BlueLib 2.2.0

[MeAlam1]

2.2.0

Requires NeoForge: 21.1.181 or higher

Added

• Annotated every method in the codebase with relevant annotations (@NotNull, @Nullable, @Experimental, @Internal, @OverrideOnly)
• Developers can now manually exclude custom mods in the LoadedModsEvent
• Moved ReloadHandler to the common package for shared access

Changed

• All dependencies updated to latest versions
• Set "Thank You" event priority to lowest (NeoForge only)

Variant Loader

• Fully rewritten and modernized the Variant Loader

• Introduced performance improvements like smarter caching and new utility methods

• Switched from String to ResourceLocation for saving entity identifiers

  • Allows multiple mods to use the Variant Loader without name conflicts

• Replaced getVariantName() and setVariantName() default interface methods (which relied on unstable casting to IVariantAccessor)

  • New generic interface: IVariantEntity<T>
  • Entities now implement IVariantEntity<YourClass> and override getEntity() to return this

  @Override
  public @NotNull YourEntityClass getEntity() {
      return this;
  }

  • This change improves type safety and eliminates the need to implement get/setVariantName() manually

Fixed

• Fixed crash when Scheduler failed to load without Variant Loader
• Made blue logging text lighter and easier to read
• Logging now works correctly when enabled in config
• Corrected a language inconsistency in the "Mods Loaded" message
• "Thank You" message now shows after loading is complete
• Resolved conflict where Minecraft reported a duplicate packet registration
