Operation: Starcleave

Gamerules

• Added gamerule operation_starcleave:allowStarcleaverGolemFirmamentFracturing, defaults to true. Setting to false will prevent Starcleaver Golems from forming Firmament Fractures.
• Starcleaver Golems' crash-landing-Starbleaching effect is now blocked by the mobGriefing gamerule.

Misc

• Added Bucketable tag to Starcleaver Golems, setting this to false will prevent players from picking one up in a bucket.
• Tweaked Nucleosyntheseed explosion logic.
• Nucleosyntheseed explosions no longer get blocked by operation_starcleave:nucleosyntheseed_blast_immune blocks, and instead just pass through them unharmed (should fix the explosion doing no damag sometimes).

Bugfixes

• Fixed using a single-item-stack of Hollowed Sac on Phlogistic Fire causing the Sac to be lost, rather than turn into a Phlogiston Sac.
• Fixed Starcleaver Golems bucketing not checking if the Golem is alive.
• Fixed not being able to manually set certain Starcleaver Golem NBT tags to false.

Misc

• Updated homepage url to now link to the Modrinth page, rather than the Github page

Accessibility Settings

• Setting Hide Lightning Flashes: ON now disables the lightmap flash caused by Fracturing the Firmament, and not just the sky flash.
• Reducing the Damage Tilt and/or Distortion Effects settings now reduces the effect of Screen Shake.

Tweaks and Optimisations

• Phlogistic-hyperflammables no longer boost burn chance, only spread chance.
• Exploding Nucleosyntheseeds now directly replace nearby hyperflammables with (high-age) Phlogistic Fire.
• Increased age of fire created by Nucleosyntheseeds and hyperflammables (thus reducing spread speed).
• Pegasus Flight power now drops off above the Firmament.
• Pegasus Flight power is now based on a range of Firmament Tiles above the Pegasus rather than just the single Tile directly above it.
• Nucleic Fissureleaves now only replace blocks that are minecraft:replaceable_by_trees, rather than all replaceable blocks.
• Nucleosyntheseed explosions now spawn nuclear smoke particles instead of vanilla explosion particles.
• Reduced the number of large nuclear smoke particles otherwise spawned by Nucleosyntheseed explosions.
• Large nuclear smoke particles can now pass through blocks.
• Reduced average lifetime of large nuclear smoke particles.
• Tidied some render code.
• Minor tweaks to profiling in FirmamentRenderer.
• Reduced frequency of Firmament Glimmer particles.

Bugfixes

• Fixed client Firmament data not getting reset properly when changing worlds, leading to e.g. fake Fractures appearing when Fracturing the sky on new worlds.
• Fixed fog color changing when Firmament Fractures are visible.
• Fixed Nucleic Fissureleaves looking weird on Fast graphics.
• Fixed Starbleached Leaves still using cutout rendering on Fast graphics.
• Fixed Firmament Rejuvenators using the old Firmament height for collisions.
• Fixed Fractures rendering with incorrect transformations in Mirror Mod's mirrors.
• Fixed Fracture light/fog rendering incorrectly with weird camera rotations (e.g. Splinecart).
• Fixed Fracture light/fog rendering incorrectly with Affinity.
• Made sure to actually include access wideners, to avoid potential issues (Fabric).
