This release of Watson is for the latest development builds of LiteLoader 1.8.0, using MCP 910. It also addresses CoreProtect 2.11 compatibility. Both of these changes were contributed by @tompreuss in #46. Many thanks to him, yet again.

CoreProtect 2.11 drops support for numeric block identifiers. Watson works by scraping text out of chat, so in order to draw blocks correctly, it must be told very specifically what kind of block something is. Currently CoreProtect describes edits to wool, carpet, stained glass and clay without specifying what colour those blocks are, and consequently Watson arbitrarily picks a colour (white) for those edits. If this concerns you, have a chat to the CoreProtect devs about displaying more detailed information for those blocks.

A pseudo-block ID for armor stand entities (reported as armor_stand by CoreProtect) has been added to res/watson/blocks.yml. Note that if you have made a local version of that file in ~/.minecraft/mods/watson/, it will override the version in the Watson .litemod file.

If you administer a server that runs LogBlock, it is recommended that you install config/LogBlock/materials.yml into the plugins/LogBlock/ directory. That file provides better names for the new blocks and allows Watson to draw them better. However, Watson will still work if you don't do that.

Changes in this release are described here.

Installation

Installation procedure:

  1. If you require Minecraft Forge/FML support, then download the recommended Installer from http://files.minecraftforge.net and run that first. I have not tested with Forge at this stage.
  2. Download the LiteLoader 1.8.0 pre-release installer from the LiteLoader Jenkins build server and run it. If you have already installed Forge, then choose your Forge profile in the "Extend from" drop down list (probably something like 1.8-Forge11.14.1.1419). The LiteLoader installer will create a profile in your Minecraft launcher, typically called "LiteLoader 1.8".
  3. Make a .minecraft/mods/1.8/ folder, where .minecraft/ is your Minecraft installation folder.
  4. Download the Watson .litemod file (the first download link, below) and put it in .minecraft/mods/1.8/.
  5. If you're installing Optifine, then download the JAR file and put that in .minecraft/mods/1.8/ as well. I have not tested with the 1.8 version of Optifine yet.
  • The Macro/Keybind mod has not yet updated for 1.8, so there is no Watson integration with that mod at this time.

Note that:

  • Watson will not work if you put it in .minecraft/mods/. It must be in the .minecraft/mods/1.8/ folder in order for certain LiteLoader features to work correctly.
  • Regardless of whether you have installed Minecraft Forge or not, run the LiteLoader 1.8 profile in the Minecraft launcher.
