RoadArchitect

Highlights

• ⚡ Performance: significant speedup (up to ~2×) in structure scanning and pathfinding;
• 🌲 Route clearing: automatic removal of trees from the road corridor;
• 🎨 Biome styles: more default presets for vanilla biomes; broad coverage for Biomes O' Plenty;
• 🧰 Configuration:
  • works across dimensions;
  • road style customization;
  • lamppost customization;
  • road width customization;
• 🔧 Debugging: new “Debug & Diagnostics (Advanced)” tab in the config; outputs debug messages and pipeline profiler results;
• 🐞 Fixes: corrected translation keys for NeoForge.

Compatibility: no world reset required. Save format unchanged. Existing settings are preserved. Biomes O' Plenty support is optional and activates when the mod is present. The “Detailed debug logging” flag is off by default.

Highlights

• 🧭 Terrain Analyzer (beta): clearer recognition of mountainous terrain, with new config options and full translations
• 🧠 Pathfinding controls: configurable land preference and water behavior (acceptable water level, coastal buffer, max coastal speed)
• 🛣️ Partial paths: when a full route can’t be completed, high-progress searches can return the best partial path instead
• 🌊 Safer defaults: oceans are no longer hard-blocked; default “prohibited biomes” now include #minecraft:is_ocean and #minecraft:is_deep_ocean
• 🔒 Stability: thread-safe biome selector cache (eliminates race conditions in concurrent scans)
• 🔧 Fixes: correct player direction on the debug map and reliable point teleportation packet handling; RA config tweaks
• 🧩 Compatibility: improved boot behavior when Distant Horizons is installed
• 🌐 Localization & data: updated category labels, new keys for fresh options, translations split and refreshed (EN/RU/ES/FR/DE/ZH/UK)

Compatibility: No world resets needed. Defaults for water/ocean behavior changed — review new pathfinding options if you rely on custom configs.

Highlights

• 🧩 Add-ons support: official API so other mods can extend Road Architect (events, read-only core views, and per-world storage).
• 📴 No changes out of the box: there are no built-in add-ons; gameplay stays the same unless you install one.

Compatibility: No visible gameplay changes by default; add-ons are optional.

Highlights

• 🧠 Smarter scanning: major performance boost for large-area scans and many structure types—smoother gameplay, cleaner road graphs, and more reliable structure detection.
• 🌲 Deterministic decorations: consistent, per-path placement of decorations (lamps, buoys, side pieces) across chunk loads—less pop-in and cleaner chunk borders. Also fixes common issues like floating fence posts or off-grid buoys.
• 💡 New Lamp decorations: fresh styles and better fence integration where appropriate.
• 🧭 Debug map: shows your position and direction (red dot + arrow).
• ⚙️ New settings (all loaders):
  • Lamp interval
  • Side decoration interval
  • Buoy interval
  • Mask erosion near land/water transitions
  • Toggle for deterministic decorations
• 🛤️ Smoother road profiles: post-processing reduces spikes and clamps extreme slopes for cleaner elevation transitions.
• 🌐 Localization & UI: updated strings (EN/RU/ES/FR/DE/ZH) and a small progress-stage label fix (“initialisation”).

Compatibility: No breaking changes; existing worlds remain compatible.

Highlights

• 🪄 Progress screen: dropped owo-lib and switched to vanilla rendering (Fabric/Quilt and NeoForge), showing the current pipeline stage.
• 🧭 Road-graph debug screen: pan/zoom, tooltips, and a color legend; in singleplayer, clicking a node teleports to it. Opens with H.
• 🧰 Settings: Cloth Config on all loaders; Mod Menu support (Fabric/Quilt); Catalogue support (NeoForge).
• 🌐 Localizations: English, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Chinese.

Compatibility: No breaking changes; existing worlds remain compatible.

Highlights

• ⚙️ Pathfinding (A* / ARA*): adjusted heuristic, removed early termination, expanded profiling.
• 🏗️ Post-processing: trimming roads near nodes, improved junction merging and stabilization.
• 🌊 Buoys: placed only on “clean” water, spaced by real distance, interval increased 12 → 18.
• 🔧 Fixed client ↔ server sync when registering command arguments.
• 🐛 Fixed swamp style: uses MOSSY_COBBLESTONE_WALL instead of MOSSY_COBBLESTONE.
• 📦 Reduced mod size.

Compatibility: No breaking changes; worlds from 1.0.1 remain fully compatible.

To join a server, the mod must be installed on both the server and the client.

Not only! RoadArchitect can connect any structure discoverable via /locate structure. Add the structure IDs or a #tag in the config, then reload/restart the world to rescan.
