v1.0.6

Updated StreamCraft to v0.8.25.

v1.0.5 — Multi-platform builds + StreamCraft 0.7.26

First TBA release with platform-specific builds. Mac and Linux players now have working webcam, screen share, and voice in-game — previously these were Windows-only because StreamCraft's LiveKit/FFmpeg natives only shipped for Windows.

Pick the file for your OS

The Modrinth App's Install button defaults to the Windows file. On Mac or Linux, pick your variant from the file list — using the wrong one means StreamCraft won't load (you'll see "failed to load native library" errors and no voice/video). Or grab the right one automatically at https://theblock.academy/downloads.

What changed since 1.0.3

Updated

• StreamCraft 0.6.2 → 0.7.26 — adds platform-specific native bundles (LiveKit FFI, JNA, JavaCV/FFmpeg). This is what unlocks the Mac/Linux experience.

Fixed

• Distant Horizons update prompt — suppressed the "New update available! 2.4.5-b → 3.0.2-b" popup on first launch. DH is pinned to 2.4.5-b deliberately; 3.0.x breaks server-side mixins (Travelers Backpack LanguageMixin crash, see v1.0.3 incident notes).

Notes

• Mod count: 195 (unchanged from 1.0.3).
• v1.0.4 was published with the multi-platform changes but missed the DH popup fix — v1.0.5 supersedes it.

TBA v1.0.3 — 🎉 Out of beta

After 100+ patches on the Fabric 1.21.1 build, TBA drops the 0.9 prefix. No breaking changes vs 0.9.100 — this release bundles the 1.0 milestone with one new mod and one upstream update.

Added

• ShapeCraft 0.4.18 — Natural language block generation. Describe a custom block via /shapecraft <description> and ShapeCraft generates a valid block model, picks textures, and injects it as a placeable block in real time. Fresh feature for the community — try it out!

Updated

• StreamCraft Live 0.5.1 → 0.6.2 — Fixes missing HUD overlays (LIVE indicator, viewer-name list, self-view preview) and the held-item tooltip showing a raw translation key instead of "StreamCraft Block". Also adds upstream MC 26 support (no-op on 1.21.1).

Notes

• Mod count: 195 total (+1 ShapeCraft vs 0.9.100)
• Minecraft 1.21.1, Fabric Loader 0.18.3+, Java 21 required

v0.9.100 now ships with StreamCraft v0.5.1:

New: Multi-Version Support

• StreamCraft now supports both Minecraft 1.21.1 and 1.20.1
• Download the JAR matching your Minecraft version

Improved: Display Block Opacity

• Display Blocks now render at true 100% opacity — no more world geometry bleeding through the screen
• Fixed depth buffer state management so the screen quad fully occludes background blocks

Improved: Sticky Display Block Settings

• Display Block settings (size, brightness, opacity, rotation, pitch, projection, offset) now persist across disconnects and chunk reloads
• Configuring one Display Block sets the defaults for all future blocks you place
• Streams auto-rebind on reconnect — if a streamer disconnects and comes back, bound Display Blocks automatically pick up the stream again

Bug Fixes

• Fixed macOS crash when opening the StreamCraft menu (Windows-only capture code is now properly gated)
• Capture buttons show a clear message on non-Windows platforms; receiving streams still works cross-platform
