General[]
- Attribute system
- Started to move over various things to a new attribute system:
- Item attributes using NBT tags:
- Attributes can be additive, subtractive and multiplicative using a set value.
- Some items have default modifiers in place of previously hard-coded attributes.
- Examples of possible changes players could make: A bow that slows the holder, a helm that buffs health, etc.
- Entity attributes:
- These properties can now be changed as easily as any other NBT attribute.
- Entity speed, base health, base attack.
- Other properties like weapon damage/bow draw speed/sword swing speed are yet to follow.
- Item attributes using NBT tags:
- Internal chat system
- Lots of messages should be translated now that were not previously.
- Messages are now better modularized.
- Server messages can be sent by their code-defined name, allowing the client to utilize the correct translation according to their language settings.
- Color can be specifically designated, preventing leakage into further messages.

Tools[]
