Bits and Balance v2.1.0

Minor Additions

• Screenshots to Clipboard

  • Screenshots now copy to your clipboard and show a client-side "Screenshot copied to clipboard." message, with a client config toggle if you want it off

• Dog Music Disc

  • Added music disc with the C418 - Dog track, put it with the other music discs, in the Bits and Balance tab, and added it to the same loot pool as the Cat music disc.

Minor Changes

• Azalea Wood Textures

  • Updated the shared azalea wood, azalea log, and azalea log top

• Returning Potion Immersion

  • Returning Potion now gives 2 seconds of Blindness and Darkness after teleporting you to your last death point

• Stonecutter Depth

  • Dynamic wood pressure plates now give 4 from planks and 16 from logs, wood, or stems in the stonecutter

• Improved Climbing

  • Renamed Improved Climbables / Fast Ladder Slide to Improved Climbing and expanded it to work on all climbable blocks
  • Added configurable faster upward climbing while looking up, matching the existing faster downward climb behavior
  • Fabric: moved chain placement and climb up/down settings into the improvedClimbing tweaks section, with legacy config compatibility
  • NeoForge: moved the feature into tweaks.improvedClimbing and kept old tweaks.improvedClimbables configs working

• Config Organization

  • Fabric: moved the vertical slabs and steps toggles into the building config
  • Fabric: reorganized the tweaks config into mechanics-style top-level sections, with legacy flat-key migration for older configs
  • Fabric: reorganized the recipes config into grouped sections, with legacy flat-key migration for older configs
  • Fabric: reorganized the potions config into per-feature sections, with legacy flat-key migration for older configs
  • NeoForge: moved the vertical slabs and steps toggles into the dedicated building config

Fixes

• Enhanced Slab Behavior

  • Fabric: fixed vanilla double slab outlines so same-type doubles keep the full-block outline unless KneeSlab mode is active
  • Fixed pistons and Create contraptions so moving vertical slabs, steps, quad steps, vertical steps, and quad vertical steps keep their stored slab data
  • Fixed hang-below visual offset under 3/4 and full quad-step bundles so dense step bundles behave like full occupied blocks instead of pulling hanging blocks upward
  • Fixed hanging trapdoors under top slabs so their model, interaction, and hitbox stay lined up
  • Fixed powered levers hanging under top slabs and step-based hang-below anchors so the supported blockspace emits redstone power instead of only the decorative lever below
  • NeoForge: fixed several client-side hit sound, crack, particle, and destroy-preview alignment issues for mixed slabs, vertical slabs, steps, and vertical steps
  • NeoForge: fixed enhanced slab-family block entities being treated as invalid during moving-block and virtual-world rendering

• Placement and Interaction

  • Fixed step and vertical-step same-block targeting so inward-face merges feel more natural and top-face clicks pass through to adjacent placement when they should
  • Fixed slab placement below step and quad-step bundles so underside clicks place the slab in the block below as a top-half slab instead of tucking it into the bundle or dropping it to the floor
  • NeoForge: fixed several step and vertical-step placement edge cases, especially around quadrant selection and merge targeting
  • NeoForge: fixed slab-family interaction issues that could leave client prediction or visual feedback out of sync

• Steps and Vertical Steps

  • Fixed vertical-step crafting orientation so 2 vertical slabs must be stacked vertically to make 4 vertical steps, while 2 side-by-side vertical steps still convert back into 1 vertical slab
  • Fixed vertical-slab plank crafting so it no longer collides with vanilla horizontal slab recipes
  • Fixed slab-family recipe-book duplication by keeping these conversions as special recipes while JEI still provides the visual recipe displays
  • Fixed inconsistent 4x step / vertical-step back-conversion recipes so slab families more reliably recover the right full block
  • Fixed slab-family base-block lookup for cases like Oak Slabs, Stone Brick Slabs, Tuff Brick Slabs, Bamboo Slabs, Quartz Slabs, and Purpur Slabs where name-based lookup could return nothing or the wrong block
  • Restored bamboo mosaic compatibility with the updated step and recovery recipe pipeline

• Dyed Pale Oak and Item Rendering

  • Fixed dyed pale oak fixed-variant registration so re-enabled woodset variants no longer build the wrong block-state graph on startup
  • Fixed dyed pale oak inventory tint lookup for registered variants without explicit tint data on the stack
  • Moved dyed pale oak woodset items into their own creative tab
  • Fabric: fixed dyed pale oak tint rendering for enhanced slab-family items in the GUI and inventory

• Recipes and Datapacks

  • Stopped rewriting dynamic recipe datapacks when nothing changed, cutting down on unnecessary reloads and recipe churn
  • Made dynamic recipe generation input-aware and file-selective so unchanged mod, config, and recipe inputs no longer rewrite thousands of recipe JSONs
  • Moved generated dynamic recipe packs onto cache-backed always-active server-data packs so Fabric and NeoForge now share the same reusable runtime-pack pipeline
  • Fabric: moved generated recipe output out of per-world datapack folders so integrated-server startup can reuse the shared runtime cache
  • Fabric: fixed integrated singleplayer dynamic recipe setup so prebuilt datapacks no longer force an extra reload after startup
  • NeoForge: fixed post-reload recipe-book syncing so players get refreshed dynamic recipes after the final reload
  • Fabric: fixed dyed pale oak woodset recipe sync crashes caused by default recipe-book displays assembling to an empty stack
  • Fixed shared enhanced slab crafting stubs so runtime custom recipes stay shipped and available after resource normalization
  • NeoForge: fixed shared static recipe JSON parsing by converting root recipe ingredients from object form to shorthand string/tag syntax where NeoForge expects it
  • NeoForge: removed legacy shared minecraft:brewing recipe JSONs from NeoForge-loaded root resources and kept NeoForge on the supported potion_mixing path
  • NeoForge: gated shared Create crushing recipes behind neoforge:mod_loaded conditions so they no longer error when Create is missing
  • Removed duplicate white wool recolor overrides that conflicted with Minecraft's built-in wool recolor recipes

• Azalea Recipes

  • NeoForge: fixed several azalea woodset crafting recipes to use 1.21-compatible shorthand ingredient syntax
  • NeoForge: fixed the azalea hanging sign recipe so it accepts the standard chains tag instead of one hard-coded chain item

• Azalea Shelf

  • NeoForge: fixed the azalea shelf missing axe-mineable tag data so it now uses the expected tool classification
  • NeoForge: fixed shared shelf block and item tags not showing up at runtime by normalizing NeoForge resource tag paths from plural tags/blocks and tags/items to the singular 1.21 tags/block and tags/item paths during resource processing

• Bottle o' Cloud

  • Fixed Bottle o' Cloud use results so bottle pickup and placement return the correct transformed held item instead of being overwritten later
  • Fixed Bottle o' Cloud creative-mode use so instabuild players keep the bottle instead of being forced into an empty-bottle swap
  • NeoForge: fixed stale cloud jump and sink state lingering after leaving cloud blocks by registering the missing cleanup path
  • NeoForge: fixed placed cloud brightness so the deferred cloud render respects vanilla-style face shading
