  • Added a "hot key" tool bar, and removed the sprites on the bottom right of the screen:
    • The toolbar is now click-able rather than being just hot keys.

    • You can now view, and modify, 18 boxes at once.

    • Press TAB to enter this screen, or use the button in the tool bar.
    • Press TAB a second time to exit, or use the button in the tool bar again.
    • If you're holding a Pokemon and press TAB then you will still be holding that Pokemon (or multiple Pokemon) in the multi-select mode, allowing you to quickly move them from one box to another one.
    • If you use the arrow keys you can move around the boxes on the screen.
    • If you hold control and use the arrow keys you can move along 18 boxes.
  • Added multi-select mode:
    • This mode allows you to pick up multiple Pokemon at a time by selecting an area in the box.
    • You can enter this by pressing the Q key, or using the button on the hot bar.
    • Pressing the Q key a second time will put you in held item mode.
    • Finally, pressing the Q key a third time will return you to standard interaction mode in the PC.
    • If you click and then drag you will select all the Pokemon in the area you create.
    • If you hold control and then click Pokemon it will select the individual pokemon you select.
    • Pressing control + a will select the whole box

  • Added an "Advanced Search" menu:
    • You can access this screen by pressing the S key, or using the search button on the hot bar, and then pressing the search button to the right of the search box.
    • This mode gives you some verbose filter options
  • Added a "sort box" option:
    • This is not bound to a key by default but is accessible via the hotbar.

• Added first person POV in battles:
  • Pressing "F1" during battle will toggle the visibility of the battle UI.
    • The toggleBattleUserInterface key cycles between 50% transparency of the background, 100% transparency of the background, showing only the HP of the Pokemon, and completely hiding the battle UI.
  • Pressing "F5" during battle will toggle the battle perspective.
    • The toggleBattlePerspective key cycles between the 3rd person Battle Camera POV, 1st person Player Model's POV, and the 1st person POV of the Player's Pokemon.
      • The POV state is remembered after battles, so you can stay in 1st Person mode without having to keep re-enabling it.
  • Pressing "R" allows the player to move freely outside of the battle while the Pokemon stay in the battle.
    • Attempting to retrieve the Pokemon that is in the battle will re-enter the player into the battle.
    • The player can send out other Pokemon, but they can't start another battle.
    • If the player gets beyond a maximum distance from the battle, the battle will end. The player and any teammates will be designated as having forfeited.
      • The default value is 30 blocks and can be set in the config with the max-distance-players-can-move-away-from-battles value.
      • 10 blocks before the player reaches that point, a message will pop up on the hotbar warning the player and a vignette will appear that fades the player's screen deeper into orange.
        • This setting can be edited in the config via the min-distance-before-warning-vignette value.
  • Battles now have a Battle Rule that can deny allowing players to move about freely during a battle.
    • An On/Off button has been added to the Battle Rules menu to adjust this.

Developer:

• Added PokemonStorage#open.
  • This hides the track, and initialize, calls to simplify opening another player's PC.
  • This will also retrieve all the Pokemon from the world for the player's party.
  • This also means you don't need NetworkHelper calls in code anymore, or the OpenScreenPacket.
• Added PokemonStorage#encode and PokemonStorage#decode.
  • Used for sending the storage to the client.
• Added PlayerCloseStorageEvent.
  • This is called when the player closes a Storage UI on the client.
• Added PlayerPartyStorage#getOpenStorage and PlayerPartyStorage#setOpenStorage.
  • This dictates what storage the packets, sent by the player to the server, will interact with.
• Removed PokemonStorage#getFile.
  • This made no sense in this abstract class as it is possible to implement a storage adapter type for non-flatfile storage.
  • I have added an interface FlatFileStorageSaveAdapter which has a function to convert the PokemonStorage to a File in the same way.
  • Subsequently the methods to calculate the File location of a Storage are now found in NBTStorageSaveAdapter.
• Removed public access to PokemonStorage#uuid.
  • Changed to a getter PokemonStorage#getUniqueId.
• Added StorageType registry and changed ClientStorageManager#storedPCs.
  • The storage type contains data on how to construct the storage type from a UUID.
  • This allows us to store more than just PCs in the client cache allowing for other types of UIs (such as a party view).
  • The StorageType is not server side-mod capable as it is also required on the client.
  • There is a getter for this in the Storage class which is PokemonStorage#getStorageType returning a ResourceLocation representing the key of the type in the registry.
• Refactored the ClientInitializePCPacket to ClientInitializeStoragePacket.
  • This is inline with the above mentioned changed for StorageType allowing us to initialize any storage from the server to the client's cache.
• Added PokemonStorage#initialize.
  • This sends the above packet, and means you don't have to make messy NetworkHelper calls anywhere anymore.
• Removed StorageProxy#initializePCForPlayer and StorageManager#initializePCForPlayer.
  • Both of the above have been replaced with the PokemonStorage#initialize method and are abstract from PCs specifically.
• Changed PokemonStorage#shouldSendUpdates to be protected and added getters/setters for it.
• Removed PokemonStorage#notifyListener.
  • It appears this was initially intended as a refactor for PokemonStorage#notifyListeners to keep that function clean. Except it appears that it was mistaken and was used erroneously in a bunch of places.
  • You should now only use PokemonStorage#notifyListeners.
• Removed unused function PokemonStorage#doWithoutSendingUpdates.
• Removed unused function PokemonStorage#retrieveAll.
  • This only makes sense on the PartyStorage specifically and was lazily being used on the abstract level.
• Added StorageProxy#invalidateCache and StorageManager#invalidateCache for removing a PokemonStorage from the cached storages.
  • This is useful if you wish to:
    • Force a reload of an online player's file.
    • Remove the cached value of an offline player's storage.
• Added PokemonStorage#track, PokemonStorage#untrack, PokemonStorage#isTracking, and PokemonStorage#trackingPlayers.
  • These functions add the player given to the list of players tracking the storage's changes.
  • This allows multiple people to view, and edit, a storage simultaneously inline with Minecraft's chests/containers.
  • It is important to untrack the storage if you do not wish for the client to continue receiving updates after they are done with a PC that is not their own.
• Added IStatStore#canSet.
• Updated the default value of the No Crits battle rule to false/not present.
• Updated new packets to add the ability of opening other player's PCs.
• Added IStatStore#reset.
• Registered all permissions through Forge.
• Added PlayerHelper#registerPermission to bypass the unnecessary GatherPermissionsEvent.
• BREAKING CHANGE: Deprecated HyperDrill move effect, which no longer works. Use "bypass" move flag instead.
• Added EffectBase#canHitMultipleTargets to support moves that are conditionally single or multi-target.
• Added ProtectVariation#canBeRemoved to allow new Protect variants to resist Feint.
• Added ProtectVariation#protectVariationBlocksAttack to allow new Protect variations to filter what they block.
• Added ProtectVariation#applyProtectionEffect to allow new Protect variations to add an effect when blocking attacks.
• Added “bypass” move flag, for moves that cannot be stopped by Protect while targeting that Pokémon.
• Added “field” move flag, for moves that change the field without targeting the Pokémon on it.
• Added constructor to OreColor sub-class so Configurate can construct it.
