Changed

• Village generated chest confrontations now use forced dialogue by default when container opening is watched.
• Built-in village chest opening forced dialogue now varies by reputation: neutral and suspicious players get the standard warning, hostile/despised/feared players get harsher warnings, and trusted or better players are only interrupted if they take items.
• Built-in dialogue now leans harder into the mod's core identity: villagers remember personal harm, share gossip, reward defense cautiously, and respond differently to the same player based on current reputation.
• Built-in dialogue, notification, gift, pacification, story, and villager-name data moved out of hardcoded paths and into datapack-loadable JSON resources.
• Villager names are now loaded additively from datapacks instead of requiring one monolithic preset-name file.
• Profession-filtered dialogue, keyed messages, openings, and closings now default more carefully around baby villagers, with explicit show_for_babies support where needed.
• Dialogue options now use type: "dialogue_option" with a separate request value, and dialogue lines now use request.
• General player-selected conversation now uses question; small_talk is no longer a separate request.
• Built-in dialogue variants now use lines arrays instead of repeated near-identical entries, and recent-dialogue tracking now remembers individual line-array variants.
• Built-in dialogue entries now provide at least three text variants where they output villager speech, reducing repeated one-line responses in common conversations.
• Built-in profession dialogue is now split into profession files, with shared multi-profession reactions kept in grouped dialogue files.
• Mason dialogue had repeated line variants replaced with distinct profession-flavored variants.
• Forced-dialogue chat now uses normal triggers with output.mode: "chat" instead of separate _chat trigger names.
• Forced-dialogue reputation changes now spread through the gossip hook when a villager witnesses the event.
• Forced dialogue speaker labels now preserve custom villager names in villager chat instead of falling back to profession-only labels.
• Reputation change notifications can now be collapsed to reduce repeated HUD spam.
• The interaction GUI and reputation text now use localization keys.
• Client/server interaction networking was refactored around dedicated payloads for dialogue, gifts, inventory, recruitment, reputation notices, name sync, world text, and conversation endings.
• Villager model, renderer, reputation overlay, world-text, and interaction HUD behavior were adjusted for the expanded interaction systems.
• Villager combat, follow, pathing, hostile-target lookup, cleric support, ground-weapon pursuit, bell search, weapon usability, gossip processing, story lookup, and reputation scans were refactored and optimized to reduce redundant work and stale data.
• Slimes are no longer treated as villager retaliation targets.
• Datapack diagnostics now report dialogue, forced-dialogue, and notification parsing problems more consistently, including stricter builder/import folder validation and clearer validation results.
• Datapack-builder rendering, validation, and imports were tuned with paginated entry lists, render caching, flexible checks/file-tree panels, optimized line-number rendering, notification routing, duplicate detection fixes, invalid validation fixtures, safer unsaved-draft/export handling, strict known-root imports, normalized backslash paths, and more reliable zip entry handling.
• Wiki pages and the built-in builder wiki snapshot now document forced dialogue, profession loot, profession-group dialogue files, player item proximity callouts, theft memories, reputation-gated dialogue, line variation fields, response variation fields, localization, event tags, notification triggers, pack format changes, resource-pack model overrides, and the updated datapack builder workflow.
• Updated README/docs links for the Villager Retaliation Generator and added the GitHub Pages deploy workflow for publishing the builder.
• Promoted the release version from 1.0.0-beta.11-dev4 to 1.0.0-beta.11.

Deprecated

• Full-file gift and villager-name overrides still work, but small packs should prefer id-based gift changes and additive name files.
• Legacy pacification placeholders {emerald_cost} and {emeralds} still work, but new packs should prefer {payment_cost}, {payment_item}, and {payment_items}.

Removed

• Removed small_talk as a separate dialogue request. Use question for general player-selected conversation.
• Removed request values from dialogue option type; dialogue options now use type: "dialogue_option" plus request, and dialogue lines use request.
• Removed _chat forced-dialogue triggers. Use the normal trigger with output.mode: "chat".
