Changelog

[0.17.7-beta] - 2026-03-19

Added:

• #388 Debug config option logRepelRods: Enables logging for additional information about trainer repel rods

Changed:

• #387 Reworked Trainer Repel Rod to a block entity
  • Repel rod positions are no longer persisted independently (in data/rctmod.spawn.chunks.repel.map.dat)
  • The block entity now registers itself once it receives its first tick (i.e. its chunk is loaded)
  • This change possibly fixes previously reported issues of repel rods randomly stopping to work and should overall be a more stable solution (while the actual bug was never confirmed/reproduced this is still fair to assume due to the complete rework)
  • Unfortunately existing repel rods will have to be replaced (or pulsed with redstone) to get registered as block entities
• #386 Trainer repel rod now connects to redstone dust

Fixed:

• #385 NPE when attempting to access minecraft instance in datagen task
• #384 Possibility for trainers to spawn outside a players simulation distance (causing chunks to load and performance issues)
