Behind-the-scenes

• Fixed the GitHub repository getting out of hand, by recondensing and syncing the branches into main and Astral-Experimental (#735, #738, #746) @The-Shortman
  • From now on, bugfixes should target main, while features should target Astral-Experimental
• Overhauled the release workflow, it now does basically everything automatically (#739, #740, #741, #742, #743, #745, #747, #748, #749, #750, #751, #752) @The-Shortman
  • Building client and server artifacts with dynamic versioning
  • Creating the Git tag for the release
  • Uploading the built artifacts to GitHub as a release
  • Parsing the changelog file and attaching it to the body of the release
• The repository uses dynamic versioning now (#736) @The-Shortman
  • The repository's permanent displayed version in the source code is now DEV
  • Artifacts are built automatically when pushed to main or triggered from the packwiz workflow
  • Built artifacts (apart from release artifacts) will have the version of [Git-Hash]-Build.[Run-Number], for example, b4156eb-Build.1347 applied to them
  • Release artifacts will have a normal semantic version associated with them

REMOVALS

Behind-the-scenes

• Removed the BLAZING_BLOOD_MADIC_AMOUNT constant from the entity melting recipe script, as it was only called once and has no other forseeable future purpose (#759) @The-Shortman
