v2.0.0

The rule-adaptation layer becomes an open extension point, terrain shape gets a
copy-free hook mechanism, and the library ships as a proper Gradle dependency.

Datapacks are unaffected. Every 1.x datapack loads unchanged: the isekai:
dispatch prefix is accepted as a deprecated alias (logs one warning per id), and all
existing payload schemas are byte-for-byte compatible. The breaking changes are on the
Java API only (see below) — this is a major bump because the SPI interfaces changed
shape, not because datapacks broke.

Breaking (Java API)

The five in-house dispatch interfaces — SpatialPredicate, RemapStrategy, BiomeZone,
SurfaceAnchor, TransitionRule — are now registry-backed extension points instead of
sealed codec unions:

• sealed is removed from all five. Exhaustive switch statements over their variants no
  longer compile — handle them through their behavior methods or a default branch.
• String typeId() is removed from all five. To recover a variant's registered id, ask
  the registry: registry.getKey(variant.codec()). The registry keys live in
  api/registry/IsekaiRegistries.
• New abstract methods carry each interface's evaluation contract:
  SpatialPredicate.test(EvaluationContext), RemapStrategy.remap(VerticalRange, RemapContext),
  SurfaceAnchor.resolveY(PlacementContext, BlockPos). Custom Java implementations must
  supply them.

Datapack authors and consumers who only use the built-in variants from JSON are unaffected.

Added

• Open SPI. Third parties register their own variant of any of the five interfaces from
  their own mod id by adding a MapCodec to the matching registry in
  api/registry/IsekaiRegistries — no fork, no PR. See
  docs/DATAPACK_REFERENCE.md → "Extending the SPI".
• api/predicate/EvaluationContext and api/remap/RemapContext — the world-access and
  math seams that variant test / remap implementations receive.
• isekai_api:hooked_overworld preset + hook/final_density density function. A new
  dimension references the preset and overrides one small hook file to change terrain shape —
  no 2500-line noise_settings copy. A whole floating-island world is two files.
  (README)
• Terrain-relative ore remap — isekai_api:column_local (RemapStrategy),
  isekai_api:world_floor (SurfaceAnchor) and isekai_api:column_relative (placement
  modifier). Every other remap strategy produces one absolute Y band per feature, which can
  only ever be right for terrain at one altitude; column_local normalizes a feature's
  vanilla Y to a depth and resolves it against each column's own surface and underside as the
  feature is placed. Floating islands, orbiting planets and sky continents get the same
  internal ore layout whatever height they sit at. RemapStrategy gained a
  remapToColumn(VerticalRange, RemapContext) default method returning
  Optional.empty(), so every existing strategy — built-in or third-party — keeps the
  absolute behaviour unchanged.
• isekai_api:vanilla_overworld_surface — a delegate SurfaceRules.RuleSource that
  reproduces the vanilla overworld surface rule, so overworld-replacement datapacks skip the
  30 KB surface-rule copy.
• Distribution as a Gradle dependency: sources and javadoc jars, and a maven repo.
  See docs/COMPATIBILITY.md.

Changed

• Dispatch prefix unified to isekai_api:. All "type" values normalise to the
  isekai_api namespace; docs and examples use it throughout.
• Inline apply_worldshape / apply_worldshape_structures modifier forms are superseded by
  the _ref forms.

Fixed

• isekai_api:worldshape_surface_top self-gates to the surface layer. Prepended bare into a
  surface_rule sequence it replaces only the topmost surface block; the blocks beneath keep the
  underlying surface rule's output. No minecraft:stone_depth wrapper is required, and wrapping it
  in one is harmless.

Deprecated

• The bare isekai: dispatch prefix — accepted with a one-time warning, removed in the
  next major. Rewrite "type": "isekai:*" to "type": "isekai_api:*".
• Inline modifier forms — use the _ref forms. Same one-major grace.
