RealisticSeasons

- Big Feature: Temperature Mechanics Engine! Dynamic heat/cold effects based on seasons and light sources. - Bug Fixes: Resolved NPEs on disconnects during ticks.

RealisticSeasons 1.1.0

Seasonal Planning Upgrade

- Added /seasons calendar [world] with a 4-season look-ahead, transition timers, and quick gameplay hints for every upcoming season. - Players can now plan farming, travel, and event timing around the full seasonal cycle instead of guessing from the current weather.

Persistent Temperature Preferences

- Added /seasons temp scale <celsius|fahrenheit|server>. - Temperature scale preference is now saved per player and survives restarts. - Temperature action-bar visibility is now also saved, so players keep their preferred HUD state.

Better Daily Gameplay Readouts

- Improved /seasons info with cycle timing, next-transition timing, and local temperature context. - Improved /seasons forecast with viewer-aware spawn temperature formatting.

Stability + Internal Cleanup

- Rebuilt the project source cleanly from the shipped release and fixed command, weather-lock, crop, and build issues that came from the older packaged source state. - Synced plugin metadata so the packaged jar version matches the published release.

RealisticSeasons 1.0.18

Weather Control

- Added /seasons admin weather lock <clear|storm|seasonal> and /seasons admin weather unlock. - Admins can now force stable clear skies, force storm weather, or force the world back into seasonal weather mode.

Better Weather Diagnostics

- /seasons admin weather status now reports lock state and remaining lock time. - Forecast output now includes a weather-pattern summary and spawn temperature hint.

Temperature Simulation

- Added shelter-aware temperature logic with roof insulation, cave insulation, storm cold penalties, and sun exposure heat bonuses. - Fixed broken encoded temperature text in /seasons temp now.

RealisticSeasons 1.0.17

Weather Stability

- Added weather.maxStormMinutes failsafe to prevent long continuous storm periods. - Added storm runtime tracking per world and automatic forced clear when limit is exceeded.

New Admin Recovery Command

- Added /seasons admin weather reset [world] to reset weather runtime state and re-sync weather immediately.

Better Weather Diagnostics

- Expanded /seasons admin weather status with: - current storm elapsed time - max storm failsafe duration - direct reset tip

Internal Reliability

- Improved weather cache cleanup by pruning storm-start timestamps with other runtime weather maps.

RealisticSeasons 1.0.16

- Added /seasons temp now command for instant local temperature diagnostics in chat. - New readout includes world, biome, current temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, plus extreme-weather status hint. - Improved temperature command UX by extending /seasons temp subcommands and tab completion (toggle, now).

RealisticSeasons 1.0.15

- Added storm cooldown protection with new weather.minClearMinutesBetweenStorms setting to reduce back-to-back rain cycles. - Added /seasons admin weather sync [world] to force immediate season-based weather recalculation on one world or all enabled worlds. - Expanded /seasons admin weather status with storm cooldown data and clearer runtime diagnostics. - Improved weather cache hygiene by tracking and pruning per-world storm-end timestamps.

RealisticSeasons 1.0.14

- Fixed winter indoor crop detection logic: crops no longer qualify as "indoors" from light alone when crops.indoorSkyViewBlockedBonus is enabled. - Added config validation/default for crops.indoorSkyViewBlockedBonus to keep behavior consistent across fresh and upgraded installs. - Added richer /seasons admin weather status diagnostics: weather system enabled state, consecutive storm counter, next weather update countdown, and forced-clear countdown. - Improved long-uptime stability by pruning offline player entries from the temperature display toggle cache.

RealisticSeasons 1.0.13

- Fixed Modrinth update notifier links to use slug/version-number format for reliable direct download pages. - Removed fragile version-ID URL usage and added robust fallback to the versions page. - Maintenance release focused on update-checker stability across server joins.

RealisticSeasons 1.0.12

- Fixed Modrinth update URL generation to use stable version-number links (/version/<version_number>) instead of unstable IDs. - Added URL-safe encoding for version strings in update notifications. - Added safer fallback update link to the project versions page when latest version is unavailable.

RealisticSeasons 1.0.11

- Maintenance synchronization release for unified plugin versioning across the suite. - Kept OP/admin update notification flow and direct Modrinth link policy aligned for this release line. - No gameplay or balance changes in this release; maintenance update only.

RealisticSeasons 1.0.10

- Fixed weather refresh edge-case where previous storm-streak state could force an unexpected clear period after admin-triggered refresh. - refreshWeatherNow now resets per-world storm streak cleanly before applying newly calculated weather. - Makes manual weather refresh deterministic right after season/config changes.

RealisticSeasons 1.0.9

- Fixed weather reload behavior to apply instantly after /seasons admin reload by forcing an immediate per-world weather refresh. - Improved runtime efficiency: temperature tasks are no longer scheduled when temperatureEnabled is false. - Improved runtime efficiency: visual effect tasks are no longer scheduled when visualEffectsEnabled is false. - Includes previous 1.0.8 weather stability fixes.

RealisticSeasons 1.0.7

- Compatibility refresh release for broader Modrinth version targeting (1.20 to 1.21.11). - Standardized loader coverage across Bukkit/Folia/Paper/Purpur/Spigot. - No gameplay or balance changes; maintenance release.

RealisticSeasons 1.0.6

- Fixed /seasons forecast winter precipitation estimates to match the same biome-sampling logic used by the live weather system. - Improved forecast accuracy in populated worlds by blending cold/warm winter precipitation chances from online player locations instead of relying only on world spawn temperature. - Added safer biome temperature checks in forecast calculations to avoid edge-case location lookup errors.

1.0.5 - 2026-02-19

- Fixed weather lock/rain streak behavior by adding storm-streak protection with automatic forced clear periods. - Fixed winter precipitation sampling so chance now uses online player biome locations instead of only world spawn biome. - Added admin weather controls: - /seasons admin weather clear [world] [minutes] - /seasons admin weather status [world] - Added new weather config options: - weather.maxConsecutiveStorms - weather.forceClearMinutesAfterMaxStorms - weather.stormContinuationMultiplier - weather.usePlayerBiomeSampling - weather.adminClearMinutes
