1.21.1 Backport Changes
- Minecraft / Mappings: Updated target to
Minecraft 1.21.1, Parchment mappings2024.11.17, and NeoForge21.1.215. - Branch: Added branch
1.21.1for the backport. - Keybinding: Replaced
KeyMapping.Categoryusage with a string category key to match the 1.21.1 API. - Mod Metadata: Added required loader fields to
src/main/templates/META-INF/neoforge.mods.toml(modLoaderandloaderVersion). - Mixin (FOV): Adjusted
GameRendererMixinto match the runtimeGameRenderer#getFov(Camera, float, boolean)signature (returnsdouble). - Crash Fix: Removed the float-return injection that caused a Double→Float ClassCastException; now uses the Double-return injection matching the runtime descriptor.
- Build & Test: Rebuilt successfully and ran the dev client to verify startup without the previous ClassCastException.
Notes:
- These changes are limited to the backport; API differences between 1.21.10 and 1.21.1 were handled with minimal, targeted edits.
