2.6.0 - 2026-03-05

At this point, I have implemented all features I wanted to see in Wildex for now, so I am starting the port to newer versions (1.21.11) to be better prepared for the next update drop. If issues appear, the 1.21.1 version will of course still receive bug-fix updates.

Added

• Wildex Pedestal Block: Place a Wildex on the pedestal to show a rotating hologram of discovered mobs. The hologram can be turned off via redstone. The inserted Wildex is owner-protected in multiplayer.
• Wildex Analyzer Block: Insert an item and power it with redstone to run an analysis (~10 seconds). The inserted item must be one of the mob's Wildex loot items: if it can unlock a new Wildex entry, the item is consumed; otherwise the item is dropped back out with feedback.
• Models/Textures: Added custom block models/textures for Wildex Pedestal and Wildex Analyzer.
• Advancements: Added dedicated recipe unlock advancements.
• UI Sounds: Added interface sound effects.
• Admin Commands: New discovery management:
  • /wildex discover add <player> <mob_id>
  • /wildex discover remove <player> <mob_id>

Changed

• Variant Labels: Shown as compact names (e.g., Blue) instead of generic Variant N (blue) labels.
• Header UI: The right header now appends the selected variant to the mob name (e.g., Sheep (Blue)).
• Stats Tab: Now shows attack damage split by difficulty as Damage (E/N/H) (Easy/Normal/Hard).
• Variant Probing: * Extended setter matching (setX, setXByKey, setXKey) for broader mod compatibility.
  • Improved ResourceKey/ResourceLocation token handling for stable variant IDs.
  • Remains client-preview scoped to keep multiplayer behavior safe.

Fixed

• Aether: Fixed Moa variants not being detected by Wildex variant discovery.
• UI Alignment: Fixed Share screen player-dropdown arrow alignment so the indicator sits correctly inside the dropdown box.

Compatibility

• Existing worlds: Supported.
• Migration: No world/save data migration required.
• Multiplayer-safe: Server-authoritative discovery/progress flow remains intact.
• Update path: Safe from 2.5.0.
