smoke verifier.
• Verified a real graphical client joining a copied existing world on a dedicated server, forcibly disconnecting, reconnecting, re-negotiating capabilities, reloading player data and completing an orderly five-dimension save.
• Updated the public mod version to 0.5.3.
