CHANGELOG — Advanced Villager & Building System

Version: v1.1.0
Date: October 24, 2025

This update is a full overhaul with new villager abilities, a player-driven building system, and major code cleanup and fixes.

---

🧱 Added

• Player Building Preview System:

  • Players can create “Foundation Blocks” (e.g., mm:ground_house_placer).
  • Placing a foundation block triggers preview mode.
  • A marker entity (mm:build_marker.json) is spawned to track the state, persisting even after world reloads.
  • The updatePlayerPreviews loop fills the volume above the foundation with preview blocks (mm:green_block_preview or mm:red_block_preview) depending on whether the area is clear (checkAreaClear).
  • Interacting with a foundation block while the preview is green (clear) instantly places the structure using /structure load.
  • Breaking the foundation block cancels the preview and cleans up all preview blocks.

• Villager Gradual Building System:

  • Added build_* intents (e.g., build_house).
  • Villagers now search for the nearest valid, clear foundation block (handleBuildAction).
  • When found, a persistent marker entity (mm:build_marker.json) is spawned.
  • Villagers automatically build structures on the next available foundation block.
  • The system is persistent even if chunks unload or players log off.
  • Upon completion, the foundation block is removed, the villager is freed, and the marker is destroyed.

• New Villager Professions/Actions:

  • farm – harvest crops.
  • gather – collect wood, flowers, and miscellaneous items.
  • fish – catch fish, junk, and treasure.
  • smelt – return smelted ingots, glass, etc.
  • alchemy – gather potion ingredients.
  • craft – create simple crafted items.
  • raid – placeholder; acknowledges command but performs no action.
  • build – villager constructs a structure on the next available foundation block.

• “Come Here” Action (come_here):

  • Added intent come_here; villager teleports near the player.

• Dynamic Structure Configuration:

  • Building actions are now defined in an array (actionDetails.build) with individual foundation blocks, structure names, and sizes.

• Marker Entities:

  • Added mm:build_marker.json to the Behavior Pack to handle persistent state.

• Modular Code Structure:

  • Scripts are divided into multiple files (action-handler.js, conversation.js, entity-manager.js, player-build-preview.js) under modules/ and config/.

---

⚙️ Changed

• Villager Behavior (villager.json):

  • Base health increased to 40.
  • Added minecraft:attack component (damage: 6).
  • Villagers now engage in combat autonomously.
  • Added minecraft:equippable for tools/weapons.
  • Inventory now open (private: false, type inventory).
  • Can pick up any item (can_pickup_any_item: true).
  • Can swim (avoid_water: false).
  • Vanilla profession logic preserved.

• Preview Blocks (mm:green_block_preview, mm:red_block_preview):

  • Non-solid (collision_box: false).
  • Indestructible in survival.
  • Explosion-resistant.
  • Render method blend for transparency.

• Explore Action:

  • Now locates structures with /locate structure and reports coordinates instead of random loot.

• Translation System:

  • Removed JS translator module.
  • Uses Minecraft’s native translation system (player.sendMessage({ translate: "key" })).

• Villager Build Action:

  • Changed from instant /structure load to the new gradual marker-based system.

• Player Build Action:

  • Fills the entire structure volume with preview blocks instead of swapping block colors.
  • Foundation block is removed after successful construction.

---

🧩 Fixed

• Villager conversation context in multiplayer (responses to wrong player fixed).
• Corrected isValid usage (removed ()).
• Equipment errors fixed via equippable component.
• Behavior Pack schema errors corrected (dynamic_properties, format_version).
• JS API errors related to removed classes (BlockLocation, Vector, etc.) fixed.
• Player preview blocks now clean correctly after reconnecting.
• Foundation block removed properly after construction.
• Intent name inconsistencies (hunt vs caçar) corrected.
• Excess debug logging in checkAreaClear removed.

---

🗑️ Removed

• translator.js and lang/*.js files.
• Duplicate/conflicting JSON definitions replaced.
• Redundant blocks.json moved to Behavior Pack (material_instances).
• Deprecated APIs (BlockLocation, Vector, etc.).
• Temporary activePlayerPreviews map replaced by persistent marker entities.
