Notable Changes

Here we try to mark any important changes between major updates and Minecraft updates. For a complete list, check our our Changelogs.

1.16.5 Changes

  • As of 1.16.5 you can use Templates from any version all the way back to Minecraft 1.14.4. This is super cool and should open the doors for a lot more templates to work across the mod and game versions. This does come with a caveat that if the Template system changes a lot in the future, we will have to drop or add limited support for the current system.

1.12+ Changes

Likely some of the largest changes have come from the 1.12 -> 1.14+ port of Building Gadgets. We changes a lot, and mostly for the better. Somethings have definitely been a hard change over and we hope that it hasn't impacted your experience with the mod.

  • Template system moved over from a stringified version of NBT data to a JSON file with a special body type and a material list. This unfortunately means that the older Templates from 1.12 no longer work in newer versions.
    • You can paste a 1.12 template into a 1.12 world and then load the template up in a newer version of Minecraft to get an updated version of an old template.
  • Binding inventories has become less smart meaning we no longer support some mods that we did before. We're working on improving this.
  • Durability has been removed from the gadgets as it was becoming complicated for people to understand although it might be making a return sometime soon (tm).
  • New mods, UI and config options were introduced to expand how the mod functions and how it's used.
  • Performance fixes have been made throughout the mod and we're still working on newer ones.
