Wilder Wild

Additions

• Added the Ostrich!

  • Ostriches are a feathery new mob with a passion for fighting.
  • Is tamed the same way as Horses, but takes a bit longer due to their feistier nature.
  • Instead of charging a jump while being ridden it will attack with its beak, the strength depending on how high the meter was charged.
    • If its beak hits a softer block while trying to attack, it may get stuck temporarily.
      • Added the wilderwild:ostrich_beak_buryable tag to control which blocks these are, currently containing the tags minecraft:mineable/shovel, minecraft:mineable/hoe, and minecraft:wool.
    • Added a new Ostrich Peck Attack config option to control whether or not players can use the Ostrich's attack while riding one.
  • Can be bred with Bushes.
    • Will lay an egg upon breeding.
      • Does not require Silk Touch to be obtained.
      • Requires a solid surface below in order to hatch.
  • Naturally spawns in the Savanna, Savanna Plateau, and Windswept Savanna biomes.
    • Added the wilderwild:has_ostrich biome tag to control which biomes they will spawn in.
    • Added the Spawn Ostriches config option to control whether or not Ostriches will spawn naturally.
  • If attacked and not tamed, it will chase after its attacker and peck them to death.
    • If they are tamed, this behavior will only apply to non-player mobs.
    • Will call other Ostriches for backup, like Wolves and Crabs.
    • While provoked, cannot be ridden or fed unless it's already tamed.
    • If tamed, can be fed or ridden while provoked to calm down.

• Added the Dying Forest!

  • New Fall-based grounds for all Fall enjoyers!
  • Contains Dying Trees, Dead Trees, Semi-Dead Trees, Fallen Trees, and few Living Trees.
  • The Grass and Foliage color is similar to that of Forests, but warmer and more mute.
  • All regular Forest Flowers grow here, though Seeding Dandelions generate more frequently.
  • Large Mushrooms generate just as they do in Forests here.
  • Bushes and Dead Bushes generate frequently throughout this biome.
  • Pumpkins will generate frequently here in comparison to other biomes.
  • Coarse Dirt Mounds, Coarse Dirt Paths, and Podzol Paths decorate the floor of this biome.

• Added the Snowy Dying Forest!

  • A mixture of death and snow. Perfect.
  • Contains only Dead Trees, Semi-Dead Trees, and Fallen Trees.
  • The only Flower found here is the Seeding Dandelion.
  • Dead Bushes generate frequently throughout this biome.
  • Coarse Dirt Mounds will occasionally generate in this biome.

• Added the Dying Mixed Forest!

  • I couldn't think of anything for this one.
  • Contains Dying Trees, Dead Trees, Semi-Dead Trees, Fallen Trees, few Living Trees, and regular Spruce Trees.
  • All regular Mixed Forest Flowers grow here, though Seeding Dandelions generate more frequently.
  • Bushes and Dead Bushes generate frequently throughout this biome.
  • Pumpkins will generate frequently here in comparison to other biomes.
  • Coarse Dirt Mounds, Coarse Dirt Paths, and Podzol Paths decorate the floor of this biome.

• Added the Snowy Dying Mixed Forest!

  • Be patient with it, it has very mixed feelings about dying to frostbite.
  • Contains only Dead Trees, Semi-Dead Trees, Fallen Trees, and regular Spruce Trees.
  • The only Flower found here is the Seeding Dandelion.
  • Dead Bushes generate frequently throughout this biome.
  • Coarse Dirt Mounds will occasionally generate in this biome.

Bug Fixes & Changes

• Updated the protocol version to 3.
• Removed the Coated Sculk item model.
• Added a new main menu panorama.
• Added codecs to as many blocks as possible.
  • This has resulted in some blocks receiving reorganized and/or new constructor parameters.
• Removed the FloweringLilyPadBlock class as it was redundant.
  • Please note that this will not impact the block itself in any way.
• Added many public static fields to blocks for better code readability and editability.
• Significantly improved the OsseousSculkBlock class and merged both growing methods into one.
• Sculk Charges will now move to newly placed blocks in Osseous Sculk pillars upon growth.
• Osseous Sculk no longer strictly requires a Hoe in order to drop, and now only looks for the Silk Touch enchantment.
  • This doesn't mean they'll only move in one direction, they'll just be snapped to that position initially as the block is set and can still move downwards afterward.
• Echo Glass will now drop itself upon cracking if not hit by a Sonic Boom.
• Stripped Logs can now once again be hollowed with an Axe.
• Made the subtitle for hollowing a Log more consistent with the subtitle for stripping a Log.

