v0.7.5

Release v0.7.5 - World Gen, Recipes & Weather Fixes

This update brings crucial bug fixes, deep performance optimizations, and expanded compatibility to ensure a smoother survival experience.

Crafting & Recipes

• Purified Water Bottle Recipe Fix:
  • Corrected outdated Ore Dictionary syntax (#CHARCOAL_FILTER → forge:ore_dict) for proper Forge 1.12.2 compatibility.
  • Added strict NBT data checks to the input water bottle. This fixes the "Uncraftable Potion" visual artifact in JEI and prevents players from accidentally converting valuable potions into purified water.

World Generation

• Ice Generation Refactor:
  • Resolved a bug where Purified Water Ice would incorrectly overwrite Salt Water Ice during world generation loops.
  • Optimized chunk coordinate calculations using bitshift operations for faster math.
  • Added safety gates to skip invalid precipitation heights (e.g., deep oceans), preventing unnecessary processing ticks.
  • Applied proper block update flags (flag = 2) during generation to bypass redundant light updates and neighbor notifications, speeding up world loading.

Mod Compatibility

• Weather2 Remastered Support:
  • Rain Collectors now correctly detect and fill during localized rain events generated by Weather2.
  • Implemented a highly optimized, static-cached reflection system to scan for Weather2's API. This ensures zero performance impact, zero memory leaks, and a graceful fallback to vanilla behavior if the mod is absent.

Localization & System

• Translations: Added French support via machine translation, updated Spanish (Mexico) with official regional terms, and tweaked Spanish (Spain).
• ModUpdateChecker: Updated tracking endpoints to properly align with the juraj-hrivnak versioning index.
