🧾 v1.2.9 — Packet-size crash fix + scroll consolidation

#sinborn #changelog #bugfix #scrolls #historystages

🚨 The Crash

Login was broken by an Invalid player data disconnect.

Root cause: History Stages' SyncStageDefinitionsPacket serializes every scroll config into a single string, and Minecraft's FriendlyByteBuf.writeUtf caps strings at 262,144 chars. Total had hit 516,168 — over 2× the limit. 💥 cultivators_almanac.json alone was 285KB — a single file exceeding the whole-packet limit.

🔧 The Fix — items → mods

#packet-size #optimization

History Stages supports two gating modes:

• items: [...] — one string per item (bloats fast)
• mods: [...] — one string per mod, gates all items/blocks/recipes

Several scrolls had thousands of explicit item IDs when a 1-line mods entry would do the same job. 🪄

🌾 cultivators_almanac

2,190 items + 3,949 recipes across 11 food-mod namespaces → single mods array.

mods: farmersdelight, delightful, fruitsdelight, compatdelight, meadow, hearthandharvest, brewinandchewin, farm_and_charm, rusticdelight, foragersinsight, barbequesdelight

Kept 5 vanilla bee/honey items explicit.

📉 285,258 → 622 bytes 🎉

🍽️ many_tables

552 items + 580 recipes → single mods array.

mods: unusual_delight, dungeonsdelight, frightsdelight, festive_delight

📉 46,745 → 320 bytes

🧹 Orphan Mod Consolidation

#consolidation #orphans

Audited the remaining delight/food mods. Standardized each mod to one canonical home, mod-gated.

🔨 Quark Furnace Relocation

#quark #progression

• kindled_age → metalworking: moved quark:deepslate_furnace, quark:blackstone_furnace.
• Iron-tier hardware fits metalworking better than the age-trigger.

📖 Starter Book Fix

#starter-kit #lore

• Removed the "An atlas." line from page 3 of The Tale of the Sinborn in starter_items.js.
• The Forge-registry atlas injection fails silently in some environments, so the book was lying to players about their starter kit. ❌🗺️

📦 Final Packet Size

157,932 / 262,144 chars (60% of limit, 104KB headroom 💨)

⏸️ Deferred — Open Questions

#deferred #followups

• 💰 numismatics gated in electrified_codex (90min research) — delays coin rewards from quests/bounties. Pending decision to pull free.
• 🪨 Rest of Quark (pickarang, crafting pad, corundum, chiseled bookshelf, etc.) — split pending item-ID enumeration.
• 🍎 food_desire left ungated — starter kit needs food_desire:diet_book free.
