Fixed

• Place no longer duplicates blocks when there's only one left.
• Place no longer deletes fresh pickaxes if a pickaxe has been broken before.

Code of Copper v0.3.3

[0.3.3] - 2024-06-19

Update to 1.21

Changed

• The datapack now requires 1.21.

Code of Copper v0.3.2

[0.3.2] - 2024-04-27

Code of Copper v0.3.1

[0.3.1] - 2024-01-29

The big split

Added

• The background of the text above the golem is now coloured based on its oxidisation level

Changed

• Empty and same programs now rerun the previous program
• Broken golems now store their oxidisation level, and whether they had been waxed

Removed

• All code that processes the GolemScript language
  • This can now all be found in the GolemScript datapack

• The experimental API
  • This is now part of the GolemScript API

Code of Copper v0.3.0

[0.3.0] - 2023-11-26

Overhauled the entire language.

Added

• Custom Functions

Changed

• Predicates updated to use 1.20 format
• The entire interpreter was re-written from the ground up

Code of Copper v0.2.2

[0.2.2] - 2023-02-27

Pipelines and progression

Added

    • This can be prevented by waxing a Golem with honeycomb

Escaping, interaction improvements, position variable, and break instruction.

Added

• $POS variable
• break instruction
• \ as escape for strings and regexes
  • Escaped " are replaced by ” as to not break tellraw

Changed

• README has now been greatly improved
• Golem now uses item and text display entities
• Golem model and texture revamp
• New interaction system:
  • Right click to run a Golem, or with a book to assign a program.
  • Left click to stop a Golem
  • Crouching whilst looking at the Golem allows it's inventory to be
    accessed, or for it to be broken.

Fixed

• Containers not dropping their contents when broken by a golem

Code of Copper v0.2.0

[0.2.0] - 2023-02-21

Changed

• Major refactor of the parser:
  • Variables within arrays no longer need brackets if they use only alphanumeric characters.
  • Operators no longer need a space between them and literals.
  • Lots of behind-the-scenes improvements which will allow for later enhancements.
• Most instructions will allow expressions as their parameters.
• Golems now don't print quotes when printing plain strings.

Fixed

• Golems no longer fall through non-full blocks.
• Golems now reset their variables when the program reruns.
• Items no longer disappear weirdly when placing from the second slot.
