Hello everyone! Apologies for not posting on the first weekend of February. I had an important assignment that took most of my time. However now that has past, I am here to share some of the progress I've made since last month!
There are only a few high priority items left before the BETA. Some I've managed to tackle includes some polishing for new features. A major one is performance improvements with code trying to find Wither Storms in a world. Before, it would scan all entities to try to find Wither Storms, however now there is an internal collection with JUST the Wither Storms, which allows for faster search. I haven't measured the performance gains but I believe it should be helpful, especially when it comes to mob running (for those who know computer science, think a reduction to O(n) time from O(n^2)).
Naza is finished with most features for the 1.20.1 version, and there is only a few things that I want to personally do (hunchback AI rework, Distant Horizons support, and reworking the middle head of the Wither Storm) before the update is released. Before that however, I will be releasing the BETA hopefully soon, as there are only a few high priority items left before I am comfortable releasing it to you guys. I have a break coming up next week in which I hope to get them done.
Thanks everyone for your continued patience, however the BETA will be here soon! Thanks again.