• Optimized how the Tumbleweed Stem's selects its outline/collision shape.
• Reworked the LiquidBlockRendererMixin for making the underside of Water smooth to now be extremely reliable and much safer.
  • This also fixes an issue where other liquids like Lava could incorrectly be assigned different textures on occasion.
• Removed the Goat Horn Symphony and Back discs as they didn't feel like necessary additions, nor did they fit Vanilla.
  • These will be datafixed into Lena Raine's Otherside and Samuel Åberg's 5 respectively.

• Changed the default size growth of the Ancient Horn Vibration from 0 to 0.01 per tick.
  • This is adjustable in the Ancient Horn Size Multiplier config, which used to be 0 by default.
  • You will likely need to manually edit this value if you've played with Wilder Wild before, as the config will likely have 0 saved from a previous version.
• Made the visual scaling of Ancient Horn Vibrations much smoother.
• Fixed the visual scaling of Ancient Horn Vibrations to match their bounding boxes.

Wilder Wild 2.2 Newsletter - Luna

Hey, all! This is Luna/AViewFromTheTop here. :)

I decided to start this "newsletter" of sorts as an easier way to communicate with you all, and to share things that I (or Treetrain, if he decides to write as well) would like our community to look out for and whatnot.

First order of business, I'm hoping I've just been able to fix #311, The issue where C2ME would sometimes cause crashes while generating a Deep Dark biome. I'd like for you all to test if this issue has actually been fixed, and if not, to create a new issue for it on our GitHub page.

Aside from that, I'd appreciate if you all could give us feedback on Crabs! They've been quite troublesome to make and I'm sure I wasn't able to incorporate every idea possible into them, so I'd like to know what you think could be improved upon or what may be missing. On that note, help from other modders to get their rotation and navigation working flawlessly would be very much appreciated!

Crabs work a bit like Wardens, by the way. They can detect specific game events while hiding underground, which will cause them to emerge. They will always emerge if a Player is within 4 blocks of them, however. Projectiles landing, explosions, blocks breaking, etc. will cause a Crab to emerge. So why didn't I make "lower" vibrations trigger this? As a matter of fact, it's based both on fact and for gameplay reasons. Crabs hardly have good enough hearing and mostly depend on pressure changes to tell where things are, if I remember correctly. While researching this I came across someone who found a Crab would immediately react to someone jumping, but wouldn't budge with music blasting directly towards it. Now, I understand how the assortment of Vibrations I chose for the Crab to react to may be omitting some relatively logical options, though, I personally believe there is substantial enough reason to do so on the gameplay side of things. I want Crabs to have a balance between feeling sneaky, ruthless, yet innocent and still maintaining a naive nature. I don't want them emerging if they can tell they wouldn't be in possible immediate danger! I almost forgot to mention, too, this behavior was inspired by the Sheargrubs in Pikmin. I want Crabs to occassionally surprise the player when they suddenly emerge, you know? Scary.

The last thing I'd like to mention is that we're open to new sound designers and texture artists! I would prefer to have a few of each so we don't have to pawn all our requests on to one person, and to allow for more flexibility and looser deadlines in our team. It would also be beneficial to be able to review multiple takes on one idea, if need be!

12/14/2023 Update: Whew! That was a long trip. Since I wrote that newsletter, I had a ton of stuff to fix and Treetrain managed to do some of the most insane things ever, including config syncing! I'm hoping this is the day 2.2 releases, there have been so many improvements made and so many challenges overcome (and honestly 80% of which we can all thank Treetrain for,) and I just want to get this over with so I can work on my other mods. And Wilder Wild 2.3... I think I already know what I want it to be.
