# Captain's Modlist v20 → v21 — Change Summary

**A feature release.** **15 mods added** (a big Create batch, building/decoration
tools, and a few QoL + server-side utilities), **2 resourcepack add-ons**, and
**2 mods removed**. No side-tag changes to existing mods, and **no version bumps**
on any of the 556 carried-over mods — this release is purely adds + removals.

---

## ➕ Added — Create ecosystem
| Mod | Side | What it adds |
|-----|------|--------------|
| **Create: Connected** (`create-connected`) | Both | QoL + connected-content tweaks for Create. |
| **Create: Compatible Storage** (`create-compatible-storage`) | Both | Storage blocks that interoperate with Create logistics. |
| **Create: Factory Controller** (`create-factory-controller`) | Both | Central controller block for managing factory/automation setups. |
| **Create: Deployer API** (`deployer`) | Both | Library exposing Deployer interactions to other mods. |
| **Create: Extra Gauges** (`extra-gauges`) | Both | Additional readout gauges (speed/stress/etc.) for Create contraptions. |

## ➕ Added — Building & decoration
| Mod | Side | What it adds |
|-----|------|--------------|
| **Effortless Building** (`effortless-building`) | Both | Advanced building tool — wall/pattern placement plus a **Randomizer Bag** that places a *random block from a chosen set* for build variety. |
| **Beltborne Lanterns** (`beltborne-lanterns`) | Both | Wearable belt lanterns for light + decoration. |
| **Beltborne Lanterns: Accessories Layer** (`beltborne-lanterns-accessories-layer`) | Both | Accessories-slot integration for the above. |
| **Immersive Weathering: Renewed** (`immersive-weather-renewed`) | Both | Weathered/aged block variants and ambient weather detailing. |
| **Every Compat — Stone Zone** (`stone-zone`) | Both | Auto-generates stone-type variant blocks (walls/stairs/etc.) across installed mods. |

## ➕ Added — Gameplay / QoL
| Mod | Side | What it adds |
|-----|------|--------------|
| **Tax Free Levels** (`tax-free-levels`) | Both | Keeps enchanting/anvil XP costs flat instead of scaling up with your level. |
| **Trade Cycling** (`trade-cycling`) | Both | Lets you re-roll/cycle villager trades. |
| **FA: Player Extension Compat** (`fa-player-extension-compat`) | Client | Compatibility layer for Fresh Animations' Player Extension. |

## ➕ Added — Server-side utilities
| Mod | Side | What it adds |
|-----|------|--------------|
| **WITS — What Is This Structure?** (`wits`) | Server | Identifies which structure the player is standing in (debug/admin aid). |
| **Structure Layout Optimizer** (`structure-layout-optimizer`) | Server | Worldgen performance — speeds up structure placement checks. |

## 🎨 Added — Resourcepack add-ons (shipped as metafiles)
| Pack | Side | What it does |
|------|------|--------------|
| **Eating Animations — More Mod Compatibility** (`eating-animation-more-mod-compatibility`) | Client | Extends Eating Animation coverage to more modded foods. |
| **FA: Player Extension X Better Combat** (`fa-player-extension-x-better-combat`) | Client | Reconciles Fresh Animations Player Extension with Better Combat poses. |

---

## ➖ Removed
| Mod | Side | Why |
|-----|------|-----|
| **Burnt** (`burnt`) | Both | Removed at the maintainer's request. |
| **Aeronautics Claims** (`aeronautics-claims`, jar `aeroclaims-0.9.0`) | Both | Claims/protection add-on for Create: Aeronautics. Removed at the maintainer's request. |

**Player impact:** anything these mods added is no longer in the pack on the next
update. Burnt blocks/items and any Aeronautics Claims protections may render as
missing or lapse in existing worlds — verify what they provided before promoting.

## 🔧 Overrides shipped with this release
- **New config files** for the added mods: `beltborne_lanterns_lamps.json`,
  `bl_accessories_layer.json`, `create_connected-common.toml`,
  `createfactorycontroller-client.toml`, `fape_compat-client.toml`,
  `immersive_weathering-client.toml` / `-common.toml`, `stonezone-common.toml` /
  `-hazardous.toml`, `structure_layout_optimizer.jsonc`, `taxfreelevels.json`,
  `trade_cycling-client.toml`.
- **Edited existing configs:** `everycomp-entries.toml` (new mod entries),
  `fabric/indigo-renderer.properties`, `submarine_hull.json`.
- `defaultconfigs/` and `kubejs/` unchanged.

**Server-admin takeaway:** when updating the server jar, add the `both`/`server`
mods above and **skip** the `client`-only ones (`fa-player-extension-compat` and
both resourcepacks). Remove **Burnt** and **Aeronautics Claims**
(`aeroclaims-0.9.0.jar`). Client-preference configs (Iris, Sodium)
are not hosted, so player video settings are preserved across the update.
