What's Changed

• This release represents a major refactor of MCprep, milestone details here
• Dropped Blender 2.7x support (#399)
• Made contributing and releasing MCprep easier for developers
  • Introduction of the new bpy-addon-build utility to easily work with MCprep locally
  • Cross platform unittests to ensure all contributions can be validated
  • Removing the need for direct code changes when compiling prod vs dev builds of the addon
  • Created a better designed env class to hold state and data.
  • Support for a release candidate workflow going forward
  • Python type hinting used where possible, making it easier for development and debugging
• Updated assets:
  • New Minecraft 1.20 textures and block references
  • Fixes to the BoxScape Studios villager rig by @Roni-Raihan
• Affirming blender 4.0 support including most basic working of AgX (color values may still need further revisions)
• Fixed issues when generating materials during json model loading. If you are importing a third party json block model, it should now handle more gracefully - even if it means importing without textures.
• Fixed loading geo node weather effects in Blender 4.0
