DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION, DO NOT START OLD WORLDS WITHOUT A BACKUP
These are the first steps of the new mob API. The game does actually start, but mobs do not work yet.
You will also get some warnings about mob spawners, but don't worry about that.
This is really just some 'first impression' of how the mob API is gonna look like. Some things are already complete, like the agression system.
AI and attacking have not been worked on yet.
mobs_mc and mcl_mobs have actually been merged into one piece but I will probably change that again in the future actually, and split the different mobs into different mods.
There are also a few usefull things like the universal mount API and a more general purpose smoke API, but all of this is still far from complete.
I'll put some work into the API this week but probably not next week, then I'll see but don't expect this to be done before 2022.
I'll work on it, but I'll do it slowly and progressively to not get burned out again and to still have enough time to graduate from school in the meantime.
Group levels are now specified as a list of names when registering a
digging group. Digging groups which do not have specified levels will
support tools having two levels, 0 and 1 where 0 means the tool can dig
but not harvest the node and 1 means it can also harvest the node. If
more levels are required one has to specifiy them when registering the
digging group.
These changes are primarly made to make mcl_autogroup more efficient.
Previously enchanted tools required storing around 21 kB of metadata due
to the way the previous version of the mod was implemented. This caused
a lot of lag and a huge amount of network traffic. With the changes
enchanted tools won't require more than 1 kB of metadata.
The mod is also rewritten to use an API to register digging groups and
compute the groupcaps for tools. This will make it easier for modders
to register custom digging groups.
The mod is now split up into two parts. One part called "mcl_autogroup"
to implement the API for registering custom digging groups, and the
other part called "_mcl_autogroup" which contains most of the code which
has to be loaded after most mods.
