Bits and Balance v1.7.0

Major Additions

• Pale Oak Woodset Dyeing
  • Pale Oak woodset content can be dyed
  • Boats/chest boats: pick-block now returns the correctly dyed item
  • Jade: looking at dyed Pale Oak blocks now shows the correct tint in the Jade HUD
  • Create: splashing can wash dye off Pale Oak items (returns the clean vanilla item)
  • JEI: “Tint” wording updated to “Dye” for the Pale Oak preview

Minor Additions

• Biome-Tinted Foliage Items

  • Grass/foliage items in your hand/inventory now use the current biome's tint (matching how they would look when placed)
  • Kept strictly to vanilla biome-tinted items (grass/fern variants, vine, leaf litter, lily pad, sugar cane, and select leaves)

• Biome Titles

  • Displays a title when entering a new biome
  • Maintains a hidden recent-biomes list (default: 7); re-entering a biome in that list won't re-display the title
  • Biomes entered during an active title are queued (waits for the full transition before showing the next)
  • Supports a configurable ignore list for problematic/transition biomes (default includes river + beach biomes)
  • Fully configurable (enable/disable, timing, scale/position, recent list size, and title vs subtitle slot)

• Soul Fire Screen Overlay

  • When burning from Soul Fire / Soul Campfire, the on-screen fire overlay now uses the blue soul-fire sprites
  • Burning entities now render with blue soul-fire flames (instead of regular fire) when their burn was caused by Soul Fire / Soul Campfire
  • Stays blue for the full burn duration once triggered

• Nerfed Mending

  • Makes Mending require more XP to repair items (default: 4x)

Fabric Bug Fixes

• Item Share Fade / Alpha (3D Block-Items)
  • Fixed shared item icons not respecting chat fade opacity on Fabric
  • Includes true 3D block-item glyphs (no 2D fallback)

NeoForge Bug Fixes

• Disable Nitwits

  • Fixed the disableNitwits config option not taking effect on NeoForge
  • Prevents nitwit villagers from appearing from natural/village worldgen spawns by converting them into unemployed villagers (does not remove existing nitwits)

• Sodium Compatibility

  • Prevented a crash when Sodium is installed by making a NeoForge item-render redirect mixin optional (so it won't hard-fail if Sodium changes the same call site)
