Fixes

• Fixed datapacks with item interaction evolutions that don't specify an item crashing the world on load.
• Fixed the Pokédex evolution tree crashing when a datapack's dex entry is missing an evolution's form.
• Fixed the Pokédex evolution tree crashing with a stack overflow on evolutions that loop back on themselves.
• Fixed the Pokédex evolution tree crashing when looking at a dex that is not part of the "National Dex" aggregate.
• Fixed some display names in the Pokédex evolution tree having unintended font colours.
• Fixed evolution trees not building properly when a Pokémon has several Pokédex entries for different regions.
• Fixed form-changing evolutions sometimes resolving to the source form in the Pokédex evolution tree.
• Broken datapack evolutions are now logged and skipped in the Pokédex evolution tree instead of crashing.
• Fixed the alpha property having no tab completion in commands such as /pokespawn, /pokegive and /pokeedit, and added the missing dmax_level, gmax_factor and tradable aliases to tab completion.
• Fixed friendship booster items not being recognised as such.
• Fixed conflicts with other mods that would make use of recipe books in certain ways (Farmer's Delight Cooking Pot).
• Fixed Pokémon battles stalling when a sidemod cancels the THROWN_POKEBALL_HIT hit event.
• Fixed choice feature tab completion in spawnpokemon/pokegive/pokeedit commands.
• Fixed MoLang that's targeting players intermittedly failing when they have died, requiring them to relog.
• Fixed a NeoForge bug where none of the Cobblemon plants/berries could be placed into pots.
• Fixed party overlay not hiding when the player opens the Pokédex scanner.
• Fixed hate_entity task focusing on its own entity, therefore enabling deadly warfare between Zangoose and Seviper.
• Prehistoric Frozen Pond, Prehistoric Frozen Spike, and Prehistoric Lush Den now actually generate (oops).
• Fixed Frogadier floating in its battle_idle animation.
• Fixed absence or incorrect mergers in spawning conditions, causing the max height/depth of conditions to use the min value instead.
• Added stricter riding checks on server side to prevent possible packet forgery when a player tries to ride Pokémon.
• Fixed Pokémon cries and animation sounds played from GUIs, such as the starter selection screen and the Pokédex, being tied to the Master volume slider instead of Friendly Creatures.
• Fixed Archeops T-posing during its air_cry animation.

Developer

• Bumped NeoForge to 21.1.195 to get access to MixinExtras 0.5 and the expressions annotation.
• New Platform Event PLAYER_RESPAWN which is fired when a player respawns (either through death or returning from the end).
• Platform Events SERVER_PLAYER_TICK_PRE and SERVER_PLAYER_TICK_POST no longer fire when the player is dead.
  • It is now tied much closer to the actual entity rather than the player or their connection.

Molang & Datapacks

• Fixed q.pokemon.nature returning class instance instead of proper string value (cobblemon:adamant).
• Fixed q.entity.is_looking_at result being always 1 for whatever entity passed as the target parameter.
• Added hate chance optional parameter to hate_entity task. 1.0 will make an entity always attack the target.
