CreatureChat™

[1.3.0] - 2025-01-14

Added

• In-game chat messages are now displayed in chat bubbles above players heads!
• Custom player icons (icons can be embedded in player skin file)
  • Step-by-Step Icon Tutorial: ICON.md
  • Mixin to extend PlayerSkinTexture to make a copy of the NativeImage + pixel toggle to enable
• New command /creaturechat chatbubbles set <on | off> to show or hide player chat messages in bubbles
• Improved LLM Unit tests (to prevent rate limit issues from certain providers when running all tests)
  • Check friendship direction (+ or -) in LLM unit tests (to verify friendship direction is output correctly)

Changed

• Seperated Player and Entity message broadcasts (different packets for simplicity)
• Reduced size of player skin face on chat bubble, to match sizes of custom icons (for consistency)
• Updated entity icons for allay, creeper, and pig

Fixed

• Hide death messages for mobs with no chat data
• Fixed transparent background behind chat screen for Minecraft 1.20 and 1.20.1.
• Removed extra message broadcast (which was unnecessary)

[1.2.1] - 2025-01-01

Changed

• Refactor of EntityChatData constructor (no need for playerName anymore)
• Improved LLM / AI Options in README.md (to more clearly separate free and paid options)
• Improved LLM unit tests for UNFLEE (trying to prevent failures for brave archer)

Fixed

• Fixed a bug which broadcasts too many death messages (any mob with a custom name). Now it must also have a character sheet.
• Prevent crash due to missing texture when max friend/enemy + right click on entity
• Fixed bug which caused a max friend to interact with both off hand + main hand, causing both a message + riding (only check main hand now)
• Hide auto-generated messages from briefly appearing from the mob (i.e. interact, show, attack, arrival)
• Name tags were hidden for entities with no character sheet (they are now rendered)

[1.2.0] - 2024-12-28

Added

• New friendship particles (hearts + fire) to indicate when friendship changes
• Added sound effects for max friendship and max enemy
• New follow, flee, attack, lead, and protect particles & sound effects (for easy confirmation of behaviors)
• New animated lead particle (arrows pointing where they are going)
• New animated attack particles (with random # of particles)
• New sounds and particles when max friendship with EnderDragon (plus XP drop)
• New /creaturechat story command to customize the character creation and chat prompts with custom text.

Changed

• Entity chat data now separates friendship by player and includes timestamps
• When entity conversations switch players, a message is added for clarity (so the entity knows a new player entered the conversation)
• Data is no longer deleted on entity death, and instead a "death" timestamp is recorded
• Removed "pirate" speaking style and a few <non-response> outputs
• Passive entities no longer emit damage particles when attacking, they emit custom attack particles
• Protect now auto sets friendship to 1 (if <= 0), to prevent entity from attacking and protecting at the same time
• Seperated generateCharacter() and generateMessage() functions for simplicity
• Fixing PACKET_S2C_MESSAGE from crashing a newly logging on player, if they receive that message first.
• Added NULL checks on client message listeners (to prevent crashes for invalid or uninitialized clients)
• Broadcast ALL player friendships with each message update (to keep client in sync with server)

Fixed

• Fixed a regression caused by adding a "-forge" suffix to one of our builds
• Do not show auto-generated message above the player's head (you have arrived, show item, etc...)
