BlockCompanion 0.4.3

A hands-on tutorial: its own world, opened from the title screen, where you learn BlockCompanion by doing each thing
once. Building is quieter too. For Minecraft 1.21.1, 26.2 and 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge, and the Paper plugin.

New

  • Tutorial world: the title screen's BlockCompanion tutorial button (under Minecraft Realms) opens a world made
    for it. Each step asks you to do one thing, says "Good! You did it" when you have, and takes you on to the next area.
    • Chapter 1, the basics: open the menu, hold the stick, move a floating hut onto its floor (from outside, or from
      inside, where it moves the way you look), lock it, fix a red (wrong) block, break an orange (in the way) block,
      build a porch with easy place, step through layers and open the resource list.
    • Chapter 2, your own schematics: load one from the menu, turn it, mirror it, lock it in place, pick a ghost's
      block with the middle mouse button, link a chest, AutoBuild from it, share it on the server, and the live link to
      BlockDesigner: one friend designs in the app while another builds in the game.
    • Every step stays up at least 20 seconds, with a bar counting down to the next one. Enter goes on, Backspace
      goes back. The game mode follows the lesson (adventure, survival, creative), and chat and other panels stay out of
      the way. Key names are the ones you have bound.
  • Show me in the world: the guide's first page has a short camera tour with a demo schematic in front of you, in any
    world. Nothing in the world changes.
  • Guide in the menu: a Guide button next to Settings in the BlockCompanion menu.

Changed

  • Quieter building: only a wrong block makes a sound now (a low note). Finishing a layer or a whole schematic still
    shows its toast, sparkles and fireworks, without the chimes. The tutorial keeps its chimes.
