• #277 Defeated trainers won't be immediately removed from a players spawn cap anymore but after a short period of time instead
• #276 Improved language support
  • The title and description of series, the name of trainer types as well as dialogs now alternatively accept a json object with a translatable and/or literal field as value (setting directly a string is equivalent to defining a object with a literal field having that string). Support for the name of trainers will be added at a later point in time
  • Updated/Added en_us language keys for most content from this mod
• #275 New signatureItem property for trainers: Formerly known as trainerSpawnerItems these are now configured per trainer mob (data pack object), yet they still serve the same purpose (items to configure a Trainer Spawner). Updated current trainers to match the previous default configuration and defined signature items for all required trainers from the bdsp and unbound series as well as the ev trainers (friendly coaches)
• #274 Overhauled some features of the Trainer Spawner block
  • Added TrainerIds block entity tag: Now also supports trainers that do not have any signature items configured (e.g. it is now possible to generate Trainer Spawners with arbitrary lists of trainer ids)
  • Added block state property lootable (default is true): Set to false to prevent signature items from getting dropped
  • Can now be configured with multiple items at the same time
  • Fixed some issues with trainers not properly occupying trainer spawners: A spawner may not spawn another trainer if it is already occupied

  • The block now also drops all signature items for the configured trainers when destroyed
  • Trainers that occupy a trainer spawner have a slight chance to switch to another non-occupied trainer spawner - with the correct signature item - in their vicinity (they did this already but somewhat uncontrolled, this should be fixed now)
• #273 Trainer cooldowns and defeat count restrictions: Trainers can now be battled indefinetely until beaten but their cooldowns will grow larger when losing frequently in a short time span against them
• #272 Trainer mobs (data pack object) maxTrainerWins and maxTrainerDefeats may now accept negative values to represent infinity (updated all trainers from this mod accordingly)

Fixed:

• #271 Some issues with the rendering of Trainer Spawner items when multiple spawners are in view
• #270 Trainer Association GUI not opening with the 'Infinite Trading' mod installed (and potentially some other issues related to that)
• #269 Trainer battles getting softlocked at the start if the trainer happened to became attached to a different entity in an unloaded chunk

Removed:

• #268 Config option trainerSpawnerItems (see also #275)

Changelog

Important: Version 0.14 introduces the series system. Existing player saves will automatically be assigned to the radicalred series. New players will start with the empty series and have to pick a series first (see also #233 Trainer Association).

[0.14.3-beta] - 2025-03-29

Changed:

• #267 Updated min dependency of rctapi to 0.10.15-beta

Fixed:

• #266 Custom data packs not getting synchronized to clients (a potential cause for various issues in server environments, providing wrong or misleading information to clients)
  • Added Trainer Card loading indicator
  • Synchronization takes place on player log in or after /reload

Changelog

Important: Version 0.14 introduces the series system. Existing player saves will automatically be assigned to the radicalred series. New players will start with the empty series and have to pick a series first (see also #233 Trainer Association).

[0.14.2-beta] - 2025-03-26

Added:

• #265 Special bulk selectors /all, /types/<typeId> and /series/<seriesId> for set defeats command

Changed:

• #264 Empty series id in set series command: ... -> empty
• #263 Reworked how player battle statistics are stored
  • Important: Migrating persistent data can always be a little bit scary, the automatic migration process is logged and ensures that old data will only be removed after the new data was saved. Regardless creating a backup of the data directory can be an additional safety measure
  • Defeat statistics are now batched in groups per file (instead of one file per trainer)
  • This significantly improves loading times (especially for servers with many players and overall greater amounts of defeats against trainers)
• #262 Trainer Card UI will now open while holding another item in the off hand - if the Trainer Card is in the off hand the UI will only open if the item in the main hand is not in use - blocking with a shield will always prevent the UI from opening

Fixed:

• #261 Clients sometimes being unable to join servers - invalid stream header (note: it was difficult to reliably reproduce this issue but I did not run it anymore in any of my tests after this fix, thanks to AGGStudios for helping out testing this)
• #260 Level cap sometimes not updating to 100 in the Trainer Card (without relog) after series completion
• #259 Series completion message not shown to players that have relogged once after the latest server (re)start
• #258 Trainer Card including defeat counts of (unlisted) trainers from other series

Changelog

Important: Version 0.14 introduces the series system. Existing player saves will automatically be assigned to the radicalred series. New players will start with the empty series and have to pick a series first (see also #233 Trainer Association).

Changed:

• #257 unbound series will now be unlocked by completing either bdsp or radicalred

Fixed:

• #256 Level cap not getting set to 100 after completing a series (without defeating all optional trainers as well)
• #255 additiveLevelCapRequirement setting having no effect for trainers other than the first of a series

Changelog

Important: Version 0.14 introduces the series system. Existing player saves will automatically be assigned to the radicalred series. New players will start with the empty series and have to unlock later series first by completing the bdsp series (see also #233 Trainer Association).

Added:

• #254 Luck stat
  • Every player has a luck stat that influences the quality of loot from trainers

• #236 Adjusted some trainer bag items to match their level range
• #235 Changed some trainer names to be more friendly for the younger audience

Changelog

Important: The level_cap is not a value anymore that can be set per player but is rather derived from the current state of progress of that player. Because of the changes to the progression it is possible that when updating from an older version the level caps of players will be different (most likely lower)! Apart from that the progress of players should adapt to the changes but as a general advice always make backups before updating mods.

[0.13.16-beta] - 2025-01-30

Changed:

• #221 Adjusted comments format in config files

Fixed:

• #220 Scrambled names in trainer card only being 3 characters long
• #219 Trainers responding with "I'm done" instead of complaining about players cayrrying pokemon above their level cap (if allowOverleveling was enabled)

[0.13.15-beta] - 2025-01-22

Fixed:

• #218 Crashes caused by potential attempts to access config values before they are (re)loaded
