Version 2.0.6

New Features

• Datapack Console Patterns and Shell Patterns can now define the sounds used by the Tardis.

  • Console Patterns can define Left Click and Right Click sounds for Generic interactions, as well as Throttle and Handbrake specific sounds

  • Shell Patterns can define Door Unlock/Lock, Door Open/Close sounds.

Note: These additions are optional fields, meaning all existing Pattern datapacks will not need to be updated.

Gameplay Fixes

• Fixes occasional legacyrandom crash within Gra- I mean Mavity Well

• Fixes left clicking controls during flight dance activating the control's function unexpectedly. E.g. Left clicking X Coordinate control actually changing the X coordinate when re-aligning a control

• Fixed blocks causing player's hand to swing twice in every interaction. Caused by the wrong InteractionResult being used on the serverside.

• Fixes Dimensions not being registered to the server, causing the world to not exist upon reloading the save. This also increases performance for world loading as it means the server doesn't need to create a new world everytime a player enters a Tardis after server restart (for multiplayer) or logging out then reopening a save file (singleplayer).

• Comprehensive fix for Root Shell not updating its OPEN state during terraforming (#299). This has been achieved by cleaning up and unifying door update logic as well as patching the desktop regeneration logic.

• Attempting to land a Tardis on a block where there are no valid positions caused an infinite crash loop #309

• Fixes issue where (Neo) Forge rendering would cause Consoles and Shells to stop rendering at certain angles

Technical Debt

• Cleaned up all Tardis manager classes and implemented common methods stuch as tick(ServerLevel level), saveData and loadData

• Unified door closing and door locking logic by implementing the TardisInternalDoor interface on AbstractDoorBlockEntity instead of some classes sometimes using the Blockstate property, and other classes sometimes using the BlockState properties directly.

  • Before this cleanup the codebase logic would continue to become even more inconsistent, difficult to maintain, test, debug and enable poor practices to slip in.

  • Example: Forgetting to update the exterior shell but not the internal door, and vice versa.

• Unified shell open and locking logic by using ExteriorShell interface which was introduced early on in the 1.19,2 development but was hidden in a random package and never referenced again.

• Relocated ExteriorShell interface to another package so that it's more noticeable

• Moved desktop generation logic into a method for ease of viewing

• Reordered some getter and setter methods in classes for ease of viewing

• Fixed teleportation via Tardis doors not using the correct facing, requiring us to call Direction#getOpposite in many places to compensate. Previously it created great difficulty to debug teleportation issues.

• Removed AbstractDoorBlockEntity#isLocked in favour of a Blockstate Property. This allows the locking logic to use the BlockState Property to be consistent with the Exterior Shell.

• Enhanced TardisExteriorManager#setOrUpdateExteriorBlock to not be as verbose with the parameters. Removed the boolean field, and added a default method called TardisExteriorManager.placeExteriorBlockForLanding which implements the correct logic for when the Tardis is landing, and thus requires a new Shell blockstate instance to be created.

• Exterior Shell updates using duplicate implementations across multiple classes, include AestheticHandler, TardisExteriorManager and TardisInteriorManager. This is now unified in TardisLevelOperator for ease of maintenance.

API Changes

• Added new events for addon mods - LockDoor and UnlockDoor, which are fired after the internal door and exterior shell blocks are locked/unlocked

• Made OpenDoor and CloseDoor events fire after doors have been updated. Previously it fired after the internal door updates, but before the exterior shell updated. This would have caused some issues when addon mods subscribe to these events because it would mean addon mods are applying logic before the exterior shell door has closed, which can have unintended consequences.

• Added ShellChangeSource, an object to identify why a Shell was updated. This provides additional data to use for differentiate logic between updating shell from landing the Tardis to when the shell is updated during terraforming
