2.0.0-beta.2c for 1.21

• It appears that the serialization fixes from 2.0.0-beta.2 weren't actually saved to git. This has been rectified. The issue is most certainly resolved now. (@StellarWitch7)

2.0.0-beta.2b for 1.21

• Fixed (hopefully) all remaining issues with map fragments by using a more reliable third party HAMT implementation.

2.0.0-beta.2 for 1.21

• Fixed an error in the serialization of running spells which has surfaced for the second time due to poor documentation. (@StellarWitch7)
  • The offending function has been renamed and documentation clarifying its purpose has been added.
• Made the Folding Distortion support iteration over map fragments. (@StellarWitch7)
• Added a Creative-only variant of Knot which has infinite mana. Possible texture improvements pending. (@StellarWitch7)
• Fixed an issue where two registries with the same identifier were being loaded, causing issues on Neoforge. (@StellarWitch7)

2.0.0-beta.1b for 1.21

• Fixed a rare issue causing spells to fail when inserting map entries.

2.0.0-beta.1 for 1.21

• Redesigned the mana system significantly, making mana a semi-limited resource. (@enjarai and @StellarWitch7)
  • Players and entities no longer have mana pools.
  • Bloodcasting is no longer possible.
  • Instead, mana is contained in items called Knots.
    • These gemstones encased in glass orbs hold a certain amount of mana based on their rarity.
    • Some Knot types may have unique properties that manipulate mana in special ways.
    • Most Knots can be passively recharged under moonlight.
      • Knots charge most strongly under a new or full moon, but may not charge at all on some phases inbetween.
  • Mana over time is now measured in Merlins.
    • Merlins = Gandalfs / Tick
  • Many trick costs have been rebalanced to accommodate these changes.
  • Multiple tricks have also been added to automatically move mana around between knots.
• Introduced Spell Constructs. (@enjarai and @StellarWitch7)
  • These artificial spellcasting devices directly replace in-world spell circles, which have been removed.
  • Spell Constructs do not have an up-front mana cost, but must be crafted instead.
    • Once crafted, a spell can be inscribed onto the Construct.
    • When placed in the world, this spell will be cast persistently until completion.
    • If a mana source is required, a Knot may be inserted into the Construct.
• Also introduced Modular Spell Constructs. (@enjarai and @StellarWitch7)
  • These variations of the normal Construct contain four slots for Spell Cores.
    • Instead of casting a spell directly, Cores must be inserted containing the spells to be cast.
    • All inserted spells will be cast and run concurrently.
    • All cores share the same crowmind and mana pool from the provided knot.
    • Multiple tricks have been added to delegate to and manipulate other cores on the same Construct.
    • This allows for practical and persistent multithreaded spell design.
• Added Macros. (@Master-Bw3, @enjarai, and @StellarWitch7)
  • A list of Macros may be defined by inscribing a map of patterns to spells onto a common ring.
  • When wearing this ring, any pattern defined in the map can be drawn while spell-scribing to invoke the corresponding spell.
    • The given spell will be cast and given the circle the pattern was drawn in as an argument.
    • The spell may then construct a new circle using meta-programming to replace the given one.
  • A few changes were made to support this.
    • Any fragment can now be inscribed onto an item, not just spells.
    • Map fragments were added.
      • Wards and the Closure Stratagem have been tweaked to make use of this.
    • Pattern literals were added.
• Removed shadow blocks. (@StellarWitch7)
  • This feature has been moved to a separate addon mod due to Sodium incompatibilities.
• Added internal caching for pure tricks. (@StellarWitch7)
• Significantly increased viable spell depth, making it effectively™ infinite. (@StellarWitch7)
• Impulse cost scaling now accounts for multiple casts within the same tick. (@StellarWitch7)
  • As a consequence, tricks may now internally attach arbitrary data to a spell which persists for the remaining executions in the current tick.
• Added a trick to guarantee a spell's full execution within a single tick. (@StellarWitch7)
• Fixed a couple things which appeared to cause incompatibility with Connector. (@unilock)
  • Might not be everything, given #64 changed a lot.

2.0.0-alpha.39 for 1.21

• Undid Sodium compat changes temporarily due to a crash on world load. (@enjarai)

2.0.0-alpha.38 for 1.21

• Added Flecks, a way to display lines and other features in the world using spells. (@Vlue, @enjarai, @StellarWitch7)
  • This system will be expanded upon in the future.
• Added scroll shelves, a way to nicely display and store scrolls in your base. (@enjarai)
• Implemented a weight system for fragments. (@enjarai)
  • Overweight fragments may cause a spell to fail.
  • Weight limits are set quite generously, and are subject to change based on feedback.
• Modified a bunch of trick signatures to be chainable. (@StellarWitch7)
• Fix being able to die from mana overuse in creative mode. (@enjarai)
• Fix scrolling in the hat ui only working for offhand hats. (@enjarai)
• Partially fixed compatibility with Sodium for shadow blocks. (@enjarai)
  • Some behaviour is still inconsistent between vanilla and Sodium, but we plan to address this.
• Implemented a temporary solution for Surveyor (used by Antique Atlas) compat. (@enjarai)
• Added a keybind for modifying any spell on any item in creative mode. (@Awakened-Redstone)

2.0.0-alpha.37 for 1.21

• Added 16 colors of dyed spell scrolls. (@enjarai)
• Added two extra hat types. (@enjarai)
  • These function exactly the same as the Top Hat, just with a different aesthetic.
• Added a third person animation when taking off and putting on a hat. (@enjarai)
• Added a HUD element showing the currently selected scroll when holding a hat in your offhand. (@enjarai)
• Generally polished hat interactions.
• Updated multiple textures courtesy of @Crephan.
• Fixed a bug letting players save ephemeral fragments within lists. (@enjarai)
• Tweaked how bloodcasting damage is applied, making it less forgiving. (@enjarai)
• Fixed a slight oddity in the spell editor, where one could interact with a fake root as if it is the real root. (@StellarWitch7)

2.0.0-alpha.36 for 1.21

• Solved scroll and mirror UI not updating the item most of the time (again). (@StellarWitch7)

2.0.0-alpha.35 for 1.21

• Solved scroll and mirror UI not updating the item most of the time. (@StellarWitch7)
• Fixed inconsistency in the distortions section of the book and made constants revisions. (@StellarWitch7)
