Changelog

Quests & gameplay

• Bounty Hunter: dedicated quest tier (30–60 min contract), delayed spawn of the bmcmod:bounty_hunter target, progress only counts the contracted entity UUID, contract voids if the player dies.
• Skeleton Villager patrols: groups of 3–4 in the Overworld (survival), captain with Undead Invasion banner, occasional reward (Undead potion tier 1–3) when a player wipes the patrol; tunables in bmcmod-server.toml under skeleton_villager_patrol.

Compatibility & tags

• Scythe interop tag: c:tools/scythe includes #bmcmod:scythes; melee enchant tag includes #c:tools/scythe.
• Documented tags: bmcmod:boss_event_minibosses, bmcmod:boss_event_trophy_drops, plus item mirror c:boss_event_drops where applicable.

Creative inventory

• Better Minecraft creative tab laid out on a 9-column grid: armor sets (copper, emerald, enderite, boreal, obsidian, shulker) each on one row; clearer ordering of tools, materials, and bows.

Mobs & balance

• Radiant Slime: slightly more XP drained per hit; drain scales more noticeably with slime size.

Items & UI

• Boreal scythe: Mythic rarity display (client tooltip handler aligned with the boreal gear set).
• Enderite scythe: Legendary rarity display (aligned with the enderite gear set).

Advancements

• Better Minecraft tab background: topaz block texture (block/gems/topaz_block) — fixes the magenta missing texture grid (old nebrith_block path pointed to the wrong folder).
• Task frames unified for non-challenge advancements; challenge advancements keep the challenge frame.

Build

• Mod version 26.0.3-Beta; release JAR for Modrinth uploads: bmcmod-26.0.3-beta-1.21.1-NeoForge.jar.
