Changes:

• Reworked the PC display:
  • Removed the "release bin": - To release Pokemon from your PC you now right-click it and press the "release" button.
  • 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. - The toolbar will also tell you the hot key when you hover over it.
  • Added multi-box view mode: - You can now view, and modify, 18 boxes at once. - Right-clicking a box picks it up, allowing for quick swapping of boxes. - 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 held item mode: - This mode allows you to quickly and easily move held items between Pokemon. - You can enter this by pressing the Q key twice, or using the button on the hotbar. - You exit this mode by pressing the Q key again. - Shift clicking a Pokemon wit a held item adds the item to inventory, if possible.
  • 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. - This allows you to sort the current box you're looking at by two types (expandable via sidemod) . - Dex - Shiny
  • Added the ability to undo operations in the PC: - You do this using the key bind: control + z.
  • Added the ability to re-do operations in the PC: - You do this using the key bind: control + y.
  • Added two panels displaying information about the Pokemon you're currently holding your mouse over: - The left display shows: - Species - PokéBall - Sprite - Form - Palette - Moves - Type Icon(s) - Held Item Sprite - The right display shows: - A stat hexagon with the EVs - A stat hexagon with the IVs - The IV numbers - Ability - Nature - Growth - Ribbons
  • Added key bind: a to go to the previous page.
  • Added key bind: d to go to the next page.
  • Added key bind: control + tab to alternate between boxes.
  • Added pc_sorting_logic_type registry for adding custom sorting type logic.
  • Allows you to open other player's PCs using /pc.
  • Allows offline PC access via /pc.
  • Updated the PC command to allow opening other player's PCs.
  • Updated the PC command to allow opening offline player's PCs.
• 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.
  • There are also 4 config options in the Battle Config to allow/deny players this: - players-can-move-during-pv-p-battles for battles with at least 1 player on each team (defaults to true) - players-can-move-during-wild-battles for battle with at least 1 Wild Pokemon on a team (defaults to true) - players-can-move-during-trainer-battles for battle with at least 1 NPC Trainer on a team (defaults to true) - players-can-move-during-raid-battles for Max Raid Den battles (defaults to false)
  • The buttons to activate the above features have been added as key binds to Minecraft's Controls->Key Binds menu so that the default key bind can be changed.

  • This prevents any value not in the range 0 < x < 252 in the EV text boxes (sets text to red).

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.
