WarbandCraft 0.2.1 — experimental native macOS patch

WarbandCraft 0.2.1 is an experimental patch for an existing installation. Close both bridge games, extract WarbandCraft-0.2.1-patch.zip into your existing WarbandCraft project folder, then open Play WarbandCraft 0.2.1.command. It starts the separate WarbandCraft-Next module and Prism instance. The original launcher remains available.

Fixes native framebuffer depth corruption, collider coordinates/scale, world teardown hangs and mission identity reuse. Includes the 0.2.0 construction mirroring, campaign checkpoint store, terrain sampling, color grading and experimental native lighting. The source, feature/test matrix and live evidence are included.

Native/GPU rendering checks, Java checkpoint/shape fixtures, all 50 mission-template checks, the Fabric build, transport tests and setup preservation checks passed locally before publication. This patch is validated in windowed 1280 × 720 with native antialiasing off.

Troop collision/navigation, exact shared combat, arbitrary native geometry import and paired native save/load remain unaccepted. Paired save hooks remain disabled by default. This is a local patch, not a fresh portable installation or a bundle of either game. Java 21 at the tested Temurin path and the existing WarbandCraft Prism instance are required. No game assets, accounts or saves are included.

See installation and RELEASE_STATUS.md for setup and the complete acceptance matrix. SHA-256 checksums and the per-file manifest are attached.

WarbandCraft 0.1.0 — experimental native macOS build

Initial experimental native macOS WarbandCraft release.

Real Minecraft Java 1.21.1 runs alongside native Steam Warband 1.174. The project includes the Fabric mod, Intel host libraries, mission-module installer, separate Prism profile template, manual launcher, source, documentation and regression checks.

Download and extract WarbandCraft-v0.1.0-macos.zip, run Setup WarbandCraft.command once with Warband closed, then use Play WarbandCraft.command. Choose a battle or load a campaign yourself; in a 3D scene, press F8 / Fn+F8 for Steve. Prism, Java 21 and owned copies of both games are required. See the repository setup guide.

Local native/Fabric builds, transport checks, setup preservation checks and all 50 mission-template validations passed. Redstone/TNT and camera correspondence were observed in the dedicated test setup. End-to-end combat, Elytra feel and all scene types still need gameplay acceptance. Native troops do not collide with Minecraft blocks. The supported default is windowed 1280×720; this is not a finished compatibility guarantee.
