Needs action on an existing world:

  • [check your build] #37 Lava now pushes players and mobs sideways the way flowing water does, and dropped items float to the top of water and lava instead of sinking. A current also carries items about four times faster than before. How hard a liquid pushes depends on how full the block is: a source block pushes at full strength, the thin edge of a flow at 0.4 of that.
    Check your builds that move items on water or lava. Items that used to sink and sit on the bottom ride on the surface instead, and they travel faster, so a water stream feeding a hopper, an item elevator or a lava trash pit can overshoot or drop its load somewhere else. Check your lava builds too: lava drags players and mobs along now, which it did not do before. Two switches in config/etfuturum/mixins.cfg put it back: liquidItemFloat turns off the floating on its own, and adjustedLiquidPhysics turns off the lava push, the faster items and the scaling by how full the block is. Turn off both for exactly the old behaviour.

  • #57 Updated dependencies.gradle to reference Baubles Expanded dependency in place of the superseded Baubles mod. - @UltraProdigy

    • Removed: Redundant observer notification calls
  • #37 Added mixins for BlockLiquid, Entity, EntityItem and World. changeEntitySpeedByFluidLevel scales the horizontal push from 1.0 in a source block down to 0.4 at flow level 7. MixinWorld multiplies the 0.014 acceleration constant by 4 for EntityItem. MixinEntityItem floats an item only while its downward motion is above -0.15 and its horizontal motion below 0.015. The old floatLava redirect in uninflammableitem was removed, so fireproof items float by the same path. - @MalTeeez
    • Added: Modern liquid physics behavior, Entity motion in lava, Item floatation mechanics, Liquid level-based physics adjustment
    • Removed: Old uninflammableitem mixin logic from EntityItem
    • Migration: Check your builds that move items on water or lava. Items that used to sink and sit on the bottom ride on the surface instead, and they travel faster, so a water stream feeding a hopper, an item elevator or a lava trash pit can overshoot or drop its load somewhere else. Check your lava builds too: lava drags players and mobs along now, which it did not do before. Two switches in config/etfuturum/mixins.cfg put it back: liquidItemFloat turns off the floating on its own, and adjustedLiquidPhysics turns off the lava push, the faster items and the scaling by how full the block is. Turn off both for exactly the old behaviour.
