[1.21.1] - 0.1.2 - 29.11.2025

Registry namespace changed: All vanilla backport features now use minecraft: namespace instead of copperagebackport:
Affected items: Copper Tools, Copper Armor, Copper Nugget, Copper Horse Armor, Spawn Egg
Affected blocks: Copper Chests, Copper Golem Statues, Shelves, Copper Torch, Copper Lanterns, Copper Chains, Copper Bars
Affected entities: Copper Golem
Copper Buttons: Remain at copperagebackport: as they are not in vanilla Minecraft 1.21.10
Backwards compatibility: Old worlds with copperagebackport: IDs are automatically migrated on load
Resource files: All recipes, loot tables, tags, models, and textures updated to use minecraft: namespace

New recipe: Copper Ingots surrounding a Chest now craft a Copper Chest (matches vanilla 1.21.10)
Removed recipes: Exposed, Weathered, and Oxidized Copper Chest crafting recipes removed
Oxidation only: Oxidized chest variants can now only be obtained through natural oxidation over time

Weathering system: Vanilla Lightning Rod now oxidizes over time like other copper blocks
8 new variants: Exposed, Weathered, Oxidized + Waxed versions of each
Mixin integration: Vanilla minecraft:lightning_rod is extended to support weathering
Waxing support: Use honeycomb to prevent oxidation
Scraping support: Use axe to remove wax or revert oxidation
Full functionality: All variants retain lightning attraction and redstone output

Smithing Table support: Copper Armor can now be trimmed in the Smithing Table
Darker trim variant: Copper Trim on Copper Armor uses a darker color palette for visibility (matches vanilla behavior)

Amendments compatibility: Copper Lanterns now extend LanternBlock for automatic Amendments support (wall placement, falling behavior)
SophisticatedStorage support (NeoForge): Copper Golem can now use SophisticatedStorage Chests and Barrels as item destinations (works with all tiers: Wood, Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite)
- Chests play opening/closing animations when accessed by Copper Golem
IronChests support (NeoForge): Copper Golem can now use Iron Chests containers as item destinations (works with all types: Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Crystal, Obsidian, Dirt + trapped variants)
- Chests play opening/closing animations when accessed by Copper Golem
ConnectibleChains support (Fabric only): Copper Chains can be connected between fences and walls like vanilla Iron Chains
- Note: No NeoForge version available as ConnectibleChains is Fabric-only for 1.21.1

Crowdin integration: Added automatic translation download from Crowdin during build process
Community translations: Everyone can help translate the mod at https://crowdin.com/project/copper-golem-legacy
Supported languages: German, Spanish (Spain & Mexico), French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil & Portugal), Russian, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Ukrainian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Romanian, Bulgarian, Slovak, Slovenian, Croatian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian more can be requested

Container selection order: Fixed Copper Golem selecting containers in wrong order when multiple containers are equidistant. Now correctly matches vanilla 1.21.10 behavior by sorting BlockEntities by BlockPos.hashCode() in descending order. This also fixes selection across chunk boundaries.

Loot table behavior: Fixed Copper Chest to match vanilla behavior - chest contents now drop on the ground when mined instead of being stored in the item (like normal chests, not like Shulker Boxes)

Oxidation while pressed: Copper Buttons no longer oxidize while they are pressed, preventing them from getting stuck

BOM detection and removal: Added automatic UTF-8 BOM detection and removal task for all mod files across all versions. This prevents encoding issues that could cause compilation problems or runtime errors.
