October Release - 1.21.1 Support, Floating Dinosaur Improvements, new Saurophaganax and more! (Patreon)

Hi Everyone,Here is our October release including a version for 26.1, 1.21.1 and 1.12.2! Huge changelog below! Enjoy!

Minecraft 1.21.1 Support

JurassiCraft now officially supports Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge 21.1, alongside Minecraft 26.1.2.

Worlds should not be moved between the Minecraft 1.21.1 and 26.1.2 versions.

New Dinosaur: Saurophaganax

Added Saurophaganax, bringing JurassiCraft to 130 prehistoric animals.

Improved Creature Grounding

Creatures now stand much more naturally on uneven terrain.

Animals properly adjust themselves across hills, slopes, stairs, slabs, snow, farmland, and other uneven blocks.

Individual legs adjust to the ground beneath them instead of leaving feet floating in the air.

Large creatures gently lean with slopes while maintaining a natural posture.

Long-bodied creatures such as Brachiosaurus and other sauropods stay more upright on hills.

Creature movement across uneven terrain is much smoother, with less floating, sinking, bobbing, and delayed adjustment.

Feet behave more naturally around ledges and uneven blocks.

Hatchlings now correctly scale their footing adjustments to their smaller size.

Creatures immediately adjust to their new terrain after being teleported vertically.

Improved Creature Hitboxes

Creature hitboxes now follow their visible body and legs when standing on uneven ground.

You can more reliably hit, interact with, feed, or target the part of the animal you are actually looking at.

Arrows and other projectiles also use the corrected hit areas.

Fixed hitboxes becoming offset while creatures were walking or running.

Fixed creatures visually shifting position when transitioning between walking and standing.

Creature AI Fixes

Creatures that briefly leave the ground while jumping, falling, or stepping off a ledge no longer give up on nearby food, water, mates, or other destinations.

Creature Fixes

Attenborosaurus

Fixed Attenborosaurus appearing with missing textures.

Its proper skin has been restored.

Dilophosaurus

Dilophosaurus can spit venom again.

Venom now properly travels through the air, damages targets, and causes blindness.

Laboratory Fixes

Hoppers beneath Incubators and Cultivators now only remove completed outputs.

Eggs and syringes being actively processed will remain inside the machine instead of being immediately pulled back out.

Hopper automation can now properly collect finished eggs.

Machine screens once again display the machine name and Inventory label.

Configuration

Added a new Foot Grounding setting.

Foot Grounding is enabled by default and controls the new terrain-aware creature positioning.

Server owners can disable it to restore the previous flat creature positioning.

Fixed Foot Grounding and Creatures Break Leaves displaying internal names instead of readable names in the configuration screen.

Fixed a brief visual issue when joining a server with Foot Grounding disabled.

Minecraft 1.12.2

The 1.12.2 version of JurassiCraft 3.0.15 also adds the following features:

Added Saurophaganax with complete assets set and sound library.

Implemented Saurophaganax skeleton with two poses: striding & standing

Added new skeleton poses for the following creatures:

Arsinoitherium: threat & lookout

Daspletosaurus: lookout

Struthiomimus: run & alarmed

Fixed Struthiomimus skeleton head

All other changes listed above apply only to the Minecraft 26.1.2 and 1.21.1 versions.
