🚂 The Pipeline Update!

This release overhauls the project structure with Beet, focusing on modularity and isolation of each module. It also introduces a new version loader that resolves conflicts between multiple versions.

⚠️ BREAKING CHANGES: This new version has a few breaking changes!

Bookshelf is now based on Minecraft 1.21.5.
Each module of Bookshelf is now shipped as a separate datapack for people wanting to use only a single module.
Introduced bundles to better group modules, replacing Bookshelf and Bookshelf Dev datapacks: Bookshelf Runtime, Bookshelf Dev, Bookshelf Prefabs, and Bookshelf Suite.

• ⚠️ #281 - Merged the bs.biome and bs.weather modules into a single bs.environment module.
• 📦 #323 - Introduced bundles to better group modules, replacing Bookshelf and Bookshelf Dev datapacks: Bookshelf Runtime, Bookshelf Dev, Bookshelf Prefabs, and Bookshelf Suite.
• 🎉 #272 - Added an automatically generated bs.load module, removing the need for manual load and unload tags. Bookshelf now also uses LanternLoad.
• ⚡ #285 - Removed the need for __help__ functions and help tags. These are now generated.
• 📝 #285 - Migrated the documentation to mcbookshelf.dev and reworked the contribution guide to explain the new Beet pipeline.
• ⚙️ #285 - Created a GitHub organization and transitioned from the Jupyter Notebook to Beet. Updated the metadata format, added new issue templates, and introduced workflows for automatic deployment to Modrinth and Smithed. Modules now also require a README.md and a pack.png.
• 📥 #333 - Bookshelf now has its own download manager, allowing users to select modules along with their dependencies and create custom bundles.
• 📥 #336 - Bookshelf is now available on PyPI for use with the Beet toolchain.

🧱 bs.block

• ⚡ #349 - Added the on_finished argument to fill operations. If specified, the provided command runs automatically when the operation completes.
• ⚡ #287 - Updated replace_type to return whether a type was found and replaced.

🧱 bs.environment

• 🐛 #320 - Fixed functions that were previously unusable outside the Overworld.

  • Random selection of an element from a list.
• #6 Added the bs.generate module for terrain generation. Currently supports 2D shape algorithms, enabling texture and heightmap-based terrain generation.
• #193 Added the bs.interaction module, which proposes interactions to listen to different players' events: left click, right click, hover (enter, leave and continuous).

✨ Added features

• #222 Added #bs.block:fill_random for filling regions with randomly selected blocks.
• #258 Added #bs.block:emit_block_particle to emit block particles in specific locations.
• #245 Added piercing and callback options to #bs.raycast:run.
• #203 Added #bs.hitbox:is_entity_in_block and #bs.hitbox:is_entity_in_blocks to verify if an entity is within a block.
• #233 Introduced new link management functions:
  • #bs.link:remove_link to remove specific links.
  • #bs.link:as_children, #bs.link:as_parent, #bs.link:at_children, and #bs.link:at_parent to handle parent-child link relationships.
• #171 Added logging functions #bs.log:history and #bs.log:clear_history for viewing and clearing log history.

• (#52, #175) Each module has now its own metadata that should be specified manually. The metadata of the features and modules are used to generate more metadata, including the dependencies. These metadata can be used by bots like the incomming Bookshelf Manager. More information here.

⚙️ Github and CI

• Added a template for pull requests.
• Added templates for issues.
• (#199) The different metadata (the manually specified one and the generated one) are now automatically verified at each commit inside a pull request. This prevents them from being forgotten. More information here.
