The StitchTown journal

Yellow Duck

• Reduces mesh-update stutter during growth while preserving appearance, growth and combat rules. Tested in a single-duck comparison with Complementary Reimagined r5.9.3; performance varies with hardware, resolution, view distance and scene.

Queen Bee

• Fixes multi-hive recall and entrance selection, and improves large-colony processing.
• Prevents bee entity-cramming deaths. Bees pass through each other during departure/attack; normal pushing returns when both stop attacking. Other damage, solid blocks and post-sting death remain.
• Fixes Flashback crashes when following a transformed bee player, preserving the queen appearance.

Queen Bee

• Select your own badge in any hotbar slot and right-click to enable abilities. Press V, then left-click your own nest to enter, even while holding the badge.
• No fixed slot is required. Switching items or storing the badge preserves activation. J toggles hints for the active chapter. Inside a hive, disabling, switching chapters and returning to human form are blocked; exit the hive first.
• Right-click no longer enters the hive. Empty-hand or non-badge right-click on a vanilla natural bee nest (BEE_NEST) still discovers the guide; Shift-right-click upgrades remain unchanged.

Ocean Walker

• G triggers immediate 100-block sonar: 1-second expansion, 3-second hold and 3-second fade; no long press.
• Effective sprint-swimming recruits one companion every 2.6 seconds. LV4 breaches with one companion reach 20 blocks high and up to 50 forward.
• LV5 uses automatic underwater momentum contact rams, not R. Adds feeding and sonar sounds.

Queen Bee

• Supports Traditional Chinese and English in-game text.
• Long dialogues are paginated, and Scent text scales for smaller windows.
• V transformation, J quest display and G / R / H skill controls are unchanged; quest progress is retained.
• Queen Bee clients and servers must use the same version; update them together.

Wolf King

• Supports Traditional Chinese and English in-game text.
• Long dialogues are paginated, and Scent text scales for smaller windows.
• V transformation, J quest display and G / R / H skill controls are unchanged; quest progress is retained.

Queen Bee

• Transform / Return to Human (default V): the badge in hotbar slot one selects wolf or bee form; press again to return to human form. Exit the hive before returning to human form.
• V is “Transform / Return to Human” and J toggles the shared quest HUD; both select the chapter from your own badge in hotbar slot one. Wolf skills use G for Scent, R for Pounce and H for Call Wolves. Both mods share transformation and quest-display bindings; separate Bee B / K controls are retired. This upgrade resets these mod keys to their correct defaults once. Later custom bindings save normally, and quest progress is unchanged.
• If both Wolf King and Queen Bee are installed, update both to these versions and keep only one JAR per mod.

Queen Bee

• Adds Minecraft 26.3 compatibility. Keep the 26.2 game directory and its backups separate.
• Flashback 0.43.5: English recording, replay, seeking, reload and PNG export are supported. Its Traditional Chinese interface has a known font initialization issue; normal Traditional Chinese gameplay is unaffected by this recording-tool limitation.

Queen Bee

Ice King

• Charged attacks reach 12 blocks and display insufficient cold/energy. Ice explosions restore safe thin-snow placement and short snowfall.

Fire King

• Sword and spear use warm metal edges, dark grips and enclosed flowing magma. Water contact shows white vapor and bubbles without buoyancy.

StitchTown v1.0.0 · Map and den apron revision 2

• The initial map repairs 222 terrain cells, including the final four, and removes the specified initial surface witch.
• The den apron ward expands to X80–109, Y72–112, Z21–38.
• Existing worlds receive mod protection only, without automatic terrain filling or witch removal.
• Retains r9 gameplay and existing recording appearance / capture HUD. Gameplay revision remains 9.

Existing-player update · r9 moonlight and pack tactics

• Innate Wolf Soft Moonlight retains natural colors and shadows.
• Each designated Pounce practice zombie needs two normal Pounces and your own lethal Pounce. Individual completion is saved.
• Pack wolves spread and alternate attacks with a 1.4x approach, retreat and handoff tempo. Accepted attacks on the Wolf-form leader retarget the attacker or arrow shooter. Actual hit frequency varies with terrain and pathing.
• Includes partial deposits, mentor coordinate prompts, local ecology and bone-drop updates. Keep your existing world; never overwrite saves.

Existing-player update · r5.1 appearance fix

• The ability slot retains its native dark border and selection outline. A translucent purple tint preserves the original background texture and noise.
• Appearance-only change: world update revision remains 5. Badge activation, death and all other gameplay rules are unchanged.
• Replace the old mod JAR, keeping Fabric API and your existing world. Choose either the standalone mod or update ZIP.

Existing-player update · revision 5

• Completing Walk with Wolves awards the Wolf Clan Badge. Eligible existing players receive one when inventory space is available.
• Place the badge directly in the purple (#9c478b) first hotbar slot to use V transformation, G scent, R pounce and H howl. Each ability still requires its quest unlock.
• A badge stored inside a bundle is inactive. Unequipping it stops effects and safely returns you to human form without resetting cooldowns or progress.
• Only the badge is retained on death; bundles and ordinary items follow normal death drops. The badge cannot be dropped or stored in external containers.
• Includes r2/r3/r4 fixes. Replace only the mod; preserve your world and Fabric API.

Existing-player update · revision 4

• Removes fences and gates from retired supply points, restores grass inside and preserves animals. Cleanup runs when you enter and load the area.
• Unexpected alterations, water or attached blocks cause cleanup to be deferred, preserving the scene instead of overwriting it.
• The three-block perimeter around the Wolf Den is protected: X34..95, Y72..112, Z-26..23. Gathering remains available outside this area.
• Includes r2 four-waypoint tracking, saved progress and disabled supplies, plus r3 post-victory scene cleanup and the completed-player respawn checkpoint overriding beds and anchors.
• Replace only the mod and keep your world; r3 to r4, reopening and backup recovery passed checks.

Existing-player update · revision 3

• After victory, the waiting Wolf King and three guardians no longer respawn. Recruited following wolves are unaffected.
• After completing all five stages, death returns you to the former Wolf King position (128,97,-2), overriding beds and respawn anchors. This also applies to previously completed saves; unfinished players retain their spawn behavior.
• Includes r2 fixes for all four tracking waypoints, saved waypoint progress and removal of quest supplies.
• r2 to r3 updates, reopening and backup recovery passed checks while preserving the existing world and player progress.

Existing-player update · revision 2

• Tracking requires wolf form, a valid original home mark and all four waypoints. Progress persists across world reopening.
• Players still tracking after updating keep their home mark but must complete unsaved waypoints. Completed and material hand-in stages do not roll back.
• Removed all quest supplies, stone swords, cooked food and bone-chest refills. Gather materials yourself; existing inventory is retained.
• r1 to r2 waypoint persistence, reopening, completion and backup recovery passed checks; keep your existing world and progress.

Existing-player update · revision 1

• Adds persistent world-data backups, update history, progress preservation and recovery tools.
• Existing-world updates, reopening and recovery passed local checks. This release does not add a chapter.
• New terrain and complex scenes still require dedicated adaptation.

r9 released: moonlight and pack tactics

Soft Moonlight retains natural colors and shadows. Pounce practice requires your own final blow on each zombie and saves individual progress.
