[1.20.1] Fabric backport of 1.20.4

[Rebel459]

Just wanted to start this off with saying thanks for the 1.20 update, this mod’s absolutely incredible. And yes, I know this has only just released for 1.20.4, but it would be absolutely incredible if a 1.20.1 release was possible in the future, as this awesome mod would massively improve so many modpacks, with which all the large ones are forced to use 1.20.1 due to mod availability. Thanks for your time

I am not sure what it would take to get a 1.20.1 version. It was a real pain getting it to 1.20.4. I will to my list when I get a chance - no promises. :)

[OreCruncher]

For what it's worth - the mod seems to run with Minecraft 1.20.3, though the in game sound config menu has some jank. 1.20.2 and earlier would require code changes.

[Rebel459]

Really appreciate the response and glad to hear you’re happy to consider it! Hopefully it’s not too big a task, but no issue if you don’t end up doing it. Have a good day, and thanks for supporting and developing such a great mod! :)

lets hope its not something too hard, i love the mod but unfortunately other mods and servers i play had not updated to 1.20.2/+

[sternschnaube]

Would love to use the mod on 1.20.2 😊

any updates on the backport?

[OreCruncher]

I haven't finished with 1.20.4 ;) I am almost done, though. Once that is completed I will be looking at Forge/Neoforge. Once THAT is done I can evaluate backports.

[Thefatsparrow]

cool keep us updated!

[VOLKOUL]

Forge/NeoForge support for 1.20.1 would be like finding diamonds for the first time.

[VOLKOUL]

Actually, since we have Sinytra Connector, focusing on a backport to 1.20.1 would be a more preferable option imo. That way people wouldn't have to wait as much and you would not have to learn porting to other modloaders.

[OreCruncher]

Not sure if I want to be in a position to support something like Sinytra connector. Though, technically, there shouldn't be anything for me to do I don't want to field support issues involving components like that. I did enough looking at Forge recently and the startup behaviors are different enough to give my mod headaches, and I do not think something like Sinytra would improve things.

This being said, the work I am doing for the next release will simplify any porting I may do, whether to Forge or even earlier versions of Fabric. I did a trial of doing a Fabric 1.20.1 build and it looks pretty reasonable. Once I push the release I am working on I will take a harder look at a Fabric 1.20.1 release.

[OreCruncher]

And I have a 1.20.1 version running. The sound config GUI needs some TLC and I have to do a bunch more testing. Looks promising.

[Rebel459]

I’m super hyped to see it! Do you want some help testing?

[OreCruncher]

Unfortunately, some of the stuff I am looking for is based on my internal understanding of the mod. The weird corner cases that keep me up at night. :)

Any recommendations for a 1.20.1 modpack? Just ran through Fabulously Optimized. Looking for something that stresses the environment with different things.

[Rebel459]

You want to stress it? Honestly use mine lmao (Legacies on modrinth), I am planning to use DynamicSurroundings after all I have way too much cursed random niche crap in it, it’s a big (mod-count-wise) pack with over 250 mods That or you could just use the regular old BetterMC etc

[Thefatsparrow]

Install terralith and continents that really stresses and tests your computer

[Rebel459]

…that’s not remotely what they meant by that

[OreCruncher]

@Rebel459 As an FYI - some of the biomes added by the pack do not have biome tags set so Dynamic Surroundings will not play biome effects in those areas. A datapack can supply the missing tags. When integrating DS into your pack you can do a "/dsdump biomes" to get a list of what DS thinks of the various biomes.

[OreCruncher]

Just pushed the 1.20.1 version to both CurseForge and Modrinth.

[Rebel459]

Thanks a ton for the heads-up, will do! And thanks so much for the port and the backport, super excited to finally see you and Dynamic Surroundings return!

[OreCruncher]

For what it's worth it seems the 1.20.1 works with the Sinytra mod framework. At least it loaded, I got biome sounds, debug screen, and I get cave reverb.

[sternschnaube]

Is 1.20.2 off the table? 👀

[OreCruncher]

Not sure how many people are on 1.20.2. There are differences between 1.20.1 and .2 that Mojang made that would cause me to have a special build.

[sternschnaube]

If it's not that much work it would be cool, otherwise it's already great that you supported 1.201 😊
