OreSpawn 4.1.0.118021 for Minecraft 1.18.2 (Forge)

Version 4.1.0.118021

• Add a mod directory and material-group ore controls, including exact block-tag
  aliases and sensible defaults when multiple managed MMD mods share an ore.
• Add a biome directory with exact new-terrain replacement and dimension-wide
  material controls. Existing chunks remain unchanged.
• Preserve older profiles and missing-mod settings while upgrading the provider,
  global, and world schemas to 5, 8, and 7.
• Split the build logic into smaller, commented scripts and use LF text files.
• Keep managed vanilla ore settings effective for inline biome features while
  preserving shared feature order and the original placement modifiers.
• Reject invalid geome IDs without renaming them, and add separate shared-ore
  test launches with complete Forge arguments and processed resources.

Version 4.0.16.118021

• Leave benchmark shutdown to the GameTest harness when a benchmark is run
  through Forge's GameTest server, preventing a null test-tracker crash and
  allowing the harness to report its real test result.
• Ordinary dedicated benchmark servers still stop automatically when requested.

Version 4.0.15.118021

• Classify generated geology and public geology samples through the same
  stable quart-biome cell at three-dimensional biome boundaries.
• Keep ore family-host filters and sampler predictions consistent when later
  surface features alter the final heightmap by a small amount.
• Existing chunks, profiles, API signatures, and schemas are unchanged.

Version 4.0.14.118021

• Convert exposed one-layer vanilla Snow from the first free cell immediately
  above Minecraft's motion-blocking surface when a dimension supplies a custom
  snow material.
• Retain the existing surface Ice conversion and leave buried or authored Snow
  and Ice unchanged.

Version 4.0.13.118021

• Give the public ore-dimension builder the exact biome include/exclude and
  biome-dictionary filter support already available in provider JSON.
• Accept valid namespaced geome IDs in both creation-editor validation paths
  while preserving legacy unnamespaced geome keys.
• API major 1, schemas, existing profiles, generated chunks, and worldgen
  behaviour are unchanged.

Version 4.0.12.118021

• Classify public geology samples at the same highest occupied block used by
  chunk geology generation, rather than the first free block above it.
• Keep public sampler predictions consistent with generated rock at vertical
  biome seams without changing existing chunks, profiles, or generation.

Version 4.0.11.118021

• Preserve biome-dictionary geome weights when a data-driven biome is reached
  through its stable registry key rather than the object baked at startup.
• Apply ore biome include and exclude filters by stable registry key so
  dynamic-registry biome instances with the same ID are treated consistently.
• Existing chunks and profile formats are unchanged; the corrections apply to
  generation in affected provider biomes.

Version 4.0.10.118021

• Evaluate Stable Layers rock min_y and max_y bounds against actual world Y
  instead of the vertically shifted formation coordinate.
• Preserve the shifted formation identity for layer, family, and rock choice
  while preventing vanilla Stone fallback near dimension floors and ceilings.
• Apply the correction only while generating new chunks; existing chunks and
  saved profiles remain unchanged.

Version 4.0.9.118021

• Replace provider-declared natural terrain hosts during the existing geology
  scan before structure and vegetation features can author matching blocks.
• Keep air, fluids, bedrock, and block entities protected even when their block
  IDs are mistakenly declared as terrain hosts.
• Apply the correction only while generating new chunks; existing chunks and
  saved profiles remain unchanged.

Version 4.0.8.118021

• Preserve long host, tag, and biome-list values when OreSpawn editors load
  and save an existing profile without user changes.
• Add reproducible ForgeGradle 7 builds, audited release artifacts, SHA-256
  checksums, Buildship launches, and guarded release automation.
• Export the complete bundled guide, including the shared version policy, to
  the player-facing configuration folder.
• Forge 1.12.2's 4.0.7 packaged access-transformer repair is target-specific
  and is not applicable to Forge 1.18.2.

Version 4.0.6.118021

• Adopt target-qualified four-component versions so Minecraft and loader compatibility can be identified from the mod version.
• Preserve generated worlds made with Mineralogy 1.10, 1.12, or 5.x by reading their saved mod metadata and exact legacy configuration before creating the OreSpawn world profile.
• Write human-readable, idempotent upgrade reports for legacy OreSpawn and Mineralogy imports while retaining source files and existing chunks unchanged.
• Audit automated runtime logs and dynamic-fluid generation so logged worldgen failures cannot pass merely because the process exits normally.
• Port OreSpawn 4.0.6.118021 to Minecraft 1.18.2 and Forge 40.3.0 using Java 17.
• Fix provider top and filler materials being generated one block below exposed ground.
• Apply underwater materials from the corrected ground and ceiling materials to roof undersides.
• Preserve trees, vegetation, structures and block entities by running surface replacement before late features.
• Preserve exact datapack-biome rules and stagger close Stable Layers geome boundaries.
• Recalibrate Edge Detail and the managed vanilla-ore defaults for Minecraft 1.18.2.
• Existing chunks are not rewritten; the correction applies while generating new chunks.

Version 4.0.5

• Complete native translations for every shipped non-English locale
• Add automatic fresh-and-reload validation for provider-owned custom biomes
• Verify both public biome-registration helpers on Forge 40
• Confirm Minecraft 1.18.2 ResourceLocation documentation and ForgeGradle 7 workflow
• Preserve public API major 1 and provider/global/world schemas 4/6/5

Version 3.3.1

• Fix several bugs
• Add ability to completely replace oregeneration (By popular request)
